Following discussions with Crusty, it was decided to appoint a new moderator. We drew up a shortlist and from that took the difficult decision in choosing from it. In the end and following his acceptance, Rolo is now a moderator on here. God help us all!

Off the booze? I forgot about that.
Is this really the right time to increase Rolo's stress levels?
Should this decision not have waited until Rolo is restored to normality? (well in his case what passes for normality!!)

Does this mean that from now on we all must "bow to King Rolo"

Congrats Rolo (better keep on yer good side or I'll be barred )

BB, It means he can bar us form the site! So we'll have to stop bitching about him .
p.s. Is it just me, but since this morning I've had loads of timeouts on the site and it seems to be real slow. Not that I'm trying to blame Rolo or anything

If you are wondering about what a moderator does how about coming up with an expmnation of what a best boy does in movie prodcutions or a dolly grip.

Congratulations on the elevation to 'god mode' Rolo! 
Is there any truth in the rumour that, as a pre-requisite, the person 'promoted' must own (or have once owned) a pair of black and red striped trousers??

Not a lot really Mins. Just tries his best to help the wonderful Admin. people to ensure that nothing untoward occurs on the forum.
Also likes to pretend that he has far more power and influence than he actually possesses in an attempt to prevent the regulars becoming too bolshie.

If you've noticed, the viagra, gay porn, penis enlargement and ass-slut spam
HAS reduced, it's because he's busy moderating the site. He's no time to be
sending such filth anymore!
Just kiddin Rolo, welcome on board and thanks for accepting the task laid
out before you. Much appreciated by one and all. No better man!

Sorry Andy, just can't be having this kind of language and filthy content on our family friendly forum.
It's a yellow card for ya, I'm afraid.
Lads, just going to use some of my new found powers to tidy things up a bit. Gonna move some old topics from " Sticky " status to " Normal " status so they no longer appear at the top of Forums etc.
Hope that's OK, don't want to tread on any toes, so tell me to feck off if yiz want to.

Thanks lads, although don't think any congrats are deserved. It's the regular posters that keep thing going and ensure that it's as much fun as it is for us all.
All of the praise should go to Killian for his efforts and techie expertise.
Oh and BTW Taylor, who is Carolina ? When did she go to the Grove ?

Hi Rolo,
'Carolina' was is a beautiful girl called Irene who groved 77-79ish. Enjoyed dancing with her during the slow sets to James Taylor's 'Carolina on my mind' among others of Cecil's favourites at that time. She went on to become a primary school teacher in North Dublin. Haven't seen her in 25 years. Hence the username - fond Grove memories!
