Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Started conversation Jan 17, 2010
Not a QI forum - just wanted to record the fact that on The Front Page today (17.01.10) Six of the Twenty most busiest forums on h2g2 are QI threads and our front Page advert is still up. 
So our society is getting some free promotion! Well done team!! 
If there are any new arrivals out there, I'd be interested to know what brought you to QI. How did you find out we were here?

Oy! Stay out of "our" tin.
The ACEs use it to motivate ourselves (read "bribe")
Have some
