    Has it become a clique?

    Do the veteran members not like any newbies joining to break up their gentleman's (and ladies) club?

    It's got very stagnant here.
    People are not being born fast enough to replace the membership. The ranks will have to be filled with immigrants. I predict that in five years time, 95% of CUK members will be Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. (I have seen the trend on various technical forums.)

    With the exception of a few ageing pimps, the current members will have all died of old age or moved to Germany like me.

        I do hope so.

        I love 'em.
        We've only had one thread today. He's weaning us off them slowly.

          You could never upset me, dear k2!

          I plan to stick with BumCraic though. If you see what I mean.

                  That's unlikely to happen.

                  One of three things will occur:

                  1. The regulars will invite themselves around to your place for a welcoming party and trash it

                  2. You will be flamed for being a newbie asking dumb questions when all along people will suspect that you are a regular playing dumb to wind us all up

                  3. You will be ignored for being a newbie because all along people will suspect that you are a regular playing dumb to wind us all up

                  It all depends what you post really ...

                    You are very brave, old son - respect . So, do you fancy option 1, 2 or 3?

                      I hear option 1 calling very very loudly, although I have to go out shortly.

                      So Harry, do you like movies about gladiators?
