    OK, own up, which one of you is 'newblood'?

    So is 'newblood' a sockie?

    Or one of the fictitious characters made up by admin to keep us amused at weekends?

    Out of 125 posts, 32 are to create a new thread and 93 to respond to a thread. That's a poor 1:3 ratio of neediness.

    And the questions:

    - tell us about your sex life (when I clearly have never had one with someone else);
    - how do I get a job overseas (despite having come from overseas)?
    - how do I get off the bench (despite being a support bod, I mean, a web developer)?

    The flat refusal to refer to the stickies, or the CUK Navigation, or acknowledge there are cultural traditions here all suggest somewhat trollish behaviour. And the use of English must surely be intentional to get a response.

    So come one, which one of you is it?

      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          I am just a member , like I said I have been contracting in the UK for a while , after the new EU accession happened.

          I do post funny posts , just to keep myself and others entertained , like the sex week , post. Most of my posts however simply seek advice to help me make better decisions in contracting.

              1) It's big of you to admit you're a tool, thanks.

              2) Can't say I've noticed but are they funny ha, ha or funny ironic?

              3) Or, conversely, they show a complete laziness on your part to perform any research yourself.

              Anyway, thanks for playing.
