I'm here from the SMB along with me other Sunlun fans here to swamp your board, just as we did yesterday to make history on this board by getting you a new record! Was reading yesterday, decided to register today to have a bit of banter with you guys.

near crawley and gatwick, but not to be confused with crawley, as that is a shithole.
I am what is known as an exile.

that's alright marra, i had a little browse of the board first and it seemed that was the way things are done round here. On the SMB when there is a new member, as soon as they are found, they are accused of being "toontoon" until they prove themselves otherwise!

Welcome, MC - don't call the site admin "marra" and you'll do fine. We have one regular Sunderland member, Hoolio, who joined us when we played you last time and stuck around.

It's an irritating form of address designed to inject a lighthearted sense of mateyness (sp?) into a conversation - much like when (predominantly) young Asian shopkeepers insist on calling you "boss"...
