Anyway, I got to remembering some of the good times while bored at work today (a regular occurence) and yeah, it might be a bit sad, but some of the memories really did make me smile. UKchatforums.com must be my most visited website ever (still my homepage) and despite it just being a collection of poorly-designed .gif images and text-speak, sometimes it genuinely manages to make me laugh out loud (LOL).
So... in the spirit of one of my Shiznit lists, I want your top UKchatforums.com moments of all time, from throughout history - it can be favourite users, brilliant moments of realisation or just your favourite threads. I'll get us kicked off with a few memories that brightened up my day.
THE BELLDANDY SAGA - I've never had so much fun berating someone over the internet as I did with Belldandy. Probably still floating around somewhere under a newly mysterious (very probably Manga-related) username, Belldandy was NEVER WRONG. Even if he was, he wasn't. And if he really was, then he'd run away and not come out to play, until the next time he was wrong. It came close to bullying at a few points (I used to get his emails) but it was coming from both sides: Goaty, Light, Pandy, myself and others (all anti-war and common sense) versus the one man righteous army of Belldandy.
The Belldandy saga reached a hilarious conclusion, when on one of his many mysterious reappearances under another nick (HALO Fan), he was sussed by the lot of us and nevertheless proceeded to dispute it for several months, despite have all the curt mannerisms and blind flag-wankery that good old Bell had. It stopped being fun when we finally saw a picture of him on Special Observe, then realised our physical name calling was disturbingly prophetic.
There have been others, but none as more fun to bait as Belldandy.
> The "My Dad... just caught me

Er ... that wasn't me.
Although I did beat everyone with a terrible, terrible story about my sister along those lines.
Someone did a bud-light (I think that is what it is called) mock-up of Niddle. It was done using the picture of Niddle with Mr. Blair, Niddle was saying "My Dad caught me fapping. Fap fap fap fap fap fap fapping".
Excellent stuff.
> Does no one remember the My Dad caught me fapping thread by FFF?
It was HHAT!
Another personal fav was in the movies section, the Michael Moore thread, remember?
Wouldn't admit to never having seen it, and slating Chomsky without ever having read him. Then claimed he did have it, the same copy as me yet couldn't tell me a specific paragraph on a page when I asked.
Or "I've read about 1/4 of one Clancy book and didn't enjoy it" says me.
"YOU HAVEN'T READ CLANCY!!!!" screams Bell
"I know, I just said that"
"YOU HAVEN'T EVEN READ CLANCY!!!"
"Yes I know, I've said that"

Ahahahahaha I totally forgot about that delightful little twist, that was absolutely priceless.

Man, I wish I was there for that one. Sometimes with that guy it was extremely difficult to keep his personal details a secret, they were right there in front of me, mocking me, taunting me.
