It has to be said that snookered is not the only guy to be clocking up the 10 year mark this week (what a landmark/mixed bag of a seven days that must have been a decade ago).
I should give thanks to the many babes on the channels, most of whom have left the screens (and in some cases, the business) before my very eyes (ahem)
Then there's the channels, most of which have also dwindled and disappeared on my watch (ahem again)
So that brings me to the many people here I've sorta got to know over this time, a lot of whom have left for one reason or another (maybe that's enough of that line of thought)
I did look back at my Intro thread, partly to see who else might have landed here at that time – no, just snookered & I of note. I couldn't see a thread for him, which fits his m.o. of being part of the furniture (that doesn't quite sound as generous as it's meant to). I did read in mine that I got a nice comment from Forum Style, which reminds me how kind people have been, and how sometimes people don't get a choice about leaving.
So, yeah, thanks everyone, I think I've become a better person over 10 years – which is nice (also perhaps not for me to say). Certainly one lesson I feel I've tried to learn (not entirely succeeded) is knowing when it's a good time to keep your trap shut – one reason I stepped away from the News Zone, once I realised it had become counter-productive, and was causing upset. It does give me more time for other things, so it's a win-win.
I am aware that a surprising number of you have higher expectations, or demands, for these shows than I do. But hey, friends can disagree and still be friends, that's one of the great things about it.
I won't name particular people (apart from the 2 I already have) because I'm bound to forget someone important and upset them. So I'm missing everyone instead, to be on the safe side. If I've repped you, you should know anyway, and if I haven't yet, then I'm probably getting around to it slowly.
Damn, this “why use 10 words when 1000 will do?” act is very tempting after all...
