What is Cairn's commission for this thread I wonder?

 

[thefab444]

Have thought about using Railmiles but havn't got the time or inclination to copy 20+ years of moves into the system to get accurate results.

Not knowing what RailMiles is, I went to http://www.railmiles.co.uk and was redirected to the Eurostar website

Thought about using Railmiles, before realising I can do the same job myself with some Excel sheets without lining Cairns pocket.

He's only a kid What's the deal with him on here then?

 

[Donny Dave]

It's a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong story, but one I'm not going to go into.

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Then why even bother to make that post?
I would quite like to know what the issue is with Cairns

 

[thefab444]

To try and avoid posts like yours?

It wasn't really anything that exciting anyway and it was quite a long time ago now.

If there was an issue that members did not want to talk about, then the good thing is just not to say anything rather than trying to show yourself as above other members by saying you know, but aren't telling.
You, and others, blatantly knew that posts like that would raise interest.

 

[thefab444]

On the contrary, I'm trying to stem your enthusiasm for finding out, because it wasn't really that interesting! In short, this forum had a different admin.

Well, he's over 18, so not legally no...

If anyone has a problem with Mr Cairns please keep it off the forum. Thanks

Yep, summed it up perfectly.

Sorry for dragging this up after time, but is there a way to search other members' mileage charts? I've 'stumbled' across a couple of people's charts but is there a general search engine for this?

 

[MCR247]

not that I am aware of
