The big 5000 post count!

[#1]

It's the big 5000 post count since I've joined the social media team last May 2017.

Thought I'd share something special:

[#2]

Congrats @Gandalf. Checking the statistics I can see that you average on 21 posts per day and the number 1 most active user in terms of post frequency

Also, for posterity:

[#3]

Well done.

[#4]

Well done @Gandalf.  How many of those were in the middle of the night or when you were on holiday!?!

[#5]

Congrats.. you’ll be catching me up soon

[#6]

Pardon

For those with long memories - it is a good job I changed my avatar (as used on the previous website) otherwise confusion could have arisen

Oh wow. Number 1. I like that.

Well done @Gandalf.  How many of those were in the middle of the night or when you were on holiday!?!

Far too many... 

Congrats.. you’ll be catching me up soon 

Challenge accepted.

From my calculations you average on 144 posts per month or 5 posts per day.

Pardon 

And Oldjim at 304 posts per month or 10 posts per day.

If I keep up my post count, I'll catch up to you both eventually.

And when that day comes, I might have to post a photo of myself here celebrating.

Looking at those stats @Gandalf you need a job!

[#9]

Well congrats to @Gandalf and also to @Mook to who I can see has also just past the 5k milestone too 

I do have someone on here in mind who has reached the tens of thousands mark but I won't be naughty and name names.

Looking at those stats @Gandalf you need a job!

I do have a lot of free time. But two more working days left till my annual leave for 26 days begins.

Steps will be put in place to make sure I'm not on here until my return.

[#11]

26 days? Are you going on a quest?

[#12]

Some might call it a quest. Or a mission. Or a thing. To locate the source of the internet (Gotta find where it came from).

Off to Sydney for a few days then journeying down and across New Zealand in a camper-van.

[#13]

That sounds awesome!

@Gandalf

Well enjoy, I went to Sydney (in 2005) and I have to say it was my best holiday I've ever had.

Places we went to which I recommend is Bondi and Manly beach. Also if you don't want to drive pick up what they call a Daytripper ticket. It is the same thing as a One Day Travelcard in London, and I assume most big cities have them now. Just a case of unlimited travel for the day with certain zones.

Taronga Zoo too, you need to jump a 15 minute boat journey (with your Daytripper) to get there, which is quite cool.

No point in mentioning Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House (oops I just did) and that will be a given for any tourist. If you're really adventerous you can climb the bridge. I didn't as that is a bit of out my league. 

Oh another thing I'd recommend is picking up a local PAYG SIM there, so cheap. Got one from the airport when I landed. They wanted ID, so of course that's your passport which I had on me. $30 for a SIM with $30 of credit. I called my sister from the local SIM to a UK mobile. For a 10 minute call, and with the exchange rate what it was then it cost something like £3.50! Nice can't complain with that call charge.

If your mobile isn't unlocked, I'd made arrangements to get it done now while you've got time and then you have the local SIM option.
