Did Monty just fade away quietly or did he announce his retirement?

True. But at least there were loads of posters back then.Quote:

I don't think Monty flounced but I understand people simply migrated over to the Twitters.
The Doc was a dirty socialist. **** him.Quote:

Glad your well. Stay safe and Ganpati bless.
Thank God for that. Got my mum last April, but she said she'd had 86 good years and 1 bad one so can't complain. Watching the old man die of dementia was literal hell in comparison.Quote:

I see a 'Hendon Gooner' on many youtube comments and Twitter etc. I do wonder if it's the same as Awimb's Hendon.
Did he get out of prison for killing monty yet?
He's in Faversham. Married with kids. All grown up I guess.Quote:

Cheers, C. That was it. I do like that train - plug in phone and laptop, put them on the table, put coat and bag on the inside seat and you'll be left with all four seats and the table for the whole journey. Better than first class {though obviously not as good as Second Class Sleeper in India.}Quote:

Hendon Gooner's the only AWIMBer I've met in real life, Jay I think his real name was / is. I grew up in Mill Hill East / Hendon Central. Was taking Mrs Lincs for a weekend tour of my old haunts, met up with HG and a couple of his mates in a pub in Barnet to watch an illegal stream of an Arsenal Saturday 3pm game. Sadly the match was sh*te but it was a fun afternoon.Quote:

Plenty more of course.
Is that a euphemism?Quote:
