EDF GOLD - Memorable threads of years gone by

[Louisa]

So with the recent nostalgia thread about how long people have been posting on the forum, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on some of the most memorable moments in the history of the forum.

One of my personal favourites was the daffodil thread from 2009.

Colin the cat flap fitter was EDF gold. Also the 'crushed and devalued' thread.

[Robert Poste's Child]

The supernatural has always been fruitful. Think there was an older one than this but the tone would've been much the same.

Any thread involving Honaloochie B, really.

[Louisa]

A quality thread needs Jah Lush, Otta, ????, StraferJack, El Pibe, Jeremy and Mick Mac. And how could I forget bob and *Bob*, DulwichFox and Sue. Many more missed too. SimonM is greatly missed by everyone, and what?s happened to computedshorty?

*sigh*

Er, I'm still here ..... :))

A Million % right.

Easily, the wittiest and most consistently hilarious person on here over the last decade or so by a Country Mile.

I would love to know him in real life as he was superb.

[Robert Poste's Child]

I always thought he was more of a forum persona than a real person. There were a few of those back then. Very amusing, though, and came across as a sympathethic character who knew the diffence between teasing and bear-baiting and always stayed on the right side of the line.

I somehow missed Colin the Catflap Fitter thread. Sadly it disappeared before I saw it.

The privet hedge thread springs to mind and the Osbourne Stewart one as well.

And, as someone said before, the 'crushed and devalued' thread.

He wasn't in great health if I remember rightly. I do hope he's OK, as he was a truly amazing story teller. I loved his posts.

[BunnyBurrow]

The Poo Thread!!! Aaahhh who remembers the Poo thread?

Quickly morphing from incredulous disgust to quick-witted hilarity it was clearly the best thread the forum had ever seen.

Such a shame that the poopetrator (who was easily identifiable at the time as being the stag of a stag do in the EDT) felt so panicked that he and his friends bullied and threatened the OP into having the thread removed.

Not before several thousand EDFers had read it of course.

😂

Who remembers strange bottles of orange liquid? That went on for a while.

[Robert Poste's Child]

The one on Ched Evans, the footballer, got rather intense.

[civilservant]

woodrot - where's he? and whatever happened to gingerbeer?

[Alan Medic]

I think woodrot came and went under different names. Gingerbeer was American and came here on a temporary basis if I remember correctly.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

When Gingerbeer introduced herself on here - that thread was good. the sharks circled.

GB is well and dandy and in USA, Im a FB friend. She was great fun and loved London.

Foie Gras (incorporating 'Ponce-Gate')was quite a little epic.

[Bob Buzzard]

What about me? Does anyone remember me? I'm here too.

[Alan Medic]

A mere 255 posts Bob. One for each new potential business venture?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Does anyone remember the poor soul who suffered from Erectile Dysfunction, and must have googled EDF and ended up on here seeking advice?

I think he was very gently dealt with sympathetically, but boy that could have gone anywhere...
