AWOL hitchers...add yours

Oi {where's the black eye icon con} LOL What are you trying to say? You are seeing me being restrained. I nearly set myself a challenge the other day of mentioning DT/Hamlet in every thread I replied to, but decided it/I might not be too popular LOL.

Orly. Tis me (Mrs) KJB. I was reborn at Easter 2007 with a new name.

? We love them really.

I remember someone called 'marrying Albert' ( I think), she was a bit rude. Sorry if you're still here!

Gucci Girl - think she went travelling ...

I miss stonehenge. I had a wee bit of a crush on him, he was a very fine looking fella. ?

Hi Mrs Magic

I'm very good thank you. I got a 'proper' job in January, and then got promoted, so I haven't been hitching as much, being a manager and all, although I've just rearranged my office so I face the door now (and therefore my PC monitor can't be seen)??

I do lurk occasionally, but very rarely post, and still haven't got used to the 'new' hitched.

It always seems really slow as well when I'm on - not like the good old days.

Edited to say MrsM that with the new feature of the join date showing, you joined one year to the day before me

I think I must have been a lurker for ages now as no-one remembered me ☹️

S'pose thats what you get for keeping ️?️ though!

She was logged in a minute ago! On the front page where it lists all of the online members...

She had a 'remember me' thread on here yesterday. And one on WP - with a sphincter clenchingly awful response from someone who didn't know about her BSL / english posting style.

? @ KJX "sphincter-clenchingly awful". I haven't seen the comment in question, but I can well imagine.

Confession - I think it might have been me who made Jim69 change his name - I followed him round planning one evening with my christmas name account with the name changed to "Grim69" offering exactly what he had just offered at a stupidly small price and in a cockney market-trader style.

The next day his name was changed...

?

FOAD ?

I am glad Sanrio is still around. I hope she is ok. I remember in the middle of one of her episodes I gave her my number to call and we had a nice long chat. Yes she was TMI, but I think she had a very kind nature.

Bru - Loon.

I don't come onto OT very often but I've had some real blasts from the past with this thread.

ItGirlNo1- junkie mum who'd got addicted because she was counselling addicts and wanted to see what it was like for them! I seem to recall lots of hitchers offering her stationery so she could write to her mum in prison!

Sugaducky- made up a story about H having some fab job. Posted someone else's scan pictures because she'd "lost" hers, then went sledging on a tea tray, then had a m/c and no one knew whether to believe her or not.

Sanrio- me and her had THE biggest bust up when I remembered something she'd said (about me being ugly!) several months earlier. She tried to deny it because I'd been nice to her since but I got properly riled for the only time.

Bellybee- i remember her being slated for wearing one of those shirts with a jumper attached and her hair loose at her new job. She was gutted because she'd deliberately dressed smartly!

I don't know if she's here under a different name but I often wonder about the hitcher who had various name changes- Lady Estelle/Mrs CSK/ Mrs Charlie Scott-King/Jaffa Cake/ Chocolate Queen. She was the Sanrio of her day, immature and ill informed. However she matured over the years and stopped being contraversial. I remember giving her career advice when she could no longer be a chef after a back injury. She was a very sweet person and I'd like to know what happened to her.

She still posts often, I think her name is Koshka now.

There are some real blasts from the pasts. The Sweetie etc threads were just when I joined. I remember the whole drug addict husband saga. It sounded really dreadful.

Who was the glamour model hitcher? Emma sth maybe? didn't she meet somebody, have a very romantic proposal then disappear?

She's registered as Koshka now PFL, posts quite a lot still.

I was one of the few who got on with Fizzy Fox, she was another who had a lot of problems, and really didnt deal with them well. I do miss mushypeabrain - is anyone still in contact with her?

Wasn't that kiansmummy/km/phoebe buffay/christina walters?

Indeed. I think she is on hiatus (no broadband), but could well return.

i believe it was. wasnt 'albert' a type of plane or something?

she was most put out when i said kiansmummy was the twee-est name ever. and when i said christina walters was a murderer, because apparently its also the name of a character in a film or something ?

Correction - she has been back for a while.

Phoebe Buffay has been back a few times lately. She was sometimes rude, but she took a heap of unnecessary stick too.

Chocolate Queen is Koshka, she pops up when she wants to leave another job needs advice about jobs and stuff.

No-one remembers me ☹️

Perhaps I could come back as some-one new and maybe not lurk so much <hopeful>

I'll throw something at you in a minute. You posted this on page 10 too.

You're not really a prolific poster are you? If you lurk all the time how do you expect people to remember you?

Fuck a duck.

If thats the kind of reaction I get when I'm posting on here after a while then I'm shocked really.

So what if I posted earlier? I know I havent been on here in a long time but I just wondered if there was maybe anyone who might have remembered me,

Obviously not!

Emma Lou?

Well quite ?. To be fair to Holio, if a 10,000+ poster came on then there's a fair chance that people might remember them. With barely 1,500 posts to your name, it's not all that much to go by especially when there's a prominent poster called Pikasue.

Why are you shocked? You were clearly being needy and looking for affirmation of some sort, can you not just join in without having a pity party?

I was reminded of Lady Zith, when her name was posted on the "hitchers you have met" thread.

I'm always wary of mentioning names, in case they are still here with a new username!

I am curious to know what happened to Lorean, Sweetie and the other kleeky people. I must admit, it was early on in my hitching days, so I did become a bit of a voyeur of their chats. Esther something or other was one, and I know she popped up on another forum I visit a while back.

I usually don't spot people have left until they reappear again, or when people post things like this ?

It was the neediness, I think. Posting "No one remembers me {weep} or whatever, in the hopes someone will pop up and go "yes, I do, you're that brilliant girl I spoke with about dresses 3 years ago" is a bit sad, thassall.

Posting it twice made you look like an attention whore, that's all.

Needy and looking for affirmation of some sort? I dont think so!

How about, not been on here in ages, just wanting to see if anyone remembered me,( which obviously no-one does) So thats ok I have been gone a long time, I just thought it was worth a shot that was all,

Thanks for your kind words

Think of it this way. You have been a member since 2002 and going by your post count it means you post on average 4 posts a week. That sort of effort doesn't even make it onto BGB's spreadsheet.

Who was Gazpachodragon(sp) ? Was she the one who flounced after people didn't understand that 'gaming is a way of life' dontcha know ?

I thouht maybe pikachu had been victim to one of those double posting blip things, but obviously not as they say different things ?

Yup, Gazpachodragon flounced on account of how we didn't understand that criticising someone's husband spending all his time playing PS2 when his wife was struggling with a newborn was the same as racism.

I miss Gazpachodragon. She had funky kitchen ideas and was generally really nice. I never saw the flounce

L
xx

i liked soupy too. i think there was a bit more behind the <flounce> than just the 'gaming is a lifestyle' thing, i heard that someone had hurt her feelings on BT by saying she wasn't a 'regular' so couldn't contribute to child related threads ☹️

plus i've seen plenty of people getting arsey about others making sweeping statements about cyclists/men/joggers/wedding planners/FFers and so on that i'm surprised she got so much scorn tbh
