Janszoon- we are both similar in age, outlook on life, grew up with the same music and still look for new music and ideals way past the age when we should have hung up our slippers and remain set in our ways. I would genuinely love to meet him for a drink.
Urban - I think that his humour and no nonsense approach would annoy me in everyday life but only because he would reveal truths that you don't really want to accept, yet I absolutely like this guy so much. He is the epitome of frankness.
Tumor - she is a self confessed bitch but I have rarely come across someone that can articulate what she feels and why she feels that way and still command an audience. Self pity never enters the equation. She could tear me a new ******* at any time and knows it yet I never find her offensive. Not to all tastes but is far more intelligent than she realises.
Right Track- I don't like Man U fans whatever their background and history to their hometown club but this is an inbuilt prejudice. Even if I never get to meet him I am utterly confident that he is the sort of guy who would give u the shirt off his back even if u didn't know him. A true British gent.
Mojopinuk - When people ask what is great about Britain I think of this fella. Funny as ****, witty but he has that dark, seething fury about him that one day will explode and still won't blot his copybook. I have a lot of time for him.
NSW - The most infuriating mod for years. So much to say and bags of intelligence but so conspicuous by her absence. I feel she has so much to give here but never gets the chance to say it.
Big3 - The best enigma on MB. One of the best posters on here by far. Maddening, infuriating but ridiculously readable. I miss him when he is away.
Sidewinder - Probably the finest non mod ever. The guy is a walking encyclopedia of music but is so unassuming about it all.
Dankstra - Exists in some other dimension that most of us don't know about. Thoughtful, direct and erudite. Still want to find her sense of Humour though!
Paloma - Talk about music ffs. U like your music and have intelligence. Show it and be the great member that I know u can be.
Tore - an awesome guy that should sometimes just be himself and not an 'ideal' that he thinks he should be. He is ridiculously intelligent yet I know he has humour in abundnance. Show it!
Bulldog - I hate this guy only because he is one of the very few that lives and breathes music but still has this need to be nice all the time. Stop it! U have intelligence and charisma but are not forceful enough! you could shame 80% of the forum with your knowledge and enthusiasm. Show it more please!
Loose Lips - Miss this guy like crazy. Witty as **** and wise beyond his years. One of the few people to introduce new bands to others whilst having this reticent attitude to do so. Be more forceful and have conviction.
Vanilla- despite the cliched sexual predator role she has forged for herself, Vanilla is one of the most intriguing members I have met on MB. Sexually aware and enticing with it, she also has an amazing capacity to make people warm to her which is no mean feat. Far more intelligent than she acts. Vanilla has an amazing knack of being intriguing and desirable both physically and mentally. A night out with Vanilla is a secret wish of mine.
This is really about the older members (in terms of time here) and not a hankering for times past.
Plenty of recent members will get the jackhammer treatment soon
