This marks my 5,000th post - and how better to celebrate than a picture by hacker (I hope he doesn't mind but it suits the poem beautifully) and a poem that I penned for the occasion.
Well this is my 5000th post
And please dont see this as a boast
But I thought I celebrate this node
With a simple TPF based ode
Ive been here for a year or two
And posted photos just like you
And on the way Ive got to know
The people mentioned down below
Those who run the place you know
Dod, CT, Marcel and
Glo
Rob and
Ian and
Digital Failure
Post too large - they're bound to nail yer
Lets not forget the other Mods
Moomike, Matty, Matt are Gods
And the one Ive left til a little later
Is motor man old
Badgerbaiter
But what about the rest of us
I think its time we made a fuss
Theres
Fangman, Ven theyre nature lovers
And
sawman too to name another
And talking of things out in the field
Our friend
Janice has oft revealed
Natures colour - its so lush
And that chiff chaff in her bush
Flower ladies we regard with honour
Susane and
Jo and clever
Donna
Their shots are skilled theyre never lucky
Lets not forget the ones by
Ducky
And what about the great debates
The threads that everybody rates
The monthly I hate HDR
Ooops Look out here comes
Pete Carr
The togs come from the Uks ends
The Souths got
blinkerz and
Ladylens
Two Scots are
Gary and
Himupnorth
Its cold up there for what its worth
ChewyUk is Cardiff way
King Boru - Irish - has his say
There are many folk of whom to speak
Grendel, Toothie and
Techno Geek
Some hail from even distant shores
Anton and
Jewel and maybe more
And some names can be so hard to speak
Namillhs and
Mojo Jojo - eek!!!
Davenjulie - one named twice!
Borats Baby - lets all say 'nice'
Slipper-one and
Ghandi too
Theres even one here just called
who?
Jimmys ducks, weddings by
Hacker
No one would call
Arkady a slacker!
Forbidden Biker, that man
Fraggle
Both London lads who like to haggle
And lets remember
Canon Bob
Whos calibrators just the job
And
Albys tiny insect pics
Knocks David Attenborough for six
And romance has oft come here
Joe-T and
Ladybird are dear
And we've even had one good pair marry
Thats
Marianne and her man
Barry
So many more fit in with ease
Like
photo_star and
minimeeze
Some are suave and some are smooth
Like the
Tasty Male and the
King of Groove
And King of Landscapes
Les Mclean
(Hes knocking HDR again!)
And us, as togs, should all aim higher
And emulate that man
Messiah
And Friday brings us
Cobra's jokes
To raise a smile with all the folks
Hypnotic, birdy, baz777
Take pictures that were made in heaven
And some have gone who once came here
Bachs and
Catdaddy have disappeared
But plenty stay and never flit
Fracster, Ekimeno and that
Oldgit
Hillwalkinggirl she walks a lot
Steveinspain takes a good shot
Lets not forget
Galaxy66
Known for taking all sorts of pics
And if your names not on this list
Don't be down and don't be p*ssed
Cos theres way too many - don't blame me
Like
Betty, Jonnyreb and
Alib
So apologies if you're left out
Please don't moan or even shout
Theres way too many for me to remember
Otherwise I would be here til September
And
Marky_h and that
Defiance
Who make a word association alliance
And spammers taste a bitter pill
Poor
Markos count went down to nil
So thanks for reading this daft ditty
Its not too good and not too witty
But just meant to be a toast
To the forum that I love the most!
So raise your glasses in the air
And with one voice we should declare
For those who've stayed and those who've left
The bestest place is TPF
