Doesn't seem like a requirement to post here first, but it feels like I should - like ringing the doorbell rather than entering the party through the bathroom window or something. Hello British Comedy Guide folk! Do you have a collective name . . . ? 
Hi, Jack and welcome

Hi!
Hello. Dont feel like you have to say hello.
(then again, it might be a badge of honor thing to see how many hello's I can collect in competition with all the other NOOBs)
Hi there, welcome to the BGC. Like the screen name and the avatar. Have fun.
Thanks Tim. My avatar is in fact a live feed from my webcam . . .
Oh. I thought it was Saddam Hussian!

And your politeness is much appreciated.
Welcome to the parish.

Hi Jack (Slippery)
Im wondering now if etiquette dictates I reply to all of you individually, or say a blanket "thanks everyone!" when I think everyone has finished. It's a bloody minefield . . .
Whichever. As long as you don't start murdering the prostitutes other members.
Hello.
(Although you should make sure that you use punctuation and stuff; like not missing the apostrophe from "I'm" in your post above!)
Hello...
Helloooooooooooooooo
