As someone who likes to dip in and out of TMO quite a bit (first time caller, long time listener), I'm a bit confused about who is who, what their motivation is, relationships with other people. Like coming in on a soap opera and only at the fifth time of watching do you realise that the reason Nigel and Sonia hate each other is because Nigel has been buming Sonia's dog (or something). It would be nice to get the whole 'dog buming thing' up front by having a useful guide on the regulars for the sometime users like me.

In a nutshell, any chance of a 'character list' of who is who - like at the start of long Russian novels.

So far I've picked up the following:

Thorn - The journeyman. Honest with the highs and lows of life.

Kovacs - cultural supremo with odd choice in favourite comics. Experienced the champagne of comic life but now slums it on the Diamond White (Zenith). May or may not fancy Brandy.

Brandy - the sane voice on the board? Shares the same 'love' of Croydon as Thorn.

Misc Files?

Ben?

Please help with this. Realise this is navel gazing and will be told to fuck off.

I write this in the full knowlege that it may die on its arse.

I think this thread has the potential to be gr11. Though, MS, don't expect the answers to bear any relation to the truth. Just managing your expectations, like.

It could work.

MonkeySusan, why don't you request a poster to write about another poster.

So like; Ben - could you write about XXX please??

This makes your post both helpful to yourself and conceptual.

Tip; Samuel Norton would be a good one to fill that space there.

Naw, I'm hoping MS won't know much history and it could be beautiful pandemonium.

Vikram - Cynical poser whose aloof posturing fails to impress at every turn. While he would like to consider himself a 40,000 volt jolt to the forum, snapping them out of complacency and setting them on the way to forging something new and special, his presence on the forum more closely resembles that of a fart in an elevator.

Ben - The mild-mannered librarian by day, Kovacian cultural commentator by night.

Thorn - Used to be the shock guy of TMO in the early days. Now approaching 30 and scared. So very, very scared.

Ringo - The guy everyone likes to like. Will turn this thread into a wankfest.

Boy Racer - Wanker. Literally.

I'll help you Monkeyboy, based on my off-board knowledge of your likes and dislikes. These are some of the people you may encounter:

Football Fans

Boy Racer (key words: film/south London/wanking)

damo (key words: drugz/tennessee/dna)

I know there are others, but these seem to be most prominent.

Non-football Fans

Ringo (key words: cars/computers/Milton Keynes)
[editor's note- always beware of men who profess not to like football]

Louche (key words: Manchester/Brett Easton Ellis/wine)

Film Fans

Ben (key words: culture/morality/pies)

Boy Racer (see above)

kovacs (key words: comics/London/80s)

[editor's note- MonkeySusan likes some great films, but also dislikes many great ones and needs to be shown the error of his ways]

Politick:

Ben (see above)

Vikram (key words: backpack/credit cards/dappy)

Samuelnorton (key words: Germany/cheese/squirting)

StevieX (key words: summary unavailable)

Hope this helps.

What I object to is the colour of some of these wheelie bins and where they are left, in some areas outside all week in the front garden.

Thanks for all this stuff so far. Very helpful.

Tell me if I'm near the truth:

New Way of Decay - Streetwise with a certain cache with the under 14s. Wears retro trainers (Nike Air Max 2 a favourite). Would secretly like to be Thorn.

Misc files - Irreverant sense of humour. Ben's twin.

Ben - Irreverant sense of humour. Misc files' twin.

VP - A poetess indeed. Tolerates Thorn.

London - Fears the city he is named after. Likes eating at curry houses. Dreams of asking VP for a gourmet curry. Hides emotion under machismo.

Am I close?

I thought you didn't want it to turn into a cluster fuck? So I did a non-cluster fucky post. Jesus! There's no pleasing some people.

Uber Trick sparkling urbanite with added kitten hair.

Bamba Gruff and avuncular yet with hideen depths. That no-one really wants to get into.

damo Has tourettes and utilises this to disguise essential innate niceness. I think.

Louche - exaggerates anger and melancholy.

Bamba - likes to "fight" with Thorn. Writes long sentences, exaggerates anger.

damo - lost mancunian. hyper.

astro - exaggerates timidness, assertiveness sometimes bubbles through.

VP's tits are a bit small for me - I'm more of a big-booty bitches kinda person - but otherwise, spot on.

Y'see, until the last meat, where I was told by several people that I have the online persona of a wet weekend in Margate, I wasn't even aware that I seem timid. I blame Louche and her brutal Day in the Life of Astro post. And that time I wrote about crying when listening to The Boxer.

Astro can you stop telling us when you cry please. it makes me bunch my left hand under my armpit and stroke the forearm with my right hand and think 'astro is crying'

My face turns blue and pouty. My eyes become apostrophes and I look exactly, exactly like this; [Frown]

It's OK! I'm not crying now. I'm wearing a tiny frown because there's a funny smell in the office and I can't work out where it's coming from.

Fantastic! Is there anything more likely to make steam blast out of an angry person's ears than telling them they exaggerate their anger? If Bamba doesn't post for a while it's probably because he's put his forehead straight through his monitor screen in a sort of Glasgow cyberkiss.

StevieX - living in the late, indie 80's. But with better software.

NWoD - an original. Searching the planet for his true purpose and having good hair! while he does it.

Jonesy's not dead, he's just resting. He'll be back...

And as for bitchy, you little madam, I'm sorry I offended you the last time we met up but I really wasn't trying to be offensive.

I genuinely did think that your engagement ring was from argos.
Here's the link to prove it!
