Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear me-eeeeeeeee
happy birthday to me!
Yes shipmates, 50 years ago today I came into the world to mark this auspicious occasion, today is to be HOST AND ADMIN DAY!
This is the day when hosts & admins get to enjoy themselves and anything can happen in the next 24 hours or so. (It might be longer. It depends how mu** we're enjoying ourselves). Brace yourselves for a bumpy ride!
Please note that the Eighth Day board will be a safe haven from the madness as they have chosen not to take part. [ 18. September 2014, 05:56: Message edited by: Spike ]

Not sure where to post this but just had to say it... After a tricky and tiring day * came onto the Ship and was thrilled to be told to bugger off and then find all this crazy stuff. The only thing that * can't cope with is the comic sans script- it took me back to my teaching days when we had to use it. Not good. Everything else to do with your H and A spree is just genius!
