If I wanted to I could close this thread and delete it.
I could disappear for few days/weeks.
I could stick in Mod Note saying No negattivity or saying the day doesn't exist but I'm not.
I really believe in this and it will be a lot better if we all celebrated it together.
They may even be a parade in years to come.

Boards mod doing a fabulous job of driving even more people away from AH. Well done.

I was thinking of funding an AH trip to and beers in Leitrim, until I saw this:(



Sorry guys, but I'm putting it all into this year's SSF now

Two and a half grand transferred to kick off this year's appeal

Feels better there than funding all your hangovers.....

All we wanted was lovely day with cake and balloons and some people just want to ruin it.
That's why I'm staying strong on the matter
Some peole want the day others don't.
You don't have to celebrate it.
Somebody is even making a crumble.

Ah no, you're doing a great job of that all by yourself.

YOU wanted it, and as a Mod of this forum, yea you suckered a lot of people into believing there was something actually significant on the horizon. And why? Because maybe people thought all those threads of feedback that they've contributed to might actually be bearing some fruit, or maybe there was a big change to how the site works on the way etc...

But nope.. just a poorly judged attempt at humor.. Well done.

I don't even know why I'm annoyed.. I shouldn't be surprised really at this stage. AH is getting more juvenile by the week lately.

I’m making some waffles to celebrate, blue waffles to match the boards colour scheme. Recipe is on the net if anyone wants to look it up.

For anyone interested, a Google image search is the best way to find the recipe.

My read of this latest "oopsie" is that FPC had a bit of a brain-fart when he posted the OP (possibly drink related), the thread grew legs, and then he had to come up with something, and is now too far in to back down now.

It's still better than the alternative that someone higher up thought this was a good idea!

Pas de merde, Sherlock.

Hang on a minute - that looks remarkably like one of the throwaway e-mails used by one of our regular re-reg trolls. Just missing the "@yandex.com"

Does "Old Jakey" mean anything to you?

That’s what makes this thread so good.

One guy closed his account. He had had enough.

Before you thought it couldn’t get any worse, someone left the cake out in the rain. I don’t think that I can take it, coz it took so long to bake it, and I’ll never have that recipe again. Oh no!

We are delighted to announce that Friday the 10th of August 2018 we'll be celebrating our first After Hours Day.
Share your experiences of After Hours.
Tell us you story about why you came here in the first place.
Has it changed your life?
Get other non Boards.ie users to celebrate the joys of After Hours tell them about it over lunch or an announcement in the office.
Decorate your work place or home with balloons and bunting.
Bake or Buy a cake and share it with others.
Make it a day to remember.
I know some will be disappointed with the news. I did explain it may make you happy,sad, etc. We had a lot more planned but due to certain individuals we had to move it forward because they couldn't wait.

Some people have too much time on their hands.
Think of the good could be done with allotting the time wasted modding with actual volunteer work.

Just sprinkle a few sultanas on it and tell them it's a moist fruit cake.
