As you will now know, I am no longer working on h2g2. I have decided to add some context to my leaving, just so you know that the decision to go to another team was mine.

I have been looking for a different role for sometime and about six weeks ago was offered a job outside the BBC. I had become aware that my job was making me unhappy and it was time to look for a new challenge! I didn't want to leave the BBC, so when I was offered a chance to work on the Celebrity Q&A team, I jumped at the chance. Many celebrities and experts later, I know I made the right choice.

I want to thank Natalie for being a brilliant boss, Sam for his songs, Jimster for his gorgeousness, Mina for being a star, Ashley for being his own wonderful, incomparable self and Anna for being a tower of strength.

I want to thank the Community for the contributions you have made to h2g2. I have no doubt that the project will go from strength to strength.

Love

Abi

Hi guys

I am following Ashley's lead and am going to be helping out in another team. Live Chat have decided to give me a try despite all they have heard about me from Whisky and Master B.

But don't worry! I will still be popping in regularly to do a bit of support, finalise the updating scheme and to make sure you haven't trashed the place.

Mwahhahaha! The initial stage of my plan for world domination is coming to fruition!

I am so excited - I am going racing on Saturday at 'headquarters' or Newmarket to the rest of you. (And no Master B, I know I have big front teeth but I am not competing.)

The reason is Saturday is a special day in racing terms. It is the first time in this country that a race has been restricted to grey horses. Apparently greys only races are quite common in the Southern Hemisphere, but are a new idea over here. I was so excited by this I nagged IanG into taking me along. No doubt he will be retiring to the beer tent.

Racing fans tend to have a soft spot for flying greys - Desert Orchid, One Man, Grey Shot, Call Equiname, Environment Friend and (permanent Grand National bridesmaid) dear old Suny Bay to name a few recent stars. *goes misty eyed*

Any way I am very excited about this, but it is going to look very weird in the paddock. Come to think about this the race will look amazing but very weird.

try, try again!
