Congratulations go to Duncan/Aktoman, who upped his tally of comments to the 100 mark last week, thus earning himself this special mention.
Although I've got a suitable picture of him, I thought that this one would be better:
A handy little runaround for the outdoors type, no?

Tanks, BG!
Well, that's all I wanted to say, but you system then said "Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again."
Most people worry when I only say a few words. They wonder what I'm hiding. They wonder whether I have merely paused for comic effect. They wonder if they'll find a sliced potato on their desk next morning. But I've never had a computer tell me that.
The “Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again.” thing is due to the WP-Spamfree plugin, it's supposed to deter spam and it's a setting that I don't have access to without hacking the code. Quite how it is supposed to deter spam is a mystery to me, as much of the incoming shite contains reams of info as to why I should be buying "performance-enhancing" drugs by the lorry-load. 😕
Oh, and for the record, the lower limit for comments is 15 characters, so you were nearly there
I could do with a bike like that, to get past the dugs in the morning!
