Johnnyboy, I'm touched. Although some mates may argue I'm not as horizontal as I may seem! But needless to say I'm proud to share particular attributes.

And Sput, as you said, there really is only one way to find out ;)

As for everyone else, I'm gonna have to think about this, and make sure I don't miss anyone out. Plus, for more selfish reasons, I'm rather tired and need some shut-eye!

I'm nice...honest. :lol:

I think by now I have met an unhealthy amount of people from the forum...but all enjoyable...cat being the best of course, it was wonderful having him stuck for words. Bliss.

And if not, well I'll continue to post random crap. :)
Hey! Don't I count!
Oh yea, forgot about you. Well ok I have one friend. But even you are slipping away. We haven't spoken for almost a week! You don't know about my latest designs and I don't know whether you've been lying in any more roads. You use to keep me in order, I've been mixing with people you wouldn't approve of, I've even thought about going back to my former passion... drink >>shock!<<

To be honest, I thought people would like me and not just my mocks.. but I was wrong and and and *sniff* I just don't know what to do anymore *cries* Is there a psychiatrist about?

:roll: Er, I mean yes Bail, you do count. I remember the first time we spoke. Well the FIRST first time we spoke was when you asked me to redesign your logo, but I made a mess of it. Months later we somehow began to speak to each other about random and pointless stuff that seemed to make sense to only us. That or you've been taking the piss out of me all this time, which is probably more likely!

I remember the topics of conversation. We discussed everything from what could be beyond space, to metrosexuality. We even tried to explain nothingness. But however much I upset you by saying awful terrible things like "the BBC News theme is crap", I'm still glad you're there :oops:

Now can someone wheel me back to the random thread please? Anyone? :(

Oh Mark, you little darling ;)

It's funny actually - as has already been said, it's quite weird that people round here kinda feel like "mates". Odd because I've not met that many of you, although now I think of it, I have met a fair few...

nodnirG karM - met up for drinks in Ealing and what a plesant evening that was

rts - just happened to be in the vacinity, so we met up to say hello. He's surprisingly softly and well spoken, don't you know

Ison - although I've never actually met the chap, I feel like I have a thousand times. James, some of your posts have made me laugh out loud.


I wouldn't mind meeting more people out of sheer curiosity as to what people are like in "real" life.

It's funny - I used to post a lot more in The Lounge, especially when it was part of TVF. I still miss those days, it somehow just seemed like more, well, fun!

I touched upon this last night, but wanted to apply some proper thought.

Aston - A genuinely lovely, selfless bloke. I get the feeling that he tries his upmost to turn any obstacles into opportunities. An ambitious high achiever, what with his adventures in China, and now at the BBC. Very kindly lent me some of his time for a chat and a mooch around Childrens while as was across the building in News.

Mark - Without doubt one of the more genuine members. Does not feel he has to put on an act to impress others. Someone with good morals and interest in the world at large. This is apparent from Zope, one of the websites Mark is involved with.

Ison - We've both had are ups and downs, but more ups I'd like to think. A sensitive bloke who has strong ambitions for the future. Never misses an opportunity to have a joke on someone else's behalf, but (most of the time) can take a joke on his own. Without doubt a strong foundation to the forums.

Jamez - Wales' homebred Essex boy in my opinion! With a large ego and libido, there is not a lot which will stop Jamez getting what he wants! Definately attributes which will, I'm sure, get him far in life, although possibly getting a few backs up along the way ;)

James Martin - Well the bloke has no shame really, does he. And being able to take a barrage of jokes aimed at him without faltering, he is certainly someone who does, and will continue to bring a ridiculous amount of humour, and mild irritation, to countless individuals!

Lee - Without doubt one of the most talented graphic designers I have ever come across. Always putting other people in front of himself, whatever personal urgencies he may have. Plus with a wicked, dry, and filthy sense of humour, he's always one to make me chuckle, as well as satisfy me. With his design work...

Johnnyboy - A very intellectual person, who tends to observe a situation for sometime before commenting, rarely (if ever) jumping in with brash and immediate assumptions. Gives people an opportunity, but is brutally honest when needs be, a quality I admire. Although people can strongly disagree with him on occasions, I believe he is someone a lot of members hold in high regard, and respect a lot.

Gavin - Quite similar to Johnnyboy in some ways funnily enough. A clever bloke, who knows what he's on about, Gavin also makes his opinions known when needs be. But equally respectable as Johnnyboy.

DAS - For sometime I was not sure about, DAS, but I've warmed to him considerably over the past year. From what I first thought was buffoonery, DAS' subtle wit mixed with his intelligence and stances on some matters make him someone who certainly keeps the site alive and active.

Hyma - Similar to DAS with his sense of humour, but occasionally tries too hard to stir things up to create a discussion/conflict, and can come across as just simply belligerent. But, most of the time, you know where you stand with him, and a lot of what he says being tongue and cheek, Hyma is also a member who gives the site an additional twist, making threads that little bit more interesting...

That's probably *the* most accurate description of me I've ever heard! Fantastic.

All I need now is some chav clothes and a souped up Corsa and I'm 'sorted like, innit bruv!' ;) :lol:


---

I have a few people on here who I admire greatly, and most of them have mentioned me previously in this thread, so it's nice to know that my thoughts on other people here are reciprocated!

I won't go naming individuals, but I'm sure you know who I like and dislike on here - mentioning no names *COUGH* Chris Kelly *COUGH*. ;)

Apart from him, there's no one on here I dislike. Yes, I know I love to rip the piss out of James Martin & Lee Stanley, but as they both know I'm only ever being playful. No malice intended! :)

Afterthought:

Reading the previous two pages, the language used is very similar to that your teachers would use on the last day of secondary school (minus the rendition of Tina Turner's 'Simply the best', which blared out at 5000 db!).

We're not going anywhere, I'm certainly not going anywhere - and all these speeches about other people is making me think that the end is nigh! :roll:

Credit where it's due Jamez, you've steered clear of the Burberry, lol.

Yes, I usually go for the 'hetro gay' look these days. Somehow, I don't think I've completely pulled this look off though... :lol:

God. That would have been about four years ago, wouldn't it?

I have matured somewhat since then.

I don't recall being stuck for words. In fact, I don't really remember anything apart from walking straight past you at a train station.

I do remember thinking ''I never want to visit Birmingham again''.

Other than that, yes, it was great.
