This is hardly in the spirit of Auld Lang Syne, but... As an only occasional poster but avid lurker/reader since 2008 (0.154 posts per day apparently) I come on here less and less, thanks in no small part to the seemingly endless shite posted by two particular forum members, one of whom is alleged to be a banned returner. Their Intellectually challenged stream-of-unconsciousness written pollution - think Fabricant & Dorries in claret and blue scarves - is such that if I cannot be fooked to wade through it why on earth should the *real* lifers - BE and others - be expected to?H&V has for so long had an atmosphere of fraternal/sororal conviviality that has proven time again to be a safe place for me and others. Yet I've pretty much had it as things stand.I wish all who read this a HNY and a better 2025.Paddy, Rory, Monty, CDBWF, Perce, Dave Mod et al - thank you for being the only thing that keeps me here.ETA: Did I just quote Jacob Rees-Mogg? Ugh. That's how bad things are.
