Are you still in regular or semi regular contact with any old scene buddies?

violator - November 2, 2005 07:55 PM (GMT)
since I Moved to the USA in 2001, i lost contact with cryton, and Mic Flair, Still converse with one or two early scene guys and my ex girlfriend (bodacia) who did a few articles for GV.

Thats about it.

DaZZaBoY - November 2, 2005 08:42 PM (GMT)
We've come across a lot of the ex-LSDers in recent times but to say we haven't exactly hit it off with some of 'em is a bit of an understatement. :huh:

The least said about that the better. Just have a read thru the articles section and it kind of paints a picture. *cough

It's a shame a lot of the ex UK sceners disappeared with the Amiga but you never know, a few of the nostalgic ones amongst them may do a Google search and find us one day?

I used to trade with Mic Flair of Eltech he even came round my house one weekend ;) Also used to trade with Denzil (and his famous stamp;))

Freak^NFA - November 5, 2005 07:46 PM (GMT)
I went for a job interview once in Scunthorpe, and found mub/LSD working there. Small world, no?

sarek2k - November 5, 2005 09:16 PM (GMT)

MajicM - November 19, 2005 06:17 PM (GMT)
Aye, used to swap with Denzil too, and knew Cryton quite well back in the old days...

Freak^NFA - December 10, 2005 10:08 PM (GMT)
IIRC he mentioned something about cracking some CD32 game to run from HD, and I mentioned his name to someone else and they said 'Ah that's mUb, that is...' - I didn't actually out him while I was there :)

darkus - December 27, 2005 10:28 AM (GMT)
Anyone heard from any of these guys:

Michael/Anathema and Jedi/LSD? ...

Hi Violator!!

I Remember you.. Didn't you used to live in Jarrow near Newcastle?

I'm sure you Remember KEI as well as Kooky....

I do believe you rung me on my home number at the time to chat to me.....

Remember DEFCON!

Nice hearing from you.... Im off to the US this year.

Kei - April 22, 2006 06:33 PM (GMT)
Hi Craig,

I remember you saying you were off to the States. How has life been for you?

HPA, not heard that in a while. :D

After a 'healthy' interest in phones I went to work for BT and was with them for about 9 years off and on. I learned more about Telecomms from the inside than I ever did reading HPA dox! ;)

I'm down in Suffolk these days working for an American software company based over in Silicon Valley. I'm at their European HQ.

Kei

DaZZaBoY - April 22, 2006 07:26 PM (GMT)
@ Kooky / Kei:

Might be an idea to PM Violator if you haven't already, his last activity was Nov last yr. Good luck!

Freak^NFA - May 15, 2006 08:10 PM (GMT)
Edit: I said nothing! Go away!

violator - October 13, 2006 08:28 PM (GMT)

Kookie - Nope, never lived in Jarrow.. ever.. :)

DaZZaBoY - October 14, 2006 09:37 AM (GMT)
Welcome back Violator. Iraq/Afganistan per chance? Hope the wages were in plentyful supply ;)

violator - October 15, 2006 02:33 AM (GMT)
twat Afganistan, nice little gig, actully pretty pretty safe out there, and you know what the locals were ok, all smiles and shit was with a private contractor, had to do a 3 weeks course beforehand, just so i knew what i was getting myself into.

As for money.. well when u step off the plane your ass is twitching but those $1100 a week paychecks, (tax free) make up for it... Ill post some pics when i get around to it

darkus - November 10, 2006 04:04 PM (GMT)
Violator: not sure if I asked this before, but are you still contact with Messiah (aka Anthony Hall) ?

GUEST -Dooba - February 11, 2007 06:50 AM (GMT)
Well shit, I know it's old and all that but hello people.

Violator you massive shit! I still remember meeting you in the monkey bar to give you that list of BT phone exchanges, what a larf.

Kooky, the guy who pretended to be me on Permanent Vacation because you thought I knew Mic Flair! Hahahahah those good old days.

Kei, areet lad?

Well lads, if any of you still read this, what's happening?



DaZZaBoY - February 11, 2007 07:18 PM (GMT)
Hey Dooba!

Unfortunately, Kooky and Kei both got kicked in the last no-activity clean up but hopefully they still drop by for a read? If you are reading this boyos, plz sign back up to the forum. Be good to hear from u 2 again.

Violator is still regged but only pops in during times of nostalgia. ;)

DaZZaBoY - February 23, 2007 12:50 PM (GMT)
Yup.. that's the fella.

Adonis - February 27, 2007 09:33 AM (GMT)
Believe he aint 100% gone... Believe some of our musicians had contact him him recently about some prodcutions.

DaZZaBoY - February 27, 2007 09:34 PM (GMT)
Great! He seemed a pretty well respected musician and I know quite a few ex-Amiga doods who wouldn't mind a chinwag with him. :)

darkus - March 3, 2007 12:24 PM (GMT)
I`d love to get back in touch with Michael.. he was one of my first contacts..

Adonis: if any of the IRIS guys have contacted him lately, please find out his email or whatever they used to find him :)

violator - September 11, 2007 07:17 PM (GMT)
