1,000 not out!

It is with great pleasure and not a little surprise that I find myself typing this - my Thousandth blog post!
Though the blog was started in 2008, it was late 2009 before it really got going.  Here are a few boring statistics for you:

172 Followers

8,374 Comments to date

359,180 Pageviews to date, including 11,170 during the last month.

129 The number of other blogs I follow.

Based on the past week's pageviews, the audience is located as follows:
United Kingdom 807
United States 741
Russia 150
Germany 105
France 58
Australia 42
New Zealand 32
Canada 29
Poland 25
Italy 24

Given all this it looks as if I'd better carry on!  My thanks as always to all readers, especially those of you who take the time to leave comments - they are much appreciated.

The coming weeks will see a couple of game announcements, the start of a new series of 'themed' posts and a competition with actual prizes!

    Well done Tim. Keep calm and carry on.

    Re the competitions, I do hope it's not to be Bingo!!! That would be very tabloid. Having said that, uniformed ladies on page three might work.

    All the best,
    Steve.

    I go along with the others. Having achieved such success it would scarcely do to stop now, if you were really thinking such thoughts! Besides, this is one of my favorite stopping places...

    A 1000 posts is nothing to sneeze at Tim.

    Well done on producing such good quality reads and effecting bodges on a scale that begs belief.

    All this and mass gaming as well!

    Model on man.

    Splendid work, keep it up.

    Had I been near an internet access point this past week you would have had a connection from Kenya, too.
