Dear Shoz To get a rounded view of CH and to ascertain whether or not you'd like to become an Associate (I'd give up on the Honorary Old Blue if I were you), I'd recommend that you open up a dialogue with Spooonbill, he'll be only too pleased to give you the 360. In fact, Spoonbill probably wanted t...
