Commence your yearly seethe/lists.
Lists:
Toggle SpoilerAE - Winning at life, sorry I have the air shot burned into my memory
Alan Shearer The 2nd - nice enough car expert
Andy - seem like a decent bloke to go for a pint with
Sir Andy Mahowry - misunderstood but online too much for your own good
Angelsaint - part genius part psychopath
Baz - forever straddling the line between bantz king and terminally annoying
Boydy - Henry-lite
Dark Soldier - makes my own perversions look vanilla which fills me with admiration and revulsion simultaneously. Rollercoaster Guy POF was class though.
Davgooner - no nonsense
GS - still vividly remember waiting for you to post after Woy lost at Anfield to Blackpool, all other thoughts are filtered through that prism
Henry - angry intellectual
Ian - good bloke with excellent taste in books
ItalAussie - TTH’s Stephen Hawking
Jeet - Taz Prime
Jimmy Floyd - In my mind you’re Ian Hislop if he was forced to read only The Telegraph
John - Stereotypically dour, likely playing it up, alright really
Kikó - Myth
Lewis - hilarious online but I fear in real life you could put a glass eye to sleep
Magic - fellow degenerate with worse life choices
Mert - always giving it the big un which inevitably means over compensating, TTH’s Robbie Savage
Offshore Toon - aloof, laugh along with you one minute, tell you to fuck off and die the next
Panda Bear - hipster man living in a cuddly technological marvel world who’s probably never seen rust
Pepe - Top Geezer
Samadini - good lad but a tad flakey

SincereTheRebel - force of nature
Smiffy - if Liverpool FC was a man
Spikey M - big heart small head
wullie - king of the one liner
Yevrah - Emperor of seethe
Stick that up your dojoTo save phonics's embarrassment, here's a half hour list. Deal with it. I lost interest as the alphabet wore on, so soz Yevrah.
Toggle SpoilerAdamski does the Scotsman thing better than John does, although John’s shtick is more misanthrope than man of the Caledonian wastes. I don’t know how they’ve developed this victim complex up there, when in fact they’ve been prosperous for all eternity. Perhaps it’s the decline of the shipyards and Thatcher, which, if so, means they are identical to northern England and there is nothing different about Scotland at all.
Alan Shearer The 2nd, on the other hand, suggests that there might be.
Sir Andy Mahowry is back to being good after a period of being shite. This is all in relative terms, of course, he’s not yet Vonnegut or Dostoevsky.
Baz straddles the divide between fun-loving scamp and unpleasant weirdo with such ease that it’s never easy to tell on which side of the line he is going to fall next. He is probably one of those things pretending very hard to be the other.
Bernanke should post in sentences of more than three words.
Boydy should not.
Browning I encounter only through reading the NFL Fantasy thread, which, remarkably, I do on a semi-religious basis. I massively dislike American football, but I like reading about bizarre subcultures that I don’t understand.
Dan is also in this category, although he’s gone properly native on it. I don’t see the attraction. Too much physicality in the game versus strategy – and yes, you’ll tell me there is lots of strategy but that is true of every sport up to and including tiddlywinks. I enjoy sports that are brain first and brawn second (or third, or fourth) and so baseball is the one for me.
Danny is a good poster but also probably going native.
Dark Soldier is at his calmest and most relaxed ever, it strikes me.
dino will become ill if he bets for many more years, but I've learned quite a lot from him (not really about betting which I've weaned myself off, but ways of looking at the world).
Disco is a great poster and his posts make up for the shameful absence of cord’s.
Giggles I really, really like nowadays, which will probably ruin his day. I like the linguistic magic dust he sprinkles on the board, with his ‘grand’ and his ‘I’ve pizza’ and so on.
Henry does the best book reviews but let me tell you this Henry, and it’s been bugging me for fifteen years now, possessive apostrophes FUCKING EXIST. ‘Henry’s’, not ‘Henrys’.
Ian is class, like the poster I would be if I wasn’t a pretentious cunt.
igor_balis is also class and lives life to the full (ish), which is to be admired.
ItalAussie only posts at about 11pm our time nowadays, or 9am, but in a way that makes him better as he used to get pissed off when drawn into massive debates with Harold ‘The Bishop’ Bishop and his friends and followers.
John’s best moments come when he isn’t being a theatrically narky git, but it’s still pretty funny when he is. I don’t mind his TV analysing, it’s original and more interesting than reading another twat whinge about The Walking Dead being shit. Why do you watch it then?
John Arne often doesn’t understand things the first time around, probably because he’s been trying to hold Hill 875 for the last thirty years, but otherwise is as good as he’s ever been.
Kikó is nice but I’m afraid I can’t think of anything to say about your recent posting other than that it isn’t shit.
Lewis, had he been born in a prosperous, hip and happening, well-connected part of the country rather than whatever fusty backwater he is in, would be poncing it up, probably as a staff writer for the Independent, or at a think tank, and campaigning hard to #stopbrexit. He’d also be getting paid. That’s all it is, Betts. Accident of birth.
Magic is a stupid sweaty prick, but all the more entertaining for it.
Max Power, still good as ever.
Mazuuurk posts well and I love winding him up about international breaks.
mikem, yes sir yes sir yes sir.
mokbull is one of those wankers with a superiority complex. Can't be doing with the likes of him.
niko_cee, bravo, etc.
Offshore Toon will probably grow up now, shame, although that post about drugging himself with some drugs at a work do suggests maybe not.
Pepe is a sarcastic Mexican fuck.
phonics I like more than I once did, but it is funny how he gets things wildly wrong. I agree with him about more things than I used to as well, although he used to be a right lefty wet weekend and I used to be drier than peanuts in the Kalahari.
Pleb is fun. He understands literally nothing, but that is no barrier to entry; a thick skin is, and he has one.
Queenslander is a funny read, shame he doesn’t post more although these days that tag applies to literally the entire board except me and Mahow.
randomlegend is a grouchy so-and-so. Loves jumping on me posting wrong things about football. I post wrong things about football, old bean, what are you going to do about it? Also the last person to harbour that mid-2000s-style massive bias towards his own team, which is a bit out of date on today’s TTH.
Raoul Duke, I read the book from which your username comes recently, I really enjoyed it.
Reg, good these days, I probably slated him for being tactics truck in the past but now real life, and indeed Twitter, has far overtaken him in that regard so looking back he was probably a VISIONARY.
Samadini, class horse.
Shindig’s short sentences referring back to things that probably never happened in 1997 are gold, never change.
SincereTheRebel’s boxing posts, like the NFL fantasy balls, Henry’s book reviews and so forth, I could read for hours. I know nothing about the subject matter and have no interest in it, but find it fascinating to read posts from someone who does and has. Enthusiasm, and subcultures, are what keeps the world turning.
Spikey M, good now, a survivor of many TTH eras.
Spoonsky, probably too busy having unprotected sex with anorexic girls and boys now to bother much with us.
SvN I like more each time I do a list. I think I’ve grown into him.
Waffdon: Cahill isn’t that bad, you spaz.
I got the laptop out. That's how much I love you fuckers. I've done enough for tonight though.
Adamski - Very up and down in the past. Went through periods of being really great and then even more of every post being a snarky jab. But he’s a scot I suppose. Seems to have binned it lately for the ‘group’, so what I wrote preceding this is probably irrelevant anyway.
Sir Andy Mahowry - Annoys the fuck out of me at times in the NFL stuff and his over use of the word disgusting, but he’s a mainstay and is better more times than he’s not. Gets far too much shit at times about his personal life too but I don’t think he gives a shit.
Baz - Baz sometimes seems like a really sound, but not to my taste, happy go lucky guy. Too much LAD. But there’s always something dangerous that worries me about him too.
Boydy - Doesn’t post a big pile now but I wish he did. Love the dourness, a man after my own heart. I’d love to go on an impromptu session with him and never speak of it again.
Browning - Can’t remember now why I left him on the list I edited but I think it’s for NFL stuff. Inoffensive.
Byron - I always mix him up with someone else. Has an angry and snappy streak that always surprises me because I mix him up with someone else. I think it’s Foe.
CJay - The only other Irish poster but I never really think of him as Irish and I don’t think he does either, but then again that’s Donegal. Seems a good guy though but another I don’t recall a big pile from lately.
Dark Soldier - alreet, etc. I never really know what he’s saying to be honest. But, and I have no reasoning for thinking this that I can put my finger on, if I was in a ball of shit and could call one poster to dig me out then he’d be the man. Maybe it’s because he seems streetwise, maybe it’s because he seems sound but yeah. Forum is better now that he’s very active.
dino - Snarky twat the vast majority of the time but has the odd moment.
Disco - Another one who would cut you to the bone as soon as look at you, but we need shit like that.
Foe - Foe is absolutely amazing. The vast knowledge and brilliance of the man is only matched by his amazing looks. Never ever gets ratty.
Regards,
Foe.
Giggles - Absolutely fucked in every way shape and form.
Hammer - Hammatime. Couldn’t help but like Hammer. Seems to have relaxed a bit since he used to get all defensive about his eyes wide shut clubs and just rolls with it now. I also take a passing interest in the MIGHTY BLADES now because of him.
Henry - Not as highly strung as he used to be but still highly strung. Seems a bit green about a lot of stuff but book smart for what he lacks in life smart. Never cross paths too much as he’s all about the politics. And films. Loves the films.
Ian - Ian is a sound man and definitely one I’d sesh with, even though we’d be mangled after two pints of some obscure 29% beer.
igor_balis - Always has good stories and I like he’s not a full of himself cock even though he seems to be doing absolutely fine at things. Probably goes over the line of being too hard on himself at times.
ItalAussie - Never liked Ital as I always found him/her to be a condescending twat, but the less he/she posts the more I think he/she brings to the place. Probably really nice but in that too nice kind of way.
Jimmy Floyd - Jimmy is probably the best poster here right now. Has a hand in everything and I find myself agreeing with him more and more, which is something I would have shuddered at a few years ago. Seems a very eloquent man but never one I feel I know all that much about at the same time, though he seems a lot more human in the last year or so. Probably down to the Korea stories, which are gold.
John - I like John, though it probably never seems like it. I call him a cunt a lot but it’s only because he is a cunt and needs to be called a cunt, but when he’s not being cartoonishly angry he’s very funny and adds a lot. Even the OTT stuff adds a lot. Is far far too serious about television series though.John Arne - Largely inoffensive. For a poster that posts a shit load I don’t really have much more to say unfortunately. He seems to be active in the mornings when I’m in early to work and dossing drinking coffee so that’s good.
Kikó - Smug twat. Not really though, and seems a nice guy, but definitely wouldn’t be the type I’d voluntarily spend any time with irl as he seems the exact opposite to me. Good poster though and good to have around.
leedsrevolution - Doesn’t post much until he’s mashed drunk and sticks up pictures of his fanny licker dog, so there’s little else to say really.
Lewis - One of the top men about the place. We wouldn’t cross paths on a massive array of subjects but he’s very quick witted and doesn’t seem to give a scaldy bollock about anything.
Magic - A nasty shite but can’t help but like him all the same. The quality has waned recently and he’s turned into a less thought out Adamski but it’s understandable. Hope one day he will look back and lol at this whole period.
Mike - Seems a bit simple but is very enthusiastic about absolutely everything. Less of a LAD than Baz and seems more level but I still can’t help but read every single post of his in the tone of the ‘brilliant’ Paul Whitehouse character from the Fast Show.
Pepe - Peep is a bit too much of a hippy for us to ever see anything the same way but there’s very little about him I could really dislike.
phonics - He’s amazing at wading in about something and being so wrong that it’s a good thing he really doesn’t give a bollix. Always here and always active but a person that always confuses me and I can never piece his background together even after all this time.
Queenslander - Posts rarely, but they’re all good. There’s only really one type of Australian that I can get on board with and he seems that type.
Raoul Duke - A massive big time charlie, though I still don’t really know if a lot of it is a put-on or not. If not then he’s without doubt the type of person I’m normally repelled by irl, though there’s still always something about him that makes him seem sound. Maybe he just has it all the bastard.
Reg - Loves the football, like mad into it, but for someone who posts a load I really know very little about him other than that. Maybe he posts a lot in other threads that I never click on.
Shindig - No idea. The name is always there and I know he posts a lot but I haven’t one fucking clue of anything that he does here.
Spikey M - Spikey da man. I find that me and him tend to agree or align on a fair few things, though he’s much less of a dour sack of shit than I am. I’d like to be more like Spikey.
Spoonsky - Couldn’t like him even if you breastfed him. Always seems really snarky and aloof, like he’s (in his own mind) absolutely owning life and anyone who doesn’t do, or want to do, things his way is just massively wrong. The type of person that needs a few harsh life lessons.
SvN - SvN is good, active in loads of threads I read and doesn’t seem to let anything go to his head too much. Another I’d probably sup a pint of porter with.
Waffdon - Substances.
wullie - King of the one liner. I know fuck all about the man but always notice when he post because it’s usually funny.
Yevrah - Only really turns up now to say how he’s disappointed in a TV series before turning up again after a while to say it wasn’t so bad after all.Just got home half drunk. This will probably be shit.
AD Probably very good at betting, if only he had more spare time after finishing his Oxford law degree.
Adamski Is a dick for what seems like banter points more often than is necessary.
Amigo I felt like we had a fair bit in common in growing up in countries we'd hadrather not have. Curious to know what he ended up doing.
Andy I've never spoken to him but Facebook enables me to know he's just got engaged. Congrats m8.
Baz Hopefully not as much of a danger as some of the stuff on here makes him out to be.
Boydy Steven Gerrard is god.
Cord The most unexpected mugshot of all time
elth R. I. P.
Giggles Possibly ahead of his time
GS Spectacularly different to any person I've ever met and unsurprisingly antagonised on here. Would be a loss even if I think he's a wanker most of the time.
Ian Good guy, even if he was a sucker for always having to defend at haxball.
Jimmy Floyd I likely disagree with him on a lot more things than not, but he's so good at conveying opinions that he mostly sounds agreeable
John I've met plenty of people like John while living in Glasgow, but never anyone that's remotely as much of a dick.
Kikó I spilled red wine down my shirt at his flat, he lent me a t-shirt and I never gave him it back. I think Kiko is the opposite of the person in that anecdote.
Magic Maybe the best poster on the new board, and I don't mean that to take the piss.
Mazuuurk Valuable poster.
Mert Valuable poster, actually
niko_cee Similar effect to Jimmy Floyd
Offshore Toon Lost the drugs I gave him at Glastonbury a few years ago, which I now realise was intentional and likely for the best.
Panda Bear One of those people with whom I probably have a fair bit in common but with whom I'm not sure I could ever have a conversation .
randomlegend League of legends is shit.
Reg Good in football threads etc.
Samadini
Shindig His posts in the jobs thread are the most beautifully mundane thing on the board, and hold strong value in how they seem to wind certain members up.
SincereTheRebel Another I hope returns
Spoonsky I do hope he's doing well.
Waffdon Some of the best football opinions on the board
Yevrah Good etc. Another with well formed opinions.AD - Decent when he posts which is never so k thx
Adamski - Adam is a good contributor - thanks.
AE - Not sure he even posts anymore. It was probably one of the greatest moments on the board him playing IRL for us all to watch and actually donning it.
Alan Shearer The 2nd - Did he used to post about cars? Don't know.
Alex - Leeds and hip hop. Or just hip hop. Why do the A's suck?
Amigo - Good guy and was a poster worth reading. Probably dead now.
Andrew - Randrew? Not sure what's going on between him and Lewis and what happened on the meet they had but I assume it was some sort of falling out over the importance of milk in modern society.
Andy - He seems happy enough on Facebook. I remember when he nearly killed himself by piling himself with lemsip, paracetamol and booze and his liver collapsed.
Sir Andy Mahowry - For someone who managed to stay mundane for years, the Ukraine camgirl story/saga/-gate was incredible. I think How has come on from the gamer chair - Ronaldo 1-0 to be an invaluable member of this place.
Angelsaint - Boring human.
Baz - His hard is in the right place with this place and he's done a lot to get us from nothing to having our own fully fledged forum. Still, I think there is a case of underhand with a lot of what he does and maybe it's a case of past weirdness that taints my current view.
Bernanke - He's great in a fleeting way. Can try a bit harder and post more.
Bob Sacamano - Nope.
Boydy - What's Boydy doing at the moment? His misery and disillusionment seemingly coincides with his posting improving.
Browning - Minimal opinion - seems ok.
bruhnaldo - The most sensitive soul ever , the term snowflake was invented for him. Not sure how he could vote for Trump considering his liberal, pinko weakness.
Byron - The Group. ByzantineByron is a nice guy but he should post more.
Charlie - His stories in <Insert name of Asian country> were great. I wonder if he's been banged up yet.
Chrissy - Stand up Scotsman? Terrible.
CJay - A nice part of the furniture.
Clunge - Great name, no clue.
Cord - Escalated to the BEST poster for a while then probably gained a life of some sort and left it to Jimmy and Lewis to own this place. Fuck sake man.
Dan - Nope.
Danny - American chinese bloke. I am sorry we never met in JAX at the time.
Dark Soldier - Steve's writing prose is brilliant when he gets going and his diet is sublime. I know he was struggling for ages but it seems like he's on track and I am happy to read it.
Davgooner - Post or gtf
Demerit
dino - I would appreciate that shirt back. Top bloke and another important member if only for his diljeet betting posts.
Disco - Disco is like the incessant ticking hand on a clock that you don't notice until it stops. Funny and is a good poster.
Dquincy - Quince works a decent job and yet was insanely thick at times / shit humoured. I like him though.
elth - Back about 7 years ago me and Elth met up in Munich. He was quieter than the brash, very smart and always right aussie on the forum. Shame he doesn't really post anymore but his life seems to be going well.
five time - Scouse bastard.
Foe - Foe seems to deliciously close to massive success but is such a Mr Bean character that he will end up dead locked inside a fridge. Really nice guy when we met though, helped TTHIRL finish 3rd in the quiz.
Giggles - Nice to see he doesn't actually think I'm that much of a bastard in this thread. I think he's an integral part of this place and his bitter cynicism is basically what TTH is. Keep it up.
Gray Fox - I know him but not enough.
GS - GS doesn't post much on here anymore which is a shame. He was infuriating for me , robo-Tory which I violently disagreed with. In THE GROUP, he's much nicer/calmer.
Hammer - Actually a bit crazy but makes for good stories like the walking from Belgium to Leeds or his constant weird consensual sex group stories. I think he killed Rushie.
Henry - What is it, two threads he posts in now? The book one and running? I suppose he has no one to argue against anymore. Shame.
hfswjyr - He's posted for 7 years and still no opinion. Seems nice.
Ian- I would meet Ian for a beer although a suggestion of peroni would probably lead to derision and he'd end up posting on here talking with giggles aka When Ian met Fandan.
igor_balis - Quite good in a self deprecating way. He's an important part of the new TTH infrastructure.
ItalAussie - Ital is a staple like me. Like me, we're a bit dull and keep coming back for the free biscuits.
Jeet
Jimmy Floyd - One of the key posters. A good chap in real life and his stories from deep in the Korean peninsula are brilliant. He really needs to get out even though it will make him 27% less boring. The cricket posts are fantastic. /
John - Another one who gets this place and is a crucial yang to others ying. Last of the classic Rangers contingent standing - Fandan, Pongo and a few others have all fucked off to let him lead the good fight against Waffle. Do we even have celtic fans here anymore?
John Arne - Very good and I like his different view on the world. Keep posting.
Josh- Nope.
Lee - Start posting and stop wasting time in the group. Lee's actually bloody interesting and he saves it for endless discussions with GS.
leedsrevolution - Another good cog to help this place continue.
Lewis - How many years in a row can you say (I haven't said anything nice about Lewis in ages) he's brilliant and is crucial for this place to even have a chance to continue into it's 4th decade? 15 years is the answer.
Luca - He's in Oz now and working himself to the bone for a consultancy. Incredible savvy and smart and really bloody nice. I've met Luca about 4-5 times and he is as genuine as they come.
Enough. I'll carry on next week.I didn't intend to write one, but procrastination from finals has reached a new level. It's too nice but that's what happens with five posters left.
7om - If Jimmy can muster up a thousand-post comedic masterpiece from working with a few Koreans in southwest London, then the least he could do is post more about life in China.
Adamski - Seems unnecessarily angry a lot of the time but at least he posts.
AE - His life seems nice on Facebook, but some inward part of me is still bitter that he never cracked the MLS.
Sir Andy Mahowry - Still prone to the odd shocker or, even worse, terrifying post about 'females', but on the whole he's good.
bruhnaldo - As though the slight American inferiority complex I held when I started posting on TTH age 13 had developed sentience and a life of its own - or had been turned into an allegorical character in the ongoing theatrical production we like to call 'The Third Half.'
Charlie - I wish he still posted, I found him completely enigmatic in an entertaining way. I guess he's settled into domestic life in Taipei.
Cord - I miss his dog more than his posting these days.
dino - One of the posters I'd be mostly like to be friends with IRL, I think.
Giggles - His antipathy towards me seems as strong as ever, but mine towards him has waned almost totally. I actually like him nowadays, and his posting is as valuable to the board as ever. I don't know if something about him changed or something about me.
GS - Not gonna lie, I miss dry politics GS getting stuck in on Brexit.
Ian - He's definitely the most likeable poster on here. I'm almost glad I never met him in Glasgow, though, because I hold a suspicion that in real life he's some 400-pound Mahow-lite. (I know Mahow is lighter than 400 pounds, but you know what I mean.)
igor_balis - Igor's the best, and his life should be an inspiration to all of us.
ItalAussie - Ital's great, but I can't help but feel that this board touches on very few of the things which interest him most. He's a great and accessible writer, so I wish he'd start a Wait But Why-style blog or something so I can see more of his thoughts on MATH and GOD.
Jimmy Floyd and Lewis - The Messi and Ronaldo of TTH (and you know which is which). They're by far the best posters on the board, and the ones who most consistently put in an effort - probably because I think the board means more to them than to anyone else. They're also, in their own way, two of the best writers I know. Although I hope that Jimmy finds a better job, and Lewis finds a job at all, TTH will be a worse place if they ever find better and more deserving uses of their time.
John - Angry John is an old and tired act, at this point, and depends far too heavily on pedantry - but John is also one of the best and most sensible posters remaining, so whatchagonnado.
John Arne - I love John Arne, and his life seems fascinating, even if he's not the Asian with the duck from that photo.
Kikó - Great poster, and has the most insightful views on ManYoo out of anyone on the board.
Magic - I actually care about him, and I'm curious what's happening in his life. I hope someday things start to look up for him (or maybe they already have).
Mert - The sad, lonely, emptiness of his life has given me a good idea of what not to do now that I'm starting my 20s. But politically he stumped us all. It's a good thing I never made that bet about Trump.
mikem - I find his thoughts on America, politically and culturally, really fascinating. Every post is worth reading whether you agree or not, and I wish there were more.
mokbull - His posting style has always been more college meme page than TTH, so I'm glad those pages now exist.
Panda Bear - Messaged me on instagram yesterday. I hope to someday meet him, somewhere in Canada, and try to confirm whether he knows what rust looks like.
Pepe - Not sure he's made a post of more than two sentences in about a year, if not his entire time here. But fuck it, it's Pepe, gotta love him anyway.
phonics - I really enjoy his posting, especially his insights into the UN.
Reg - Yep, still good.
Samadini -
Shindig - He's good. I've completely lost interest in this now.
Waffdon - My brutha. Did you know that Vim's sister goes to school in Dundee? I wonder if he's BANGED her yet.
Yevrah - Yev's the best, and the board is better the more he posts.
