Cheers for the offer admin, but I am happy to await the general unveiling safe in the knowledge that it will be totally fit for purpose.

Thanks for the vote of confidence

Admin. I'll help with the testing on the new foru
if you like, I'll follow Nicks lead if requested.

Cheers! Will give you a shout when there is something worth looking at!

Why do you think I PM'd you earlier yesterday to see if you were benched at the mo PM sent.

The mods seem to be dropping like flies. At this rate we'll end up moderating ourselves.

Aye, two mods in 5 years, scary stuff. Seeing as we have had three new mods join in the same period I would use stats to suggest that mod numbers are increasing at a good rate. Moderator numbers on the board have increased at 10% per year over the last five years

With cojak, NAT and rh now modding the forum you are all modding yourselves already Before the of the last few weeks the forum did pretty much run itself.

I reckon quite a few people here are feeling more worried about the contract market than they're letting on, about future prospects and rates even if not presently benched, and this has come across as some of the tetchiness that we've seen of late (not that the atmosphere has seemed that much different to me).

Maybe in the same vein, although grumbling about CUK, scotspine is projecting a similar general sense of gloom and uncertainty.

It could well be! Although the market seems to be picking up for now but I think may well be blatted again after the GE. So if CUK mirrors the jobs market then things will get better for a few months and then go mental again. Oh joy

Bloody spin doctoring and bad maths gets everywhere these days.

It's 8.4% per year. Or 5.9% if you count yourself.

Rounded to the nearest 5% that is 10%...

Would that my ISA were so generous....

To be fair I was only working it out v quickly. Roughly the forum has been on this platform for 5 years. Started off with me and scotspine on here, completely forgot about the CUK Editor (who also mod the forum) and need to include that too actually.

So 2005 = 3 mods and now 2010 = 5 mods = 66.6% increase over 5 years = 13.3% per year.

.....unless you're talking about compounded percentages, in which case it's 10.76% per year!

So I was right the first time then

There is a slight difference between guessing and being right......

<brown nose> Lets just say that yours was an estimate...... </bn>

I will miss your (albeit quite rarely exposed) humour.
(I think) the board in general (sic) will miss you.

(Which means in paraphrase - "As you go I hope you go in peace")

What it actually says is "After you go, wipe your arse with a piece"

Oi SP, The retiring judge walks through an honour guard of judges as they discharge their firearms into the air, while another judge formally bids him farewell. Once they take the Long Walk, judges are expected never to return, but to die "bringing law to the lawless."

Hey, I'm not a number. Not even 156 mod 11.

Hey SP, before you disappear are you up for a tune? A guest spot on the new album?
