Posters you remember / miss

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

It's hard to type and crochet at the same time.

I found out on a previous version of this thread that Hans Klopek wasn't a real poster. It was like finding out the truth about Father Christmas.

He's been mentioned already, but I miss Devs 'vinyl' Hampton's contributions to MF&TV.

Former mod and indie lover Lost Hammer as well as his sidekick Paddy the Greek.

Resident bookie Trifeca was also a top fella.

There was a bloke for a while called 'Herman the Tosser'. Don't recall what he wrote, but that username!
Another shout for Dev's Hampton. Had a few PMs with him about Alex Harvey. He knew his stuff!

"Herman the Tosser" is a reference to The Day Today:

Didn't realise that. I thought he just turned up for a bit, dropped some wisdom and disappeared.

Thanks for the info.

Hello :scarfer:

I’m still about; wandering around European countries on our massive tours.

Jinxed had some mental health issues but is back in a better frame of mind. Doubt he will ever post on here again but I do see him and gather info at times.

Chuck D is still about, albeit slightly more mature…

Laffers remains adorable as are RARS and Fionn :lover:

HD1 has had some recent health issues but is much better now and I’m sure he’ll be back to sort you lot out.

Will try and make some time to pop in when not stuffing Belgian chocolate, dancing on tables in Larnaca or getting locked in Porta loos in Lyon with Fionn…
