The Phantom's 1000th Postday
Heavens! Where did that come from? One minute I'm thinking about starting a little blog about Greenwich, the next thing I know I'm been blathering on for just over two years and a rather alarming 1000 posts...
I've been trying to work out what would be a good thing to do to celebrate being 1000 (or commiserate with myself for no longer having a life...) and, alongside vowing to get out more, I've decided to add a page to the blog. The pair of which may turn out to be mutually exclusive...
I often get asked where I find information about Greenwich - where to find resources, out-of-print books/maps etc. The bottom line is that it's legwork - but I thought I'd try to cut out some of that legwork for you by giving you a lowdown on what's on the Phantom Bookshelf - what's out there and where to find it. (Hint for tomorrow - take a trip to the Amnesty International Booksale that Ros has just reminded me about...)
You'll currently find the page here, but when a moment appears in The Phantom Webmaster's stupidly busy schedule (which includes celebratory dinner for me tonight, tee, hee...) there will be a direct link from the front page.
This project is going to take me months, I'm afraid. I've been working on it for some time now, and I'm only about a third of the way through the stuff I own, let alone the stuff I know about. So if you're interested in that sort of thing, keep checking it regularly - I will add to it as I go along. There are several sections, but each one is in alphabetical order by author.
But I'm not doing any more cataloguing for today. Today, I'm scoffing my 1000th Postday-Cake courtesy of Daisy Bakes, getting ready to celebrate chez Phantom Webmaster tonight - and raising a glass of Theatre of Wine champagne to all of you lovely folk who join me every day on my murky trips through this fantastic town.
Cheers!

Hear hear! I've become a regular Phantom Phan since stumbling across the site by mistake a while back. I do wonder how you find the time to post so much. I'm also very intrigued about who the Phantom actually is, and am compiling a list of clues ....
1000 already? seems like only yesterday......LOL
Many Happy Returns and I hope you typing finger/s don't get as RSI'd as mine do after a bit of keyboard work.....
3 cheers for our own Phantom.....
Hip, Hip.......
Hip, Hip.......
Hip, Hip.......
*Clapping al around*
you should be really proud. My favorite site bar none .
Congrats Phantom
Keep up the excellent work!
You're my homepage (Yo my homie on the east side) and I never cease to be amazed at how much there always is up here, day in day out.
You have made me think about, and love, Greenwich even more, and I wouldn't have thought that that was possible.
Have a good one mate, and thanks.
Delighted to raise a glass and say cheers and thrice cheers on the occasion of your 1000th post.
Here's to the next millennium of what has proved to be an admirably informative and diverse resource. A geunine focal point for the Grinnich community at home and at large.
More power to you - more power to us.
Thanks TGP for keeping Greenwich on the map!!
