The Count has suggested that despite the disappearance of the card I sent from some of us to Castelldefells for a certain Mr Dee, maybe we should try again by sending one to Jamie.

(Lest anyone thinks we're going as soft as AM.com here and are going to start sending group cards at the drop of a hat, I'm envisaging us limiting this kind of thing to GB players who are particularly popular on here and who may be about to break obscure world records or are recovering from life-threatening illnesses, so I very much hope that won't mean too often! )

Since we started pm'ing about this, there has been a clamour on AM.com for them to do something like this too, and the Count rashly let on that we had already been thinking of doing the same.

It would probably be nicer if he gets separate ones from each site, even if they end up in the same envelope, so I've agreed to try to get ours done and find out exactly where to send it (which won't be hard, but I want to do it after the cards are sorted out so that he doesn't have time to move on to somewhere else in the meantime!), while thanks to his rashness and similar spelling standard to some of the AM.com kids, the poor old Count has drawn the short straw of being appointed to organise the other rabble by the omnipotent (if very sweet) Sally on AM.com. (sorry Count! )

(I'm not sure whether I'm going to get in more trouble when the Count reads this or when some of the AM.commers do )

Anyway, if you'd like to be a part of this, please post on here or pm me to let me know if you would like me to add you to the card, and also let me know your real name (if you want me to put that on there and it's not obviouis from your nickname) and a short message. The last two things there are entirely optional, but for each person, I'll write on the card that it is from BT.net and, for each person, any or all of:

"Get well soon, mate

David [+/- Cox] (sheddie)"

I'll see how it goes and how many people want to use real names and/or add messages before deciding exactly how to lay out the card. Also, if all messages are virtually the same, I'll pick the best-phrased one and use it for the whole card instead.

Deadline: Sunday, I think, then we can sort it all out over the bank holiday.
