VeryPC Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Hi folks, Bear witness to some disjointed ramblings between Bobinson 01 and Mr Colin McCarthy, who will be reavealing today's winner of the personalised Socktober T-shirt and mug: https://youtu.be/dMVacysPOYw Remember, entries remain open until Thursday 29th October, so if you haven't already, drop me a PM with your name, address and email to be in with a shot of winning an i7 NUC or Liva Core mini PC and personalised T-shirt and mug. Congratulations to our winner (we'll PM you for your T-shirt sizes) and good luck for the rest of the month everyone! Al 4
LeightonJames Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Well done Winner!! Still not seen this training montage yet. What are the rules for tomorrow's conker match? Are stampsies allowed? Can you yank the strings if they get tangled up? Not played conkers for years (I'm apparently too old according to the missus) so I'm living this through both of you. Arrghhhggghghg. WIIIINNNNNNNNNN

Today's video is not available in restricted more - where's the consistency?
VeryPC Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Bah! Today's video is not available in restricted more - where's the consistency? Booo! It's as baffling to me as it is to you. I wonder if the autocaption thinks it's hearing sweary words? Just a theory.... Al
LeightonJames Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) WOW, it's sooo quiet in here at the moment. I thought I would do some comparisons and at around the same time as the last post during: last years Socktober there were 568 posts Stocktober2 there were 1224 posts the original Stocktober there were 557 posts Looks like Stocktober2 was the most popular one by far. Bring back the craziness and shenanigans or are we all just getting older and more miserable?? Come on @VeryPC @VeryPC_Colin_M @VeryPC_Ross Edited October 15, 2015 by LeightonJames 1
LeMarchand Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Looks like Stocktober2 was the most popular one by far. Bring back the craziness and shenanigans or are we all just getting older and more miserable?? More work = less time to slack off. 1
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 HA @LeightonJames! You're not wrong @LeMarchand. When you're on camera everyday customers are a little less forgiving with delays. October's got to be the best month of the year though, everyone gets socks. It's like Christmas! It's because @X-13 isn't bringing the noise that the post count is down. And there are more entrants then ever too!
StevieM Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I've got classes in here with me EVERY LESSON now (and it's driving me crazy!!). I daresn't spend too much time on the Socktober thread in case I suddenly burst out laughing at something and have to explain myself. 3
Popular Post VeryPC Posted October 15, 2015 Author Popular Post Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) For sure, we're a lot busier now than we were 2 years ago, and don't have as much time to be building giant cardboard robot costumes and sellotaping web developers to desks in James Bond parodies. The contribution stats may be down a bit, but I'm really glad to report that entrant numbers are higher than ever before (probably because we're doing more real marketing work now). As for fun and games, tomorrow is week 2 of the great #teamcolin vs #teamross challenge. The conkers will be out and swinging my friends. Oh, and we've put together a little bonus prize which will be for thread contributors only. We think it's pretty awesome and I'll reveal more details in tomorrow's video. Cheers, Al Edited October 15, 2015 by VeryPC 6
LeightonJames Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Where are these new entrants too?? We have new people winning but not posting in here and getting involved with the fun. It's all us oldies that are carrying the banner!! We need to pass on the frivolities to the new generation. For sure, we're a lot busier now than we were 2 years ago, and don't have as much time to be building giant cardboard robot costomes and sellotaping web developers to desks in James Bond parodies. Glad to hear things have picked up for you all too!!! Edited October 15, 2015 by LeightonJames

bladedanny Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 It does seem quieter in the thread this year. It's just more of an exclusive club for us threadies. 1
X-13 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 It's because @X-13 isn't bringing the noise that the post count is down. Well... I don't have a job to slack off from. Feels wrong to slack off from slacking off. Also, Dual Destinies is super good and I'm the bestest lawyer.
