When I saw Warren's blog post on this, I at first thought the title read, "Si Spurrier, New Whitechapel Batman." And then I realized I'd misread the last word. Now I'm just kind of disappointed that "Batman" isn't going to become a new honorific on Whitechapel...
But anyway, greetings to our new overlord and Batman. I'm very much looking forward to WISH YOU WERE HERE.
Welcome Sir! Be sure to throw in your pet peeves or rules list at some point, you know, like the NO CRYING IN WHITECHAPEL rule, and TIME MOAT whenever someone starts arguing about continuity or physics or somesuch.
I assume like any good "transitional government," many of the old guard will find themselves up against the wall, to wit I Say "viva la revolucion!" (which I believe is French for "please don't shoot me.")

Nobody wants to belong to a forum ravaged by poorly-disciplined rectal anguilliformes.
You know...I never thought I'd say this about someone training arse eels to be "better", but, er, thank you?
@Warren
I HAVE NOT LEFT YET
AND I STILL HAVE THE CONTROLS
Are you leaving forever or just stepping down in as much of an active capacity? I mean, Whitechapel just wouldn't be the same without you occasionally popping into the Vile Hugging thread to tell us how much you hate it.
(And, quite honestly and not that it matters much, I'd be terribly sad to see you go).
