Dave L Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I see that 2007 marks the tenth aniversary of this forum in its various guises. That's almost a fifth of my life I've wasted on here. I wonder what the most often repeated thread title has been? There are quite a few that seem to have cropped up with depressing regularity.Ward/Lennartson/Fawthrop/Wilson/Tinnion/Johnson/Davidson/Laycock/Lansdown* out (*delete as applicable)Give us back the East EndAttendance on SaturdayDisgrace to the ShirtTrouble after the MatchNew Striker?I also started thinking about some of my favourite posters down the years, some of whom sadly no longer post; not necessarily ones I always agree with, but vital, must-read contributors all the same who have made me laugh, nod in agreement and seethe with rage in equal measure. So here they are, in no particular order and with apologies to anyone I've forgotten about: Kustard, BTR_FTG, Godzilla, Tomarse/Tom F, Edson, Red Top, Richie B, Neo, Red Goblin, Potbelly, Malone FM, Cidergliders, Bristol Boy, Madger, Red Un, Red M, Badger, Nibor, Robbored and no doubt many others, some of whom will no doubt add to this thread by asking why I didn't include them.

Guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Kustard, whatever happened to him?He was a she I think you'll find I relised sometime in December that it was coming up to ten years. It's a shame its not quite how it used to be, but thats just a reflection on the way the web has changed in the past 10 years too. At least people haven't made themselves a career from this forum... bugger, best get my coat then..The old forum archives can still be found lurking here:http://old.otib.co.uk/I have some really really old ones too, going back to 1998, which I could dig out if anyones really really wanting to read them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 10 years? Makes me wonder what it'll be like in 10 years time... Will we still be wanting the Eastend? Will we still be without a left winger/fit goal scorer? How much will the pies be??? :noexpression: And MrL, you aren't as prolific as you once were, the demise of the forum is all your fault!!!

OC 1645 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yes, what ever happened to BTR_FTG?One of the most insightful and eloquent posters ever to grace this forum.I've got to agree with Big Nose on that, BTR_FTG really was eloquent in all matters BCFC and highly intelligent. Whatever happened to him/her? DaveL, did you write part of the script for the last episode of the Doctor Who spin off series 'Torchwood'? Twas great to see 3 russet coated soldiers of His Most Republican Excellency - Oliver Cromwell - coming through a time warp to the present day. Then they started taking shots with their muskets at the Royalist Gestapo Police - excellent stuff. Couldn't have written it better myself.

The Jam's version of "David Watts" from 1978 reminds me of City in the top flight and me wondering how the hell I was going to get a girlfriend as I had so many spots. For all the young lads reading this - listen to the Jam's version of David Watts - it really is a timeless classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dazzler Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Ray Davies also wrote "Stop your Sobbing" and "I go to Sleep" which were hits for the Pretenders. He was also married to Chrissie Hynde. Then she married Jim Kerr, who didn't write any hits for the Pretenders. But she had "Breakfast in Bed" with UB40.
