Internet connections

Over here most people have internet access both at home and there doesn´t matter whether you are working office or factory, over here it seems to become a standard equipment for the staff

Phantom evo, and rockey were memnbers of BM before they joined RN, Mikey joined the same day, and I think he joined RN later in the day than BM

A play on words!, those three posters were unaware of the 'toob site' until they saw references to it on the UK's premier website!..I can't help it if a few of the flock stray into dodgy domains.

Actually the original quote by alan said most of the BM posters 'came from here', as in, originated from RIBnet.

My reply was meant to be read as 'there are plenty who didn't 'come from here' , in fact many have come to here from BM, or not visit here at all, like I said, you're playing with words.,......nobber!..sorry, Mr Nobber.

Yes?

So, why the feck didn't you hit the correct keys on the keyboard to produce the prose contained in paragraph 2??? Basics of communication - say what you mean and everyone can understand your point!

And you accuse me of playing with words... Jonny "Mad Dog" Fuller... sorry, Mr Jonny "Mad Dog" Fuller.
