    Many conratulations Chris. Well deserved and long overdue.

    Don't worry about the initiation ceremony behind the 'little white door'. I've met the Gimp and he's really friendly!

    Hi folks - everyone's been talking about me on the one day that events conspire for me to be almost completely cut off from access to a computer!!

    Thanks a lot for all the kind words everybody. I'd just like to say that I was extremely flattered to be invited to join the team, not to say suprised - when Marco & I spoke on the phone I thought he was going to ask for some arboricultural advice!!

    I'm very proud to have become involved in such a great community & I'll hopefully be able to live up to expectations. I'll do my best to give it the commitment that it deserves.

    Smileys?
    I have to confess that I do remember using just one, once! Though Mike did add some to some of my posts immediately after I mentioned once that I never use them.

    Whips, gimps & uniforms?
    God, what have I let myself in for?

    Congratulations Chris, i can't say i'm surprised & imo it's well deserved

    I mean't that the title is, not the work that could be involved Been there, done that & no thanks

    Actually this forum is a totally different animal to the two forums i moderated previously, so i'm sure it'll be mostly pleasant
    Bests, Mark
