Best Member Performance At An APAT Event
Mary Martin. The Live Update at the Gala Maybury was 19 pages long. It had survived the pies. It had survived the updater rushing to the front of the queue, failing and thus queue-barging towards an enormous plate of sandwiches, successfully. From the corner of my eye I spotted said member on a white mobile phone perusing the update. Hours of my life lovingly invested in purple prose and flirting with Players wives.
I refreshed the page "The page you are looking for is not available. Thread has been deleted" I prepared my excuses to MeinFuhrer Duffy. His dreams of exponential increases in forum traffic lay in tatters, at the tips of my fat fingers so I thought. Sweat beading my brow I looked for a work around, and discovered the fatal words "Thread deleted by Moderator xxMairxx" Half relieved it was not me, I sauntered over the the far table and and enquired gently of said member, in lilting dulcet tones betraying no hint of my frustration,
"What the f%%% have you done? Nineteen bloody pages up in smoke"
Said member was very apologetic, and of course it was a genuine mistake.
It is nevertheless, a travesty that said performance is not available to be voted on in the 2009 awards.
