I’ll weigh in with noddy questions about computers (nothing new there) – trouble is, admin is wise to this board

I'm game - but the trick of this is to respec' the admin's request that we talk no more of caravans.

So, without actually mentioning the word caravan, we could see how close we can skirt around the topic? Perhaps the existential nature of the 'travelling community' and the fragile beauty of an unfolded picnic table on the hard shoulder of the M1?

Like I said before - serious bunch of people - Troll's had a response to the caravan post - straight as a die.

Not a lot of help on the caravan front though...

Ah, fear not brave explorers, the admin is 'avin a laaarf. And I'm sure he won't mind me posting the following from his reply:

"No chance of you or any of the other interlopers getting banned on here or CUK for having a laugh, this has made my afternoon fly by."

and be warned... "no talk of caravans while I am gone "

Erk...

I used to be a freelancer - and technically I surely still am? Perhaps I can appeal? Surely CUKers and FUKers can coexist?
