I think the key question is; was it chips or salad with the humble pie?

I misuse the word "big" all the time as well. That's what girls tell me anyway.

Not bad!

Forgive me for being a newbie, but who the hell is GIBBO, and why is he so important?

Read the other thread maybe?

He's a product purchasing manager or something, used to have nice prices on some things every now and then.

Every now and then? :confused:

Some of his deals were amazing TBH. There's a reason people used to hammer F5 when he promised deals the day before.

Some being a pretty large majority. At least for whatever I've been interested in at the time, the deals have ranged from pretty good to very good. Not saying they all were, obviously it's not as though I looked at every deal ever; only on the stuff which appealed to me anyway.

He was a product manager for OcUK a few years a go, but then some stuff that I'm not totally sure of happened, and he left (or got fired). Quite a lot of controversy at a time I remember. He is known for getting some great deals, and now he's coming back!

On a semi-unrelated note, did you know OcUK is the 429th most visited UK site?

This thread didn't deliver the excitment I was hoping for.
