No I joined a few weeks before R£o went and after DOL had been sacked, which was Summer 2002. Cundell Comms were through Breadbox NChat IRC client on a Nokia 9110 Communicator thanks to free unlimited WAP from Genie. Drowned the upgrade Nokia 9210 when I continued typing during a sudden downpour - LCD screens don't like water apparently. The 9210i that replaced it was ok but the IRC client was a bit handmade, not a patch on Breadbox and made connecting to servers difficult. Genie became O2 and started limiting the WAP access and thus the cost and the lack of a decent client meant the end of cundell comms. Think they outlasted a few managers mind you. We used to do a pre-match 'hi from the wheatsheaf' too and that's not open anymore either.
