I always take my own (champagne, that is, not comatose woman - now THERE'S an idea...)

Hmmm...Larry of you hear any more about whether it covers Maison Blanche please let me know

No ISP required?

Why thank you Brian, I certainly don't intend interfering with the bonhomie and wit for which CA is renowned any more than is absolutely essential.

You guys understand the score already....and newbies are, of course, very welcome to jump in...we just want to keep it a place where people feel they can take part, and also maintain the site's credentials as a premier source of LM info

Can't you tell I'm new at this?  

See http://www.clubarnage.com/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=147 for the answer...

Larry - my ignorance is showing through. I have a Dell laptop with a wireless network card. Will that do the trick? (Forgetting the risk of theft - it's only a company laptop anyway...)

Would I need an ISP?

Exchange has a feature where you can delay the time a mail is sent. Not sure how well it works, but I've used it before for "cover-ups"  

It wouldn't be the end of the world without it, but would be better with...so keep the suggestions coming!

Was it last year that some poor sods paid a premium price on anohter site and received some rather poor photocopies of the tickets? My recollection is that they had been sold in "good faith" and the guy gave them their money back.

SimonKE unless you want your account suspended, I'd shut up if I were you!!





Only teasing...no risk of being flamed...

I'm sure you'd noticed, but I've just been given a moderating role on this site. I've no intention of being heavy handed in any aspect, but one of my primary duties is ensuring the site guidelines are "enforced".

Given that one of those guidelines is No Profiteering in Sell or Swap forum then that's what we'll aim to achieve. It's never going to work 100%, or satisfy everyone. However, a more active moderation than we are used to might result in something closer to the guidelines. My personal view, and I stand to be corrected, is that "reasonable" costs can be requested (postage, even an allowance for calls to ACO - certainly no more than a fiver or thereabouts onto ticket price).

It's already been pointed out today in another post where tickets can be freely traded. Maybe I should guide profiteers towards those sites in the Guidelines post.

I'm wondering whether to delete links or references to specific ads, as that could be seen as a way round the site "rules" - if a person advertises elsewhere and then links to it from here is virtually the same as posting here. However today's post was to point out the crazy prices and was not promoting the sale, in my opinion.

Regarding "Offers invited" ads, at the moment I'm considering not deleting them, but instead adding a reminder about the site guidelines. Their fate will probably be very subjective depending on my mood  .

(btw I know someone who applied at pre-q last year but didn't get his allocation - powermite?)

Can anyone suggest a way I might get access to the internet while I'm down at LM?

If someone on Maison Blanch (Rick?) has portable computing I could do with 15 mins or so twice a day, at no cost to me!!

Or if anyone from one of the teams or ACO can help that would be good...

Any sensible suggestions welcome!!!

via email if you'd prefer... smokie@stones.com

Gilles - if I get no offers, is there an Internet Cafe near the track? Within cycling distance...

Are you the first what??? Answers on a postcard lads...

Simon, I suspect you've missed nothing...sharp as ever eh?  

...and I'd thought this one had died down...

...it will disappear completely if the fight restarts...

...in fact it might go anyway...watch this space...

 
In line with the site's user agreements, profiteering on ticket sales is not allowed in this forum.  A small "admin" mark-up to cover genuine overheads will be considered reasonable. Here are some basic rules for this forum:

• Offers for sale to include offer price
• Requests for tickets not worded to encourage profiteering
• No links or references to sites which could be considered "advertising"

Posts breaching any of these will be edited or removed.

There are plenty of other places on the internet where trading is not restricted.

And another thing...

You could try leaving messages for them on the message service at the top of the page.

Be a great way to "reserve" your team camping pitch - lay out the entire Bayeaux.

You could drop it back to them after, hoping it hasn't got muddy footprints all over of course

Not more girls...that'll be five at LM this year then...

If you can't get Portsmouth then do Dover - Calais. It's only 250 miles of easy drive the other side...much MUCH less atmosphere on the boat but at least you'd get there...and for me the door to door time is actually quicker, due to the fact that they never open the throttle on the ferries on the Portsmouth route
