    My memory doesn't really work to pick out individual things.

    I just like the nice PEOPLE really.

    When we hit 10000.

    .

    I explained to OH that I had opened a new thread (it is all greek to him) when I said it was thread 10 and each previous thread had 10000 posts he was amused and working out the hours. I think he only considered posting activities. Not reading, and he does not know about 'thanking'.

    10000 posts x 9 threads:eek:

    micheals could you calculate NP time invested and draw meaningful conclusions from these variables?

    Using 1 minute per post, and 20 seconds to read a post, makes about 540000 minutes of NP time, so 1 day, 10h (assuming 15 NP, viewing every post) of time taken up, when this hits 10000.

    Who is starting the new one?

    ETA: Found it, well done Spirit!

    When I try to explain the NPT to DH he frowns, looks confused and then gives me a 'does not compute' look. Then when I try to extend my logic and explain in more detail, I get more quizzical looks but this time accompanied by "why?"

    England, Surrey and NSW in that order.

    Tottenham and Sydney FC in the soccer.

    Are you thinking of applying for citizenship? If so, how will that change things?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Nothing really changed when I acquired British (or, indeed, Russian) citizenship.

    I still view myself as Georgian, but living abroad, and as such I still speak Georgian at home (and occasionally at work).

    On football, I support an English team, but at the same time, I (and most my fellow countrymen) did already :D

    LOL.

    I had a box of small crackers I put on every year. It could be quite difficult keeping them intact as some people think it's acceptable to walk in, grab one and pull them....

    I was eyeing up some up the other day thinking "I'll get some of those when I finally get a home/xmas tree... maybe next year"
