I knew my brother knew someone on this board extremely well but i could never figure it out. That is, until it dawned on me about three weeks ago.

I should have spotted it months ago!

That should solve it patsh!

A few months ago there was a silly juvenile **** on the eircom league board who kept pretending to be me or Conor.

One day (pretending to be me) he announced that i was going to be a dad, which was untrue.

The real conor read it and announced it here. Well you congratulated me and said it was some co-incidence that my brother had just become a father. By my powers of deduction (just like Sherlock Holmes) you had to know my brother to know that.

PS To everybody thanks for your good wishes at the time

but nobody is getting their presents back

I thought it was quite ironic that everybody knew Troy Mcclure and he wanted to be known by everybody, but to be honest I like my internet privacy by not having my name on the web all the time. Id say most people that know me here call me Troy and prob dont even know my real name (although 3 deff do). Im still ****ed that James found out though . Speaking of him actually, dont people call you Jimmy down in Skib Mr Greenham? Surely you have a facinating story behind your handle?

The Ramones could be card-carrying members of FF and I'd still love 'em.

The kings.

They've always had dodgy politics but I couldn't care less. Incidentally, they released a single in the 80s called Bonzo Goes to Bitburg about Reagan's tasteless visit to an SS war grave memorial thingy, so they're not all bad.

**4tothefloor** · 18/03/2004, 1:21 AM

4tothefloor is short for "four to the floor" (never!

), which is a term used to describe the beats in house and techno music. There's 4 beats to the bar in most dance music tracks (except Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, and R'n'Bling-bling), therefore four-to-the-floor is a term used by alot of dance music journalists when writing about dance. I've been using it since 1999 on dance message boards, so for convenience decided to use it on here aswell.

And used in Northern Soul many years before that.

The Criminal Justice Bill in the UK outlawed gatherings where people danced to "repetitive beats" which were defined as 4/4. I guess you had to be there.

And 4 to the floor does indeed come from Northern Soul and not from your namby pamby modern dance music.

I got mine shortly after the 1982 World Cup by some new found plastic mates on a trip to see Ireland v Spain in Dublin. They thought it highly amusing to name me after Roberto Lopez Ufarte (Oo - far - tay...who farted?..Geddit?..
