I think its time to congratulate Annie (in advance, of course) for undue prescience!

This bet has 'cert' written right through it.  As Bill Blunt once said, "Its a brave man who accuses Bill Blunt of second guessing the future, but when it comes to predicting the advent of Rootschat's 20,000th member, few would bet against Liverpool Annie's prediction".

I think Annie should be assigned as mentor to whoever is lucky enough to walk through the door of 'Hotel Roots' tomorrow... :)

cheers


Paul

Sorry Bee!

I'm not usually a very good Bettor -
when I go to the dogs I usually bet on the last one to pee - thats the one that runs faster!!! :P :P
Couldn't do that in this case case though - so I took a pen and stuck it in the calendar!! :P

Pretty good huh?  ::)

sticking a pin in it is probably the best way, I was lazy, I just chose my birthday and approx birth time.

the only other time I bet (not with money) is watching horse racing on the telly, if the horse is a grey......I chose it. :)

This is getting so exciting ;D

Just to think that the unsuspecting person is out there right now 8)

How will we know who they are?

I bet I'm not logged on when it happens :(

Never mind - just hope that they don't get alarmed by all the attention they are bound to get :) :)

PS: well done Annie - if I had seen the string earlier I would have guessed 15/8 - so shows it's best not to ask me for any betting tips - but then I'm a good girl me, so I obviously know nothing about betting :-[ ;D

As an absolutely brand new member I couldn't help read through this thread,
Damn, missed 20000 by [] "that much"! turned out Member # 19973.

Needless to say the first thread (this one) I've read has been very entertaining! Since its SOOO close to the mark I will not venture a guess, but I'm going to keep my eye on it just to find out who it'll be! Besides, I have a lot of time invested in this thread now... can't just leave it until its finished!

With that said, I'll say a big "Howdy" to all and look forward to getting to know you all better, from what I've read so far, It appears this'll be an "Interesting" board to get to know :D!

Cheers!
