Back in the office this morning.. head is a little sore, but it would have been rude not take advantage of the Project Manager taking me out...
Having read through the messages... I would say the following -
Lizzie - thanks, I appreciate it wasn't you're doing, I will send a text with my details later, have no intention of leaving no matter what everyone says!
Eamonn - the cut off does seem pretty sharp, a couple of weeks would seem a more sensible time. Thanks for reinstating me, and the new board is a huge improvement - one little bit of sanity in a frustrating place..!
Glyn/Fordie - the bike may be yellow, but with a bit of luck when I get home I might be able to treat myself to a nice new red one
Keefy - I thought I joined the inner echelon a few weeks back - wasn't that what that strange initiation ceremony was about? Or was that only BHCN inner echelon
Ruth - I would of course be very disappointed if you had voted for my reinstatement
...
AndyB - there may be a lot of them in town, but there's even more of them here.. and they're a lot more friendly and polite than the average N'mpton locals
Final thought - wouldn't everyone's life be easier (Lizzie in particular) if there was a facility to join/renew online? Now we've got this fab new board, it it possible?
Thanks to all
Martin
