Should the Chookpen Forum have immortals and who would you nominate???

[Andrew Walker]

I second this.

Tobin, Brain, Melon, Dead Elvis, Big Poppa Pump and the one and only Stsae. Genius.

PS: The General was a fabulous fella.

The General was once a moderator here who abused his priveliges banning people for meagrly disagreeing with him A poor nomination

[Mickie Lane]

I'd imagine that there's a number of Pen legends out there that no longer post so my nominees are from when I joined this forum.

1. Mickie Lane

2. Rented Tracksuit

3. Andrew Walker


Special mention to mightyrooster who just missed out this time round.

Thank you so much for the nomination Batesy.
I would go
1. milanja
2. zac/caz
3. Thirteen

We havnt heard from Renty for a while but I hope he's okay. The passing of his wife is a real big deal & like I said I hope he's okay.

mattyh, Roosterfarian, R6, gaz, 4 the all in brawl, jaf, stsae, vasco, Red, intercept, the Lip, DP1990, A Country Member, Arties Pie, Billy Gun, Random Rooster, The Axe, Jacks Fur Coat, Hawkeye Horrie hastings & of course King Sutherland are all great contributors just like you Batesy.
You do a great job of coming up with threads to keep this place alive.

[Mickie Lane]

You would have loved the MR. Absolute Easts legends.

He still checks in here Red

[Andrew Walker]

Buzz Rothfield just sent me a txt and said " Batsey you maniac. Hope you're well mate. It has to be Tobin! I made a living off his scoops"

[Bates]

Here's another txt from Mr X - " You also need a rookie of the year award and the best and fairest award"

Thanks Mr X and don't forget to like and subscribe

Here's the thing. If we were ever to do the reverse, and recognise a member who would never, ever, ever, even be considered, lest nominated, for any sort of achievement award whatsoever... that would be you old mate. You'd win in a canter.

Go play some martingale to try and pay for your dinner. ;)

old mate? - you sound like some other egomaniac who thinks he's the Kenenisa Bekele of the distance running world.

lest nominated? I'd win in a canter. Well, it is the silly season and as you seem to think you know everything about betting and God only knows what else, here's a challenge for you. Create a poll as to who you think should be banned from the Chookpen permanently - me or you. It's a 50/50 shot. First to 10, and then whoever gets to 10 first publicly requests to the moderators they be banned permanently and their account deleted. No cheating by you creating new usernames. And no returning under an alias.

PS - Love your timely advice re: playing some martingale. Just last weekend it took only 3 bets on black at the roulette table to pay for my dinner.

PPS - Looking forward to the poll.

He used to sit in front of me in Bay 13. He was always friendly and we got on well. I don't remember him as a moderator. But I respect your opinion even though I disagree with it..

[Mickie Lane]

i Nominate paddo colt

I forgot about Paddo Colt & I like him too.
Your brother was always a good laugh on the old wall with jason08

Where do I place my vote?

Yes to Stsae, loved his humour and met him a couple of times with his trips to Sydney, especially Kensington, great bloke.

And Red The General is still a fabulous fella, have a mutual friend who is great mates with The General so we have crossed paths and met up a few times over the last few years.

[Mickie Lane]

The Skeez, SConcierge & Tommy Smith are great posters as well so was Yak.
eddie, Spirit of 66, The Thracian, Steakface, Waylander, trewella, Water boy, Steggles, Timmah, Tummetchook, Salvatori Grubber, Grubber, SamKerrSimp, Renman, Roc181, Rocky Rhodes, Sentimental, Serender are all or were good value but no beats
Rooster36, his posts are riveting.

I think you’ll be staying.

[Duchess_of_Bondi]

Absolutely!

Rules -

1. You don't qualify if you're permanently banned.

2. You must have minimum 10k posts.

3. You can nominate 3 Penners.

3. You must be vaccinated for COVID........ Kidding.

I'm currently considering my nominations as you can't rush these things.

As the forum’s resident IT Compliance Analyst, my recommendation is to also exclude the following posts in the 10,000 or more count:


1. Anything remotely positive about South Sydney

2. Posts which are just merely of the sycophantic nature e.g comments like ‘exactly’ - not exactly a riveting and intelligent contribution to a conversation now is it?

3. Posts which are just merely to make another forum member feel uncomfortable or unsafe on here also known as cyberstalking

4. Posts degrading family members of forum members

5. Posts purely designed to mess with the mental health of other forum members also known as trolling

6. Posts mocking other forum members whilst they are away for serious illness

7. Posts mocking other forum members whilst they are away due to a family bereavement

8. Posts which are outright lies - I’m lucky I have an inbuilt BS detector but not everyone is as fortunate as me

9. Posts which are just purely to be inflammatory towards another forum member

10. Posts falsely accusing one forum member of actually being another or falsely being the ex partner/spouse of another forum member.

By eliminating the above, that should sort the wheat from the chaff and bring the post count down to below 10,000 for some members, therefore ruling them eligible.

Therefore I shall only nominate my friend Thirteen as being worthy of the Hall of Fame..


Now I’m off to do some actual auditing as unlike some, I have a job.


As you were people..
