    This won't come as much of a shock but we've completely blown last Sept out of the water.

    We ended this September 850 posts ahead of last Sept and 1,419 ahead year to date.

    The last week in September had over 700 posts which was more than pretty much any other month (bar January) that goes to show the ramp up towards the end of Sept

    There is great energy in here this over the past few weeks, I love hearing all the different memories being discussed. It's exactly what we need now.

    Crazy busy in here these day. You go off for an hour come back and lots of new posts!

    Loving the Best Santa present thread. Surprised it never came up before or maybe it did before my time.

    I forgot to say we ended Sept off in style as the last day in September is now the busiest day of the year to date.

    It's the busiest eclipsing the next day by 45 posts.

    We have also passed 2016 & 2017's total number of posts for the year!

    I say if we can re-open everything next year there will be a serious dip, but I'm ok with that. People need to get away relax, go to gigs, holidays, etc.

    So I'm making hay while the sun shines this year.

    Next year might be even busier for those abroad that won't get home for Christmas will be longing for a Christmas at home

    Who knows maybe in the New Year we will be all discussing what we have taken from this Christmas that we will certainly bring forward to other Christmas's

    Maybe a slower pace Christmas at home will suit people and they will be longing for it

    My own suspicion is that with Christmas 2020, much like the rest of the year, being quieter in terms of social gatherings & events that when this whole covid thing lifts (hopefully in 2021) that there'll be a collective OTT response purely through relief & a desire to mix & interract with the greater world again. Not saying everybody will, some may have come around to enjoying & preferring the quieter way of life, but I suspect many will go overboard & party like its 1999!! So christmas 2021 may be a cracker for many... we'll just have to wait & see!

    I've said it before I genuinely think people will start new traditions this Christmas that might continue for years to come.

    This month is on steroids!

    It turns out lockdown and dark evenings caused us all to flock here.

    So with 1.5 days left in the month this is now the busiest month EVER for the Christmas forum, surpassing the previous total aby 250 posts.

    It is also 1.5k ahead of last years October. We have surpassed the total for all prior years except 2019. And are currently 3k ahead of last year, year to date.

    We'll pass that 2019 total this month, especially if we get some more adverts, songs, movies on our radar so to speak as we get closer to c-day!

    About 98% of mine. Mainly due to family commitments in the evening and trying to stay off online at weekends.

    I'm sure my boss wouldn't mind as it's good for my mental health. This is my get away from work, family, pandemic etc.

    I have a good routine, I start work at 7.30am, blast through a load of work, check in on boards at 9am.


    In the new ways of working the traditional 9-5 is dead, it's very much flexi-time so just cause people are on during 9-5 times doesn't mean their work isn't getting done... :)
