Don't panic.
Back in April we announced the arrival of Paully as our new temporary team member. Though he was supposed to be with us for just six weeks, we managed to keep hold of him for a while longer. We're very pleased to confirm that Paully is now a permanent member of the h2g2 team, which means that he now gets to use the key to the biscuit tin.

Oh lucky, lucky you Paully. You didn't manage to use that hacksaw blade then?
Incidently, this conversation managed to appear in a conversations list in a way I've never seen before:

Excellent news. On a serious note, I think three sounds a reasonable number for the h2g2 Team. Certainly in the days when there were six it felt like overkill.
Does this mean I'm allowed to take the mickey out of him properly now then?

If you're going to bring back people just to make fun of them, then I want Ashley back.

Does Odo know about this?
Great news Paully

Paully Posted Aug 9, 2004
Well thank you all for your lovely comments. It's nearly enough to make a grown man blub...
But then again, I've been working on h2g2 for three months now, and I know what a shower of reprobates and malcontents you all can be!
Therefore, I shall dab away the tear at the corner of my eye and crack on with the Scouts Recommendations...
Paully
(Very glad to be on board officially!)

Reprobates, are we? I suppose we'll have to live up to our reputations, then.
Seriously, I love good news on a Monday.

Are you really such a sucker for punishment man? You been here three months, and you know how insane it is.
Seriously, glad to have another permanent member of staff on board.
