Why ask mods to lock the thread?
With all due respect, this is the general section and nobody has asked you to read through this thread.
I started the thread and am still getting plenty of entertainment from it, as are many others I'm sure, coupled with the fact that it's these type of threads where you actually find out a lot about people if you look a little bit past the bickering and arguing ??
I cant stop reading it Gaz!
what I meant was this tends to happen on a thread every now and then and take over the thread, so why not have just an open discussion page
