Hi i'm also UK based and have only been at mudcat a few weeks. I dont know how they do it but Iwake up in the middle of the night and switch on the computer before I switch on the light,"YES THE COMPUTERS IN MY BEDROOM" click on the icon on the desktop so I can get a fix. so here is a warning DONT DO IT its ADDICTIVE,GIVE UP MUDCAT NOW LEST YOUR LIFE BE TAKEN OVER AND YOU WILL DWELL IN LONELY SOLITUDE LOOKING AT THAT SCREEN. seriously now mudcat is a good place to be with good people on it. .WL.
