Introductions, part V: Don't Say We Never Warned You.

[Meunster]

Good news everyone.

GoduckGo still has us as the worst forum on the internet.

[hooplala]

Whew!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Thank baby jesus in heaven.

It was actually about five or six years ago when I joined. Left early 2013. Damn. I thought that had been longer. Time is weird.

So is this an ego-stroking game in which you try to see whether anyone can remember which former member you are?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Because theoretically you're an adult now.

I thought about trying to look back in the archives to figure it out myself - there weren't that many British people around, I don't remember any Brit-teens when I was 19-20... and maybe I'm underestimating the draw of Canterbury's theology department, but it doesn't seem like it'd be a hot destination for foreign students.

Then I realized I just don't care that much. There was the racist asshole who posted rants about how we should shut up because we're so mean (I remember writing a counter-rant calling for people to shout more just because he annoyed me) but... I'm pretty sure he was American, and 20-something.

I think I know who it is, but I don't remember his name. Angsty European teen who was taking a bunch of drugs and boning some meth whore his mother didn't like.

[Demolition Squid]

Oooooh. Yeah. That rings a bell now.

[Cain]

Dalekk?

Dalek?  But he's in some former iron curtain nation.  Alberta or something.

[Demolition Squid]

I don't think he'll be a European student. Nigel Farage assured me that they don't actually study, they just come here to get high-paying jobs making sandwiches and drive slowly in the middle lane.

[LMNO]

I think the fact he wwon't tell is, well... telling.


fuck it.  I'm curious, but not wasting my time.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Dalekk?

That sounds familiar.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Someone who spent several years with us, but doesn't care to tell us who he is.

[outoftheloop]

yeah, Dalekk.

Fucking love Nigel Farage. The amount of jokes he's allowed me to make - once I moved to the UK, Bulgarians already had a semi-mythical status of shape-shifting house-stealing, wife-raping wizards.
