Festive 2017 WDYTOE

[Magic]

I'd like to have Tobe, Dela, Taz and PB back, others couldn't give a fuck about imo

[Pleb]

Add @Don to the list of ones that are sorely missed.

That was Taz wasn't it?

He must of had a right seethe when he first saw this place.

[Giggles]

That was Taz wasn't it?

He must of had a right seethe when he first saw this place.

He threw a bitch episode about his name here and was never seen again.

I forgot about dust as well. So it's @Toby, @Don, Fry, and Angeldust and the rest can stay fucked off.

[Baz]

Yeah Taz should definitely come back.

He’s on Facebook but you can’t send him a friend request for some reason.
@SincereTheRebel should text him

[Jimmy Floyd]

Reading through 'Play Your Heart Out' there, it strikes me that that thread is equidistant in time from today, and from Christmas 1986.

[Giggles]

I always seen it mentioned but I never knew what that Play Your Heart..... thing was. Seema more pointless than most things.

[phonics]

If I'm correct. TTH's existence is closer to the first Beatles album than it is today.

[Giggles]

Also, is it supposed to be said to the tune of 'Get yer tits out for the lads'? Because that's how I always say it in my head.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If I'm correct. TTH's existence is closer to the first Beatles album than it is today.

You are not even close to being correct.

[Giggles]

If I'm correct. TTH's existence is closer to the first Beatles album than it is today.

Did you think Jimmy meant that thread was from 1986?

[Jimmy Floyd]

To 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 Spoiler

Adamski 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.

[igor_balis]

Despite not being on here, this nostalgia-fest has got me all wistful for the days before the normies took over the internet.

[randomlegend]

I'm not sure what's wrong with telling you you're wrong when you're wrong. I wouldn't want you to keep being wrong.

I'm sure you'd tell me I'm wrong if I came in the politics threads being wrong everywhere.

"Quality control", innit.

[mugbull]

Chill out Jim Jim

[Samadini]

Is being a horse a good thing? And is that class as in I'm a really good horse, or like the classroom horse? And is that a good thing (probably not)?

I'm going to say it's a good thing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's a horse racing term, i.e. 'Monty's Gonads is the class horse in this field'. It means you're good and not shit.

[Samadini]

I quite like the idea of there being a classroom horse.

[Boydy]

Meanie.

[Magic]

Jimmy still seething at the paedo jab.

[Pleb]

I made the list

Chris Jericho must be having a meltdown if he were to ever come across this thread.

[Kikó]

Not being shit is acceptable.

[Offshore Toon]

I'm nowhere near growing up. I think at 30 I might give it a shot, but only if I want children.

[Pen]

This thread has been great. Feels good to revel in nostalgia. And we have our first list too. Didn’t think that would happen.

[Queenslander]

If it wasn't for this board Id be just another convict Australian walking around humming 'Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi!'

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

You can still be the man you were born to be.

[Queenslander]

[Giggles]

I've started and done a whole two entries, but I'm too drunk to use the keyboard on the tablet and the editing is driving me mad.

[Lewis]

The classiest man to come out of Brisbane is Mr Fourex.

[Giggles]

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.

[-james-]

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.

[Baz]

Bloody hell Franco loves TTH.

EDIT: all the lists!

I don’t understand why people think I’m a secret murderer though.

[Waffdon]

You do look a bit rapey, tbf. x

[Waffdon]

When the fuck did Cord put a mugshot up?

[Queenslander]

The classiest man to come out of Brisbane is Mr Fourex.

Millennials have ruined XXXX by calling it Milton Mangos.

[Dave.]

Oimoi is probably running a Blairite think tank by now.

Martin still posts as Dave.

Correct (quite possibly on both counts).

For some reason (I'm guessing due to lending my account to Harold Bishop a while back), my account was deleted but there was nothing in Room 101 mentioning why so I created this account so I could pop in and post when I'm bored at work.

I don't post about Sunderland because I don't have the time to do it justice plus writing about the current state of affairs would depress me. I still go to every home game plus the occasional away.

[Henry]

I went to see Sunderland play a few weeks ago. I like the club but they are utter shit right now.

[ItalAussie]

Glad you're still about, Martin.

Also just did a quick check on ScousePig, as I couldn't remember if he'd posted in a while - he's still about, which is nice.

I've really quite enjoyed this thread. Nostalgia.

I also agree with the assessment that Jimmy's the best poster here right at this moment.

[Spikey M]

That’s Giggles and James in the ‘dead to me’ list.

[Giggles]

That’s Giggles and James in the ‘dead to me’ list.

I'm not finished.

[Giggles]

Though I could well be.

[Adamski]

The Group

Ive never spoken to anyone from this forum anywhere but this forum you mentalist.

[Spikey M]

I'm not finished.

I want an entry, damnit.

Although I’m not doing a list so you’ll get nothing in return.

[Giggles]

The Group

Ive never spoken to anyone from this forum anywhere but this forum you mentalist.

Aye I forgot you bought the new gaff. That can be time consuming.

[Baz]

Reckon @Lee still browses?

[-james-]

Went to read that list back and the first thing that met the eye was that I said Magic is the best poster on the board. I must have been spiked.

[Kikó]

We have no Scottish in the group.

[Spikey M]

Do you have it in your power to end the group Keeks?

As in close it, not demand some kind of mass suicide. Although you would make quite the Cult leader.

[Giggles]

We have no Scottish in the group.

GS practically is.

[Magic]

Went to read that list back and the first thing that met the eye was that I said Magic is the best poster on the board. I must have been spiked.

You can have your account back now m8

[randomlegend]

Do a list Magic.
