Re: Hairy Potter...
Heidi, I had no idea that you and Steven (hell, it's been so many year since I've been on here that I've forgotten if it's Stephen or Steven) were involved.
You and I have had a general animosity, but I hope that you know that I would never wish a loss like this on my worst enemy, especially when that person loved someone that I held in such high esteem.
I so wish that I had met him. I always thought that we would have such a fabulous row over beers.

Re:
I know that, Lara! I would never think otherwise!
You would have loved beers with Stephen. He would call you out the same way face to face as he did on the board, only it was better because you got the nonchalant look, the shrug and then the awesome laugh, although most of the time it sounded a lot like an impish giggle.
God! He was like a boy and the world was the candy store.
He was so quick and so fantastic.
I wish you'd met him!
He always admired your intelligence and your wit, and your ability to cut through the crap.

Re:
I caught on to you two quite some time ago, Heidi but wow how time flew. I remember looking at a post where you were tearing into Diane on one thread and then starting a sweet Happy Birthday thread for Stephen on another. I thought, !@#$ they're a couple!
Beers with Stephen would have been a blast!

Re:
Ah, that's funny, Ramona! We tried not to talk to each other on the site just for that reason.
I wonder if it would surprise anyone to know that HP was a perfect gentleman. THE perfect gentleman, actually!

Re:
No surprise to me. He was so kind and well mannered when he was himself when we wrote. I'm kicking myself for not keeping in touch, guess I thought we would eventually meet and some Bruce Bud get together but looks like he was kept busy and happy :)
I messaged him back in June, 2010 when I caught him on runboard and he said he thought he was invisible and that he was doing some work for Spacebuggy. That confirmed my suspicion, lol!!

Re: Hairy Potter...
We did Holland during The Seeger Sessions. This time around would have been with you guys :)

Re:
Wow really? Was that about the time that he bought his snakeskin boots because he was so excited about Bruce? I didn't realise that you guys were together that far back! He did talk about a possible trip to California and asked what dates we were going to be there but I can't recall much after that. He might have mentioned Canada too.

Re: Hairy Potter...
My favourite was a little dig at me. After Arsenal's new signing Arshavin had almost single-handedly destroyed my beloved Liverpool, Stephen announced that he was shaving his arse in admiration.

Re:
Awesome! He was brilliant!
In our Fantasy Football League he had his own country in which he was the only inhabitant.
That way he was always number 1.
