John in Hull,
In an earlier post,[05.51 PM], Spaw typed "coolies" when he meant "cookies".
Ebbie noticed this and decided to try to wind him up.

A "cookie" is a sort of ID which is loaded on your computer, so Mudcat knows who you are; a "coolie" is the Chinese word for a general labourer (often seen in films with a cone-shaped straw hat, pulling a rickshaw).

Trying to wind Spaw up is a long standing ambition for many of us, but it isn't easy.
