@JC said in Where are they now? (Past Ferners):
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.
I think I was lurking then , his post rate was absolutely Poulsenesque .

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 recall meeting @dingo at a pre-Xmas Ferners do in 2008. He had an interesting choice of shirt, if I remember correctly.
What was the year we had Xmas drinks? I'll always remember the year we met in the loo...

Is old mate @raznomore still around?
I love his work.....particularly in the boxing threads.
Don't call it a comeback! I've been here for years.

@taniwharugby said in Where are they now? (Past Ferners):
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 it Willie that sat behind the cartel at a super rugby game and posted the reactions to certain players? I believe it may have been a Chiefs v Blues match and Kahui v Toeava in the centres.

I think it was Bart, but Willie was with him and got "wood" when he exchanged a few words with Ted.

That same year, I think? We met at Four Kings, possibly? Or maybe the Establishment. That was a lot of nights ago. I managed to fall asleep on the train out to Ava (Lower Hutt), and woke up 6 stops later at Pomare & alighted without my wallet. Not ideal...

I hate falling asleep on the train, I half drunkenly crashed out on the way home from a canes game and when we pulled into Paraparaumu the guard said “ wake up mate , we just pulled into Napier”.

fluffybunny .That's a good kip though mate!
I have done London Bridge out to Chislehurst and woke up at Seven Oaks and then fell back asleep all the way back to London Bridge on last train. Gutted

amateurs - when choosing where to live one important consideration should always be that it is the end of a railway line
I did wake up in a Parisian marshalling yard one night and got chased by security dogs as I tried to find my way out - but at least Paris was my destination.
Lots of great memories being dredged up here. I remember joining after Brendan Telfer gave the Fern a shout out on his RS show amongst a review of kiwi sports forums.
My first post was in appreciation of a Frank Bunce comment about England. @MvJ was witheringly contemptuous of my post
Didn't he indirectly start the whole Fitness Forum when he decided to post about a New Years resolution to lose weight and started diarising his efforts?I do remember a lot of the posters here seemed very young - students or on OE etc and now they're older than I was when I joined

@jegga I could never fall asleep on a train, can barely sleep on long haul plane trips (do well if I get 2 hours on the 26 hour leg between London/Auckland)...I cant even fall asleep on the damn couch
Used to amuse me watching people sleep on the Underground though, how thier internal clock did it's job to wake them at the right stop.

I think I'd rather have my teeth pulled than catch a tube again.

I can only assume you don't drink...or enough!
The amount of times I found myself being woken up in Morden - South London was ridiculous. Nothing as comfy to sleep in as a warm underground train after 8 pints and a dodgy kebab.

I have a similar story as I did the Central line end to end. Hopped on fell asleep, got to one end, hopped on train going other way and then fell asleep again.
I would have been screwed if it wasn't a line that terminated at both ends.
I think I was going from Bank to Oxford Circus too which IIRC is only a couple of stops.
