After several years keeping the fires of Hell burning bright, Sioni Sais has decided it's time to hang up his bowler hat. He's done a fantastic job house keeping Hell, ad we all want to give him a hearty thank you
As the trident of Hell needs three prongs, stepping up to fill the gap in the hosting ranks we offer our thanks and commiserations to Doc Tor.

Thank you, Sioni Sais, for your work to keep the ship (or at least steerage) running smoothly. Doc Tor, I'm sure you'll do a great job, and thanks for taking on the mantle.

I'm going to miss the Hostly Bowler. Wonder what implement Doc Tor will come up with?
Thanks a lot, Sioni, and welcome, Doc, HellHosting is a bit of a specialist art, but the trial run on Host Board went very well! All the very best to you.

Working with Sioni and the Bowler was...well, as much of a joy as we're allowed in Hell. Of course, this new guy ain't half bad either.

Thank you for your service harrowing Hell, Sioni.
I suppose, rather than a benediction, a malediction is in order for Doc Tor? Welcome to the job, anyway, and thank you for taking it on.

If you are looking for the Hostly GIN bottle and it is not in its proper place, check under the cushions of a certain penguin-sized Circus Host's favourite recliner.

Although an argument could be made that the Circus hosts need the GIN more than the Hell hosts. Unless it's really poor quality gin, in which case like really poor quality whiskey it can be useful as a fire starter.

I love that a hell host changeover brings out the best in the Ship's community, you really wouldn't find this in many other places.
Many thanks to you and welcome to you too (hard hat in the post....)

I'm not sure 'Thank you' is appropriate for a Hellhost but I know how it's meant. It gives me a warm glow inside, as opposed to the roaring inferno outside that I am used to.
I'll still be around of course, and I won't have to think 'Does this affect hosting?' Believe it or not I did consider that. Most of the time.
The Hellhosts we now have are some of the sharpest minds on the Ship, all sharp-tongued and wise in timing and his choice of targets. You guys don't know how easy you had it in my tenure. ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)

Always found your Hell hosting most reasonable Sioni. Rusty farm implements don't bother me much. As a youngster I was fond of discovering them in neglected corners.
