Title: Good Afternoon
Post by: Talisman on February 14, 2011, 12:08:24 PM: I've been lured here by numerous late night requests for information about my mysterious ways and if I'm another member.....

I'm currently quite tied up with a project involving me working in an environment without a laptop, therefore I will try to improve my communication levels up to the 12 seconds reply time demanded by children locked in their bedrooms, however bear with me until the response time is met.

I'm very sorry for the delays in posting and sorting out people including lack of replies. There is no excuse for that, it was totally out of order and I hope those concerned are now satisfied and those jumping on the bandwagon are thanked as I'd do the same, live by the sword, die by the sword.

I am not Instinct Cricket, I do know the owner and his team, in my opinion they are offering something more than just words, of course the expected result of a brand launch on the forum is instant viewpoints from the usual suspects. I'm biased towards them as I know more than you lot but I will post up pictures of my free bat in lieu of my help on the willow front when I get it.

It should be a long hot summer, I will be offering free cold drinks to visitors!!!

Hi Mike, good to see you back. Hope you had fun with the Modulus.

As you say of Instinct, you know more than we do, which is why we have the opinions we have, and you have a different view! As they progress and we get to see more of what is on offer and people getting their hands on kit then we will be in a position to change our points of view. We can only go on what is presented to us, after all!

Hi Tim,

I have not really had a chance to do much with it except look at it, hope to have a play later on.

I don't think Instinct need me to help them, they'll do just fine but I have asked if they can join in and maybe become a sponsor to allow you guys to ask direct questions.

Tom, I'll sort your balls out for you, just give me a chance to speak to an expert about them, your friend thought they were too hard last time he held them and wanted them softer if I remember correctly...

Although I prefer chilli heatwave & hot salsa, with a side of jalapeneos, you could opt for one or the other? A mild crisp/hot dip combo perhaps? Much more exciting....
Title: Re: Good Afternoon
Post by: Colesy on February 14, 2011, 03:35:07 PM: I was tempted, I opted for the safe option.

I shall be returning as they have large bars of Galaxy for the same 2 for £2 offer. With a trip to Barcelona this weekend I may stock up
