    Entirely wrong in all respects. Only admin has any pecuniary interest in CUK; no moderator does. Sockies are routinely banned, the evidence is for all to see. Also you seldom see spam on this site because it is actively dealt with.

    Not only are you tibialiaphobic, you're plainly bitter and twisted and a little bit ignorant and self-obsessed.

    Although since Gumbo Robot is another incarnation of wurzel, all the sockies are probably his.

    Suityphobia perhaps.

    You really have no clue. When this id's first post was made, it set alarm bells ringing, but usually we give people the benefit of the doubt on the basis that there are a lot of numpties out there. "Being stupid" isn't sufficient grounds for banning, you see. Actually, this is logically obvious or you would have been out years ago. Also, unless the sock master is particularly thick, he or she is unlikely to make the first post obvious sock material.

    As soon as this thread was seen, suspicions were confirmed and the ID was killed off. I'm not really sure how we can improve this process, except perhaps some form of telepathy?

    Sockies upset you though, don't they. Really get under your skin. Some form of tibialiaphobia perhaps?

    It is an embarrassing situation excuse me.

    In India, no one is naked. Only children and holy men are naked in India.

    Where?

    In UK medical examination, is it necessary to expose penis?

    Thank you.
    Give it a bit if a rub if it's a bit small, a semi lob-on is perfectly acceptable in UK medicals, and make sure yours is ok too...
