Speaking of numbers, the recently departed @MarkusMannheim, who always took the time to crunch numbers and draft FOIs with me. And he always kept it weird like me. Stay weird, Mr Mannheim.

Then there's Alex Back, who is Twitterless, who toils silently and diligently at the local courts. Her coverage of Eastman and the Witness K the most recent examples of her hard work. I'll tell her this in person.

The old Sunday crew, @ElliotAWilliams and @AndrewBrownAU. Thanks for the laughs. I'm surprised I ever got anything done, but I was always amazed by the huge amount of hard work you put into the paper everyday.

The hard working togs at the Crimes, @JamilaToderas, Sitthixay Ditthavong, Dion Georgopoulos, Elesa Kurtz and @karleenminney. They've made my stories - everyone's stories - shine with their passion. Thanks folks.

.@dougdingwall I don't think this man would sweat with a gun to his head, and even in the middle of maelstroms he's still taken time to help. Thanks, Doug.

He left us a while ago, but @TomMcIlroy has let me stay in touch. (I'm looking forward to seeing you on the hill, dude.) I don't know why he took me under his large wings when I got to the Crimes, but I'm forever grateful.

My old Sunday bosses, Meredith Clisby (now my daily news ed) and @kimlelievre. Always able to see the forest from the trees, and when I got too sucked into something, would always help pull me out.
