ooops sorryOriginally posted by MaryPoppins View PostDoh. I was going to see if he believed me.
But the deduction was elementary... Mich fancies older women, and he's late 30's, ergo MP > 50 or MP < 35Comment

Now every time I'm on checkout I'll be worried that one of you will pass by and recognise me as the lad who leads a double fantasy life as an IT contractor

That would require a contractor to actually have to go into a supermarket.Originally posted by Platypus View PostNow every time I'm on checkout I'll be worried that one of you will pass by and recognise me as the lad who leads a double fantasy life as an IT contractor

There are some real arseholes on this site!
Almost every new poster who comes along and posts in General gets flamed, abused or just stupid answers.
I wouldn't have any of you on my team and if I was to find anyone posting on Contractor UK during the day I'd let them go.Comment

If the rampant sockpuppetry was stopped then maybe the genuine new posters wouldn't be drowned out or just be totally put off from posting on CUK.Originally posted by Zippy View PostBe fair. It's not the new posters who get "flamed, abused or just stupid answers" - just the arseholes.
One reason I've barely posted on or even visited CUK for the last 8 months is because of the endless trolling sockies. Yes I realise that's a red rag to a bull for yet more output from the sockie creators.
As I said on another thread if the puppet masters had their main account postcounts reset to zero maybe it would stop a few of them as that would give their bloated egos a bit of a kicking.Comment
