Found the site while bored at work one day, searching for a decent sick joke to put on a colleague's birthday card
I stumbled on the sick jokes QOTW, and, after reading through every page, found to my delight there were a ton of other questions to read through, with plenty of anecdotes and pithy one-liners to snort quietly at. My workrate must've taken a major nosedive when I discovered this site - it no doubt fell even further when I realised there was more to the site than just QOTW. Ah, /links, you glorious timesink...

I've been a member for 4 years, 1 month and 2 days, but I know I'd definitely been lurking for at least a year before joining. One week, I noticed a question I had the perfect anecdote for, so on a whim signed up, waited until the Tuesday, then posted my story. It made it to the 'best of' page on the Thursday, and I was hooked. I spent about two years calling it 'Bee-three-tee-ay' though, before finding out what the correct pronounciation was. Now, it feels like it's always been 'Beta' to me

Haven't posted much since I started back at Uni 2 years ago - I'll still read the newsletter though, and occasionally nip on to lurk and catch up on all the QOTWs I've missed. It's comforting knowing it's still here, and that I can always return to posting QOTW stories should the degree fall through. Actually, scratch that - I can't think of anything more depressing

Now then Swifty!
All the best mate, take it easy, don't work too hard - you'll show up the others.

And please give me a kick now and then as I've been very remiss with the old writing.
