Welcome to the booth Marya. It's amazing how much knowledge is here. Get to know the search function. The archives are large and MANY interesting topics have already been covered. Jump in and join the conversation! The more voices the better.


As for Hughesie, he's just a spoiled rich brat from down under with some funky glasses. I suspect he is part bandicoot. There is no need to fear him, but don't touch or feed him.

Welcome to the Chaos...

Is this former boss of yours someone who we would know by some username? Or if you would prefer not to mention it, that's fine as well.


Now, the normal spiel... The search feature should become your friend. Don't be afraid to bring back old topics, IF you have something constructive to add. Ask questions, answer questions and all that caper. These days we seem to fall off topic much more than we used to, but we do try to answer the original question amongst the civil unrests and domestic disputes. Folks are bound to ask if you have a website, and were you in a permanent space, they'd be wanted to know the specs of said space.

Alex, I thought we'd established that this "gafftaper" was an alterego of this "Mark"... And one or both of them think we confuse them. HA.

Well, i'll chime in. Mary worked for me, and will until she departs for FELD. Now I need a new crewton... In reality though, I am quite happy for her, and I hope that she has a great time with them. I also hope that she becomes a good member of CB, I told her that we could answer any question she might have.

But seriously though, is that a term I don't know, or a typo?
Crewton - one who works on a crew
