Can we just keep the laugh at carlscum section open in case they lose again and the rest of the site isn’t up ?

Lol, maybe we can ask TankingCarlton if they'll host it for us :lol:

Seriously, though, thank you so much for all you do for the site, Mike, and keeping my fingers crossed this update works out!

Should Nick's survive the upgrade, we'll need to have a hard talk about fund raising to cover Mike's costs in running the site .

Thanks Mike, ****!

However, under the circumstances, both you and your I.T. dept are getting sacked this week, along with the coach, assistant coaches, bootstudders, half out list, and half the posters on the forum.
It's been one of those weeks, and unfortuneatly something just had to give.

Thank you all for your services, and understanding. :P


Maaate, you forgot the tea lady and her top shelf sandwiches and scones. :P :P
Yep; she's getting the Keiber Pass as well.... just in case she spits in my sandwiches and scones as retribution....

Hmmm... very well... should I throw a couple of coconuts out of the cot for dramatic effect? If it boosts viewer numbers, ratings and revenue, then I'll take one for the team....

A small go-fund me page would have to be in order; I'm sure everybody can kick in $10.00 at a minimum late 2024?

GREAT IDEA
Maybe our old poster The President could rustle up some stuff for us to raffle off? I’m happy to donate but if there were prizes on offer I’d have a bunch of mates not on Nicks that would buy tickets?

Some signed footies, jumpers that type of thing.

Thanks everyone, I'm only one cog in this machine, this site would not still be going without the input and management provided gratis by the moderators.

Yes Charlie, and I was only 45 when Nick started the site as an 11 year old, I'm a lot older now and Nick's about to have his 40th.
