Kudos to Andy Pope

Andy and I both provided help to HR157 with an issue earlier today. I decided to check out Andy's web site and found it both informative and entertaining. I have it bookmarked for future use.

The kicker that had the office freaked out was his mindreader.xls

I accepted his offer and tried to figure it out without looking at the code (not that reading the code would have helped me... still a code newbie at best). It took a bit but I was able to get it!

Anyway, it's well worth a look and the effort to figure it out. NO CHEATING!

Thanks Andy.

And here I was, believing that Andy really could read minds ...

He can - he always seems to know I'd like another pint.

Old math trick or not, I still think it's a slick A Excel trick. I'll raise a pint for him.

Isn't that just 'cos he knows you're an old drunkard?

:blush: thanks guys.

Quite possibly. Shouldn't you be at home looking after the missus??

I'm getting a bit bored waiting for things to happen!

I'll be administering a Vindaloo on Saturday if the baby hasn't arrived by then!

Another one! You'll have a football team soon.

Dom

Yeah

A friend of mine did comment that we almost have enough kids to start our own village!

if its the ninth you'll have to name it Andy

Richard,
I've just noticed (eyesight is not what it was at my age) that you have both "Microsoft MVP - Excel" and the MVP logo in your sig. I know you're proud and all, but isn't that a bit of overkill?

Pretty sure he'll have the shirt on as well

And probably the badge, with the paperweight prominent on his desk.

...and writing notes at the moment with one of the MVP pens too!

Some people just let their expertise in their posts do the talking - I tried that once but it didn't work out

...on an MVP post-it note?

Maybe he's checking if the label in his pants (trousers... for you guys) has an MVP tag....

Did you find it Richard?

This is beginning to resemble an MrExcel Lounge thread... where things get out of topic real quick

Maybe because Richard and Romperstomper and Domski got involved?

I'm trying not to think of what MVP would stand for in a trouser label...

ROFLMAO.

You go, Richard. If I were an MVP, I'd get a nice subtle tattoo, like on my forehead. And get an MVP license plate. And smoke MVP cigarettes. But nothing ostentatious.

Any progress on this?

I am sure somebody told me that you were an MVP

Hmm, he's got a kid on the way - would you say 'MVP' was more of a boy's or girl's name?

Meus Virilis Pater?

Either that or the milkman is

We are 80% sure it's going to be a girl and the name we've chosen for her is Summer Isobel Erin Schollar.

A lot better than what my parents wanted to call me - Andrew Richard Schollar (until they realised what the intials spelled!)

Better a 'D i c k' than an ARS?

Don't you believe it! It took him an hour and 14 minutes to think that one up!!!

Well, I really meant quick as in good come backs.

What's the correct English term for "I also have this question"? -- Seconded? (That's more like supporting a suggestion, innit?)

And curious to see shg's tattoo first hand soon in Bellevue... if he shows up, that is.

As far as my luck goes (adding Murphy's law into the equation), I probably won't see either of you there, alas, although it definitely would be ***THE HIGHLIGHT*** in a week that will be the time of my life.

Definitely won't see me. Can't speak for Shg.

He wasn't at the time. That mistake has been rectified now.

Woops, I didn't even notice the date on that post.
