Where are they now ? Who are they now ?

First topic message reminder :

606 names.
Oh well, somebody has to ask the question others dare not:

Welsh Lad Gareth
Nottins (spotted on BBC pages)
Grey Ghost (banned by Biltong but ghosted back writing in pidgin)
Moffets Ghost (histrionically anti english; thought to have blown himself up )
RugbyDreamer
StellaTigersFan
Porridge
Juggler
Gower Power Shower (flushed away)
Rugby Shrink (yes, you are back on here)
CelticJinker
Welshman in Spain (sunk in negative equity)
Baron
Sospan (Bach)
George Marvin (aka Pimpernell)
3rd GrandSlamComing (obsoleted by his heroes)
And a few Irish & Kiwi posters whose names escape me at the moment.

If you spot them, do not approach, just report them here.

The only bad thing about the original 606 was its closing time. Robbed us of many a late night drunken Gibbo rant

BTW: MoffetsGhost: what a piece of work. Anyone know what became of him ?

The best WUM. A superstar. RedRugbyExile comes on here but not very often.

'Manu's boxing coach' and 'StrettlesFringe' were transient Welsh posters, probably still on here but with less transient stale names.

Is RRE = Moffet then ?

Agree JB1974 knew his stuff on the ospreys and was always very balanced. Haven't seen the north walian poster cymroglan in a while. Still on here?

I rmember JB1974 and Preservedkillick?

Think I was GlosBanter on the old one, should've stuck with it. "New" one looks a bit WUM-ish.

Triangulation he was one of the old 606 faithful that liked more than the odd wum!

I could never understand why it closed at lunchtime.

Whatever happened to Barry Bunn? He was proper loopy .

You must have thought we were all mad with our drunken ramblings so early in the morning

gregortree wrote:Is RRE = Moffet then ?

Moffet would post a WUM article then sign into his RRE account and agree with himself. He would often alternate between the two, it allowed him to get in more abuse against the English. All hilarious to me, not the English though.

I assumed you were JB. "Yeah JB was a good poster mind, don't mean to big him up..."

This takes me back - the birth of the Jeff:

Yeah, blackfrost and his guinea pig. Who needs consulation, brainstorming or marketing strategies?

"can we call it jeff after my lads guinea pig"

What welsh site?

Morgannwg nah I'm not jb1974, sure he' s from the otherside of the loughor bridge.

With some of the names mentioned on this post I'm glad my old 606 name hasn't been mentioned yet.

By the way.....how many remember some of the classics from Scrum V never mind the old 606...

Leinster Zulu
Nardol
Dead_Gull (WUM)
The infamous 'Keith Price'...
over the hill prop
littlejohnbull

and many many more.

Ahh Goldstarsandstripes, the original and the best. I also rated Bigmukka. Happy days.

CymruCubbin anyone with his Friday quizzes

There is a photo of the Guinea Pig Jeff on the 606 Facebook page.

Gower and HERSH's bickering smacked of sexual tension. Apparently Gower liked to dress as a fat lady!

You have to give the v2 mods credit as we don't get anywhere near the level of wums as 606 used to. I do miss some of the whittier comments but certainly don't miss the vast bulk.

Juggler was always very interesting, although he did have a tendency to baffle you with stats to prove a point, but still interesting nevertheless. One poster who hasn't come over is Snowmonkey, he was a good chap.

Does Cymroglan still post?

What about DaiDimView?

arightleftwinger?

Cymroglan was on here up until some months ago when he disappeared.

I think Cymro morphed into the Artful Dodger

Tri was a genius... I think he's on here but hasn't hit top form yet......

I still remember that Jeff incident fondly, one o the greatest moments in rugby played out in front of me.
An honour to be a part of, I shall cherish it til the day I die.

Oh and did we ever catch the mysterious One Star man? Honestly within seconds he struck without fail.

The phantom one star rater

I am boring, i was always eirebilly

Yeah, have to agree with that one Bill - Be strange if you were anything else really. I can't say the same thing about Gibson though; I'm sure he was on the old 606 site going by the name of Shirley

Whoever he/she was they clearly just lurked on the site and as you say would rate a post one star within seconds. It actually became quite amusing that somebody was spending so much time doing this when everyone else pretty much ignored the system. I will say whoever they were, they did step out of line on a few occasions, as I remember some posts that were rather somber discussing someone who had passed away being rated as one star and that just showed a lack of class. Bar that, it was amusing to watch.

TheBouncerIanKeatley - I totally forgotten about him, funny as hell!

Since when was Hell funny Scarlet, I think I've been there for about 10 days now

RubyGuby wrote:Since when was Hell funny Scarlet, I think I've been there for about 10 days now

Is it getting cold there? If it is maybe we will win this weekend.

I think your all remembering with too much fondness, a lot of these 'funny' posters weren't funny at all, rather more tiresome ala the wummery of HERSH, AWOP, VIEW etc...

Was knackeredknees there
Still got knackeredknees now!!

whatever happened to the yank, boston.... had a few others after getting banned all the time.
Remember RRE well had some quite good posts with him

But it was far to wummish in the end

Anyone remember Cookie Monster - he was always good for a wum. Whatever happened to him?

Nottins = David Cameron
Grey Ghost = one of the Millibands

Last King of England = Charles Windsor ?

Was it HERSH who had the thread to reveal his true identity just before 606 closed?

RogerLewis wrote:Cyril
HERSH

Those were the four crown princes of the old 606.
I wanna get one of those Ghostbusters style traps

I'm honoured Roger.

Yes, Milliband is v pro English just like GG was.

HERSH was formally Mike Hunt on the old Scrum V board

No I wasn't Ruby the Scrum V board past me by.

But I bet it was great

Darn I wish I could remember how that one ended!

Do you want the rest Rodders?


Who is HERSH????(permalink)

Posted by HERSH on Friday, 25th March 2011 Last updated Friday, 25th March 2011

I have decided that this will be my last day of posting on 606, some will say about time, good riddance others I know will miss my insider knowledge of the great game.

So I thought it was only fair that I reveal myself so that you'll be able to put a face to the name and who knows maybe you'll see me wandering round the Rec in Bath or enjoying what Cardiff has to offer as I still have close ties with the City and Club, if you do recognise me come over and introduce yourself and maybe I'll buy you a pint?

So watch this space as 2pm I'll be announcing my name.

Until then I'll be posting on these boards as usual.

Enjoy.



Conversations

So ? who was HERSH ?
Should I tune in tomorrow to find out ?

That brings it all back Ruby, cheers

How do you do that?

Oh man I'm so excited! Can't wait to find out who HERSH is a get my free pint!

Think I'll save it till after the Wales game

How do I do that?? Mmmmm C'mon Hersh you're almost as connected as me. Anyways I got the information from the old RugbyShrink
