New Moderator

moderators · Post by **moderators** » 01 Jan 2007, 18:09

We are delighted to announce that POL is starting 2007 with a new and most welcome addition to the Moderators group.

I'm sure you will all agree that Poppy possesses all the qualities needed to supervise our goings on

. Indeed, her uncanny knack of knowing just what is happening on the High Street (and in our front rooms

) made her an obvious candidate for the post. After much arm twisting, she has graciously agreed to join our merry band, so welcome Poppy and thanks!

It was probably opium or heroin. Which would be somewhat ironic, would it not?

Congratulations on your new office. I hope they decorated it for you.

Hahaha.

Poor Ali - he's got me at work with the potential for getting him into trouble with his Team Leader when his work is returned for correction*.
And now this....

* Not often, to be honest

That's why I agreed to the arm twisting/drugging etc

Well done Ploppy, We look apon the Moderator of PoL like the Vatican look apon the Pope. Bob was young, likeable, was here for ever, and became very powerful!!!!! So this time to rectify the power problem, we just voted for an "auld yin"

Are you sure?

I'm even more scared of Poppy now than I was before. Congratulations to you, if that's the appropriate phrase.

Oh dear!! - It looks like I'm going to have to do all the cooking for me and Poppy at weekends now. What's the next step - ironing?!!

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 03 Jan 2007, 00:33

I'm afraid that from now on we will be making great demands upon your good lady, but I would never expect a gentleman to do his own ironing. Heaven forfend!

Congratulations Poppy

Will I have to give you a little curtsey next time we meet

Knew they'd get to you in the end Poppy! Was it the 10th 'free' drink that did it?

Sure you'll be a wonderful moderator - after all, the last two weren't up to much......
