If only you had a Uin your name, you could have been one of us, I'm disappointed it wasn't an Aussie, Every time one of us gets promoted, they shout the bar.

Means a bloke has to buy his own drink.

Good on ya mate, you may have bitten of more than you can chew, so chew like mad.

By the way, it's your shout mate.

much thanks to everyone here.

now anyone who didn't give me a congratulations or warning, it's time to face a permanent ban.

Dark side Astralis

Congratulations ! Astralis, Aug 1st is a total solar eclipse day,you entered the dark side a few days earlier of the eclipse, hope it will bring profound enthusiasm. Although its a difficult task to be moderator, your uncanny ability to bring world views of important events is a welcome sign. Take care.
