Are we all reading the same book?

I saw it in the a preview of an eBook about one of Claptons guitars I stumbled upon in some strange eBook app I got to open a file I found online… Doubt you’re reading that one!

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

Can buy Joe love!

…you go back to the first page of this thread to reminisce “for a few minutes” and then see this at the top of your screen:

You and the BB have memories

Hopefully NOT longer than the road ahead.

When you decide that for post 1500, you reminisce your first post:

1. …you graciously accept your best friend’s Abbey Road T-shirt (even though you know it’s second-hand, old and not-that-pleasant-smelling!)

2. …You sing “Rule Britannia”  while in the bath!

3. …You call yourself “thisbirdhasflown” even though your favorite Beatles song is not “Norwegian Wood

4. … you get extremely angry when you realize that no one in your music classroom knows all four names of the Beatles.

5. …people ask you about the Queen of England, and you tell them “Her Majesty‘s a nice girl, but she doesn’t have a lot to say!”

6. …you buy all of the collections and greatest hits albums “just because”!

7. …you realize that the Sgt. Pepper‘s album your friend gave you was the soundtrack for the movie, and you hunt him down.

8. …when your parents ask,”Where do you wanna go to vacation for summer?” and you tell them “Every summer, we can rent a cottage in the Isle Of Wight, if it’s not too dear.”

Need I say more?

P.S. The Paulrus was Wal! a-hard-days-night-john-6

And you acknowledge the fact that @Starr Shine? was the first to greet you on the forum.

Actually, when I began reading your sentence, I said “Happiness is a nice thread“. Now, that is a hard core Beatles Bibler for you.

@StrawberryFieldsForever, I just thought of this. If I had been thinking in mod-mode, I could have offered to move your post to

You know you are a hardcore Beatles fan when…

Oh, well, it’s o.k. This turned into a fun exchange.

Well, Wikipedia fought very hard for that top spot, and it won’t budge, no matter what.

…you have recorded 10,000 posts. @meanmistermustard , for the past 3 1/2 years this Forum has been a much better place because of you. Thank you for that.

I hope you enjoy this token of my esteem. It is sung to the tune of Good Morning Good Morning . Cue the rooster.

Ten thousand, ten thousand,

Ten thousand, ten thousand,

Ten thousand posts!

 

meanmistermustard is a Fab Forum linchpin.

Where does he find the time to post? Makes your head spin.

Posting for you, he drinks IRN-BRU.

He’s got a lot to say and he’s OK.

 

Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand posts!

 

When there are cheap give-aways from the Apple clowns,

He makes me snort with his retorts and his meltdowns:

 

“I don’t need a bloody Beatles pencil!”

“Or a stupid cardboard Beatles stencil!”

“Everyone at Apple is a flake!”

“Where the Hell are all of the outtakes?”

 

He knows a lot about the Lads from Liverpool.

Don’t try to put one past him, he’s nobody’s fool.

Sometimes deranged, he is not lame.

He’s got a lot to say and he’s OK.

 

Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand posts!

 

He is Scotland’s own, of that he’s proud.

Loves his peace and quiet, hates a crowd.

Loves to take his walks, avoids the strife,

Drinks Tetley tea, what a great life.  

 

Now it’s my time to tell him I’m glad that he’s here.

He’s a great Moderator, I’m proud I’m his peer.

Hope he can score ten thousand more!

He’s got a lot to say and he’s OK.

 

Ten thousand, ten thousand posts!

Ten thousand, ten thousand posts!

Ten thousand, ten thousand posts!

Etc…

Uhhh Zig. That’s amazing. I’m incredibly flattered and moved. Thank you for taking the time to write that.heart

Its been a fabulous time being here, i’ve loved [almost] every minute of it and met some incredible people (“some have gone and some remain”). Thanks to all who have posted here who have made it so much fun (way too many to mention), its one of the very few places online i know of that operates within the parameters of respecting each other’s points of views, despite not always agreeing, and being considerate and polite to other posters, and folk battling to ensure that those remains a core factor. Long may it continue and the site grow (the forum is only one part of the Beatles Bibles).heart

Congrats MMM!!

Not gonna try to rival Zig’s parody genius (would’ve laughed out loud but I’m in public and restrained myself), but this just popped into my mind:

(To the tune of his name)
Meanmistermustard posts on this site,
Near every day and night.
Talk about those Apple fiends,
He’ll shout out something almost obscene,
The most prolific poster that we have seen.
He’s a really great guy!

Look forward to many many more posts from you MMM. Glad there are great people like you on the forum!
