Shipham as in shiphams salmon and shrimp  spread?  Or did you mean shipman the man who singlehandedly  reduced the oap count in uk by 10 %?

Can you still get fish paste?. I don't see it anymore. We used to have fish paste sandwiches when we were kids. Didn't do me any harm

I loved it on cold toast with lashings of butter. Salmon and shrimp  was my fave ever.  Had some a few years ago . Will have a look in our local deli  , not sure if it still exists

Sorry Wolfo, after Damiengate there's  no way I'd share any detail on here. I was completely  shocked that someone would bother. ... and I was already aware there are one or two weirdos on here.  I couldn't  trust them. Me, not bothered but I have an extended family and the thought of those , how can I say, strange  obsessive types   , trolling any of them would probably end very badly. You already know  who I am related to . I trust you with that info. I can deal with any old shoite on here but it seems some dont leave it at that.

Age: 51
Location: OB & Prague when I can get back.
Job: Design Engineer
Started supporting City: 1977 - First Game v WBA (Confess it’s my second team....Born in Oxford means U’s are my first team. I’ve been known to wear my Oxford shirt in the Barclay on the odd days Oxford played at Carrow Road & I follow Sparta Prague when in Prague).
Season ticket: from 1993 to 2018 decided Saturdays were better spent on other things.
Favourite Canary moment: 1985 cup final.....followed by 1986 cup final.....
Top 5 players you've seen in a Norwich shirt: Channon, Hucks, Malky, Keelan & Strihavka  😂
Favourite current player: Hanley
Hobbies/pastimes outside of football: Cycling, Golf & Painting
Random fact: I used to play Ice Hockey in Prague as a youngster and I once was told by Maurice Evans after summer trials at Oxford in 1988 that while he had a hole in his bum, I’d never be fit enough to be a pro footballer! He was right!

I've thought about this and I think I don't feel important enough even to myself. And I'm being serious. "Who the f*** cares" is what I think about myself. I'm a fairly quiet type generally and keep myself to myself most times. Indeed I was shocked the other day to see my post count because I logged on using a laptop (it doesn't show on a mobile which is what I use virtually all the time)....I had posted nearly 5000 times!.....yet over 16 years plus that is still less than one a day. Most of my posts have been me talking sh*t too 🙂 because I looked back on some. It's best not to look at what you've written I think!

As for others sharing, it's fine by me (indeed interesting). People can say and do what they like. I'm not sure about other posters but you get to 'know' folks well after a while from what they say and especially from how they say it. I think overall I'm happy not to know who people really are because I just don't mind. Plus, I would forget their names in a week anyway!

I understand some posters' worries though because they've received inflammatory and threatening comments. Thankfully, these happen very rarely. Once or twice in the past I've tried to join in as a peacemaker but I've found I got ignored as the argument was too 'hot'. I used to hate the Morty/Lakey duels. I was so pleased both met up subsequently and made peace. It was good to read and restored my faith in people.

I like this forum most of the time. Some amusing folk post here. Fair play to Feedthewolf's post, it's good to be open and honest. I felt it was dishonest to just ignore it as that felt disingenuous. Yet, to respond and say something just what do you say?! So these are some of my thoughts above. I guess I may change my mind in time.

I was a little sceptical but all I’ve posted is pretty much what I’ve posted before on this forum, Nutty and others know my background, I’ve not said where I live but just my first name and some info!

As you say it’s interesting to see the demographic of our supporters and allows us to see a smidge deeper into each other.....

From my point of view, as a newbie, I found this post interesting as a way to see the demographic of folk on here, but also hopefully a good way for one or two of those wary of whether I'm some old reborn poster or not to take me at face value.

As for keeping more annonymous, I totally get why people would want do that, and I totally respect that, from my point of view, if people ever get so narked with me online they want to "find me" or whatever , then good luck to them, but more importantly I'm just a normal bloke so I don't think anyone would give two ****s about wasting their time anyway 🤷‍♂️

Thanks Lakey.

Everyone I've re-met since the lockdown loosened has mentioned they wish it was as easy for them to lose weight as it is for me. In the words of Stuart Webber 'it's taken me 6 months to be an overnight success'!

It's really cool to read so many of your NCFC stories. Keep them coming!

Before long we'll have enough to make a Panini Pinkun Posters sticker album... I'm going to task @Uncle Fred with doing all the picture research.

Hope this doesn't sound too personal but what weight were you before? You've done amazingly well, either way! 

Ps. My real name is Rob and I live in Norwich. Bet that was tricky for y'all to work out! 🤪

Random fact... I knew all of the members of the short lived pop band North and South. 

I'm 39 years young and I'm a late bloomer to being a proper supporter. Started in 2000 when I first moved here. I worked for Archant or ECN (as it was at the time) and soon got drawn into the footie. Had a season ticket since 2008, I think. 

Recently ended up without a job but I'm having a second interview for a new one soon which I'm looking forward to!

I love music, playing guitar, drawing, smoking and whisky 😉

Anyway did that in a bit of a weird, roundabout way but anyone who knows me probs wouldn't expect anything less! 

Fave player at the moment is Emi

Fave players I've seen in a Norwich shirt, Hucks, Holt, Ashton, Wessi, Howson

Best moment was definitely playoff final for me. What a day! 

Lots of love all...

Bobbo

Happy to talk about it. As of my last takeaway 198 days ago (on Boxing Day 2019, I worked in hospitality don't judge me) I was 18st 2lbs and now sit at a lithe 14st 9lbs. 

Good luck with your interview pal, it's a jungle out there currently.
