Urgh and the 6000+ milestone

Congrats to Urgh , (he was jealous because someone noted my milestone and not his, so I'm repairing the offense)

Good job, Urgh, keep on posting and making jokes

You southerners crack me up!

Congats Urgh! Time to celebrate by cracking a beer with your favorite sheep.

 

We in the sweltering South salute you! (figuratively of course, gotta save the real ones for our more important members)

 

Well done, Tam!

 

Yes, a nice job Urgh.

 

Of course , if you live near Santa's home , some snow is expected.

Seriously, congrats, urqh....( less seriously - what would we do without you ? )

 

Urgh just made a thank you speech after getting a WW2 oscar

 

Congrats Urqh,

some of us still hang around in here...

One of the better choices I ever made, I think, was to join this Forums.

 

Did he just call me a Yankee? Where is my rope!

 

Urqh has a truly British outlook, ie all Americans are Yanks, foreigners (like Skipper) start at Calais ; Finland - well, he's probably never heard of Finland.....yes, all is well with the World ! In fact, I cherish a mental image of urqh as being something like Nigel Green in Zulu...

Psalm 46 - Colour Sergeant Bourne - Zulu (1964) - YouTube

Marvellous !

 

Urqh, I would like to offer the following advice regarding acceptance speeches, of which the above is a fine example.

Just to be 'snooty', I might just briefly point out what NOT to say when delivering such utterings....or for any other wards you might find yourself up for....

1/ The rest of the films were f**king awful
3/ No mentioning people by their first names. References to "Dean, and "Sammy", and "The Chairman of the Board".
4/ Don't forget your mother
5/ Your wife will be unimpressed with a lack of a mention. This could lead to a genuine lack of sexual activity for weeks on end.
6/ Never turn down an award, a'la Marlon Brando. Notice how Marlon never got another opportunity to accept an award? You, too, could be hosting a Dentists convention the next season around awards time.

 

Congrats! But I have seen shorter "thank you" speeches at the Academy Awards!

 

Who is foreign? Well everybody who has not my nationality . Who has an accent? Everybody else (I speak normal ) .
