Pretty much since post 25. Was it obvious that I've just been posting crap for the sake of it to get my count up?

If 4 is your lucky number, then it's the 444th post that should be celebrating something really special.
Hope you have a good one when it comes.

I wonder what topic it will be in?

Haha, excellent! How long had you been prepping that one? You must be an utter legend on f365.

Heh, about a week, once 2950 or so got breached

I don't get on the football365 forum much these days since I sorta self-banned it at work (as it was seriously affecting my productivity, and I've just escaped the second wave of redundancies and don't want to push my luck!). They probably like me the same as you guys do though, right?

I actually got stuck on post 2999 at about midday today, and couldn't post anymore til I got home and harvested the images off f365!

Oh yeah, Third Nibble made Underwater Countdowns as well, which Matthew Green will probably particularly enjoy....

Just noticed that, somewhere around 60 posts ago, I became a Fanatic; one of only three on the board - and one of those doesn't come here any more, so effectively it's just me and Jason. I raise my glass to you all.

To celebrate my joining the ranks of such people as Howard, Martin Gardner, Gevin, Kai, MWM and Dinos, you are invited to my "1000th Post Party".
Each attendee will receive one party popper, one glass of dry wit wine, and one Findus crispy puncake.
Octochamps will get two of each, and series winners will receive three.

apterous passed 40,000 lines of code sometime in the last hour. Woo!

The apterous database has reached 100 tables. It's about 1.7GB in size, and contains about 14 million entries, if anyone is interested.

Emma and I are engaged! I proposed to her last night and she said yes. We're both very excited. Don't know yet when we're going to get married but we'd like to do it this Summer if we can afford it. In the meantime my 21st party next month is doubling up as an engagement party to save money. We're also going to Paris for a long weekend in March which should be a nice pre-honeymoon getaway.

Here's the ring I bought her. 3rd row in the centre. Needless to say we're both over the moon

Congratulations Dinos and Emma! I'm sure we're all delighted for you. Ring looks lovely. Emma is a very lucky girl and I'm sure you are lucky to have her too.

Our first wedding! Does that mean all the girlies can buy new hats???

Posted: **Thu Dec 31, 2009 7:13 pm**

Massive congratulations! I know you'll be really happy together, and all the very best for your future xxx

(What a lovely way to start a new year - I'll be grinning all night at the thought! Fair play.)

Posted: **Thu Dec 31, 2009 7:46 pm**

Delighted for you both Dinos. Many happy returns (hopefully not the ring though)

Congratulations to you both Dinos and very best wishes.

I would also like to congratulate both Dinos - Dinos and Emma Dino. At least she won't have to change her name.

About: This momentous double occasion will be on Saturday 16th of this month at Vodka Revolution in Sheffield. I'd like to extend an invitation to everyone on this forum since I think you're all proper wicked like

although the venue is strictly 18+ (SorryKai!) I appreciate that it's a far trek for most people on here and you might have other commitments, but I thought I'd invite everyone anyways regardless of travel distance, particularly Larsen! There will be food and beer.

Reply here or Pm me for details if you're interested

Cheers

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2010 1:06 pm**

Only just noticed that you'd posted the great news here. Once again, my congrats to you and Emma. I'm really delighted for you both.

If it's the same weekend that I'm going, then I'll try to keep out of your way.

Would love to come, but not possible unfortunately. However, just two weeks later, why don't you get Emma to come along with you to Colin, as she did a couple of years ago. Then the party would be able to be extended a bit.

I've run it by Emma and she's up for it. While the games are on she's gonna see her friend who lives in Lincoln, then join us for the pub factor afterwards

You're a seriously nice bloke, Dinos, and I'm sure you'll make a great, thoughtful hubby.

I'm looking forward to meeting the lucky girl at CoLin 2010!

Excellent! Well almost. Even better if she were to play, as she did before.

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2010 5:22 pm**

Congratulations, Dinos! May you and Emma have a happy life together!

I would send my congrats in person, but I have no idea when we're next going to meet, since I can't make it COLIN in 4 weeks time.

Still, the best of luck to you and the future Mrs Sfyris.

Jason,

I mean this sincerely:

I will be seeing Dinos at CoLin 2010 in a little over three weeks' time.

Would you like me to deliver a swift kick to his bollocks, possibly with an accompanying message?

I hope he doesn't see this!

Jon.

Surely giving him an address for a vasectomy clinic would be kinder.
Maybe it doesn't make a Vas deferens.

If you had answered: "Yeah, that would be funny!", do you think Jon would actually kick Dinos in the nuts? Yes or No?
