    Either way have some mid morning reading
    Qualities of a Good Bridge Toll Collector

    ■Good communication skills (English is better than grunts and growls)
    ■Experience wielding a club
    ■The ability to lift an average-sized adult male in full knight armor
    ■Strong multitasking skills (remember, traveler will approach from BOTH sides of the bridge)

    The poster-who-must-not-be-named fails at all 4. Oddly enough Churchy passes on all 4.

    See. No favouritism. Just good old fashioned corruption. @eek - BrilloPad is paying monthly. You paid for a year...

    There was a certain person who had to pay a grand. I would mention names but baiting is not allowed these days. Lets just say that the person is so cretinous that most of their posts contain only the word cretin.

    You could be right - but now we're having fun everyday.

    Racist comments and other general f.wittery resulted in some junior members getting bans. Some senior members joined it. The f.wittery seems to happen when the number of active members hovers around a certain level, hence waves of banning. (Above and below this level isn't a problem).

    Others were banned by mods testing the infraction/banning process.

    What's funny is we're accused of favouritism.

    The twist for this year is that banning happen all year around and only on 1st April is everybody safe and can do whatever they want on forum up until noon time...
