Following Symes advice I hereby institute the Auckland Clique(of one for the time-being)for those hardy souls with an unhealthy obsession with men in black and white playing with round balls.

Applications for membership now accepted.

Wow, this has the potential to become a truly trans-global clique!

Just posted info on the other thread re: live matches. All the best Mark - you'll need it....! Where you working?

A warm welcome Mark. New poster, or long-time lurker? Geordie ex-pat or Kiwi convert?

Presumably, you aren't the Mark Thompson who worked with me in the US for Sterling Drug are you?

No sorry Clarky I am not the drug connected MT. I am working for Alcatel installing a fibre optic cable to the States which was why I was in California. I have been a lurker since Communicata, I think I made one post supporting TSM and feel now that I suffered in silence for long enough as penance.

Well I'll join the Auckland clique. I'm in Kiwi land working on Alcatel systems too - my surname is also Thompson, are you my brother Mark? AND I STILL BELIEVE THE BADGE ON THE NEW STRIP IS TOO SMALL.

Bedlington lad born and bred, however I have basically travelled around the world for the last 15 years. Probably end up living in Spain next year, I might apply to join Swift's clique then!

Bear in mind that there are already several Spanish cliques based on Barcelona. There's only one members but they all have split personalities.

There'll be another in the south of Valencia in a couple of years time.

Where do you anticipate ending up?
