One of Mel B's many catchphrases on the GENIUS programme that is Bo Selecta.

"She's posh as FOOK, I'm common as MOOK!"

I wanted to see how my computer looked from the inside...

Wrong thread sorry - my user name is homage to one Ted E. Bare - a puppet of the great David Strassman!

[binky]

OK.
I've gone a bit over the top there and killed the thread.
Disregard everything I've said about computer names.

My name is Binky. I am DEATH's horse.

Of all the games I saw in the Glory Years of the mid/late seventies, the one against Walsall when we scored 7 goals in the second half stands out.

It was PISSING down, and Mullery sent the players back out after only a couple of minutes in the changing rooms, so poor had the first half been.

We scored all 7 in the secound half in the South stand. Great. Only I was in my usual spot half way back, just to the right in the North Stand.

The goalscorers that wonderful evening were as per my username.

As an aside, wern't evening games in the 70s BRILLIANT - who else remembers the Ipswich League Cup game and the Derby game too?

[Gully]

Mine is as homage to the mascot we used to have at the Goldstone, I kept posting on here how we should get a replacement...lo and behold, it finally happened. Have changed my name slightly to reflect where I was living at the time I posted, started as McGully in Edinburgh then Van der Gully in the Netherlands and finally just plain Gully when I found my current perch in glorious Gloucestershire.

You have a modem server? What do you do with it in this day and age?

We have one (well, 4, actually...) in work for claims transmissions from pharmacies using the antique versions of our software but I've not seen one outside of work in YEARS.
