Hi guys
After a house move after being in the same house for six years, I uncovered loads of my old Amiga stuff in boxes (I haven't powered one up in all that time either!). And I thought that I would need to shift some of it, but also would like to have a tinker again. My thoughts led me to here, a place I remember being really friendly.
I would like to ask:
a)Is X-ray still here? I found a claim form for Royal Mail while I was clearing out - It jogged my memory about six years or more ago I sold three external floppy drives to x-ray for 20 something pounds. THey got lost in the post so I started filing a claim with Royal Mail but then didn't send back an original of the receipt after I had done so first time round with a photocopy. I'd like to send him an apology and a cheque for 30 pounds to cover the cost of the drives.
b)Could I please have some help from the Amiga community in getting some of my Amigas up and running? I really, honestly cannot remember a *thing* about them. I have boxes and boxes in a lockup storage unit and have moved to a tiny room in a tiny house, so it will be a long drawn out process getting things out one by one.
c)Who else is still about (actually I'm sure I will find this out after I start browsing the site). Are these guys still here (don't get offended if I forgot anyone, its been six years!): Odin, Karlos, Speelgoedmannetje, Methuselas, Wilse, Bloodline, TheMagicM, loads more I will soon remember if they are still here. And how about the trolls - CU_Amiga and DoomMaster???
Anyway, just typing this post makes me feel good to be back!! I look forward to catching up with people!
Regards,
Adam

Oh and Ads, Cecilia, Blobrana and that friendly Scottish guy whose name I can't remember!!
Are you all still here??
-
I'm sorry, i've never heard of you mate. Have we met? :confused:
Doomy got banned... :(
But everyone else you mentioned is still here :)

Long time no speak Adam, welcome back!
Hope you are well, I seem to remember you had plans to move to France but my memory isn't what it used to be. :)

Nik! Sorry, how could I forget mdma! You do have a great memory (despite the mdma obviously :p) - I did go and live in France for a bit, and I plan to move there again at the end of this year / beginning of next. I fondly remember some of the good old convos we used to have on here.
Actually, I seem to remember a put down you used with someone in a heated discussion - "I slept with my wife to be last night, have a nice wank you loser?". Have all the discussions about Bush and Iraq etc died down now? Talking of which, are T_bone and FluffyMcDeath still about??

I said that? :lol: Sorry for that!
The coffee house forum is moribund these days sadly. Not seen or heard from Fluffy nor T_Bone for years. :(

You've just changed your sig, but I too enjoy being teetotal and lecturing others on the evils of drink too! :)
-
Im pretty sure I started one of the arguments of the coffee house about Iraq by talking about the film the three kings lol
How are you not seen you around in a long time. Cant remember any specifc convos we might have had in last 11 years but bound to have been some

Welcome back, feller!
Myself, Odin, Speel, Bloodline, Cecilia, Adz, Nik, Whabang, XRay and a fair few others are still all here. Wilse is still around over on whyzzat but doesn't tend to post here much these days.

What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here. This is a local forum, for local people.

Hi Plaz,
Thanks for the welcome. It all comes flooding back now! Didn't your avatar used to be the pink panther playing a sax? Funny how you remember little details like that (assuming I have remembered correctly!).

Hi Khephren, another name I remember! Thanks for the welcome. I'm on my way up to sunny Northants later this afternoon to see my folks as it happens!

Hey Speel! LONG time. I guess I also got busy with my career which is why I stopped posting on here (and stopped using the Amigas). I remember who the 'friendly Scottish guy' was (as well as Wilse), it was Vincent.
By the way, does anyone know what happened to KennyR? I remember he was banned / stopped posting here quite a while before I stopped posting...
Cheers

Welcome back. Kenny can be found in the outlands of MooBunny. He won't return :)

You are correct, good memory. Now if I could only remember why I changed. :)

Some have made other sites there prefered homes, but not left completely.
Looks like KennyR (or someone with the same nick) is hanging out at Morphzone.org these days. Have you seem Amigans.net yet? I don't think that was around at your last visit and you may find some other old-timers there too.

Don't know how I missed this thread...Holy shit dude, I can't believe I missed your big return :(

Welcome back!
I feel like I'm gate crashing a school reunion! :-)

Vincent posts on here every once in a blue moon :)

Morphzone or moobunny are your best bet. And yes, he's still the same lovable mobius strip or hate that he always was :D
