Lets see...SoCalli V8 Darren is our token Londoner here at ASV.com...Bigmac is also from London. Damn, if he's a Cockney it'll soon happen that he and Darren will get to posting in a language that us mere colonists won't be able to understand. But wait, I see that JoeAstroMatt is from Manchester--hey, he'll be able to translate for us what Darren and Bigmac are saying. This will be especially good for Lockdoc Bill as he's from the hills of Pennsylvania and his brand of English consists mostly of clicks, guttural grunts and odd gestures. The day is saved!
Oh, wait a minute, JoeAstroMatt has his own English dialect being from Manchester and everything...don't know that he'll be able to help after all.
Okay, let me think about this a bit.
Okay, okay...Now I've got it--were all doomed!

Just kidding, guys. Welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy the place. \:D/

What did I tell guys? See? It's happening already--I can't make sense out of what Clive wrote.
This is just the beginning, I'm tellin' ya!

I also note with interest that Sundanceuk has just come on board, too, sportin' a van that's more Texan than one owned by any Texan I've ever met. Am I the only one who sees that he's in stealth mode? Huh, am I?

Yes, it's a conspiracy, of that I am sure. But who could the ringleader be, the mastermind? Could it possibly be one of our own? No, you say? Don't be so sure!
Well, I can slip into stealth mode, too, and I went to the UK Astro site and did some quiet looking around. I just happened to come across a list of recent board users, which I pasted below. Read on if you are stout of heart, O Astro Safari Van Drivers of the Western Hemisphere and be prepared for a shock!

>Active Users: There are 6 members and 12 guests.
>Most users ever online was 1080 at 4/1/2008 12:03:02.
>Astroshepawd, UKAstroExplorer, sundanceuk, SoCalli V8, astrovanmanuk, astromaddox

Check out that fourth name on the last line. Look familiar? Huh? Does it? You bet it does!
Yes, we've found the ringleader and it's none other than Darren!

So, what to do. I figure all of us should go to their Astro site and register! Hey, this site began as a backup board, didn't it? And now there's nothing to backup. So I say we back back them up! Who's with me?

Heehee, couldn't resist, folks. I'm having fun with this. :D
