And, "Most Helpful Member"



Congratulations Ismet. Well done.



Does that mean we have one more, or has someone been replaced/left/resigned/been shot?

Never assume anything, it makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me". When will I learn?



See message 14!

Ah Texas



How right you are about assumptions, Ismet Bey has had moderator powers for a long time, what has changed is merely the description of him under his portrait for the sake of transparency.

Ah Harold



Is there anyone else with "moderator powers" that are still not transparent? I'm not asking "who" unless you want it to be made public, I'm just asking: is there anyone else.

That's fairer than my dad.



I used to get a "wallop" before our holidays, in case I did something wrong, which he might miss!

I assumed everyone knew that he was a Mod. Oh, well, perhaps not



Texas - I had the same, unfortuntate upbringing that you had. Got home from school, said to my Mum that I'd got a wallop from a teacher and then got another one - for getting one from the teacher.



Never did us any harm

Jean But he got it even before he'd done anything!

I so remember getting pinched by the teacher in infant school because I pinched

a girl. When I complained to my mum, she said it served me right - and it did!

Just to clarify, there is nobody with admin powers who doesn't have the "Forum Admin" title.

Simply put, no secret admins.

phylray - I used to get a clip - when I said I'd done nothing, the answer was always "well, that's in case you do"".

When I was a little kid, in primary school, the boys used to have their trousers pulled down and they were caned (nothing too harsh). For us girls (I'm talking about 7/8 years old, we used to have our navy blue knickers pulled up and big slaps on the bum (over the the teacher's knee).



Good Lord - imagine this nowadays

Congratulations Ismet I am sure that you will be able to keep this lot in line.!!!!



I am sure the other Mods will be glad of the help as Simbas says with the best will in the world they can't read all the posts, so another pair of eyes will sure help.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:

Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:

And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.

What have I started?



It hasn't done any of us much harm. Living here in the sun, while the rest of the biggers freeze in good old Blightly.



And for those that can't take the NC winters, they bugger off to Thailand or India.



Give me another "wallop".
