Hi,

What with the recent reappearence of some old users, the thought occurs that the site's veteran old timers ought to return and restore the essential balance that we enjoyed in the good old days.

Too many strangers, unnacustom to our local ways have arrived since the opening of new road!

To that end, where are Meerschaum, Glaucus, FluffyMcDeath, Bobson, KennyR (controversial :lol:), The_Editor, that_punk_guy (not veteran in the chronological sense perhaps, but certainly missed), Kent, Kees, Coder, Vortexau and many other old favourites?

I know some of these guys are active on aw.net of course, but the days of bickering over platform choices are hopefully long gone.

Then there are the 'still here but have little time'. I'm looking at you, Mr. Quist, Mr. Parsons etc ;-)

Just setting the record straight on a few unsettled issues my dear brother. :)

Try Quorn. It's basically granulated fart that you reconstitute by allowing it to mix with your stomach juices.


This statement still holds true, I discovered recently.

Shouldn't the Buddhist mdma be re-incarnating these threads?

even though he's probably studying Hinduism or Taoism now.

And so the cycle begins, seems to run parallel with northern winters ;) A handful of the older members pop in for a cameo appearance and then disappear again.

Like a yearly roll-call, seeing how many of us haven't popped our cloggs yet :lol:

That depends on how do you define "active". Wayne still posts from time to time and he created the place. You can't get more first past the post than that.

Speaking of old members, I drew a blank trying to find what happened  to T_Bone, especially with him being one of the winners of the recent premium membership give-away. He's not posted on any of the main amiga forums for years. Everybody I've asked seems to have some faded recollection of either an accident or poor health. I hope the guy's OK :(

As far as I can recall, he was in rather poor health, if you are up for it, a bit of digging you may find a post where he claimed to be posting from a hospital workstation and had been in hospital for quite a while. You may also be able to find a post where he claimed to drink something like 2 litres or Coca-cola a day. Either way, I miss his antics :(

I dunno, a few more nightshifts like Saturday's and you might well have to add me to the list.

Only ever felt cold like it once before and it's not a comparison I make lightly.

You need some thermals to put on under your work clothes.

Ordered two pairs of these.

Was seriously considering the full survival suit, but didn't have enough on the card to go that far (I'll top it up later and get it then no doubt) :D

Well even a pair of thermal leggings like those should make a noticeable difference. Also, put a long-sleeve t-shirt on under your proper shirt and wear something over the top.
