JJack just started a thread on members being on here more than 5 years and their views.

I happen to mention a former member Steve 252 who apparantly sadly passed in a motor bike accident and I don't want jack thread to go off topic.

While I done a quick search I came across names like irishrover khunwilko Tezza

Fergs66 was a character and that's going back

I am sure there is many more names that you guys remember and a bonus would be if anyone knows if they ever settled in Thailand or somewhere else.

Cheers

I stumbled across some Cambodian travel forum, and saw a poster named "soi dog". Wonder if that's our old buddy?

So old Fergs has gone back to England has he? the last time I met him he was happily living in Chaam as was Otny.

Do you know for a fact that Steve252 passed away? I remember people saying it possibly happened but no one seemed to know for sure or have any real evidence

What is the pub that Millwall_Fan runs?

I wonder what makes someone totally stop posting when they have very regularily done so.


Every group has its own dynamics, if you can't see the idiot then it's probably you.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think :-D

Anyone remember BobTrips? He was the photographer who travelled on the smell of an oily rag.

#6 I joined this site in 2003 when I first went to LOS, but stopped posting after a few years because I felt that in the fast changing world there, my info. was no longer relevant.
Also the great purge of many of the previously mentioned characters sapped the spirit from the forum.
I still stalk from the sidelines in the hope that some day I will return to Thailand.

#7: I remember BobTrips. Camboman was also a regular poster who was a great photographer.

Got me looking back through PM's, jogged the memory there: Charleyboy, toolsforfools, PukhetRichard, sawadeekrab, Lotteko, somebodyelse, Girllrig, Gorshar; who knows where they are now? Bwanabrad is still in LOS last I heard.
