    I can't believe nobody has commented on the major difference between this board and CCNet (or whatever - is it still going - I must pay a visit to see - what's the URL).

    It's got nothing to do with moderators. The fact is that this board is mostly frequented by contractors and the other by agents.

    Go figure. (as the Septics would say).

      ws, for goodness sake! nobody has remotely suggested you're not welcome. you are beginning to bahave a bit like franco, picking up a wild notion and running with it. i noticed that yesterday when you referred to my mention of 'lunatics' as though i were including you. at that time, i assumed you were joking. maybe you were serious? like franco moaning about my term 'knucklehead'. that was meant in humour, [read the post again], and an attempt to defuse the situation, a situation contributed to by franco jumping in, out of the blue with both feet, to a discussion he really had nothing positive to contribute to. i can't believe you are still hanging on to this. i'm happy to discuss further if you still feel aggrieved but i gave up on it yesterday when i saw others jumping onboard and starting to snipe from the sidelines.

      yesterday started off being quite a good day for me. as happy as a sandboy with my new amp. you lot ...

        and often figured. it has **everything** to do with the mods [or lack of].

          Yesterday was a good day...today is good as well. My only disappointment is that the lovely Orla thread has been removed. Did I mention that Orla is lovely? However, there is an RPG thread, which is even more wonderful and makes my inner geek happy, so it balances out in the end

          No, it's okay; not something I will lose sleep over

            "Don't knock ScotsPine, he's the moderator.

            I think he does a good job. "

            I always appreciated his efforts to keep to board to a reasonable level. However, lately I felt that he could have done something while lots of abuse and insulting was going on. Perhaps, he is fine with that but if his worries are that this board doesn't generate to CC levels is only thanks to some of its more mannered posters while he was completely ignoring all of that.

            Yet, SP even if you are well-spoken, your manners are polite only in the form but not in the substance with what you are just saying to me, and indeed I find you rather offensive and defamatory, even if your terms are more gentle and sophisticated than the average chav.

              Do you ever get the feeling that Atw and Franco have swapped personalities? It all happened a couple of months ago when Atw became more laid back and Franco became all uptight.

              Weird!

                  Who told you that, my friend?

                  Perhaps AtW has found himself a nice English lass. Could explain the mellowed mood.

                    ...its permiedom. Since AtW gave up permiedom he's become more laid back, and Franco went into permiedom.

                    Don't become a permie :\

                      "Don't become a permie "

                      I don't consider myself a permie. I am in a long term contract. After all, unless they will start paying the good 500-600 quid a day, I don't see any monetary advantage of taking a shorter term contract.
