    You'd be surprised

    However, the EO we've met at the London events is indeed EO, rather than EO

      For the record, I have now visited approximately 50% of the posts that admin has made since his/her/its first post on 6th July 2005 at 14:43 and have yet to find any definitive indication as to which of the possessive pronouns I should be using (although this post in "Currently Listening To..." is the funniest so far ).

      I will continue to use all three, randomised to avoid giving precedence to any one, until I either find a post that clearly establishes which is correct, or admin expresses its/her/his preference.

      Of course, this assumes that the use of "we" in so many admin posts is merely the Royal "we" - if there is in fact a colony, or "hive mind", things become even more complex

        We have never met Gonzo. Maybe next time I am down in your neck of the woods

        I have three bits of good news,
        first, I didnt have to sleep in the car last night, the missus let me in
        second , she, the missus, has agreed to get involved with CUK and want to chat to CM about planning road-trip type holidays
        third, I met two really nice guys last night, RichardCranium and Wilmslow

        a cracking night

          My tummy is nearly back to normal now.

          But I'm still a bit delicate.

            That's what she said.

                    He speaks very highly of you - I think, I'd know for sure if he wasn't on my ignore list...

                    BTW, had a very enjoyable evening. Thanks to all!
