You thought Alan's threads would mark the end of this wacky period of change in the H&A ranks, didn't you?
You were wrong, mate.
Joining PeteC, Sioni Sais and comet in the new-look Hellhost team will be the one and only...

Welcome to the team, my friend, I'm sure you'll fit in just fine!

Welcome to the wondrous world of Hosting, orfeo. I reckon orfeo and the underworld has a kind of nice ring to it.
[Don't forget you'll need an infernal Hostly instrument - and Sioni has already acquired the Oddjob Bowler.]

The existing tag came from a Purgatory thread a few weeks ago that got rather Hellish and involved the word "Ignoramus" being thrown at me. I caught it and decided to keep it as a pet.
Psst. Everyone. It was BL who first told me about the Ship. So if this goes horribly wrong, it's all her fault. Okay? Ta.

Orfeo, I gotta say, there was a time, when you were a scrappy little newbie, that you really did put a bug up my ass. No, really. All that faux irritation I displayed in Hell? Wasn't really faux.

Now I can honestly say you are one of my favorite people on the Ship. With a straight face, even. It'll be great to call you a colleague.

I may be both blind and stupid but I could not find why Mr Marvin's name is not listed as a Styx host? If he's going to suffer, least he should get some glory.

Alan (Alan Cresswell) isn't named as a Styx host either. (I'm just writing this one off as one of the mysteries of the Ship I don't know, but if it's important I'll no doubt find out in time.)
