1,000th post! Whoo-hoo! Look at the streamers and banners go! Who bought the cake? Why, you guys! Have you been sat here in the dark long?

Speech? Oh, I couldn't! Well, ok then...

Thanks to everyone for coming along, I really wasn't expecting this! I realise that some of you have had to travel a long way for this so thanks again, have a drink on me! The bar apparently is free for the first hour, after that I've got some white spirit in the boot of the car, we'll start on that. I can't say that I know any of you... at all, but I'm sure that if I did this would be the point where I had a funny anecdote or two about some of you, probably involving jumping a fence into someone's back garden as children to use their swimming pool. If any of you have any anecdotes you just want to remind yourselves of at this point and pretend that they apply to this situation, then feel free!

Um, I hope you all have a good evening, do mingle, and I hope to catch up with you all at some point. Other than that (wipes tear from eye...) thanks again, if it weren't for you then my days at work would be spent doing work and stuff, so you guys really do register a minor amount of importance in my life.

See you at 2,000!
