Tim

There was a geophysicist from Wellington/Victoria Uni who did his PhD at ETH Zurich, and moved to Canada.

Was an interesting poster.

IIRC I found the Fern via PR circa 2002. Bartman made me a mod I think 2003? All I know is that I was about 24, sexy AF and drunk on power.

Ah, the good old days.

and now you're??.....

Much older. Bisexual. Getting paid to write historical kinky sex books and watch a lot of porn. So pretty much living my best life, although if the US and UK would calm the fuck down, so people would chill and read more books, that would be excellent.

Best. Comeback . Ever.

You’re welcome

Saw a fat bald bastard today and it reminded me. FBB!

was it Willie the Weka that did an awesome peice about a night out with some AB greats (IIRC was even better than @jegga breakfast story, which is saying something)

Was that the one where Frank Bunce told him to tell people he was Bull Allen? That was pure gold.

Then I did have my massive trolls about Ben Smith that proved to be ... ah ... somewhat wrong.

I still hate you with every inch of my being, so it kinda worked.

I recall meeting @dingo at a pre-Xmas Ferners do in 2008. He had an interesting choice of shirt, if I remember correctly.

I recall an insane guy who I want to say was dabeatdaddy posted every couple of minutes in practically every thread before imploding and presumably getting thrown off the board. It was like being hypnotised by a cobra that spat spam.

JC

@taniwharugby OK, as you were. Nothing to see here.

Yea and what happened to @aucklandwarlord story of the week?

Might be wrong but I think I remember him saying he left the Police force and moved to the States? Agree I miss his epic stories.

I think I was lurking then , his post rate was absolutely Poulsenesque .

Mojo also used to post. Has he been mentioned yet?

I caught up with him at a test match at the Basin Reserve.

We had some absolute class posters form the NH.
I rememeber meeitng Gailimh, Irish Richard , and PDP in a Irish bar in Dublin on the eve of the AB's playing a grand slam game in 2005, it is my Wifes 30th and we had a roaring night... my wife quickly got over the fact her long awaited 30th birthday evening in Dublin was crashed by a bunch of Irishman and a Frenchman that I had met online and had never seen before....
At about 11pm we got news that there had been a fire at Landsdown road and that one stand would be unavailable and tickets refunded. It was the stand the wife and I were going to. Gutted, as we were going to all 4 grand slam games, and would have been one short.
PdP stepped up and gave us one of his tickets, and I think Gailimh gave us another. Refused money, just took a guiness each.. actually I think Pdp took a whiskey..
Next afternoon we were on the terraces amongst a sea of Irish fans... BEST MATCH EVER.

Thanks TSF.

and that's the day I met the famous @Baron-Silas-Greenback

He had some epic rants . NTA has been phoning it on for a while , we are overdue a decent rant from him .

I'm now a lightweight who barely drinks at all.

> 2) Mods keep deleting my epicness for reasons I'm yet to discover.

I was cleaning out a flash drive the other day and found a screen shot of an epic post of yours, I knew it would get deleted as soon as I saw it, I'd post it but it would just get deleted again.

@No-Quarter I think I communicated with him about where to watch league on tv in the north of thailand about3 years ago Think he was on people trafficking taskforce, in which case his cover is now partially blown....

I love his work.....particularly in the boxing threads.

Don't call it a comeback! I've been here for years.
