Old posters you sometimes think of

I was wondering today about a few old posters that either left or I haven’t seen in ages
Riven , eatshitderek (i think that’s what the username was) and another one I can’t remember the full name ghost something who was in temp accommodation I think ?
Does anyone else ever wonder about posters they dont see anymore

She loved us all really Grin

magimedi · 15/06/2020 22:00

@OhTheRoses

Oh Quint I miss Quint. Still have her business card :). SarahandQuack is that really you - the you who came to a last minute piss-up nr Waterloo organised by the one and only HeartsTrumpDiamonds?
If it's the one I think it was I must have met you, Roses. I met SGB & the lovely Fru - who I think, very sadly, is no longer with us.

And does anyone remember DOG - who had a terrible accident falling of her horse??

BoysAreLikeDogs · 15/06/2020 22:00

Well look the bat signal went up so here is the Prangles Thread.

OhTheRoses · 15/06/2020 22:08

Oh no. I knew I hadn't seen her for a while but I didn't know Fru had passed. Fru and her fluorescent flip flops. What happened?

I may have met you magimedi trying to place. I remember Mrs Schadenfreude was there that night and NeedMoreSleep I think and a lovely lady who I ran with for the last train. Was that you? Or perhaps a bigger meet-up? The Frankwhippery ones?

Chicchicchicchiclana · 15/06/2020 22:10

Oh no about Fru!?

BIWI · 15/06/2020 22:10

BALD! Hello! How are you?

BooseysMom · 15/06/2020 22:16

Orchid?..i think she started the 40+ ttc thread a few years ago. I posted a few times checking if she was ok but never had a response

magimedi · 15/06/2020 22:17

OhTheRoses - It was a lunch time meet up, & now I think about it it was closer to Victoria than Waterloo & we all ended up in some pub that had Camel in its name. BBB was there, she may remember it & Bruno!!

MuthaClucker · 15/06/2020 22:19

Wasn't there some FrankWippery scandal, she was Pinot-something first?

SarahAndQuack · 15/06/2020 22:21

@magimedi, am I remembering wrongly, or was she not D0G? She had a zero in the middle, not the letter o? I didn't know she'd had an accident. Sad

@BoysAreLikeDogs, your thread is making me remember names (my memory has been destroyed by the toddler). toccataandfudge was the first person who chatted to me on here when I first joined in about 2009, though she won't remember.

I remember @bitterandtwistedchoredodger - I loved that name. And @baratricobama. I am so envious of people who're good at names.

That thread has also (purely coincidentally) made me remember bloody Pan, and what an annoying little tosspot he always was, always being annoyed posters weren't more charmed by his manly ways.

Redhair23 · 15/06/2020 22:21

What? I loved frankwippery, no idea about any scandel.

ScribblyGum · 15/06/2020 22:26

Aw GetOrf and BariatricObama are both on the prangles thread too [super nostalgia]

NoWordForFluffy · 15/06/2020 22:28

Did D0g have more than one horse accident? Or another accident not a huge length of time after the first one? I might be misremembering. I wasn't getting much sleep in those days!

ScribblyGum · 15/06/2020 22:30

OMG I just had a FLASH of remembrance about MotherInferior. Another genius poster.

SarahAndQuack · 15/06/2020 22:34

@motherinferior was lovely.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 15/06/2020 22:34

I remember a very tragic post from D0G about a pony drowning in the sea.

Jkslays · 15/06/2020 22:39

There was a poster about seven years ago who had gone in to a women’s refuge to escape her physically abusive husband, she ended up having a breakdown because he’d ground her down so much and the husband took the kids whilst she was admitted to hospital. She was posting at that particular point as he wouldn’t bring them up to see her. It was heart breaking. I asked about her a short while later and another poster told me she had sadly taken her life.

I always think about that lady.

OhTheRoses · 15/06/2020 22:40

Slightly different meet-up Magimedi but I think I was at that one but only briefly.

I had forgotten entirely about scandal. And am sorry that's been raked up. I am convinced it was utter boileaux.

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 15/06/2020 22:49

@selfishteenagers
Yes worraliberty is a name I haven’t seen in a while

Sure I've seen worra post a few times lately, so definitely still around

@Ernieshere
Maryz.
I think Maryz was banned? Not sure what for though so could be wrong and apologies if so

Names I remember that I haven't seen for ages are EatShitDerek and BupcakesandCunting (or something like that lol)

ArriettyJones · 15/06/2020 22:51

I think Maryz went of her volition (and had all her posts deleted) for reasons connected to a family issue. I hope she’s okay. She was solid wisdom.

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 15/06/2020 22:54

@CurtainWitcher
Riven. Remember when she was in the press?

I remember that. Can't remember exactly what for (think disabled child, apologies if wrong?)
I remember as I recall a thread on here all about "get tweeting all the celebs, make it happen, get it trending!" etc and then when journos did pick up on it and run with it a lot of same posters went "OMG don't, what's it doing in the paper, make it stop" Confused

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 15/06/2020 22:56

OH OK, apologies then, thought I'd read had been banned but must be thinking of someone else if so.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 15/06/2020 22:59

Does anyone else remember marriedinwhite? Totally opposite views to mine but enjoyed her posts.

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 15/06/2020 23:01

@LadyEloise
@EmpressLangCleginChair
Why was Maryz banned ?

See, I commented before reading this one, thought as much!
Feminism board related I believe

TheCanterburyWhales · 15/06/2020 23:01

Worra is still very much here.

The Riven incident involved David Cameron going round and PosieParker wanting to go round with a pie to see him.
