Slow day

To while away my lunchtime, I've had a bit of a browse around the UKRM
of the past via the google groups.

My first post was 27 Dec 1999 - my first flame was *very* shortly
after, encouraging me to bottom post and snip sigs.

It's interesting (for various levels of interesting) to pick some
names and find their first posts - I won't embarrass anyone just now,
but jeezus there were some numpties. Fair few poachers turned
gamekeepers there ...!

A relative newbie 10 May 2000. Amazingly, I've only changed my bike once since
then.

I can't find mine, as for a time in '96 I was affecting x-no-archive
for reasons I now forget.

I can find my first post here, from when I was somebody else, but it really
isn't very interesting ... not even to me.

I used a different name when I first posted, so finding me may be harder
than you thought.

 

makes me a positive newbie. 2000/03/27 and I seem to remember only
taking a look to see what gossip there was from windyfest.

You, of course, were the number one culprit that I had in mind - my
first thoughts were "what a 'kin cheek you had to flame me so
vehemently!" ;-)

 

I haven't changed my bike at all in the time I've been here. Not
quite sure what that makes me...

 

... someone who doesn't change their bike often?
