Ah you see I went from Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday to just a Wednesday or Thursday. Then all the time doing the website and the years of weekends etc looking for the thing so to coin your phrase I was there well before the gun went offRichie wrote:You have got my grey matter going now.......
boat came up 2001 ? Think Mike became full time project involved early 2009... call it January for sake of ease....I arrived November that year.
had you attended every Saturday 2001 - 2009 and put in 8.5 hours (like we do now....minimum)...roughly speaking (and i mean rough)
think we are around the 3978 hour mark.... give or take.
we know Mike attended before 09 but will write that off for ease. he has done about 3094 hours.....
but that's just Saturdays, if you then factor the other two days he spends at shop you need to add a further 3640 hours onto his count.....then you need to factor the countless hours he has spent researching at home.......its building...
its all neither here nor there as both of you guys have most likely done less than Bill and John who were there constantly from the gun going off.
now perhaps folk need to take heed how much hours have been quoted.... that's for just two people involved..... granted those figures are very fast maths and hold little accuracy..
if you were to put a minimum wage to those figures, i would shudder to think the cost !

Well l'm going to shamelessly claim the title for most hours worked, that's just how it is, but everyone brings something to the party. The team is just incredible, best l ever was privileged to work with bar-none.

Re: Technical Talk
Yes it is now . Back then the diaries were a bit more frequent and all hard coded none of this copy and paste stuff would take a good few hours of coding to get them up. Not like the current site where I can sort it in under a hour depending on how picture heavy they are.Mike Bull wrote:Doing the website? Two diaries a year!
As Ritchie says it matters not one iota we all play our part

Can't argue with either statements, even if you are all P taking bar stewards wouldn't change it for anythingRenegadenemo wrote:Well l'm going to shamelessly claim the title for most hours worked, that's just how it is, but everyone brings something to the party.

Re: Technical Talk
That's exactly what l thought and at first l said no, l wasn't getting out of bed, especially as they asked if l could start the engine for them live on the radio! Almost as bad as last night's call from a journalist asking about the 'Bluebell Replica'. But l've been doing this long enough to know that news moves so fast and is so transient that no one in the trade has time to take it in so my alarm is set and l'll be hopeless..
7:20?! Who listens to the radio on a Sunday at 7:20? You'll be talking to yourself!

Re: Technical Talk
I don't think it's one of those things where people can phone in as they only want me for about 15 mins but that would be the funniest thing ever if you lot could phone in and we could wind up the whole of the UK with our stupid banter... Great idea.

well as ive been awake since 4.30 it would be rude not to have a listenRenegadenemo wrote:And I'm on Radio 5 Live in the morning at about 07:20. Should be a unique experience - I had no idea there was such a time on a Sunday! Back to bed after that, I reckon.
