Been meaning to drop in for a while. Hope everyone is ok - or ok as they can be with the things life has thrown at them.

I joined TFF April 23rd 2012. There was a link from PESGaming, so I followed it and joined. It's mental to think that 12 years ago. As it happened I did a lot of Mafia Wars stuff on PESGaming.

Wait, where did this come from?!

This is mental

Welcome @Glentoran-Andy!

Well this year has been quite something. My wife and I recently lost our 3rd baby during pregnancy, and had to give birth to our child at 22 weeks. Funeral is next week. I'm not sure I have the bandwidth for Mafia Wars this year sadly.

I completely forgot about that. Then there was the Trump auto correct to something about Barking Spiders

The ending just didn't make sense to me, I won't spoil it but it had lazy Vince writing all over it.

Apologies for being awol for so long, I had to deal with a few health niggles and then I was completely blindsided by the news that my Father had been fighting pancreatic cancer for 8 months and hadn't told me. Two weeks after I was informed he died. Literally 36 hours after I saw him for the last time. So all in all 2023 has been a bit of a mixed bag. I'm hoping to be more active and even resurrect Mafia Wars.

Hi all, sadly the forum is closing down. We're moving to Discord. https://discord.gg/nvrhuBmpAT is the Discord server. Thanks for all the support, hopefully see you all on the Discord.

There are so many euphemisms here I just can't keep up. There's another one!

I didn't know it was on? I'm a married man don't you know!

You should have emailed with some success, he might have responded

Where did she post these? Asking for a friend.

So despite Vince having left WWE, he still has a 80% decision right majority with them. He's trying to force his way back into WWE claiming he got 'bad advice' to quit over allegations he left over. I cannot believe he'd be so insane to do this given it's already hit WWE share prices.

Matt Smith does look like one of those Christmas Island rock faces as a human being, which is curiously distracting. I don't think his performance as Daemon is all that bad to be honest, he's a decent actor. The issue for Matt when he plays a villain is that he lacks menace.

I’m a boring old bastard with limited patience. Have a good night. See you tomorrow.

Someone fancies sitting on Ice for 24 hours I see.

Yawn. Can we get back on topic please.

@shut up it's a little far fetched to be labelling nudge pro Nazi. You owe her an apology.

Putin simply cannot be allowed to determine the sovereignty of another county, irrespective of his views on NATO. If the West abandons to Ukraine to Russia then we have learned nothing from History. Germany used ethnic Germans as a means to destabilize countries for expansionism and control in the 1930s and Putin is using exactly the same approach. Once Ukraine becomes a vassal state, Georgia will be the next. They're actively engaging in wanting to join the EU and by flanking each side of the country in problems it prevents the country from being able to do so. Putin recognizes that a more democratic neighbour on its doorstep will only pull further away from their sphere of influence. Indeed by attacking now he's moving before Ukraine becomes too difficult to overcome. My concern goes out to the Baltic States, Putin will almost certainly want to extricate them from NATO. Whilst we cannot get into a nuclear exchange, Russia cannot be allowed to dictate terms of sovereignty for another nation.

I remember them well. Bull Buchanan was a beast.

One botch that wasn't picked up was McCool was eliminated early by mistake. That said, the amount of eliminations that were not shown live is fucking poor.

I have zero belief in the political system in the United Kingdom. All COVID has amplified is the power of party backers/donors to make money from government at the expense of the taxpayer.
