Regular Forumites who were never Banned , but just stopped posting

no Slippy, I know there's a Mr X tipster who  I had a look at a few years back.

Who was that Madman with a ghoulish name who posted mainly Gibberish and then signed off with "I must away"?

Spirit of something or other Tambers. He was funny. Always said he was keeping an eye on forumite's behaviour. lol

Not "Spirit of my weigh", that was Harry Cripps I think.

"My weigh" being a poster of many moons ago.

Slippy will remember.

Slippy will remember.

Spirit of Doom or something similar?

Mitch
Yes you're close....something like Legion of Doom.
Chas and Dave on BBC 4 good old songs.

just switched on. Cliff Bennett and the Rebelrousers. Good footage.

Boy, Albert Lee was/is top class.

I missed a lot of this stuff being in Canada..some great artists to check out for me.

This is good stuff Tambers, sticking the old tape on, BBC FOUR is a great channel. Goodnight old bean.

Good day rather.

Night M8.

Another nail in Bradford's coffin Tambers. The famous Fattorini's jewellers, makers of the first FA Cup won by an amazing co-incidence by Bradford City in 1911 is to become a pawnbrokers.

Good man,

SY

Speaking of which, where's redbag gone? not seen him for ages?

He topped himself when Andy Murray won a major.

obeone

CuBoNe aka Don Butler.

Gamble of course but hardly anyone rememebers him nowadays.

red bag was recently asking questions regarding a long holiday/travelling he was planning

The Kid and The_Kid .. both long gone:
Difficult, as one was perfectly sane but the

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

^
That was TheMentallyUnstableDrHuxleyPig or something like that. He had a few usernames, nice bloke but a bit confused about things. He moved to Spain I think, I gave him some advice about buying a gaff out there. Him and each peachy had a right bull and cow about who was the better looking of the two

A good character he was.

what's happened to Crisp77? Leading member of the Pun Scum™ and all round fungi.

Meatloaf also. Shirley time for a house price prediction thread...

Charles1980 aka Mr Eko  & Gary Binosh were on here every day but both decided thye didn't like the new May 2010 forum .They both appear briefly every 6 months or so though

Who was the lady that said we were all going to be wiped out by chicken flu?

Canaryboy or Cath 22

Cath22 (no space)

it was swine flu not chicken.

How many left due to phorum upgrades?

Londis is the biggest loss to the forum, a sad day when he got the tin tac.

ahem, are you sure he's left Slippy?

Who is he then? I would know his modus operandi. pm it to me kenny as I would like some computer advice.

ok

I chatted briefly with DrHuxley .. seemed a cool enough guy used to bet quite heavy on the soccer .. did he buy a place out in spain Slippy ?

He moved to Malta

did he Fresh , cool how's you ?

does he rent out there , whats he do .. still betting do you know ?

I'm fine ta.

Not sure but I presume he rented as last I heard (a couple of years ago) he was thinking of moving on again.

He was working in the betting industry I think hence the move to Malta.

Cubone,interesting tales. Albert Farnsworth,a raging Tory but a good judge of football. Barnacle Bill, self-appointed guru of next manager markets. HWB, "it's all about price", he knew his stuff.

Thankyoumugs, stopped posting, was good tipster on general forum.
must be a professional now, explain why he dont post.

Good shout with HWB, dizzydavid, easily the most knowledgeable football punter on the football forum, and a purveyor of some of the finest late-night drink-fuelled rants ever seen on there too.

Indeed jed.

is Baggers still here?

was that baglady to start with?

used to travel round the bookies arbing, not that I'm knocking that.

don't think so

Baggers was the bookie who lived in Malta ,supported Huddersfield Town

Baggers first username was Baglady.
Worked for Coral for years then left to work for another bookie and moved abroad.

jimmy the fart strainer.

top bloke, etc.

Lady Penelope was a man posting as a " laydee". Bert was offensive in every way. A hypochondriac to boot.

Terry McCann, whatever happened to him.

Baggers is still living in Malta, working for aforementioned 'other bookie' told him you were pining for him and he said he's moved on to facebook and twitter these days and probably won't be back. Sends his regards though

He was okay, Terry McCann.

Not sure this sort of thread is a good idea because people that don't get mentioned might just think "feck 'em I won't come back".

Having said that, Abolo and Boggle haven't been seen for a while.

Has anyone mentioned Wizard's Sleeve?

I remember his Beatles quizzes - the round he did on 'catalogue numbers' was a classic!

I remember that gleeman.  He was an absolute music guru.

He was (Wizard's Sleeve) - and a great laugh too.

I think he has made e odd reappearance.  He used to stay up real late, got well into the quizzes (was good on all subjects but would beat all comers on music) think he realised, iirc, that he was spending too much rime on here so just knocked it on the head.

I chat to Baggers now and again on Facebook. Our last coming together, about 3/4 days ago, was over a bookie called McLean, who sounds like he's a cheating bastard.

he's a top bloke, bad jokes like but i still good to talk to . i worked with him at his current employer in this country before he got shipped out and i stayed behind.

Baggers is a cracking chap - and still to be 'seen' at other venues.

Roanman, he would never have been banned in 100 years.Just vanished, hope he's ok.

Not seen this thread before. Glad to note that certain people's absence was noticed. A few already named who I'd wondered about myself.

DMP, if you called in Easter's local again I'm sure he'd let you buy him a pint.

Wizard's Sleeve WASN'T unbeatable on music quizzes btw. He lost at least once. winky smiley.

has The Magic Flea quit the forum?

seems so. maybe he was swatted?

PoolFC is a shocking omission from this thread, imo

ah, if i recall correctly Pool you used to join in with the afternoon quizzes about 2008

were they the naked quizzes

Yes tobermory, that would be me. I did set a few questions for some quizzes too, but in the end work got in the way. This is my first time back in ages, surprised (pleasantly) to see so many familiar names on the forum :)

i blame PoolFC

PoolFC has got a lot to answer to, for me.

I agree with Green Willow, where is he. ??

I agree with SlippyBlue

Hello PoolFC

remember this chap?

Nirvana ,last post June 25

Bill Killer

or was it billkiller? Top man.

Gene Hackman, what about him, very pleasant chap as I recall (probably blew smoke up my arse one day; you guys are the greatest).

I bring the sad news of the death of U.R.Wochuwyz on Saturday.  One of the greats of the forum back in the day, and if you have ever read Simon Day's autobiography "Comedy and Error", URW gets a hefty chunk of prose in tribute. A real character.

Crikey, a blast from the past, very sad, RIP.

I remember URW very well luddite, he was a regular poster on horse racing. He went to Gary's forum in later years and moderated that place. Sad news as he was one of the good guys even though we sometimes didn't agree on everything we always had a mutual respect for one another.

The oldtimers on the horse racing forum will remember him for sure.

A well remembered forumite by me.

R.I.P. and condolences to family and friends.

One of the list I actually remember ... and he is newly deceased!

Sad news, he was a cracking poster.

One of the giants of chit chat in the early days. Very intelligent, but always polite and courteous. Sad news indeed.

Had some interesting forum discussions with URW many years ago. He was very knowledgeable of many things from politics to Jewish Chess Grandmasters. Sad news.
RIP.

Does anyone remember a poster named "The Assessor?". Terrific chap, who had another name before that. Pretty sure it was 3 words but for the life of me I can't recall it. He'll be in his mis to late 60's now. Had some good chats with him.

It was just 'Assessor'

I used to have his email address but lost it when my last PC blew up a few years ago. I think he was also known as 'pp king' who always used to post 'a pleasing thread' before his name.

I know where he worked, but as he didn't want anybody else to know (apart from others on his email list I assume) so I kept it that way.

Thanks Squeeze, and I think you've answered this before. Yes it was "Assessor" as you say, on reflection but I'd be surprised if it was "pp king", (janov's mate) who although amusing wasn't the sort of chap you would have a sensible conversation with, apologies if that's wrong. Almost sure Assessor had a 3 word name before he changed it. He was getting on as he was older than me, marginally. We had "Sir Edward Appleton" in common. I was in his "house" at school and my Aunt knew his sister. Assessor attended one of his lectures in the 60s.

Not sure this sort of thread is a good idea because people that don't get mentioned might just think "feck 'em I won't come back".

Having said that, Abolo and Boggle haven't been seen for a while.

Abolo said he was a frenchman living in Newham, he did post a few photos of places I knew. He said he liked 'large black ladies' so is probably shacked up with one.

Good to see orioles back, btw

naydam, hope the old boy's ok.

No mention yet of a forumite who most here are probably glad to see the back of and that is 'ASCOT1'. I think that was the last username that he was using. He used to sing the praises of 'Pricewise' and his subject line was something like 'Sir Tom Does It Again'.

Wound a lot of people up on the horse racing forum for many years, but haven't seen any postings from him for a long time now, unless he's posting under a different name of course. Looks like he finally got fed up of all the abuse on here and left!

Poor old Mfordy.
