Do you still do these, or has it all gone to twitter?

How's  everybody doing, is the clique still alive? Fucking TEF Clique. Dicks.

Has sippo stopped reading the daily mail? Does Sonic only post in Norwegian? Is Reg still Reg? Has Fred had an aneurism? Has JayO.... still replaced Ash as the reggae-reggae sauce supplier of choice? Has Si Pi found meaning in his life? Are Birdy and Sussex happily married? When was the last time someone posted a picture of a Manatee? Is PaulD the worst ex-trust-chairman boycotter ever? Has Ralphy got a new Honda? Is JFW still under 40? Does Samdy Grey even exist? Does STFCDave(?) still have his acoustic songs on youtube? Does Mex still encourage you to post pictures of sexy women every time there's a football tournament? Is Yeovil still here (<3)? Does Spacey want me to write something for him? Has anybody made a Sandwich recently? Does Leefer still give us awesome tales of trucking adventure? What's your favourite Cheese? How is DRS? What song would you do if you were forced to do Kareoke? Do you think that Ace of Bass were under or over-rated? Who's the best Doctor from Doctor Who (Troughton)? Have you got over the C-word being funny? Is Larwood still a girl? Does soapy tit wank still turn into soapy tit wank? Has anybody drawn a comic? What happened to DV?

Hi gang.

Oh I know it's not that late - I'll be asleep later - long two days.

Love you all.

I'm sure I've forgotten some questions.

--NMH

Is Bennett a vegetarian?

yup i'm still a homo!

Hi Ben. Are you married yet?

Do you like lentils?

I made a fish finger sandwich yesterday.

Brown bread + butter + fish fingers + LOADS of vinegar. It really was very, very good.

In typical LNT tradition, I'm drinking red wine.

Purely medicinal of course, to discourage a night of nervousness and lack of sleep ahead of my exam result tomorrow morning.

Nope. Happily living together and not having conversations about children and marriage. Probably getting to that point though.

How many do you have now Sam (kids not wives)? Two? The eldest must be able to talk and stuff now! I remember when you were drunkenly throwing your wedding ring across town whilst I was trying not to be fucked on speed. Those were the days.

they're ok...

I'm also on the wine, happily have the evening off work. Can't all you fuckers (by which I mean people in general) have your Christmas get-togethers in February when we're quiet?

I make a really good lentil casserole with bacon, chorizo and black pudding. Fucking lovely.

I found a job and am thus not having mid-week binges anymore.

Yep, two. The oldest will be three in February.

I still remember that night clearly, despite being extremely drunk. Times change.

Fish finger sandwiches need a nice home made mayo, maybe flavoured with a bit of sweet paprika. Nom.

Nah. Just tons of vinegar.

I'm amazed (that you remember it clearly). Good night. Although looking back, you ended up happily married with a lovely wife, and I ended up passing out and shitting myself in an alley. I think you might have won.

:sad-face:

Has Nils ever come back? I want do know how priesthood works.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I'm glad I remember it, because I had the best make up sex ever when I got home.

Ja, jeg snakker bare norsk nå. Jeg spiste et smørbrød i dag kveld faktisk, første gang siden jeg var i England. Kylling, smøreost, paprika og majones og det var utrolig fantastisk.

Jeg savner deg Ben. Det høres bra ut at du har jobb og kjæreste.

What sort of bread was it in? Bread is the most important part of a sandwich, after the filling.

Yes

Can you link me to a video of you playing some tunes? If you do then I'll upload a song.(or recycle)

Loff.

Do any of you still drink in the Merlin? Or has that stopped happening now?

It's called a loaf.

I go in Sir Dans with Jayo, MarkyTee, Iffy's Onion Bhaji and others. I think everyone else stopped going to football or drink in the Legends Lounge

what's football?

The legends lounge. Fucking hell. Where winners are barred and everybody else goes to die.

Think I'd prefer to sit on my Bobby Howe memorial bench and drink myself to death on cheap vodka. I'd still miss the game. Protesting as ever.

There's a link in my signáture. Trade for a trade

It's a disease which effects your heel. The back of your foot gets inflamed. It's quite rare, but not unheard of in shepherds.

Holy shit, you've gone from your old shity myspace to being not bad. How did that happen?

Keep going more Bon Iver and less Ed Sheeran though you ginger .........

I guess I have to find something now.

e: When's your album out, I'll buy a copy. Is mex still about? You could persuade him to start up a record label.

Aww. thx. Ed sheerans a knobhead.

Yeah

He's just had a kidney transplant. Do you not even check in to Facebook anymore?

I feel proud that I have finally 'arrived' on the TEF, having received an honourable mention in the last 3 letters of your post!

Well, Fred and herthab are pretty much OAPs now. They fit right in.

FWIW, I miss you Ben. You and I are the only remaining refuseniks, except you managed to free yourself from the TEF as well. No more talk of sandwiches and manatees, it's all circular arguments about PdC and the Adver, and painfully basic requests for simple DIY help. If the gf dumps you, we're not too proud to take you back.  :kiss:

Nah, Since I moved in my girlfriend I've barely had internet, checking facebook is something I've had to let go.

That's great news that he got one!

Hope it's all going ok, and if any of you see him give him my best.

Wooowa, not so fast RF. This is a new Ben, one with a job and a girlfriend and who only occasionally drinks. What if he turns out like Fun Bobby off of friends. Note the FB link. We may not want him back if he's sober.

i much preferred it when he'd set himself on fire at football

I apolagise for not being about, but as above internet is not a priority for me at the moment.

Don't want to talk about football, but you do all need more manatee sandwich threads.

Fun Fact: Whale Milk is really fatty. Like salty cream. Ahem.

I've turned into everything I hate. Nearly. I still drink too much.


I just remember birdy asking if I could smell burning and a weird heat round my ankles. You're not allowed to smoke in the townend anymore. People are missing out.

Looking back I should claim the self-immolation as a protest against the dodgy club ownership at the time. Although, if I'm honest, I've never cared that much about football.

I've just watched an old Men Behaving Badly episode (they're all old, yes) where Tony grows up, gets boring, grows a tache and starts working as a postman.  And Lesley Ash (pre-trout pout, but still looking a bit too mumsy...always thought that was a rubbish piece of casting) stops wanting to have sex with him.

I now realise that the programme - and Tony's rite of passage from youthful nonchalence to middle age - was simply a metaphor for what's happened to every bugger on here (me included) since FB stopped living here full time.  Art immitating life.  Or something.

So Ben leaving fucked us all over. Cheers Ben.

This post is the best post ever made on the townend.

The argument works - we have all got old and rubbish. But then you wouldn't have had the inspiration to make it if you haven't been watching a repeat of Men Behaving Badly - which you'd only do if you were getting old and your life has got a bit boring.

It's like a self-referencing reference.

Doesn't mean you are right though.

My life has got more exciting since I stopped posting on here. I now have a job and a girlfriend. Fuck knows how the rest of you adjusted people ever find the time.

What do you do?

I'm sort of a chef.

Noiice.

This always reminds me of Ben....not sure if he even posted it.

I'm back in 2001 all over again. I think I might have posted it once or twice in response to someone posting something that we'd all already seen.

I think that sentence makes sense.

Are you still a student Dave? You must be getting towards your last year if you are?

I often reminisce about the days when we used to get pissed and shave Ben's head whilst listening to Sub Sub.

Twice I've had TEF related head shavings. Never again. I don't love you all enough anymore.

Where's axs?

*Christmas dinner chat*

What are you all having?

Got married and knocked up.

It better be sandwiches or I'll eat your pets.

Nah, graduated in the summer. Doing CRM and sales reporting stuff for a lorry company now until something better comes up. Bed time now, see you when the world ends

Sounds dull as fuck, but in the current climate I guess a job is a job. I know I'd like something where I could be sat down.

Good luck with it all anyway.

I am drinking cider

True Story: I had many pints of cider earlier tonight.

We're drinking buddies.

Is this the cause of the thread Ben?  :beers:

Did you get the lipstick out?

Nah, just boredom and internet access, and nostalgia.

Also, this might sound weird, but since I stopped writing a few hundred words on here every day, my use of written down English has suffered. A while ago I was pretty confident I could write a novel, now I get confused by the word but...

It's been fun, I might pop in again soon. In the mean time remember the game I made you....

And have a happy christmas x x xx x x x x x x

Bye Ben, have a good un

Thanks for stopping by.  Nice little thread this one.  Come back soon!

I feel like i've missed out as I was in the pub whilst this thread was happening...

Eugh definitely feeling worse for wear

Fuck, edit post

So this is what being old is all about, reminiscing over things that weren't even that good. Thank god I'm young!

Have to admit the Julian Alsop game is good.

I'm still about - Paul Hart and that seasons seemed to drain all the passion out of me as far as STFC goes and in truth its never really returned. I thought i'd miss it but I really dont.

Similar for the TEF. I still read and post from time to time but it just seems a but mongy, a bit thisis these days. Everything seems very repetitive and people seem to be moaning for the sake of it. In particular with regards to Paolo and the media.

I've also just finished a nice 10 hour shift at the Royal Mail outhouse (as featured in yesterdays adver) trying to get people mostly from India who cant read, write or speak any english to accurate read addresses and accurately sort packets based on this. Like pulling teeth.

The Julian Alsopp game!  I'd forgotten all about it.  Brilliant.

Dv is right there are too many moaners on here. Come back more often Dv we need more balance :)

I'll moan with the best of them when there is something to moan about.

Football is about winning. Everything else is fucking pointless. Di Canio can come out in the press and call me a cunt every single day of the week and twice on sundays if he keeps getting results.

Do you still play in goal Ben with a bottle of red in hand?

Still working on that one mate

My grumpiness knows no bounds now

I think I am turning into Reg

 :(

ha ha ha ha

Happy Days
