yaaaay! 999

oi! 1000

cue tsunamis, earthquakes, catacyclismic volcanic eruptions, raining frogs,

sorry 404 - only just read your post (after I'd seen 999 and posted). How can I redeem myself for this heinous crime?

it's ok sylvester . I am so happy for the 999th place.

Ah, you say that 404, but then it was 999 replies, therefore making your post the 1000th post and mine the 1000th reply.

noooooo. Would you like to count from the beginning? My post was the 999th. It doesn't matter how many replies there are (or it does and I don't know because I missed a meeting??)

How long do we predict it will take to hit the 2000th post???

hmmm... 993 posts later?

Argghh, missed the 1000th post!! Sue will also be annoyed...

aw Ann, 1999th is yours if you want

It's taken us almost exactly 3 years to get to 1000. Presumably, we can lookforward to post 10,000 in 2034 and post 100,000 in 2304. I can't wait.

Yup Ann, annoyed - but I saw it coming. Approaching deadlines made me choose work over post 1000
Anyway, here's 1012's significant event (courtesy of wikipedia): Mael Morda rebels against Brian Boru (I choose the one I'd vaguely heard of...) We could learn a lot here...

At this rate, I won't be around for post 2000 either.
