The Millennium Approaches - 997

According to Blogger's Dashboard we are approaching the 1,000th blog post from the Beaker Folk in their current incarnation. I think it is widely known that the previous blogposts, both from this URL and the original ones from the gazsadblog, were lost in the Time Wars. Probably deleted by daleks.
And it is at times like this that one's mind is troubled. For clearly 1,000 is just a number. And yet at this time of encroaching darkness the temptation is to make the 1,000th post just that little more portentous.  We think, for example, of Hnaef's 5/6ths of a Beast post. And consider revoking his blogging rights in case he should make a long-awaited return, purely by chance, on the thousandth. Or we think of posting a "best of Beaker Folk" blog. But it seems a shame to waste the thousandth post on something so trivial. For better or worse, 1,000 posts is quite a number.
So I shall probably spend the 1,000th post in quiet shivering in the Great House, convinced that the End will come if I write it - or possibly that the act of turning over from 999 will reveal that in fact Blogger can only cope with 3 digits, and I shall crash back to number one. It's quite a thought.
