The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
Ladies and gentleman please bear witness to my 100th post on this board.
Its times like these when you look back and review your accomplishments and I have to say that retirement from the board is on my mind - unless I receive adulation and comments to the contrary - hint hint hint
Now LETS ROCK!!!!!

Congratulations on achieving an important milestone in your Bored Board development. When a member of the JDBB reaches that all-important 100th post, he or she truly becomes a part of the Jammie Family - comes of age, if you will. There is, of course a small ceremony that you must now participate in, involving a goat, three Jamaica Ginger Cakes and the Botanical Gardens in Belfast (you'll need to ask Joe about the specifics - it's his goat). Once you have undergone the trials there, you will be accepted as a Brother (or Sister - your preference) of the Order of the Dodger that is Jammie.
That said, it is truly magnificent to have you here. Your singular wit (by which I mean the one solitary funny comment that you have made in your 100 (and two?) post tenure ) has been invaluable to the phenomenal success of the Jammie Dodger Bored Board. We couldn't have done it without you. At all. You are the foundation, nay the cornerstone of our group. May you continue to leave us in abject awe of your fabulousnessness for many posts to come!
If you retired we'd have to have a Stead vigil. And since by definition you wouldn't be coming back, we'd be envigiling indefinetly. Please don't inflict that on us!!!
I like your drum kit picture - I think it's good to keep a picture of what you're aiming for! It keeps you going - see, there is a reason for hard work!!
Every year Darren buys me a Proms guide. Every year I look through it and pick all the concerts I really really really want to go to. Every year I work out the cost of the train/coach to London & an overnight stay in a hotel + the tickets. Every year I realise I still can't afford it. I get depressed for a few days, then I write all the concerts that'll be on TV in my diary and I watch them at home with the sound up loud!!
This year there's 2 concerts one on Friday 16th July, the other on Sat 17th July. When the moolah spend required got to £250 (without food or tube tickets), I realised we could go on holiday for a week for that amount - we're not going on holiday this year because we can't afford it and therefore, we can't afford to go to the Proms. Bum.
