Edit: I remember shamelessly blowing my own trumpet when I ran the New York marathon in 1999 so I'd guess at least 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff9of13 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think I was hanging around as a "lurker" around 2000, but I don't think I started posting until 2001-2.

ckn Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Who was it who had the right diva strop about cliques on the forum and why no-one would reply to him/her/it? That was legendary, maybe not Ace but certainly legendary.

tonyXIII Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Shakes head and orders another kilo of wine. In a universe full of imponderables, alcohol is my rock. Mind you, reality is merely an illusion caused by alcohol deficiency. More wine, waiter! And a side order of crayfish, marbled or not.
