    This thread

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056202956

    got me thinking...

    Usually someone starts a thread with whatever idea etc, and the second guy posting gets more thanks than all the other posts together.

    Just once, id like to be that guy. It must be like the first poster is the setup line guy on CSI where theres just been a car crash and hes there to Horatio like..."What could have happened"

    Horatio aka second poster goes...

    "Wellm you dont get out of the car...*puts on shades* to stay in the driveway"

    *Queue the Who* :pac:

    Anyway my point is that the timing of the second post as opposed to the content is what gets the thanks - agree?

    Big pressure on the second poster now... :D

    You peaked just a little too early in starting your own thread on the subject
