Re: How many posters on this forum do you know in real life?
There was a time that if anyone posted about Cardiff City on the internet, posted on here or the mailing list.
Before social media, and before people created their own boards.

I knew Forever Blue back in the day but haven’t seen him for about 2 or 3 years

Re: How many posters on this forum do you know in real life?
Many may not realise that I met the future Mrs Half a Bee through this messageboard. Funnily enough over a love of music and dislike of rugby.
I've got to know Mike and NigelBlues quite well, both great guys. In the early days of the trust when I lived in Canton I met a few of the posters involved at the time, like TLG, Since 62 etc. I supply Sludge with a discreet rubber doll cleaning and repair service. I have met a few other posters when out and about.
This messageboard, and a chance bit of info, saw me kindle a good relationship for a while with the Lord Caliburn, sadly no longer with us. A fantastic gent with dubious singing credentials, I am still good friends with his son. I have still yet to meet the legend that is TOBW.

I used to post as Sam Hammam when he first came to the club, until you blocked my account (or banned me!)

I’ve met TOBW, Since62, Bingethinking, Cyncoed Slumdog, Cowbridge Blue and I have also met, albeit briefly, Taunton Blue Genie and Sloop Jon Bee. Neil McEvoy posted on here a couple of times in the dim and distant past and I have “encountered” him

Appreciated.
Virus victim aged 96. Didn't stand a chance. Hospice nurse attended the whole of his last two nights. Wonderful, selfless service!
Lock-down meant we were unable to visit for a fortnight.
Kick in teeth: lived in social housing. Immediately after death notified, benefits stopped and rent charged at £125 a week. Can't clear house as tips closed, so the meter ticks indefinitely....but there are ways and ways round it...
A genuine gentle man who it was a privilege to have as a f-in-law.

I remember my first meeting with you - we ended up sitting next to each other on the bus to a long midweek away trip. Sunderland I think?

Re: How many posters on this forum do you know in real life?
I met a few people on here in the late 90s like Royston Blue, Nigelblues, Mike M, Steve Day, Steve Borley, Matt Gabb and a few others. I was the year below Goats in school.

Re: How many posters on this forum do you know in real life?
I don’t think I know anyone on this or the other board. Daresay if I saw people f2f I might recognise/remember them.
I did meet a guy for beer in Ho Chi Minh City in 2013/4 who used to post on here occasionally but that’s it I’m sad to say

I get my cars fixed at Jimmy's, live over the road from another poster and have met lots of others via meet ups, 1927 club outings, mailing list meet ups and Trust meetings.
I'm going to post a few pics in separate posts below from two meet ups we had in 2005 and 2006
You forget you look after our IT as well ? :thumbup:Can you do me a web page Mike?
