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

Expatinscotland is fine, or was, when I last had lunch with her. It's almost 8 years since her dd1 died. I'm sure she'd be glad to be missed!

Who was the poster who was very helpful to expat when her dd was ill, I think she lived in Partick but she didn't have kids?

selfishteenagers · 13/06/2020 23:01

Was it giraffe something ? I remember did she sometimes update threads for expat ?

I'd really like to know that HooraySunshine is ok after the hell she was going through with her neighbours.

ssd · 13/06/2020 23:03

Yes, ilovegiraffes I think she was called, she seemed lovely.

BettaSplenden · 13/06/2020 23:05

I often wonder about hooraysunshine too

Hassled · 13/06/2020 23:05

I think of MartianBishop still - she was lovely, and very sadly lost her DH. Such a nice woman. I hope she's ok.
Someone mentioned Claig - back when I had the strength to post on the politics topics Claig used to drive me nuts. But in a nice, challenging way. We were polar opposites but had the odd laugh. It feels like that wouldn't happen these days.

ssd · 13/06/2020 23:06

Yes maybe it was just giraffe

Isn't sgb still here?

TheFormerPorpentiaScamander · 13/06/2020 23:06

Who was the poster who's DD had died and was Leona Lewis's (?) Aunt?

I don't think it was Leona Lewis but cant for the life of me think if any other singers Grin

selfishteenagers · 13/06/2020 23:06

Another poster I haven’t seen in a while is mrsdevere she always seemed nice

WorraLiberty is around, she was on a thread the other day. ChaosTrulyReigns occasionally pops in too, I saw her post recently.

Several of the others mentioned have name changed and are still around.

haverhill · 13/06/2020 23:08

I remember one called Ormirion who seemed a sensible type.

SebandAlice · 13/06/2020 23:09

Catthiefkeith some of her threads were hilarious. So sad that she passed away so young.
Bandagesandbiscuits, the doctor with a newborn baby who was diagnosed with cancer. I will never forget the fear she had on her last night at home that she would never be back there again. Sadly she was right. Her threads are still on here. She was so brave and she pops into my head from time to time.

Herdwick · 13/06/2020 23:09

mrsdevere banned I think. For early on crimes against wrongthink. Might be wrong.

TheFormerPorpentiaScamander · 13/06/2020 23:10

Oh I think Mrsdevere is who I was thinking of. She always seemed lovely.

QuentinQuarantino · 13/06/2020 23:10

Bonsoir - last time I saw her mentioned it was in reference to her being very unwell. I hope she's ok.

BitofFun - there's a poster currently with this name but they don't seem anything like the old BoF so I don't know.

SolidGoldBrass - had so many valid things to say but was SO superior and enlightened that it totally undermined her points.

In my mind, Marmalade/Bupcakes/Reality/Bluntness are all the same poster.

Could never bear EatShitDerek and the fawning over her. The threads where she would pretend to be pissed and spell everything wrong were cringe-inducing.

Was it Cod who had the thread about how at a size 14 they were so fat that they couldn't wipe their own arse?? That one always stuck in my mind 🤔.

ssd · 13/06/2020 23:10

Mrsdevere and maryz were lovely, why did they go?

SebandAlice · 13/06/2020 23:10

Sorry it was biscuitsandbandages

0blio · 13/06/2020 23:12

@TheSummerHolidaysMakeMeCrazy Shiney was outed and all her posts deleted. I miss her craziness, she was genuinely funny.

Cognitoergosometimes. She was fab and I still miss her😢

coffeeandmuffin · 13/06/2020 23:13

CogitoErgitoSometines was always very measured and kind

haverhill · 13/06/2020 23:13

Oh I remember Cod too, she was properly fawned over.
