Abreviations has two b's and you've posted this in the wrong forum

I'm guessing that BTTT means "back to the top", or as it's often referred to in gaming forums a bump.
One of the oddities here is that everyone seems to use YHM for You Have Mail. Everywhere else that I post uses YGM - You Got Mail.

Also peeps on here have a strange obsession with shouting "Corner!" - still not quite figured that one out...

Steve the more time you spend on here the more you get used to it, chill out and take some of the information on board from this, one of the biggest and best car forums, the search engine is very good if you want to know anything, dont spend too much time on here though, its very addictive

That's becasue we can speak English in a proper manner, as opposed to how Americans use Got/Get for everything instead of have.

Don't miss out the all important "SIAL" (Scooby In A Lake)
It's what is shouted if everyone's seen something before.

You'll have to work out Corner yourself.

Nice one dnb - SIAL has been bugging me for a while.

For the amount of time I spend on here - you would have thought I would have picked up on that one......

btw - Nathan - AFAIK DD means drunk and disorderly - at least, that is what they always write in the book when they give me a lift to the police station near my house on Saturday nights

[Whisper]
Corner is the term given to the first post on a new page.
SIAL is just... well SIAL..... everyone has seen that before?
