Much rejoicing is called for. One of AWAD's venerable is now a Pooh-Bah! Now that there are 4 of them , is it a quartet of Pooh-Bahs we are having? I am sure the other venerables will think of something grand to call the group.
Congratulations, wow! You have special place in that tetralogy!
Starting a thread concerning someone achieving a new title is highly frowned upon - or frowned upon from high - if you see what I mean, wordie. I'll hazard a guess that most won't approach this thread with a long stick
I hope jubilation will nonetheless prevail for WOW!!!

Thanks for the warning. I guess I have to read thoroughly the "Rules and Regulations" of the Board. Sorry!
Dear wordcrazy, thank you for your thoughtful post, and to all of you, thanks for the many PMs on my advancement into the ranks of Pooh-Bah. I will do my best to uphold the high standards and generosity of spirit established by The Original Triumvirate. Rest assured I will not neglect my duties as High Priestess Hi Dr. Bill
Well, I ain't no faux ma (hi CK and SWMBO), I be a real ma! Though I was faux-ma-ly an old hand. An' none of us Pooh Bahs have four paws, or forepaws. Four Bahs we be, four Pahs we ain't.
There. I'm in my secret complex, I've got a radio, a stick to operate the dials and everything, another radio in a place near a computer, an assistant, a stick for my assistant, and a computer (already mentioned.)

Grytpype-Thynne: Hang on, hang on, young Neddy. How long have you been with the Bank of England, young pasty-faced lad?
Seagoon: Twenty minutes sir!
Grytpype-Thynne: Ah, what a record of loyal service and devotion to duty. How would you like to work in the gold vault?
Seagoon: Gold? Gold? GOLD? ...
Or something, my memory ain't what it used to be! Anyway ... to the point of this post:
There's only one secret agent on this board, and she's been playing away from home. Any volunteers to go into the wilds of Minnesota when required to track down missing Pooh-Bahs?
I would like, belatedly, to add my congratters to the wise one for her elevation, and to ask if, now that we have four Pooh-Bahs, whether they will form a Bahber Shop Quartet?
four Pooh-Bahs, whether they will form a Bahber Shop Quartet? Sure, that sounds like a great idea! We shall meet in Wales, because that's where maverick can find us a good director, right, Sweetie? And we three US Bahs will have to learn to say bahbahshop quartet (Max will have no trouble with that one), and hopefully without sounding like a bunch of sheep! Ba-aah, ba-aah.
Pooh-Bahs, come see me in London. The London Welsh Centre is down the road from where I live, and the men's chorus sometimes wanders over to our local pub of an evening and gives an impromptu performance.

Oh My! Oh How Wonderful! In the words of the old song, "Gee, how lucky can you get?"
To quote the song: All god's creatures got a place in the choir Some sing low, some sing higher Some sing out loud on the telephone wire Some just clap their hand, paws, anything they got.
just follow the old advice-- if you can't sing well-- sing loud!
Bah, Bah, Bah...Bah, Bahbra Ann! Ohmigawd, that's perfect! Why didn't I think of that? Oh, thank you, W.O., thank you! Max, why don't you take tenor--that's a part that's hard to hear, anyway. Tsuwm, that leaves you on bass. (I can sing low, but I can't sing that low!) Wow, you take soprano or alto, and I'll take the other. All together now: "Ta-AKE my ha-a-and..."
Anything b96 could do, caradea does just as magnificently. I regret that my being retired has given me so much computer time that I have made an unseemly number of posts, an embarrassment of plurality;."Thank you" to those who have been willing to tolerate that.
We have two other members who would have achieved the title before me, except that they are still working and cannot spend as much time on the computer as I can. It is generous of them not to resent my taking unfair advantage.
