Come on Patrick, I know you’re out there lurking and watching. Register now and you too can have the fun of starting ridiculous posts and catheterising the colonials.
It also means that the 2500 or so Americans currently on banana boats making their way to me for Christmas can then travel on to the world’s greatest new year party at your place. (Save me a spot in the cellar) 
Aye, come on in PMP, your (lurking) time is up!
Uhm, are we all invited to the party?
Darn, and here I thought somebody was advertising for pimps…
I guess it’s a new game called “Out the Lurker.”
OK Patrick, I’m bumping this so you can’t pretend you haven’t seen it. If you don’t register immediately you are gonna get some serious grief at tonight’s session (20 or 30 times through ‘Wallace & Gromit’ should do the trick). 
Why? Doesn’t he like cheese? Not even Wensleydale?
My son Adam, the 120 bass accordion player, has a tendency to play W&G once through, pause two seconds, and then start again. Even Patrick will feel serious stress eventually. 
Patrick, don’t make us come and get you. 
He’s here. I know his user name but I ain’t telling.
Damn, this means there’s yet another whistler on the board who’s better than I am.

Sorry folks, slight case of finger stutter. 
Man, John, we HEARD you the first time! 
So I emerge from the bushes, open my big whistly gob to shout “Boo!” and no noise comes out - what gives
Patrick
Welcome aboard and greetings from Sunny Scunny.
Slan,
D.
hi Patrick! and welcome to the board.
Thank you very much indeed
Have a pint
Here you go
Whoops, I spilt it all down my trousers
Never mind
Greetings, Patrick and welcome to the forum. 
Let me be the first to invite you to John Barter’s house for Christmas. We’re all going to be there – really – all 2000 of us. It promises to be quite the party. After all, it’s lasting for the entire Christmas week. You need to get your reservation in early though because the rooms are going fast – the O’Bans have dibs on the master bedroom and the waffle maker. I’ll see you, and everyone else, at John’s house!
Will O’Ban
Hi Patrick and welcome out of lurk mode! 
Like Will O’B I hope to see you a jbarter’s. I’ll be the one passed out on the floor behind the sofa after all the merriment. Do try and not step on me.
Best,
Paul
I, um… can’t help but wonder just how much this John fellow knows about this, um…
At any rate, welcome to Chiffy Land Patrick!
