I'm going have to rack my brains now to remember it...

Curses on you JKL, it's going to bug me now!

Aye -thats the one.

He only forummed from work, or so he said.

He appeared one evening when on a work trip (or so he said) and forummed after a few red wines, he was highly amusing pissed.

Yep. btg. Sussex fan. OK once you got past all the moans. Exploded NFI style never to be seen again IIRC.

You could have a decent convo with the one I'm thinking of, was bgt called something else as well? I'm starting to remember I think he was, cos he got binned for swearing....

Tis weird how people just stop forumming.

Rizzo just vanished into thin air... even if you get exceptionally busy in your private or business life you wouldn't think 1 post in 3 years would kill you.

Maybe lifestyle changes dictate that they stop or they just decide they've had enough and move on. C4 did get very unpleasent sometimes and especially towards the end.

Gordon hasn't been around for a while.

But there would be no way of anyone knowing if it had.

When I was at "Football Crazy", our poobah disappeared for ages and it wasn't until his wife worked out how to use the internet and told us all he'd had a massive heart attack and was lying in hospital with tubes and things sticking out of him that we were any the wiser.

clever girl, I knew it had something to do with cricket. I'm pretty certain now "not out" got sin binned and came back as "btg". Of course I could be grossly mistaken.

No, he was nothing like nothing like Sily Mid On.

Wow, I knew something. :sherlock:

I think he had a few usernames after that, can't remember them though. He was quite amusing as grumpy old men go.

Grumpy old men are luverly if they're cuddly with it.

How soon? Have your eyebrows started going wild yet?
