Well it would be if you've got piles!!

I disagree look at first few posts

john p "why did you leave" which in past would be have been "fuck off if you only want advice"

I keep saying it but a Forum is a base for a shared common interest. If its just become a place for anonymous abusers to vent their spleen then its well past its sell by date.
