I was also surprised at who some of the lower of the 50 were. There are one or two who you'd think would be higher than they really are, but they're obviously not as active as I thought.
On the other hand, I know Howard posted a lot while he was here, but I'm amazed he's still on the top 50 list (just) - he anounced his departure yonks ago. I see his hifi web site is active again.
I am very happy with my daily average feels like the right balance for me
It's quality that counts. Steve makes often longer and more detailed posts. I usually keep it in a couple of sentences...Quote:

A lot of people (like Steve) can't type while working... :eyebrows:
My excuse is my Iphone and o2's free mobile broadband, and the fact I work on computers, and the fact hannah watches to much shit tv - I like to stay in the same room but I can't concentrate on Reading books with peggy mitchel scretching in the background so aos ocupies my mind!
Can't believe I just trailed through this....cheezuz:lol:
Coincidence, I have to say!Quote:

For some, this was the only way to hear real pop music as the BBC would not pay royalties and got a complete numbty Danny Street to produce barely recognisable cover version head all during the week. The Pirate Radio stations set up to get around this were not receivable in Cornwall where I lived.
Some of us, me included, recorded our favourites from Pick of the Pops on Fidelity reel to reel tape recorders. I used a crystal set with a long wire antenna and a 3 gang high Q preselector. Brilliant quality..............

Note to self.
Must get out more..
I thought my average posts per day would have dropped more than it has - and being joint highest climber shows I'm obviously not spending a bit less time like I thought I was! Andre's effort is supreme though in particular, as well as Dimitri - spectacular new entries!
The threads I really get stuck into are generally the ones where I end up with the threat of a ban!
This was great - you could choose your music! (Radio 1 1985 - I want it on vinyl!)
Sadly, I didn't chart:(
This looks like it's going to be a popular theme Martin, there have been requests for me to keep it up on a six monthly basis.
Plenty of time for you to come screaming in with a bullet!
Blood hell! I made it in the top 50. I really have no idea where some of you guys find the time to post so much. Do you also only get 24 hours in a day but sleep for around 7 of them? or do you live on another planet with longer days!
I just use my hours twice! For example, I'm posting this whilst having my morning poo... It's called "multi tasking" aparently, females invented it and we arnt suposed to be able to do it but I have discovered a few exeptions to the rule, and that when I post...
Hahaha, ya mucky pup... WAY too much info!
Multi-tasking, eh? Try posting when you're having your morning 'shuffle' - no on second thoughts, don't bother!! :lol: :eek:
Marco.
i can't even mono-task, let alone multi..... ;)
I have a computer at work & two at home on all the time, draws me in like a magnet
Yeah watch that multi tasking, you'll just end up wiping your arse with your phone and writing your next post with your soiled finger on the loo paper.
:lol: :lol:
Hmm yes, the hangover I had this morning I'm suprised that didn't happen!
Whisky and coke was it ?Quote:

The last time i had a major session on Gin with bitter lemon was in Ibiza circa 1985 in a night club, i was on my hands and knees trying to find the way out, i eventually did but could not remember what the girl i pulled looked like so decided to go back to the hotel alone, then found a mate sobered up a bit and then had a fight on the beach with a spanish bloke who took offence to my face when i could eventually walk properly again.
so i try to steer away from gin in volume nowdays
Bah, you should give it another go, mmmm tastey gin, you know you want to ... I was 2 in 1985 :lol:
Gin? Oh deary me.... :rolleyes: :eyebrows:
Marco.
Gin. 'Mother's ruin'
'nuff said.
:lol:
Stella Artois. 'Glasgow Smack'
'nuff said ;)
Stella Artois
'wife beater'
'nuff said.:lol:
Gin = closet panty sniffer (or bed-wetter) - end of! :lol: :lol:
Marco.
Stella gives me almighty headaches, and that's before i get drunk....................
I have come close to that on occasion :glug::drinking:Quote:

................It might explain why they shout at me though................
It's embarrassingly obvious when one has to carry a closet round as well. No wonder people stare.
OK boys and girls, I promised to do this every 6 months. And 6 months is up!!!
So let's see who's spending too much time at the keyboard then shall we?
No prizes for guessing who's top of the tree..............
Select your music for the chart run-down from these:

Yay - I made the top 10!
OMG - I made the top 10!
Was going to say I need to get a life, but actually I have one and I quite like AoS being a part of it, thank you very much! :)
Goodness, I must get a life! Perhaps I had better stop posting and think about what to do for my eventual 3000th post.
Nice touch in providing suitable 'count down' music, Chris. Lord - weren't those Top of the Pops sleeves awful?
Regards
Aye but the birds were nice..:eyebrows:Quote:

alb,
symon &
Howard Popeck
Howard can be found elsewhere on the W's if you look hard enough (not too hard - he's only one click away from AoS at the moment). As for alb & symon, well I hope they won't make themselves strangers.
You may have noticed that it has changed to the Top 50 from the OP title of Top 20 Posters. It's not too tough to sort that out, but the data that takes the time to find is the figure for the number of posts per day. You'll see that I've been rummaging around in each of your profiles to find that. It wasn't too bad when it was a Top 20, but this list of 50 makes it a little time consuming. Next time I expect each of you to leave a little something for me to make the task more pleasant.
...................well, Santa gets a glass of brandy & a mince pie when he come visiting doesn't he?............Jeezus, even the reindeer get a carrot!
17th! I really must stop this early morning posting. Err...
one day I may make it.
I forgot to mention, those figures are as of 8 o'clock last night, so remember they're just a snapshot. These things are changing all the time.
I wonder if Hamish noticed we were just one post apart!
You can do a LOT better than 17th, Martin! ;)Quote:

Let's see how many of those hovering around the 400-500 mark can get to over 1000 by next year, and there might be a special wee prize :cool:

Yes,a visit to Marco's dungeon!

There are lies, damned lies & then there are statistics :ner:
I saw this thread a good while ago but didn't realise it was updated every so often :scratch: So i'm straight in at number 37 eh? I really must stfu sometime :doh:
As for Marcos bottled bath water :spew:
In all seriousness though it's a grand site & a pleasure to be here :)
Hey, I'd even give you the choice of smooth or with 'bits in'! :lol:Quote:
