Welcome to our new Mod Overlord

Tom Dunne · 2008-03-25 12:12:31

After a sekrit ballot among the most senior members of the BGRH team, along with a liberal sprinkling of coke and hookers, it is with great pleasure and a blocked nose that I announce our new moderator, Brother trout. As is customary, he will be purchasing beer both in Yore Ma's and in a Real World bar at the beers next…

According to Section 4, subsection b, paragraph 2, lines 6-7 of the rules, being a BGRH Legend does not automatically allow you access to the hookers.

You have the honour of keeping the BGRH Mods fed with beer, both in Yore Ma's and in any Real World bar we should find ourselves in.

There was something in there about a weekly wax of a Moderator's back, where applicable, but I can't seem to find that right now.

You are welcome.

This may make his status provisional until he passes the initiation tests.

There is no truth to the rumour that Captain Birdseye was part of the selection committee.

So if trout is detected to be a gym-frequenter, I'll gladly step up to the mark.

Hehehe ... fixed yore post there.

Firstly ... my thanks to all those who supported this surprising move. Even if you are all imaginary voices in Tom Dunnes head ... I thank you.

Secondly ... if Mairt continues to post nekkid pictures of himself in a pink airbrushed bikini, I will reserve the right to deliver 20 stone of Justice.

I think visits to the gym, for the express purpose of turning Brother Mairt upside down, are permitted in the spirit of the forum. *ahem*

Oh, did I mention the venue for the meeting was in my head?

That would therefore exclude you and Igor, for understandable reasons, I am sure you will agree.
