Stages of Forumitis

[HonaloochieB]

Fine work Moos. I shall keep a copy to monitor my symptoms.

[dulwichmum]

Fine work indeed Moos, I have a selection of crushes on Mr Mockney, Sean (sigh) MacGabhann, Mr Keef, darling Michael - Batdog (swoon) and Mark!

[Michael Palaeologus]

There is a lot of swearing on this thread - are standards slipping? Are we dumbing down?

Poo Bum Willy people! Get a grip!

Everybody has a crush on Mockney with his gentle ways, soulful brown eyes, dark Iberian looks ......

Are they called "one-thread wonders" ? Where are you now, Gykell?

[????]

Moos - I've got a horrible feeling I'm settling down with a pipe. For example, I find Brendan one of the funniest posters on here nowadays and am half tempted to come to the drinks and have a pint and a chat with Sean...

...I only have a crush on Mockney's football team

[Moos]

What swearing, Michael? I don't get it..

[Michael Palaeologus]

I will not sully my finger tips with such smut.

[KalamityKel]

Hahahaha bollox! :p

[SteveT]

It has never stopped you before Michael;-)

[dulwichmum]

Indeed Mr Popadopalot - I hate to think of your fingers sullied with smut...

[Michael Palaeologus]

I wear surgical gloves DM. That feeling of latex on skin, ooooooooooooooooooh .............

[SteveT]

Latex is a potent cymbal michael, but not in my opinion, to be given the same credibility, weight, or success as oral;-)

[dulwichmum]

Darling Michael, surgical gloves for picking your nose dear heart? Gosh, you really are frightfully thorough!

SteveT, I think that you need a cup of milkey tea and a cold bath. Shame on the pair of you.

[SimonM]

Forum "made guy" = an individual (of either/any gender) who hijacks an ED thread and gets it lounged....

"retired brickie from Penge" = worst disguise in the world.

"Lovers of the Beautiful Game" = supporters of Sheffield United, all London clubs except Chelsea

"Lowlife scum" = supporters of Chelski, Merde United and any Yorkshire football club except Sheffield United.....>:D<

[SeanMacGabhann]

I like SimonM more with each post he makes

[Moos]

No, no, don't bring football into this.............(aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

[SteveT]

I must try to tone things down, dulwichmum I beg your very pardon;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm not sure what stage we reached on this one but the latest stage is:

Having other forumites, who's existince you were blissfully unaware of just a few months ago, persuade you to take part in the ED Road Run - despite knowing for a fact you will be violently ill

[citizenED]

That level is beyond any level of ordinary help; in hospital they'd hang a label on you saying "do not resuscitate"

[Keef]

That does sound like the strain that gets to the brain and reaks havoc on the general common sense area.

[bignumber5]

Where does it fit when you have met forumites several times in person but have trouble referring to them by their real name?!

seanmac, don't take it personally, but your number is stored in my mobile with seanmac in brackets after it. When I say hello to keef, I say "hello keef". And a number of you have now been dubbed realname-forumname, as if your forum name was simply an unfortunate surname!

[david_carnell]

See, I was just forward thinking in my name choice!

[SeanMacGabhann]

seanmac is absolutely fine - I've been called that by some people since my teens and twenties anyway so it's no biggy

I refuse to refer to you as bignumber5 in real life tho..

[KalamityKel]

I'm having great difficulties accepting being called KalamityKel or KK offline... I don't mean to be rude if I ignore ya it just doesn't click with me. Especially if I don't recognise ya :-$ Kel works fine :p

[mockney piers]

I do now answer to mockers and I can't decide whether I like that or that's just too weird.
