Our esteemed CUK poster mucked them about then told he had a mac!

I just received such a call, and am looking for the thread, but I can't find it

Can anyone who remembers this more clearly point me at the thread?

TIA.

Twas me...

They are slimey bastards. If I watched Watchdog, I'd be inclined to email them.
