How many posters on this forum do you know in real life?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

What was the front of her like?

Take a look at the photo

She was cute

[dandywarhol]

None but in reality it's, likely quite a, few post around you where your, sat in the, stadium

[Michael Morris]

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.

[Toadstool]

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

[Eric the Half a Bee]

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.

[Wales-Bales]

Literally

Hope everyone on here is well and coping with these crazy times

Some have contracted cabin fever, but I won't mention any names

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

That's the spirit Mike

[Enoch Mort]

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

[MOZZER2]

i joined in 1999

met quite a few over the years and sadly a few not with us anymore

[Mrs Steve R]

My father-in-law died last Monday.
But yours is a lovely thought...

Yes, sorry to hear that, we spoke about it, remember?

[blue matt]

I remembered, I also met up with a few of here before a Ian Brown gig in the uni many years ago, was a bloke who was mates ( on here ) with earnies trim trabbs ( they were both trainer collectors, something i dabbled in a little ) i forget his name, jeepers or something like that ? ? ?

It was perfectly innocuous, I wasn't pretending to be him!

[blue matt]

talking of people from the past

been bugging me for a while now this one

He was a road sweeper driver from Barry, had a accident when a metal gate swung open and crushed him in his little road sweeper, He was also a part time plumber ( i worked with him on a building site about 30 years ago now ) last i saw him was a game down in swindon

i hope he is still around

Sorry to hear about that, my thoughts are with you and your family.

[Cyclops]

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.

[Des Parrot]

Back to the original post, must be around 10 give or take a couple. Like Mozzer I joined in '99, when Moggis used to give away goodies for guessing the crowd

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?

Jesus christ the poor bastard , it must have been 8 hours of utter tedium

[Brisbane CCFC]

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.

[light up the darkness]

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

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Savage.

[Jimmy the Jock]

I have met quite a few. A number of people introduce themselves now and again.

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 ? Can you do me a web page Mike?
