thankyou very much paulz, i'm very flattered, there's two abbreviations that i use, LOL is Laughed out Loud and LMAO is laughing my a*se off. i do alot of laughing reading through this site. the name was a result of two things, first off i am a londoner and treacle is an affectionate name for a girl in london (my daughters are known as treacle-c and treacle-e, c and e being their inititals) and the fight bit comes from those long gone days before i had broadband, when trying to surf the net was tedious and trying to come up with a yahoo name that no-one else had was even harder. i mentioned to someone that it was like fighting in treacle which made me try treaclefight as a yahoo name. i think theres probably more people that call me treaclefight than my real name now. i'm still amused by the thought of fighting in treacle and now you mention it, i probably would wear the schoolgirl outfit to do it, will let you know if jim ever fixes it for me :-D
