Random Announcements

[Giles]

No idea, Paula got them for herself, I nicked one of them last night.  In retrospect I didn't need to have done it, but hey…..

Meh just go for a run, you'll soon throw up and kick it.

I proposed to my lady at the weekend (she said yes… phew) and so far have done a rubbish job of telling people, haha. Got told-off by a colleague for "being such a boy about it".

Congrats to you and your lady!

[DougNg]

That's bullshit

Not your job

I let everyone know through Jody, and those that were at a distance found out when I changed my Facebook status to "engaged"

You're not supposed to run around telling everyone. It's not dude-like

[Giles]

Many congrats….

That's what I keep telling myself. Plus, I told my flatmate and he's like a public address system given how much he runs his mouth!

Cheers Lando and Giles.

Doug on fire today. . .
@DougNg:

not dude-like

that was my thought as well, but was curious on the proper etiquette about it in this day & age.  i mean do you send an email, announcements to everyone, WTF are you "supposed" to do?

& congrats SM

[DougNg]

Yeah, congrats man

I got "officially" engaged this time last year as well. Many years of shared happiness for both of you

[Sugar Mountain]

Thanks guys.

I mulled over the group email/text and the FB status update but have more or less resolved to tell people in person when I see them for a drink or whatever. I like the personal touch.

In my office, my boss sent out an email to our entire division congratulating us. That made it easier when a third party announced it <-dude-like

[Giles]

Bollocks to that - you've just told the important people….Leave it at that.....

Well absolutely!

Congrats mate!..

[Megatron1505]

Congrats, as for etiquette of telling folks…this should be obvious. Men make all their important announcements inthe company of friends, after 10 beers.

Shit it takes a lot of time catching up on the IH forum after only 1 day of no reading

So true. Never let it get to far away from you or it becomes a very lengthy task.
