It’s about time we had a ‘first’ on the thread that wouldn’t (quite) die. Good work Obama.

Shorey should ask for a loan back to Reading, I reckon.

A couple more things, Puff:

I looked at the Shorey DFence league….Is Yer Dad = “Paul” and Alex = “Donna”?

I see that you’re on 1,349 points, well done….I’m on 1,304….so very close, but I see that you have solid depth on the bench, while I always have junk on the bench at the 2nd & 3rd extra spots. I’m gonna fix that.

Out.

I set a bookmark on the Shorey page, but I have forgotten to check back in here lately.

Thanks for the comments by Puff & Steve & Dad…..So true that there are some weird Posters on the site now, but ultimately that traffic is a great tribute to Mark.

I see that you three have been putting out a few comments lately on the regular daily activity.

No word from the Nec for quite a while. I hope he’s doing well. I really like the song “Hey Oh (Snow)” by the RHCP, thanks to him. Awesome song.

Yer Dad….I’m in Boston, so I hope your trip to the West Coast is fun. Only come to Boston if you want to freeze and meet cool people.

I cannot join any of your mini-leagues because my main rival is following my team page very closely (he keeps an eye on my transfer count every day), so I cannot bring him onto this site yet.

I was kicking arse for the first few months (got up to #18 in the US){although that probably means I was only ahead of 3 people}, but now I’ve dropped back.

And what is your real relationship with Fair Alex, Puff? Any chance that there will be a real wedding some day, in addition to our fake one here?

I’m sure we’ll all be back on this thread in the Summertime when Puff threatens us again.

Later.

Hmm, almost forgot about Shorey – rather like Villa have.

I don’t think they let over-70s into the US anymore – Barack wants his country to be young and virile, Pops.

44″ TV, you say? I’m not sure I’d be happy seeing a giant Richard Keys looming up at me. But I won’t turn it down if I manage to stay ahead.

Decided to revisit the Shorey thread tonight and have a little re-read. In the Shorey League Puffin is running away with it and is in line for the prize of 44inch panasonic tv. He is on fire this season and deserves his Pope title.
I will be in USA at the end of March if The Nec or Mighty are reading this. I have a trip planned to West Coast and my surfing needs a few pointers, so I if I get past US customs, I will expect a lesson Nec.

Merry Christmas Mark & guys, hope you all do well over this busy festive period. I’m not quite such old timers as you guys, but did get involved early last season when there only seemed to be a handful of regular posters, unlike these days when hundreds of people pretend to be someone else so they can insult each other.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Alex, Mighty One, The Nec, Old Gregg and anyone else from the Shorey days.

Oh, and Yer Dad too. Use that wildcard wisely, Glasshopper.

And a big thanks and well done to Mark for the net’s premier FF site.

It does mean London, TMO, though I think only mockney gangsters and Jamie Oliver (and me) are dumb enough to still use the phrase.

No sign of The Nec or the Fair Alex on here these days, though I did meet up with the latter a few weeks ago. The poor girl was forced to suffer my attempts at a roast chicken dinner. I felt bad cooking a fellow bird, let me assure you.

So, how’s fantasy football treating you this season? At time of writing I’m about 60 pts ahead of Yer Dad in the Shorey Up the Defence League, and 2,600th overall in FPL.

Ta-ra.

Great to hear from you Puff! After not seeing your comments much this year, Yer Dad briefly supposed that you might actually be yanking all of our chains by being this Fran person, and trying to torture us all with your wit.

We were sure though that you wouldn’t do that to us.

By the way, with us Americanos you cannot use the word “Smoke” without explaining the meaning….I don’t understand references like that: Does it simply mean London? I’m coming along, but slowly, I know.

Take care buddy.

I guess that is exactly what the Shorey thread is: a Donation Box…..and of course it is also a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner restaurant, and a meeting lounge after a hard day’s FPL-ing.

I remember when the site used to run sooooo slowly.

Respect to Mark for all his hard work.

You should set up a donation box
