Any favourites bring a smile
For me it was anon,John Bull,Den Kernewick and Mr W's skeleton xylophone post.....all this was once fields you know

For me, it was the original, the one and only Trench Fell Inn. So many lovely people, it amost felt as if one knew them personally, a real community grew up around it.

Also... Sorry but there was also, Tony's Helmet and SAAS!! Great inventive nonsense.

'Steffs Stones'lecture,nuff said

Thinking about it, there was far more archaeology discussed in those days than there is now, even when a series is running, F1 was more vibrant than it ever is here, trolls and all, they all added to the interest and diversity of what was F1...

Ah, the good ole days!!

The Brands Hatch GP in 1977 was the best that I know of!

I loved all the alternative lyrics posted by MIM, Hobbit etc. I think I still have a few of them stored in the depths of my PC somewhere...

And Washy having an argument with himself in the guise of ?? Moonbeam (can't remember the first name)!

It has to be the Shark/Fish debate!

Mangelwurzel? (Well, I'm not sure about the spelling!)

Any discussion contributed to by Historyman.

And we had a better class of troll in those days!

Teech - I always thought he was also mr. w. Whoever he-she was, they certainly tore me to shreds once or twice.

There were some old names from the T.F.I too - hows about AndyMac and Amy? Where's the serving staff nowadays, the likes of Joanne? Did they retire?

Jo is alive and well and I think posting on the friendly forum and MA.

Hopski (aka Steve H on F1)

OK. Shoot me down for being a dumb newbie but what is F1?

F1 (Forum 1) was the forerunner to this Forum. No-one had to register and it was very lightly moderated, so it all became a bit like the Trences of the Somme at times, but it was all good fun!

I Thought that might be the case! Ta. Is it me or is this forum quite heavily policed?

Try substituting quite for extremely!!

Now that's done it, Eileen, I bet this thread won't be here tomorrow!

Which would be a shame its one of the best here.

Hopski Whats MA then?

I rather liked "Pointless Postings" and the "It Wasn't Me" thread.

And I liked the 'frame' system - for us technophobes it made switching from thread to thread, and finding your place in the longer ones, much easier. Also you could keep track as things only changed colour once you'd read them, so if you visited the forum but didn't catch up with everything you didn't have to rack your brains as to whether you'd read something or not!

And it was certainly much livelier! Remember the cornish troll? S/He was always good value...

**And** there was an alternative url which allowed you to read it minus adverts!!!

(Shouldn't have got me started on this one...)

The legendary Jowan. A short stay before exile, but good value nonetheless!

One of them was actually a real person

I lurked on the old forum briefly before the format changed - it was certainly more lively than this place has become.

I remember a very funny thread about haggisi and their natural history which I printed off in its entirety and posted on the wall of my prison cell - I mean my workstation....
