Merry Christmas to Carl

Post by Jonathan Rogers » Wed Dec 24, 2014 1:52 pm

Perhaps some one has already started such a thread and I missed it; apologies if so. Otherwise this is one chance to send seasons' greetings to the man who actually pays his own good money for this site as well as maintaining it.

Quite right, seasons greetings and many thanks for continuing to invest time and money in the forum, Carl.

Merry Chrsitmas Carl and a Happy new year.

My New Years resolution is to see if I can add yet more wrinkles to your forehead.
I know I am responsible for at least two of them that are already there.
Next year I'm going for the hat trick.

Hope you have a good lawyer and a good team of IT bods on hand 'cos I am
going to start posting made up losses by the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

..and how come you have not tarted up the site with decorations and
moving Christmas type gifs. You have ruined Christmas.

Can I also add my very best Christmas wishes to Carl, and to all EC forumites - beginning with those lovely guys who have already contributed to this thread :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from me also.

I think I'm the second ECF Officer (after Jack) to post in this thread and I'm delighted to be able to do so. For several months there was a real possibility that ECF Officers would be banned from posting in this Forum. Wiser counsel has prevailed for the present, but I for one will be remaining vigilant during 2015.
