And this is Party hearty, written Feb 06, 2006, and concerning Updates, Men With Big

At the weekend, I celebrated my thirtieth birthday by going to the mediæval banquet at the Tales of Robin Hood in Nottingham, along with Sam, Ade, Jono and Sooz, Bill and Ginny, and my mum and dad. It was great. A really excellent evening. Monsieur Bald has some pictures, and more will be forthcoming. I got to go up on stage and help the juggler bloke with a trick, and for some reason the audience really liked me and took the opportunity to chant my name every time a volunteer was requested. Not quite sure why, but I can't deny enjoying it. Everyone seemed to have a really great night; now to look forward to Bill's 30th! I also garnered much cool loot for presents, including Monkey Picked Tea, a Phobile, Mr T. in my pocket, some Jelly Babies, and a really rather nice new coat. I love birthdays. Thanks all for coming and making it a great party!

Come on fella, re-open the "Carphone Warehouse Page"

It was helping a lot of people and was being talked about ALL AROUND THE COMPANY.

You never know......enough hits and you can earn advertising revenue.

PLEASE PLEASE open it for us again, even if its just to post another link to this

itstimeforchange: there are plenty of places you could set up discussion groups. See Yahoo Groups, or http://atwiki.com/, or setting up your own Carphone Warehouse discussion weblog through Blogger, or any one of a dozen other places. Please stop hijacking other people's weblogs that just happen to mention Carphone Warehouse and turning them into a discussion group for you and your colleagues. If you do that, then I'll post a link to the bottom of my page that you hijacked pointing at the new discussion group that you've set up.

[...] A brief history: I closed off comments on the post some time back, after it got up to 250 comments. Someone emailed me and left a comment on another post asking me to open it back up so conversation there could continue, because it “was helping a lot of people”. I took, and still take, the view that this site is mine, and I run it for my benefit; it’s not here to provide people with a general discussion forum. There’s other examples of that here too; I’ve closed off commenting on a post I made being amused about Schroedinger’s Cat because it became a discussion forum for people whose cats had died, and on my how to be rich and famous post after it became a place for people to post their phone numbers looking for talent agents. So, I said that if the Carphone Warehouse employees set themselves up another place to talk about this, I would add a comment directing people to that new place, which seemed to me to be a reasonable compromise. They did so, and I did so. However, I just checked that forum, and it no longer exists. [...]
