Heck I'll be going on a couple of weeks holidays next week and I'm likely to miss you clock over the 5000 mark.

Yet another milestone birdy - is there anything you can't do?

Well done birddog. The most important thing is that every post is an entertaining read - quantity & quality. :wink:

Probably 10,000 by August is more appropriate.

I've met the legend a few times now... and he lives up to it...

Well done Birdy... Your posts are nearly always informative or amusing... Keep up the run-rate.

Wow, I always get a kick out of your posts. I was watching you approach 4000, you wailed (whaled?) on it. I remember when you hit two thousand thought that you were going to run out eventually. But no you're on an exponential curve.

I talked to the wife today about possibly going to Sydney for vacation this year. I'll keep everyone posted if it actually happens and I look forward to meeting the legend at some point as well. She brought me home an exploring Sydney book the other day, so that was promising, only problem is that I'm running out of vacation days. If only I had another week. I digress, congrats Birdie.
