Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Looking at some of the posts id say 3000000000- could be a bit more but you may be feeling generous today ...
That figure could be _reasonably_ considered to be in the ball-park
.:evilangel:
Ooh, I think I may have just noticed a potential 1,000 post comp in the off'ing :evilangel: 
My word! Has anyone else noticed how quiet Mr F has been since he announced this comp?
Could he be trying to put off parting with cash to post a freebie to the winner?

Hmmmm I'd been thinking the same
Just giving folks a chance to get their ideas in mate - me ...scared of parting with cash? Nooooooooooooooooooo!
John's usual mindset ...
And when told he must part with cold hard cash ...
My sincere apologies to the Pongo family genotypes for any offence caused by this vulgar analogy.
Not long left at all realy....

until it stops making a thumping noise, and starts making a sound similar to a trifle being thrown against a fridge door 
This is definitely true.
It only took John 60 years to learn that walking into trees isn't a painless idea and that gravity tends to get anyone down

How many times you want to hit Decorum?
Well certain factors needed to be taken into consideration.
With an open palm, as in bitc# slapping him, I would say 55 until your palm got too tender from the stinging sensation.
With a closed fist I'm guessing 15 tops. Too many bones in the hand to break against all that solid bone of the head, Decorum's head especailly so. But target they abdomen and I'd guess that number would be up to the mid 40's.
With a baseball bat? Well, what does it matter, because after the first 5 or 6 Decorum would have lost interest in keeping count of them anyway.
One more post for the big one John. Shame you didn't get a quid for every post you make innit?
Nice comp mate, and your book's great. I have a copy of it already but like has been said a signed copy from BCUK's resident demi god would be great!

I suppose the main factor to be considered would be to actually catch you would it?
Did laugh at that demi god comment. You're so dead meat once he gets his hands on you LOL!!

Well - here it is ...my 10 000th post!
Before I anounce the winner I would like to point out a couple of things....
1 - It has cost me the equivalent of about £200.00 in "give aways" (not inc P&P) to reach this point
2 - I have had great fun with this comp
3 - This comp has made me realise how many folk I have said "Hello and Welcome" to over the years
4 - This comp has made me realise how many good folk there are on BCUK
5 - in future I will only be running comps for posts in multiples of 10 000, not 1000!
The number I originally thought of - and which I was suprised that no one got is ............... 666 - "The Number of the Beast"!
It just seemed too right to me ....
The Devil gets into Decorum and makes him say terrible things (he calls them jokes!) - only the Devil could want nice, kind, lovable me want to get violent (even with Decorum trying to wind me up!) and I have a Devil of a time when at RC meets organised by Decorum!
Seeing as no one got this right I am having to resort to plan "B" with the prize going to the poster that made me laugh the most during the comp ... and that has proved tough to adjudicate!
After long hours going through the posts - and I took Decorum off my ignore list to see what he had been saying (he may well go back on permanently!) - I have come to a non reversible decission.....
And it is a wierd one!
The winner is Decorum!
Not only were some of his posts actually funny (a first there mate - well done ......you can give up trying now) but his continual and futile attempts to wind me up kept me laughing over the whole period of the comp!
There were some close contenders (trifle/fridge door ...why stop ...etc) but in the end the outstanding effort (and result) were Decorums...
So, Decorum - you mad fool - PM me with the e-mail addy of your choice and it will be winging its way to you ASAP!

Cheers for the comp John. It was great fun ~ especially when you discovered that I use different screen names on other forums . That's almost a complete gear box :yikes:
p :sad6: ).I suspect that you came second in that
I had a quick look and a quicker think ...
You joined five days short of seven months before I did and, in the interim, you have posted approximately 400% more than I have ~ an average of _about_ 2,000 per year against my 2,500(ish) in four and a half years.
7,500 'Hello and Welcomes'?
Or a good chunk of welcomes and a whole lot more blether?
An educated man, but it can be a while before the penny drops (John really doesn't like to part with money
) So, 20000 comp by Christmas?
The Number of the Beast is 616. 666 muscled in and usurped the original number after a series of bad press reviews
.Rosie reckons that you might have that the wrong way round
They are all funny*, it's just that you are learning to appreciate them. My humour must be growing on you ~ in it's own way it's a bit like a fungus (pun intended
)* For an unspecified value of 'Funny'.
I'll never not be trying
.If they weren't effective I will have to redouble my efforts
. Perhaps my next comp will have to be based on Monopoly. With 'Who can annoy 'someone' the most?' And the tie-breaker as 'And what with?'.
