Hah! Like I believe that, Curly. That excuse gets old very quick, when you jump in the deep in like you did.

1. realise that I am fitting in
or
2. get told to shut up
Once condition 1 is met, not-posting is unoptional.

If condition 2 is met, the correct response is "YOU ARE!"

I'm not at all scary. I'm a quite-lovely person who is very approachable and friendly and gregarious and coherent and the next person who says otherwise is going to have their spinal chord eaten in situ from tail to top by my pet basilisk, Pwca.

Sure thing. A pint of Zany Carter Deluxe coming right up.

When can I expect my Bilbothy to be delivered?
The Bilbophy (correcting my own misspelling) is not a thing, but a place within your heart, where you open yourself to the possibility that most people are good people, and that someone you don't know is just a friend you haven't met yet, and that the world is indeed a beautiful place of love, and chocolate and pastry and unlimited-bacon-for-all-dogs and...

Nah, sorry, I can't keep it going. Your Bilbophy is above. Please thank your family, your manager and whatever gods you cravenly beg every night before bed not to eat your puny soul.

See him? He's over there, about to throw another banana at you. Oh, no, that's right, he's invisible (except for when I can see him). He's my friend, the invisible and inadvertently violent gibbon...or I'm his psockpuppet, and he's the real one...or we're both figments of Brian Jr's imagination...but, anyway, he's quite a swell chap who'll happily pull your colon out through your left nostril if you frak with the fairy (that's if you're lucky and the fairy doesn't frak with you first). Any control I once had over him has since been lost, and the Llounge and its occupants, particularly its more literary denizens, appear to have imbued him with complete autonomy and an out-of-(my)-control sense of independence. They don't make invisible friends like they used to.

What can I say - it just looks gorgeous and is the first award I've picked up since the Under-13 Portishead and District Football Cup (Runners Up) - 3 appearances, no goals, no assists. I'll put it next to that in the Trophy Cabinet that I am now going to have specially built for my downstairs toilet.

Looking forward to my first pint of Zany Carter Deluxe - as a man who once drank drain cleaner for a few months (I thought it was a liqueur - long story!) - I doubt it'll bother me too much.

Just off to the shops to buy a tin of Award Polish.

Don't let that stop you providing us with an acceptance speech. We're waiting......

I make a 1:99 ratio Zany Carter Deluxe to drain cleaner alcopop, so that the pre-teens have something safe to drink.

i think it's time to make a wiki entry about the mythologie of the Llounge. Adrian, the squirrels, shums, zany carters, harv and vera, llamas, etc. they should all be documented.

there was actually a suggestion a while back that we make a wiki page about mobileread, giving things like milestones in the forum's history. i'll see if i can find that thread...

meanwhile, who will start the wiki page ? nick seems like a good candidate, he seems to have a good knowledge both of the wiki and of the various stories...
