Steve was great at Admin. Hard to support that statement. Apart from the horrible organization of the forum, he had no interest in simple upkeep. And really, all he needed to do was make a request for volunteer moderators. At one point in the Idea days he asked me to be a volunteer moderator (He was the one to bring it up). I thought about it for a day and responded that I would... then he never responded. It was so bizarre. Not that I would have been a mod at APE and he wouldn't ask me, but others would have probably stepped up if he would have just asked. The worst was probably that point when he wouldn't approve new members!. It started with auto-registration but he couldn't figure out a way to filter out spambots, so he just turned off automatic registration and new member requests just sat there for months... Maybe a full year? He was ok with me. I don't know but I think he and Andy had a falling out (Never, Andy falling out with colleagues π) Then Andy was on his own and out of his depth. Then you all left and that was that. But the interactions I had with him were fine.

Hi bimble, had a feeling you would be drawn to my latest meltdown Hope you and yours are well. π» We're doing OK, thanks don! And United have got that Old Fella back, so what's not to like? X

I can't remember which was which of the old Forums (fora?), myself: was IDEA the "classic lineup" with Stickymoan, Trentbasin, Per, Suzi, Ali, Clevedon Peer, big Thomas Walsh and all them types (as well as a couple soldiering on here)?
Have I had my soup yet? Was it nice?

It was minestrone and most of it is down your front.
Yeah that was IDEA. Andy would pop along now and again and call me a fuckwit. Oh, happy days.

Ronaldo is only on half a million quid a week after tax. But I'm sure someone will point him in the direction of the nearest food bank. After the last two United performances he might be regretting his decision.

Money aside (and it's mad what sums of cash swim around in the higher levels of football) I think and hope it's a good thing for one of the best players ever in the history of the game to return to a team he cut his teeth in/on and, as a winner and driving force, inspire a talented but currently under-achieving giant of the game. They are also the team I have supported all my life. Now I have to take time off from being serious and have a lie down. Night night! X

Speaking of soup. I lost my job at the Salvation Army soup kitchen last night. All I said was hurry up some of us have homes to go to...
Never mind, Iβm now ready to share my Grandmaβs special Gold soup recipe: first you boil the water... then add 24 Carrots.
