Did I see lager? Spits.

...and now we know what you look like. Good job we don't know where you live.. yet.

Well done Reg, keep up with the irreverent cynicism that identifies The Register as by far the best IT news source.
Thank you for existing.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 11:51 GMT
They really do.
But cheers to the crew anyhoo.

"...which destroyed a rather fetching snap of him downing a full bottle of Tia Maria in one hit"...

Good to see the faces behind ASCII characters so to speak!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 11:54 GMT
One can but congratulate on your continued support to the alcohol industry. Ten years is a long time for any liver! I salute you!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 11:54 GMT
…why you guys are so sarcastic! I would be too.
(goddess of alleged beauty, what else?:-)
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 11:54 GMT
Congratulations guys (And gals) on ten years!
My productivity levels at work have been low for many years thanks to your excellent website. Keep up the good work.

the inside of the Red Lion to me...or did you go to the Blue Post?
Bill - because he's provided the funniest moments of the last 10 years (I was still chuckling over Windows ME until Vista came out).

I have no idea whether it's really you, Lester, but absent proof to the contrary I shall picture you thus forever more.

Here's to another 10 years of the light-deprived ugly-bastard parade that we know and love as El Reg!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 11:56 GMT
for another ten I don't know what I would do without you.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:07 GMT
Lester doesn't exist, he's a highly advanced software robot that scours the web for stories about drunk morons killing themselves in amusing ways and tracking Paris Hilton's every movement, before publishing them in Bootnotes.
@ Sarah Bee: how you doin'?
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:34 GMT
Reg has always been on about "The Worlds Smallest Island", so more than likely it is indeed the intrepid chap himself!
Thought you could get away with holding the camera all night, eh? You should know better...
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:34 GMT
Happy Birthday El Reg, you are by far the best site of news, and not only IT. Enrich the world further with your prolonged existence :) Cheers!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:34 GMT
And here's to another 10 years as one of the bright spots of the internet.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:34 GMT
Good Lord! It all makes sense now.
Must find a therapist...
Exits, weeping.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:36 GMT
And also, I thought you'd be older, some of you are younger than me for heavens sake*, so good work on keeping up the required levels of cynicism.
*Not so pretty though.
<-- That vulture's not dead, it's just having a rest after spewing up a bottle of Tia Maria.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:36 GMT
Thanks guys and gals for the years of fun and (sometimes information).
Here's to a lot more years ahead of excellent stories and fun.
Not pictures of the BOFH himself????
(any chance of a Reg staffers meet the reg readers or would that be too scary) - I'll get my coat while I pass them on my way through the window.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:36 GMT
Yay! Keep up the good stuff!
Thanks for everything, not least the sub-titles.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:36 GMT
It's just like meeting people from IRC in real life, they're always uglier than you imagined them.
I've chosen a heart icon in a peace-pipe-smoking-pleasedontbanmefromelreg attempt.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:36 GMT
Boozing and nepotism that is.
I'm wondering what happened to the BOFH - was he stuck in the lift again?

When I saw that picture before reading the text I thought Linus had just drawn all over the painting on the wall with the pen like object in his hand and then about to proceed to start a fight.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:36 GMT
.....Bunch of lightweights - I saw AT LEAST one empty glass there, as well as lager being consumed(yuk)
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:36 GMT
Women at vulture central :I it can't be! *sigh*
The nerd is a tiresomelu predictable creature to whom the promise of boobies is like bacon to a starving wolf!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:38 GMT
Happy Birthday &c. Here's to another 10. I'll drink to that. Will be starting just as soon as I post this.
Good to put faces to names. Although I'm sure Andrew Orlowski has aked me for spare change on more than one occasion?
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:38 GMT
.. Register figurehead, Paris was in London this week?
Don't tell me she's gone camera-shy too! Bet she can sink a pint or two, though... do tell!
Very happy birthday, anyway :)
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:41 GMT
A "WANTED" sign would be well in place on some of those pics!
Just joking, congratulations guys and girls and keep up the good work!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:42 GMT
Where's the photo of the 10,000 chain smoking monkeys, chained to their keyboards? The ones who really write the stories, while the Reg hacks spend the day at the pub?
The monkeys deserve some credit too.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:47 GMT
Just wanted to pass on a happy birthday, 10 years for you makes it even longer since TW2 bit the dust. Depressing even if I did start there after they built an early version of the register. Feeling old now, off back to my pit.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:55 GMT
There's no pic of Lester as he's the real 'amanfromMars' ;-)
Congratulations to all at Vulture Central for many chuckles and entertaining reads over the last 10 years!
Cheers from all at http://breden.org.uk

Dear Santa,
Please please please can I work for a company that has a job titled 'scourge of comments f**ktards and other gobby riff-raff'.
I have to admit, if I was ever asked to envisage a bunch of outcasts from the Scary Devil Monastary, I think this would be fairly close.
Happy Birthday El Reg :D
The Vulture icon? He's not dead, he's pining! Or hungover. Or both. Beautiful plumage, though...
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:55 GMT
Apologies for previous expression of shock. I'd had a sudden vision of the people I rely on for timely and accurate IT news meeting under a bridge on a rainy night and seeking solace in the dregs and vapours from bottles left by those more fortunate than themselves... and which one of you found the rusty, discarded laptop on which you founded the Reg?
Here's to another 10 years!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:55 GMT
Happy birthday El-Reg! now... how about letting me have Danielle's number??
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 12:55 GMT
of the old saying: if you don't have a face for TV, try radio, if you don't have the voice for radio, try print journalism. An uglier group I've never seen! Happy Birthday
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 13:04 GMT
Like the euphemism. Seems to have slipped past everyone else... here's hoping she can keep you in snides for another ten years.
Mine's the one with "I hate granny-stabbing, bin-dipping, scouse bastards and Tarby is a twat" on it, ta muchly!
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 13:04 GMT
...in the last picture. Respect diminished unless we can all be convinced it's pure gin/vodka/peach schnapps.
When your livers fail, give me a call and I'll stop drinking.
Posted Friday 18th April 2008 13:11 GMT
wearing crap t-shirts/leather jackets/cheap jeans/filthy trainers talking about how drunk they get and how they could run microsoft better, then driving home in their audi tt's after half a wacky-named-stout!
wow, you're sooo crazy..and smug...and overpaid...and not zdnet.
left at 8pm for a pizza then home for 8.30 in case your mother locked the door did you boys?
-love you dooshbags though...

Ashlee's a bloke! I'm sure of it.
