Is There Anybody Out There?

So there I was bumming around aimlessly on the net when I suddenly thought "I know" (I thought) "I'll pop over to APFFN and see what's happening."
So here I am and what's happening? F*** all that's what's happening!

What's happened to this site? It's like a mausoleum.

Netwerk news hasn't been the same here in the states since the disappearance of the three wise men - Brokaw,Rather, & Peter Jennings;

(and) life isn't the same anymore for Floyd fans the world over since Rick Wright left us for that grt gig in the sky.

Re: Is There Anybody Out There?

Hello Cheese! Here is an update on what has been happening since you left.
Gerbil the Mouse was (once again) caught in a compromising situation with a cocker spaniel. At his hearing he pleaded guilty, stating that it was due to overwork/stress and was confined to the State Asylum. He found that the majority of the inmates found him most entertaining (a bit like here in the early days) and he has developed this into a stage show ( Gerbil sings Dusty) which he performs each afternoon in the cafeteria behind the vend-o-matic machine. Sydney has become the new Kylie Minogue and is currently touring Australia. She has been appearing at sheep shearing stations down under and the highlight of the show is when she shears a Peppin Merino whilst singing 'I should be so lucky'.No one is quite sure whether the sweaty shearers are cheering for Sydney or the sheep...but it goes down a 'bloody storm' anyway. Fulgham had an unfortunate accident whilst cycling along the edge of the Grand Canyon, trying to shoot an AK47 and play guitar at the same time. We are all relived that he was wearing a safety helmet which cushioned the impact of the 6000 feet fall. A leading surgeon has now agreed to tackle the tricky operation which involves removing his handlebars from his posterior. Deranged continued using copius amounts of drugs and sadly this left him an incoherent vegetable. He is now the head of the Amsterdam Police Force, and doing very well by all accounts. Fixxy is now a motorcycle stunt driver and can regularly be seen hurtling round London. The wheels of his motorcycle were stolen about a year ago and no one has the heart to say anything to him. However, undaunted, he continues to bomb round Sheperds Bush making 'vroom,vroom' noises on an imaginary Hyabusa. I still pop in here each day and have a look around. I'm a bit like a Wal Mart greeter (very old and no one wants to talk to you)! Sadly I never recovered from the horrific accident where my kilt was caught in the lift doors of Marks and Spencer. I am no longer allowed back in the their store after a cashier had a stroke...the others wree far too slow! This accident meant I can no longer play the bagpipes and my sporran has shrivelled to half its size. Anyway That is the reason that lot of the (old) posters aren't on here anymore. I hope this helps?

Yes, we have been beset by spammers and tiresome automatic accounts; unfortunately the human-generated content on the site is at a low ebb.

He used to be an extremely charming fellow. Hospital reports would indicate that he is making a speedy recovery. Medical staff have attributed this to a high fibre diet and drama therapy. Gerbil has undergone a number of phases, most notably believing he was Ethel Merman. This was most upsetting for many of the patients as he would belt out 'Everythings coming up Roses' in the wee small hours. His transition to Dusty Springfield, by way of Marilyn Monroe (sadly his hairy legs and varicose veins were frequently commented on) and then Marcel Marsaud has been much more beneficial. Dusty's heavy eye make up and husky voice has been welcomed by one and all, and many believe that he could have a genuine chance on American Idol.
