ted, our blogging hero
This is Ted.
Ted is in charge of our blog. When we came up with the idea for the AGM, Ted said that we should blog about it, lots. So he did. In the last few weeks Ted has made sure that we wrote no less than 42 blog posts and 293 Twitters about the AGM. On the actual day Ted was glued to his laptop, twittering and blogging for everyone that couldn't be there in person.
Here are three things that you probably didn't know about Ted:
-Today Ted is wearing purple and green stripy socks
-He was born in Haverfordwest, in Wales
-Ted isn't actually his real name
So we'd like to say thanks to Ted. The AGM wouldn't have happened without him.
p.s A case of smoothies will go to the person who can guess Ted's real name. You've got until Friday 2nd May at 9am to post your answers as comments, and then Ted will draw all the correct answers out of a hat.
Something welsh like Gryff

(All hail, 'giver of thoughtful advice'.)

Posted by: kim thackeray | April 29, 2008 at 06:54 PM
I have no idea why, but the name "Simon" just suddenly came to me when I was looking at his photo.
Maybe it's the beard.
Posted by: Harriet Day | April 29, 2008 at 06:56 PM
Edward. He MUST be an Edward. HE MUST.
Posted by: Sam Holly | April 29, 2008 at 07:06 PM
Clue: nobody has got it yet.
Posted by: dan at innocent | April 29, 2008 at 08:05 PM
He didn't have one. That's why he had to choose one...
Posted by: Ben Bowen | April 29, 2008 at 08:22 PM
Umm Paul?
Posted by: Ben Bowen | April 29, 2008 at 08:23 PM
Or Robert?
Or Thomas?
Or Edward?
Or Keith?
Or Sam?
Or David?
Or Ben?
Or Stephen?
Or Adam?
Or Phil?
Or Edmund?
Or Allan?
Or Ken (Kenneth)?
Or Brian?
Or Andrew?
That's enough for now!
Posted by: Ben Bowen | April 29, 2008 at 08:26 PM
Trevor...?
Posted by: Sandra | April 29, 2008 at 08:28 PM
ooo, Rhys that's a welsh name.
Posted by: Ben Bowen | April 29, 2008 at 08:45 PM
Daveth or Gareth?
Posted by: Megan | April 29, 2008 at 08:48 PM
He's definitely Quentin Rufus Horatio XXXX (where XXXX is replaced by his surname)
Posted by: Sarah Wolf | April 29, 2008 at 08:50 PM
Ooh. how about Leslie/Lesley or Ashley and he changed it because he thought it sounded too girly? Hence why he also has a very manly beard - trying to put extra distance between him and the truth...
Posted by: Victoria | April 29, 2008 at 09:36 PM
Edward!!! It must be. And what a nice name it is!
Posted by: Paul Joseph Winter | April 29, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Or his name could be Bear.
Teddy-Bear.
But he only uses Ted now cos he just got too many invites to go down to the woods.
Posted by: Paul Joseph Winter | April 29, 2008 at 10:56 PM
chris?
Posted by: Debbie | April 29, 2008 at 10:59 PM

Posted by: elaine black | April 30, 2008 at 09:42 AM
Ivor?
Posted by: Lucy | April 30, 2008 at 10:23 AM
We're thinking along the lines of Esteban or Eduardo, its's a bit out there for a Welsh man but hey, we're all for multiculturalism :D
Smoothies on the way yeah? :D
Posted by: Ravers | April 30, 2008 at 01:22 PM
I know: SuperTed! :oD
Posted by: Catherine | April 30, 2008 at 02:20 PM
I'm also on the same lines as Ben above, he looks like a Robert.
Nice guy too!
Posted by: Darragh | April 30, 2008 at 02:45 PM
Barry? Daffyd? Owen? Edwin?
Posted by: Alia | April 30, 2008 at 02:56 PM
Kevin (:
Posted by: rachel | April 30, 2008 at 03:25 PM
I think he looks like a James, manly James!
Posted by: Missem | April 30, 2008 at 03:36 PM
Or Bryn but thats purely because he sports a beard!
Posted by: Missem | April 30, 2008 at 03:39 PM
Geoff or Jeff. Hopefully the former, I'd have more respect for him then.
Posted by: John Lillie | April 30, 2008 at 04:50 PM
Could it be wayne?? That would explain the Ted..
Posted by: Nicky | April 30, 2008 at 05:34 PM
Nicholas or Emmet?
Posted by: Hannah | April 30, 2008 at 05:39 PM
I'll go for a gorgeous name - like Aldous, or ADONIS (he could wing that name, not many blokes can...) Francesco, maybe?Or Benjamin???
I WANT TO KNOW!!! I bet it's lovely, though... he is!
Posted by: Angelika | April 30, 2008 at 05:41 PM
Spinning off on a tangent here...Giles?
Or Corryn?
Of course, one cannot forget that Ted's real name could most certainly be Tedmund or Theodore.
Okay, one last go...
Douglas?
Ha, you are no match for my telepathic powers, oh mysterious Ted.
Posted by: Holly | April 30, 2008 at 07:09 PM
Edward
Posted by: jodie | April 30, 2008 at 08:25 PM
Ted, short for.... Bob
Posted by: Sarah D | May 01, 2008 at 02:37 PM
Er ... I'm not at all sure that I know.
It's not George, is it?
Posted by: Kim Kaze | May 01, 2008 at 06:26 PM
Last minute entry while I pretend to be writing essays...my money is on daniel, or perhaps lesley, or howard?
Posted by: Big Ro | May 02, 2008 at 01:22 AM
A very last minute clue for anyone good with the powers of elimination:
Only two people have guessed my correct name so far.
Ted
Posted by: ted at innocent | May 02, 2008 at 08:57 AM
Lesley then...
Posted by: Sandra | May 02, 2008 at 09:51 AM
Oh wow - I really hope so! I'm so poor free smoothies would go down an absolute treat.
And I think Lesley is a lovely name and not at all girly. Not a fan of 'Les' though :o)
Posted by: Victoria | May 02, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Theodore or Edward, Tedrick Theodoric, Tedman............
maybe Tadd, Tudor or Timotheus....hmmmm
Posted by: Petunia | May 02, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Lesley or Robert?
Posted by: Saima | May 02, 2008 at 12:37 PM
And the lucky winner is... Ben Bowen.
The answer is Robert.
Well done Ben. We'll be in contact.
hannah at innocent
Posted by: hannah at innocent | May 02, 2008 at 01:48 PM
Well done Ben! :)
Posted by: Darragh | May 06, 2008 at 04:33 PM
Robert doesn't sound very Welsh.
Posted by: Mike | May 06, 2008 at 05:44 PM
So what is his name then? You didn't tell us and I feel cheated!
Posted by: Rosie | June 03, 2008 at 12:25 AM
oops yes you did!
