Hi folks.
After setting up this site when the original Fanaticus folded, I originally asked for any volunteers for Moderators, and Cromwell stepped forward and has admirably performed duties as required (not that we need a lot of it on here, you are all very well behaved).
My time is now less and less concerned with all things DBA and as such I am handing over the Admin reigns to Cromwell. Thank you for all loving this game and contributing respectfully with one another.
Enjoy your new admin!
Cheers!

Thanks Obadiah for this wonderful site. And congratulations Cromwell on your promotion. We had a saying in the Royal Air Force. "Everyone is promoted to their point of incompetence!" Watch this space!

Thanks Obadiah, for the forethought of setting up thee new forum and gentle management of it. Your efforts are much appreciated. Enjoy your "retirement", but hopefully not altogether from DBA.

Watch this space! ... and we had a saying in the Royal Navy - anyone who volunteers must have misunderstood the question! Simon

Funny thing, my chief was always telling me I had volunteered for something.

During my initial RAF training we had a drill sergeant, Flight Sergeant Bowskill was his name if I remember correctly. He seemed to have a plethora of phrases, such as.
"Gentlemen you have to be at the Gym at 14.15hrs. Form up I will march you down there to save you walking!"
"Mr Bannister, you are training to be a leader of men, currently the only reason anyone would follow you is out of idle curiosity!"
"Does your head hurt sir?" "No Flight Sergeant" "Well it should as I am standing on your hair! Get it cut!"
"Gentlemen, during it's history the RAF has halted the Fokker scourge, faced down the Luftwaffe during our countries darkest hour but now it faces its greatest challenge, you shower of sh--te hawks. With respect sirs!
However he did his job well. After passing out with our commissions he made sure the first salute we got was from him with a "Well Done Sir!"

I’ve never been in the military, but one of my old bosses called Glen had a saying: “No whistling or singing at work...if you’re whistling or singing then you’re happy, and if you’re happy then you’re not working hard enough!”. (He was a miserable sod)I once got in trouble with Glen because my mate Jack was always late for work. One day at about a quarter past eight Glen came into our department and demanded “Right you lot, it’s gone eight, so get to work. And where’s Jack?”. “Ah” I replied, “he’s here, but has gone up to the 5th floor to check on the new installation.” “Right” Glen said, “well tell him I want to see him to supervise the unloading of new equipment arriving today.” So I gathered up my tools and headed for my work station, it being half past eight by now and still no sign of Jack, when I bumped into Glen in the corridor. “Oh, I’ve told Jack you want to see him Glen, but he has just gone to the toilet”. “Really. That’s interesting. Because he has just phoned-in sick...” (I got a ‘C’ on my appraisal that year for being ‘untrustworthy’ )
