Happy anniversary to us

[AV82EC]

Bloody hell think I found this place in 1999 when I was bored at work. It’s probably been the one constant in my life ever since which is both scary and quite life affirming at the same time.

Thanks to everyone no matter the part they’ve played.

Will we be cupping each other’s slenders in celebration?

I think I found it in 1999 when I wasn't called Bad English. I didn't post much on the old 'Manila' site but when we moved to the first version of this forum I started posting a bit more but only in the Heroes Discussion bit. After a while I went into Off-Topic and the sight of all those threads on all those subjects was akin to the scene when the visitors to Jurassic Park pull up in the jeeps and see the brachiosaurus for the first time: weird yet awesome at the same time.

I've been a Golden Muppet since they started in 2007 too. That's fifteen years of Paypal to Martin. He must be wearing an Audemars Piguet and driving a Tesla by now.

H&V has given me hours of pleasure, anger, laughs, education and friends I have never met.  Thank you to all concerned.

A privilege to be a part of the H&V family. If it hadn’t been for this forum, I would have never gotten a ticket for the Cup Final, so taking away the actual football, that's a kindness I'll certainly never forget.

Congratulations to Dave and everyone who started H&V it's the best site ever like others have said it's given me hours and hours of pleasure long may it continue.

I’ve never met any of you except Drummond and Mac briefly.  How weird is that.

You poor sod. I can't think how long ago that might have been?

Well it was probably between 2006 and 2009 outside the church.  I remember referring to you as Harry and I quickly made my exit as you were already tired of that one!

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

I’ve met Drummond underneath a tree. I was expecting someone shorter 😀

[Risso]

I've met Drummond in a Liverpool pub.

My profile shows I have been a member since 2006.
I am sure i was around before then, something happened and I had to re register. I clearly remember the lead up to the Chelsea cup final
Anyway, greetings and cheers to one and all.
I well remember looking forward to the post being delivered with my latest copy, at that time sent by my late dad.

Happy birthday H&V! Relative newcomer to the forum, but been reading the articles on-off since probably close to it's launch (mid-late 90s, couldn't say exactly when).

Become my digital home after a period of being nomadic, with my old (music) forums having disappeared in the mid 2010s.

[Bad English]

I've met Drummond upstairs in the Barton's. It was after Milan Baros scored on his debut, I believe.

There were quite a few other notable names there too. Red Robbo, Amfy, Joe_c, The Weatherman, Whatever the councillor was called back then.... Disco Stu?

[Clampy]

My profile says I've been a poster since 2005 but it seems longer than that (and I'm sure it does to others as well).

I've met Dave W and he sold me 6 fanzines and I didnt even want one!

It's been emotional.

[Rigadon]

It's a brilliant site for lots of reasons - you should be really proud of it.  Long may it continue.
