Don't go Rip.
These are clearly trying times, what with Russell's current indisposition.
Time to re-think, re-invigorate and rally, surely?

As I mentioned elsewhere, perhaps making five or less new threads a day would be easier on the attention-span challenged modern men?
There is still a lot to talk about, reminisce about, think about.
Quality over quantity, perhaps?

It's been a pleasure Mr Panic, remember you can be a part of this without being as busy as you have been of late so feel free to reconsider.
some sort of banal legitimacy

^Seconded.
Brother, you have been doing a prodigious job of keping the board alive. Dont loose faith.
Maybe its just exhaustion

Re: Signing Off
Rip, you gotta stay here!
I'm sure that you still got a lot of good stuff, both about American/ Ivy topics and about British/ Mod topics...
I have to admit I was quite surprised to see all this Mod stuff over here... from the new incarnation of the mod bashing chetmiles/ ISR... but you're doing a great job! I think it's not a bad thing, if the "Trads" read about Little Anthony & The Imperials or David Hemmings... just like the "Mods" should read about Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra or about Woody Allen... anything that broadens the horizon must be a good thing!

Yeh, I enjoy your posts even if sometimes I'm too bloody young to have a clue what you are talking about.

Re: Signing Off
Especially as to Troll was WAY below just to 'Cruise'.
Trolling was always to seek out a target in the darkest & dankest of Gents.
... So the name fits the Internet very well!

Re: Signing Off
Also - The Troll picked up was the target of Trolling. The one who Trolled was not the Troll. Trolling was just the name for picking up & fucking over Trolly 'Trade' in really rank bogs.
When you 'Cruise', 'Trade' is 'Kleenex' - use them once & throw them away.
Is this slang still current?

Re: Signing Off
Just a random thought. Remember Robinsons? I used to go to the pictures in Deansgate with an old queen who ran a shop in their basement. Nothing so jolly as watching a film like 'Mad Max 2' or 'An Officer And A Gentleman' in such company! Then we'd go to 'Stuffed Olives', that downstairs gay bar.
I don't know that 'Kleenex' expression.
Was going to PM this, but I thought we'd share these Madchester memories with 'Big' Tony.
Why do they call him 'Big' Tony BTW?
