    Why do you like CUK?

    For me it started off as a genuine interest in contracting and there is nothing for social workers. Now it's the wit and sometimes the wisdom. Some very bright people on here, plus some who act like d**ks but are probably putting on an act, at least I hope they are. Plus you should see the social work forums.

      That covers it, I guess. Plus the power to ban people.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Because I'd probably be arrested or beaten up if I was going to head down to the local mental health and special needs school and take the piss. On here you can get away with it.

        You cretins.

              You are bored at 6pm on a Saturday?

              I might be bored as I am restricted to a chair/bed. But how can someone able bodied be bored?

                Frankly it's a little addictive. Don't know why because frankly its a waste of time.

                I believe it stems from the community of like minded individuals and the banter which as a contractor who moves from place to place or company to company you effectively are excluded from (from a work perspective).

                For all the years I've been on CUK (97/98) certain posters Prawn, Churchill, AtW have also been around, which is why we're all sick of each other.

                  Because it is the only place I am respected, well liked and people haven't worked out that I don't know my arse from my elbow yet.

                    Lads, I haven't got the heart to tell him the truth.
