This year has been as much humbling as it's been awful, scary and just plain nasty.

This place is argumentative (I was there for Ling Wars™ man), funny, informative and heart breaking to read sometimes.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year and I can't lie, being part of this community is very much a part of that.

The 1st January isn't a magical date and we are still in the middle of a huge storm... in a leaky boat... with loads of forumites arguing how best to plug the hole.... But I'm bloody glad to be on the boat with you lot.

P.s. I'm stone cold sober as I typed that. Just about to be remedied though.😜

No it isn’t.

It ****ing is. Especially that moderator who rocks up every thread in an obstreperous manner.

I don't think you should be slagging off Drac like that. Even if he does have a working iPad.

Ooh, the last two I am definitely appropriating. If my mind/ beer meld holds.

Would that be a 5 minute argument or a full half hour? 🤔

This place is argumentative

No it isn’t.

That's just a contradiction.

Wow! I just took a look at the Ling thread.

I always had Poop down as one of the cheeriest posters on STW - what a revelation, you've changed man.

I like Ling. I always thought I'd never own a car, but I'm tempted to order

... I might want to back out though. Anyone got any advice?

Isn't Link cycling around the world right now?

Missed the original thread, but then not into cars (as we get a free company one).

I can honestly say it’s been one of the best years mod wise with a few exceptions we’ve had to do very little intervention. There wasn’t even anyone given a Christmas break.

Ling is biking round the world, she gave her business to her company staff.

I have to say that stw has been a voice of sanity over the last year, and also a damn good source of info against just the normal sources.

I'll agree with this - which shows how ****ed up this year has been! 🤣

Agreed that this place, despite the petty arguing always comes through with either info on some obscure subject or such support and generosity to anyone that needs help.

Here's to more of the same this year.

I got a car from Lings in 2015, had it 2.5 years, absolutely fantastic service.

Ah bollocks, I knew I'd forgotten something.

Right… I’m watching the Blackadder “Dictionary” episode again tonight.

Big thanks to the mods is required I feel. There are some very useful contributors, and many very supportive ones… but without the mods, they’d be completely drowned out in the noise coming through the walls from the rest of the internet. Thanks mods.

You cheeky bugger!

People have me down as the crashiest of all on the SDW!
