    Eden Hazard, never knew if the posts were serious or messing but I enjoyed them.

    Brummytom, for similar reasons

    Forgot all about Brummytom!

    enniscorthy & Degsy were 2 others I remember. Different style posters, but very entertaining.

    TheMadChef is another one. She got dogs' abuse in The Thunderdome, and she gave it, but moments after you called her all sorts of blue epithets, she'd be PMing you asking if you had a nice weekend or whether you'd like to come to a boards meet-up or something.

    On a similar topic, pretty sure I saw Bronte swigging from a bottle of 2019 Merlot on a park bench in Camden recently. The Theatre is a cruel industry, and I expect that "Italian" of hers has his residence visa by now.

    She was so nice it'd make you feel bad for acting the cnut.

    Dudess has already been mentioned, she was another sound one. The Minister was an intelligent guy, although I seem to remember he was in the Progressive Democrats, which tarnishes him. Probably a backbench FGer by now, I think he frequented politics.ie also.

    If they are, they don't seem to be as belligerent as 'back in the day"...

    10 years is a long time although I don't think anyone was truly belligerent.

    That's the one!!

    I'd only have to see his name come up and steam would come out my ears.

    very sexist undercurrent to his posts.

    Yeah, that Frada guy was a real jerk alright. Think he and javaboy were the same guy actually. Sad.

    Dudess was a dude (of course).

    And the Thunderdome crew were basically a bunch o' lads who were in their thirties in their twenties.

    Still, at least you knew where you stood with that lot unlike the modern day snowflakes who close and reopen accounts more often than a Fianna Fáil finance minister.

    Dude were you ever in a private forum here?

    Apologies if I've got the wrong guy, but I'm pretty sure I was in the same private forum as you when you, I and those people you mention were talking about some very personal things and you never once raised an issue with any of the folks you mention. Apologies if I've got the wrong user, he wasn't particularly memorable.

    That was him. He brightened up any thread he appeared in.:D

    Also, The Citizen. His thing was to throw in the odd post about being some sort of vigelante ridding the streets of 'scum'.

    Sounds like he was an oddball, but everyone loved him!
