For my good CAG buddy...

[Dizzy736]

Well done for all your work. Good luck in your future endevours.

[pt2537]

Nope, retiring. After 30 months and a few gazillion posts, I think I have earned it.

crikey is that all, thats part time work that is, you cant retire yet:lol:

[jansus]

gosh 18000 posts in 30 months - you will I am sure get withdrawal symptoms!

 

Your wisdom and comments will be missed

[Guest littlesally]

Why is there a whole thread about this?

There's been some really amazing people just kicked out without all this fuss.

Bye, end of

[Janet-M]

Don't know what to say - without it being removed lol

then try saying something nice, for a change

 

Why is there a whole thread about this? popularity ??

There's been some really amazing people just kicked out without all this fuss. see above

Bye, end of and then they re register

 

anyone got any fly spray ???

[Bookworm]

But I am not getting kicked out. I am very much here, planning to be here (although not spending quite as many hours, lol) with my mates, team members or not, and enjoying retirement. And if my mates and others want to make a fuss... well, that's up to them, wouldn't you say? ;-)

 

I'll lend you my Grinch avatar if you want!

[blueskies]

I never thought I would see the day when Bookie would leave the site team. Bookie was/is my mentor, fellow Barclays challenger (even though she says I wimped out), and good friend. I had the most tremendous support from her when I was a member of the site team. I wish you well in your retirement and hope to meet up with you in the near future.

 

All the best

Ladies, let's not go down this route.

 

Bookworm, you are like marmite, you are either loved or hated. 18000 posts in 30 months is huge.

Littlesal, some people still have their growl, let them growl and howl and bark. Spiceskull started this thread which bookworm was unaware of.

I have two simple words for you bookworm, and they can moderate me for saying it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Luck

wondered what you meant by 'jungle drums'

[Bookworm]

II wish you well in your retirement and hope to meet up with you in the near future.

For the last time, Bluey, I am NOT going to the NCL meet!!!

 

You don't fancy L'pool next weekend, do you?

[Bigmac versus]

Bookie if there was a hall of fame you would be in it, I take my hat off to you and wish you all the best.

Sorry but I'm in Kent that weekend.

 

Please come to Newcastle (I can even put you and Mr Bookworm up (although you may have to go back early while me and Mr BW go clubbing again))

 

If not I will come to London to see you

[HSBCrusher]

 

If not I will come to London to see you

you will be able to buy some nice smelly soap

[Lula]

Well I am shocked, she is an incredibly valuable team and site member and one of the originals, her wisdom, humour and forthrightness are a breath of fresh air and she will be sorely missed.

 

She has encouraged and cajoled and bowed down to no one, there is no one here who is her equal.

 

Ahhhhhhhh want maaaaaa muuuuuuuuuneyyyy

are you saying that Bluey smells? tut tut

[blueskies]

Thanks for the support Lula, next time we could just forget to tell Crusher which pub we are in. (and pick one that has a reasonably intelligent barman)

I completely agree with you Lula. I have a sneaking suspicion though that just because Bookie isn't a team member (contradiction in terms:confused:) she will not lose those qualities that we have come to love and admire.

 

She will always be a great cagger, and an inspiration to many of us, and will continue to help and support those who need it. It's what she does.

Look, If I go somewhere where I can get 4 thirds for the price of 3, then I for one will be going back LOL, although I do think that Crusher intimidated him somewhat

Oh the irony!!!

[Castlebest]

I also take my hat off to a great member of CAG who has helped many people in many ways (how the hell does this site work again? ).

 

Have a great retirement Bookie

Hi Bookie,

 

I'd like to say thank you for all the help, support and encouragement which you have given not just to me but, more importantly, to the Site.

 

I hope you stick around and continue to add to your amazing post tally.

 

[pinkduchess]

i had to do a double take when i saw you'd gone platinum!!

 

i'm sure you'll be sorely missed by the team.

 

glad to hear you'll still be around & not moving on totally. I've been amused by many of your posts.

[Bookworm]

I wonder if I could sell the platinum, replace it with nickel hoping no one would notice and pocket the profits?

[Castlebest]

If anyone can, you can Bookie

[Rooster-UK]

If anyone can, you can Bookie

Careful, she'll have yours, as well!
