I know a lot of us have had past (and ongoing) differences, but that all becomes irrelevant at times like this.

Who's missing?

Reg? Legends Lounge?

DMR  :/

I am missing the pub.

And the opportunity to go out for a delightful fish supper.

Sir Red Ken hasn’t been around for a while but I suspect one pint may be him in disguise.

Both logged in this afternoon

I just had a quick look at the list of users. I’m 12th in the most prolific of posters, pointless fact fans!

That’s good news (assuming it’s then and not their kidnappers!). They have been quieter posting wise than usual.

Nothing football related to complain about

Aside from the fact there is none?

This is going to be probably a unique opinion but I’m really not missing football at the moment. Not really sure why!

I am. I'm desperate for some normality. It's going to be a long time before that happens though.

There are many seasons when I would have agreed with you.  Not this year.  It's been a blast so far and our players and management deserve to win the title.  Which they will.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m really enjoying this season, as you say the football has been tremendous. For me I suppose it’s at times like these that, for me at least, football really doesn’t matter one iota. I do realise that it’s a massive escape from the daily grind and it would be huge relief for millions if they could get their 2 hour a week fix but at the moment I’m just not getting that urge for football yet. I’m sure that won’t last of course!!

I watched marbles race down a beach for my sports fix the other day. I miss it's lot.

yes in the grand scheme of things right now it's not important, but you need these things in life

I have to admit I am REALLY missing football at the moment, would be a welcome get away from the other shit going on.

I want my regular routine back, just as I started looking forward to watching Town play again this happens!

I miss football far more than I do the pub or eating out or even going to theatres etc which I do a fair bit.

Get your fix here.

I get your point, of course.  But a release that football provides would be very welcome for me right now.  I can only imagine the release the NHS staff must need!

So Bart Griemink and Junior Lewis are accounted for.

I know reg has logged in but it's VERY unlike him to not have something to say. Can anybody check in on him?

do we know Regs real name?

I think Ben knows him personally.

Not really. Enough to say hello if I see him out.

ah right. He's best bet then.

in other news I did read Mike Wilks, very active around the diamandis dark days, has had a very big heart attack and was fighting for his life.  

Keep fighting...

Maybe those who are particularly concerned can do some home visits on the vulnerable forum members.

I went litter picking this morning.

I know Reg's son. Hes fine

I picked up some shopping for the old and infirm earlier today but I don't like to talk about it.

excellent

I think I saw mention that Reg attended Leicester University. I did my LLB there. Always keen to ensure that my fellow alumni are ok.

did that used to be a poly?

De Montfort was the poly in Leicester.

I went there too. Not-that-fun-fact - Gary Lineker got an honorary degree while I was there

Had 3 great years in Leicester. Mark Morrison used to frequent  Krystals at the time. Saw Martin Johnson a few times in Asda in Oadby and watched Zeljko Kalac excel for the foxes what I seem to recall was a midweek cup game

Mmm, Gary Lineker received said honorary degree in the same ceremony as me, I think he still talks about it now.

Sounds like you and JZB were there in the early 90s then?
I wore my Town shirt in to Uni in the days after we beat Leicester at Wembley. Not my wisest move ...

You or the Ceremony ?.

Can we please keep this on topic?

I trust we'll all agree it's important.

I also went to Leicester Uni. Remember the paternoster?!

That's a no, then?

94 to 97

I recall having a go on this although I understand it has since been replaced

Just fuck off and start another thread / pm each other / get a room

Hey ease off a touch, it's not a huge derailment and everyone has their own way of dealing with things. In the grand scheme of things, someone posting something random might make another come on and post. So consider that angle.

Remember, you may be an admin Flashheart but you don't own the place. I think sometimes people feel like they can't post what they want and your responses can be all high and mighty at times. It is a wonder why lurkers don't comment or guests don't bother signing up.

I get what you're trying to achieve and it's important. Yup JBZ has been all over the forum like a cheap suit but he's only mentioned something relative to Reg. Plus, it might just be his way of coping at this time but no, shall we all play to your drum?

Btw, evidently. I'm still here being an annoying fucker  :soapy tit wank:

Thanks for the very kind sentiments.

For once, you make some interesting points. I agree that there is a tendency for a few to regard this forum as their own.  Also, thread derailment is a subjective concept.

Yes, I have been posting regularly over the last couple of days. My posts are largely on topic and I am not an advocate of deliberate trolling and attention seeking. Let's worry about other stuff, eh?

In times passed, thread derailment was a hallmark of the TEF.

What?

I don't think that I could have asked any more politely you fucking melt.

It's ironic that you single out a particular person as well because I had no individual in mind. Now, just move the fuck along would ya?

Guys let’s keep it nice huh?

Is it a sign of the times that this little thread went downhill rapidly?  :hmmm:

I think it’s fair to assume that FH was definitely bullied at school!

Bless.

The irony of some of the comments.

Well there's one that's checked in.

Never checked out TBF. Just look in now and then but as I have a large number on ignore there is not much to hold my interest, especially as there is no football.

As one of those you're ignoring so I guess you probably won't see it, but anyway, I'm glad you're OK FWIW. Stay safe

Never really understood the need to ignore certain members. It doesn't take much effort to just skip any posts that you are unlikely to find interesting or amusing.
