    It's a bit of a my daddy's bigger than your daddy type nonsense, a bit like 'The Rules'.

    That's new's to me, when I race, I have a number pinned to my back, when I don't have a number pinned to me back, I'm not racing...........

    Love it.

    But I love the rules too. They're a great combination of irony, humour, truth and complete nonsense that somehow really appeals to me.

    My FCN is 3, although that only proves that the calculator is cobblers - it doesn't account for the fact that I have non-matching front lights, and all my clothes are Muddyfox and cheap :)

    Should I be disappointed at FCN8? Do I have to break out the cheque book?

    It just means you've got loads of targets to aim for...

    My FCN is 1 apparently.. so not many options for me.

    It's the result of taking a harmless silly game slightly too seriously. :lol:

    However, it's a forum in-joke. I have a certain amount of tolerance and/or affection for forum in-jokes as I have been posting in online communities for a few years now and they all have them. "The rules" on the other hand are just an annoying internet meme that for some strange reason people feel the need to perpetuate. It's not like the wider world cares about them...

    Well, there you go, learn something new every day. Never knew what it meant, even more pleased to find I'm number 14 - does the addition of crutches on the back increase or decrease the number??
