Well done Nigel. Your humourous and knowledgeable comments on all things Blyton and non Blyton play a big part in making these forums the great place that they are.

If Nigel liked long posts, he wouldn't have posted so many short ones.

Haha! Nice one, Rob - imagine if all 20,000 had been long posts....
Thanks Julie for spotting this - and John's kind comments.

Congratulations Nigel!
It's certainly a milestone and I have enjoyed every single one of them.

If Nigel's posts had been long ones Rob, he'd never be off the forums, and we wouldn't have much time then to spend in the pub.

Congrats Nigel!! As others have said, (almost ) all of your posts are a pleasure to read, and often very humorous, so you quite deserve this thread.
