By:
Alain Charnier is greatly missed.
 |
|
By:
The gruffalo is not on now as far as I know and his rather...er...aggressive style is unmistakable imo. He had several names after that though.
|

By:
oneten was a decent chap.... very into PtP as I re-call .
|
|
By:
therobster was pure class.. He worked full time and still had a very successful thread..

Alain Charnier is greatly missed.Sad
yes i agree, i loved his alter ego that was a swiss fine art dealer.....  , very funny at times... |
|
By:
Years ago Hunty, stevealan, limerick mick et al would be taking the p!ss out of each other to the wee small hours !
Agree Glasgee, one of ppkings finest creations ! |
|
By:
billy, was therobster the lad who said it helped his judgement by giving a write up and p/l on his bets. ???
used to be good reading imo. |
|
By:
He quite often posted as ppking & BigNoseDave on the same thread ripping the p!ss out of aceform.....
'fezant & Krug tonight Dave' as one of aceforms banker's bit the dust ! |
|
By:
'aceform, is that your selection perched on top of the third fence !? '

A sad day when a thread of this ilk can reach 52 posts, without one mention of the great Janov ... a legend in his own time, and to this day he finest poster that he forum has ever seem ...I admit I am going back a bit ...
|
|
By:
Before my time A D, but when I joined he had achieved a great reputation as a poster .
|
|
By:
Was that because of his wit , tips or humour ?
|
|
By:
Intellect I believe.... great debater ! ?
|
|
By:
Janov's "Shocking Beast" folder is now in the British Library.

Shooting for the moon here, but is it remotely possible that anybody has a screenshot saved of the old forum ? ...and by "old" I mean the forum as it was back in 2002, with all the red ... (no blue back in them days).
The blue came in after the first forum format change IIRC (maybe 2003 or 2004), and caused outrage and mutiny in the ranks. I think Janov never posted to the forum again after the first format change, although ppking continued to entertain us all for a long time afterwards. ppking v Aceform ...legendary stuff. If anybody does in fact have a screenshot saved of the forum as was back in 2002 I would love to see it, but I don't hold out any great hopes. |

We haven't seen him for two days! I hope he's not dead! |
|
By:
The Great Saldato I think it was..good auld chuckle from his posts same with Alain Charnier.
Gorgeous George on the Bloodstock was a very interesting read, unfortunately I think he has passed away. |
|
By:
Yes sadly George passed away....

tim uk |
|
By:
Tim_uk still posts his monthly won/loss thread dont he?
|
|
By:
Sorry to hear about Gorgeous George. He and I disagreed about just about everything on Bloodstock and Breeding but he was courteous ( mostly ) and quite witty. Knew he had disappeared some time ago but I didn't realise why.

Clutchingatstraws,Platinum and Monte for me - 3 of the best layers I've seen in here.

Knight Commander..platinum does a blog on here..very very good he is

Anybody remember Pompey mike & his dog tips from our bruv ?.....
|
|
By:
Thanks sofiakenny I'll have a look for that later
|
|
By:
NGB and his many subsequent forum names are also a sad loss, together with ppk and his entire army of aliases. The latter was something of a character actor, with any number of well-drawn creations on his CV.
|
|
By:
I remember Pompey quite well Halcyon
had him on my list with Schworld Shedboy |
|
By:
and the original teabaghead....he was something!
|
|
By:
The forums John Betjamin imo .

renge ..... still around
LORD NEWBURY stephanie bot lesters cell mate |
|
By:
stephaniebot ...I had forgotten about him/her. He/she posted for ages and had everybody convinced he/she was a woman, until somebody unmasked him /her as a crossdresser called Steve.
Does DOOWADIDDY (sp?) still post on the forum ? I always had a sneaking suspicion that he might have been one of ppking's more outlandish creations ... |
|
By:
Diddy is on Chit Chat quite regularly, and PPK once assured me that he wasn't him.
