Well done Ben. Congratulations.

Or, should I say, "Well done Boxrec. Congratulations."

Ben is a good lad, I have forgiven him for banning me from boxing talk!

I know he forgives me for the many conversations he had with my alias 'Tunceh Tye Rac' the exchange student from Cameroon.

Tunceh Tye Rac backwards spells?????

Well done, Ben is a star!!!

Happy New Year guys and I genuinely appreciate the well wishes from all of you.

I've known Ian for years and we've always remained on good terms and enjoyed several beers together when I used to live in Sheffield. We're a similar age, similar waistline and have many little'uns rampaging around our houses

DD . Combine that with a genuine love for boxing and a mutual silver tongue and I think we'll be a good combo. It's nice to be part of an excellent team that is already in place and I'm looking forward to getting to know the rest of the lads.

Best wishes,
Ben

Only here could a guy who spelt his sign on name wrong thus becoming Lightsoot instead of Lightsout end up with an Editorial position.
Love and Best Wishes,
Kevin Pressman.

that means the boxrec news site will go down the drain just like every site went down the drain when Ben and Spud joined.

Back off Rus mate.
You're hardly a perennial poster anyway with you're 39 posts in 8 years

Spud isn't the Assistant Editor - just a toss pot poster like the rest of us.
Ben is a decent writer (said begrudgingly to a pig fan) so let's see what he delivers.
We should all adopt the Green Mile mentality and leave things in the past.

I thought of him too.

No I'm not.
I only weigh 14 stone, not 22 stone.
Some years ago on another site, I had a long exchange of banter with Ben which made out I was the Pressman you speak of, and a lot of people fell for it so we carried on for a while.
I'm devout Owl - Carey devout Blade.
I've known Ben for a long time.

The news site seems to be working well alongside, but separately from the forum. I like how John and Ian have set it up - the news site isn't really interfering with how the forum is run and that was a concern of mine when it was announced. I hope and trust this will continue.

Ian's did damn good things at BBN and it worked well when Ben was assistant editor there. So can only see this as a good move for the news site.

I feel an anti-Rhodes piece brewing

Very happy to have Ben on board - will bring some energy, skill and political nous to the site

I have written a very nice message about Ben Carey? Why on earth has it been deleted?

Here it is again - if you have a problem with the message (whichever mod is on) PM me and explain why it needs to be deleted...

I think Ben Carey is a very talented writer and is a writer who knows his subject inside out. I am looking forward to
reading his work on boxrec news in the near future. We (or I have to be sure) have all done stupid crap in the past but the thing about life is that we can start over and today is a new day - so welcome back Ben and I am looking forward to reading and debating your insights and opinions in the future.
