    Sorry About The Twenty Year Absence

    I think we last saw each other around 2002.

    What’s going on with you?

    I remember the name but I can't remember anything about you - although did you have a Dr. House avatar, or was that someone else? I guess the board archivists will be along soon to fill in the background.

    Excellent thread title

    Lewis will be along shortly to remind you of posts you don't even remember making.

    I want to say ginner was a bit of a lefty/quite political back in the mists of time, so I can only hope this return is similar to Chinny's [triumphant return] before whichever election he stood in.

    On the subject of triumphant returns, I'm not sure 8am on a Sunday morning is the time to be getting much fanfare.

    Welcome back! [you can never leave]

    That rings a bell.

    Amazing how many names of old are still here in the Members List - I’d have assumed more attrition to the demands and responsibilities of real life/Twitter.

    I think my most notable legacy was to be the original starter of the Shameful Lustage forever-thread. I still fancy Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

    I did once have a dalliance with the Liberal Democrats. Age has however made me deeply cynical, quite a bit richer, and a lot more ungovernable.

    Given the current zeitgeist, how concerned are you about being embroiled into a ginner/Glinner controversy and forced to spend your time trolling Mumsnet about transformers, JK Rowling, chicks with dicks etc.?

    Well I wasn't about to know sort of thing was being posted in the OG version of that thread but a) Sophie Ellis-Bextor definitely isn't shameful and b) the spirit of the thread has definitely been maintained. Some people on here have inexplicable taste.

    @James "won" that thread a while ago and I'm not sure this place has got over the emotional scarring

    Like the ones with pics of his girlfriend holding a piece of paper with ginner scrawled on.

    Hello. What have you been up to?
    I'm a twit

    Clearly libel/I have no recollection but did have some fit girlfriends.

    I have a wife and two kids now. Absolutely no chance of her agreeing to that.

    Surely it wasn't 2002 either as I remember you and I joined 03. You probably gave up in 04/05.

    I remember and I joined in 2005. Pretty sure you were around in like 2010 when people thought the Lib Dems were good?

    That sounds like a difficult period that we’d all prefer to forget
