There was Kewcumber who adopted from abroad as a single lady, there was a mum who always talked about her son Wilf, and there was a very direct, blunt and often right woman who I think wrote with no punctuation, who seemed to be on every thread and gave me lots of harsh truths! Going back a good decade now…

Anyone know what happened to them? Anyone else you wonder about?

Came to say the same thing

Yes, same here, can barely remember my own name.

ClearFruit · 03/04/2025 07:41

I miss Pagwatch and AF.

Pumpkincozynights · 03/04/2025 07:43

Anyfucker gave very good advice.

MissGeist · 03/04/2025 07:44

Pag had a nice cottage.
Stewiegriffinsmum was a good egg.

TwigsAndBranches · 03/04/2025 08:02

Getorfmyland was very funny - especially that time she posted whilst on some kind of pain relief (didn’t she also change her bed sheets daily?!)
Atyourcervix was lovely - very soothing especially to women in early stages of labour.
Maryz and AnyFucker gave me amazing advice at separate times and changed how I saw things.
Hecate was just lovely.
Pinot was awful.

TwigsAndBranches · 03/04/2025 08:03

Pagwatch was always kind whilst being witty

Who was the person who used to post a weekly round up? Was one of the famous originals. User name is on the tip of my tongue but just can't remember.
Yes Calvin Harris' sister outed herself on here.

It came back to me. It was Aitch.

Does anyone know what happened to billy1966? She used to post regularly up until about 18 months ago.

I was going to ask this.

I think it’s good that era has gone.

The sycophancy was palpable. Posters would suck up to regulars like they were celebrities.

Still happening in their supposed absence as you can see. That's why these threads pop up every 10 business days - sycophancy needs feeding from time to time, regardless.

Clawdy · 03/04/2025 08:24

Pagwatch! That's the name I was trying to remember, she and Hullygully were friends, I think.

I miss Scottish mummy even though she was horrid to me. Looking back it was funny!

She was horrid to a lot of people and I used to wish she’d go out into the garden and smash bottles and glass against her garden wall instead of doing the equivalent in here with posters as her target.

I think many are still here but name change regularly. I have been here 15/16 years or so now. I had the same name for years then started to change it. I change my name every couple of months or so depending on how active I have been.

Yes they're probably all here namedropping their previous selves Grin

RepublicOfPirates · 03/04/2025 08:41

I'm an oldie but not a moldie, didn't get thr secret invite. Whatever happened to saggermakersbottomknocker?

MissGeist · 03/04/2025 07:39

Who was the poster who was back and forth to Sweden to care for her parents?
Custardo was fab, and gobby.
Xenia is much more chilled these days. I'm polar opposite to her (single parent, never achieved anything) but I have a lot of time for her and she does have a point.

@Xenia’s ‘point’, to dignify her screeds somewhat, appears to me to be a fundamental lack of self-knowledge, Tory politics of a particularly ‘I’m alright, Jack’ stripe, and a longtime obsession with private schooling.

RightOnTheEdge · 03/04/2025 08:45

I recognise most of the names on this thread.
Who was the one that used to reply to threads using haiku? I loved that because I'm terrible at them.

I don't really remember anyone's name now from the last few years, except a couple who do regular threads in telly addicts or the what are you up to today? ones.

Can’t believe Pagwatch and HullyGully haven’t been mentioned. They were the prefects when I joined.

Yeah, I miss Pagwatch and her house her daughter and her dog. In the early days when we all used to post photos, she posted some lovely ones of them all.

I wonder what they're all up to now??

SpringIsSpringing25 · 03/04/2025 09:30

toobigformyboobs · 03/04/2025 04:20

I can’t figure out her name, what is it, please?

Read it backwards.🤣

Rhinohides · 03/04/2025 00:37

I remember bluntnes!
For sheer sharpness tempered by humanity it would have to be Bertrand Russell.
She always had an interesting perspective and managed to have an edginess without meanness. I haven’t seen posts from her for years though think I may detect her humour in some

The last I heard of BertrandRussell was when she was trying to get her daughter out of an abusive relationship.

2shoes was lovely.

thanks you. took me back seeing my old name (wonder who you were)
Custardo and Mabs were great.

CarGirlStar · 03/04/2025 00:31

Does anyone remember the red toothbrush lady?

I think she was fleeing an abusive situation and had a very specific style of writing

@RedToothBrush herself? She was very active on Brexit threads as I remember. Also v knowledgeable. Still around occasionally I think.

Bigham · 03/04/2025 10:25

Yeah just going to say I remember Redtoothbrush being active in the Brexit board.
Also we had a chat about Ukrainian refugees once.
Agree about derekeatsshit. Name always stuck with me.
I’ve been here since 2004 but name changed a lot.

RaininSummer · 02/04/2025 22:52

Somerville's thread was lovely to follow after all her sadness. I've been here quite some time but rarely wonder where people go as on here people change names so often.

Was that the poster whose marriage broke down and then she met a lovely gardener or something who came to do some work at her house?

TheBonfireOfTheBinaries · 03/04/2025 13:20

couldn’t decide whether to tick “sensitive image” or not…that’s a question worthy of an AIBU poll I think!
