Please read - forum closure [April Fool]

[Rustyblade]

You. Complete. And. Utter. Bastards. :thumbup:

 

[Linz]

Yes, sorry chaps. I have been maintaining my silence but it's got to the point that I felt so sorry for the people PMing me that I have started owning up and pointing them in this direction. Thanks to everyone for being a good sport and very genuine thanks for the messages of support!

Highbury, you might wanna retract that comment about moderation with a "mature policy" and as for everyone else, you'll be pleased to note too that for this thread at least, there's a "personal abuse amnesty". I do think we kind of deserve it

There is one more little easter egg to be found before midday though...

 

[Foxy]

I'm genuinely shocked by how many people fell for this one

Think of it as our service, getting you prepared for the rest of the day!

 

[Linz]

And if it's any consolation, we're bloody knackered

We stayed up until 2am in case we had to talk anyone else off the ledge like Flat Bob!

 

[LouTheBlade]

Excellent prank. Had me fooled until I read the line about "Fatboy and Fatty" as that's clearly not libellous.

Personally I think it would have even funnier if you'd said that full details of the offenders had been passed on to Fatboy's lawyers. Then sit back and watch the outrage! :thumbup:

Haha. To be fair Sothall I have absoultely no idea what is classed as libellous nowadays so that part had me fooled. In today's society you don't know what you are/not allowed to say. That's why I generally keep my mouth shut

Fair play for twigging before me though :thumbup:

I'm sure he's gone off line sulking:thumbup:

 

[IOM Blade]

Had me done up like a (manx) kipper until the last paragraph. Superb guys.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

In my defence, it was a mate's 30th and i'd imbibed a fair amount of champers.

I'm just glad i only restricted my rage to posting on bladesmad. I was sorely tempted to put a few choice comments on one of his daily mail articles......

 

[Torrix1889]

You had got me right until the last line, excellent stuff.

 

[JJ Sefton]

Excellent stuff.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

I'm sure he's gone off line sulking:thumbup:

I thought I was being supportive :shakehead , once I'd made sure I was in the clear of course.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

I bet 'fat bastard' himself has had a chuckle at this.

 

[JJ Sefton]

More April Fool's japery...

Hook, line and sinker! You naughty people.

 

[Robbie]

I just so wanted it to be true they'd said that about the rustlers burgers hahaha

Well done, first smile I've had on my face since the Blackpool game

Keep up the good work in a mature and sedate sort of way.

I am very upset that no-one tracked down Brian the Badly-Cut-Out Bolivian Pirate Llama who had infested quite a lot of links on the front page (a reference to the Bolivian hackers who keep trying to infest us!)

It seems everyone was too busy refreshing this thread to go off and find him

[LasVegasBlade]

Very nicely played!

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

And if you hadn't been asleep you'd have fell for it as well.

 

[Samantha]

Sorry guys you didn't get me.

You may have got me, but I was reading the forum off my phone in the early hours, so of course I couldn't read the attachment so thought nothing of it. I looked again this morning, noticed it was posted at 12.01am and thought "ah-ha, I know this game"!

Love the attachment though, that is pretty funny. Although solicitors are LLPs not LLBs

Correct; when I did my law degree it was a Bachelor of Law aka LLB.

I was so chuffed that i opened the PDF as I thought it was about me. I got a huge bollocking a few weeks ago for hinting/saying things about deals my firm were involved in. Then i saw that and thought oh my god....nearly had a Vodka before i decided to check it out...that is a great april fools!

 

[SwissBlade]

Great work, pity I missed it! So I can happily say I didn't fall for it

 

[Foxy]

Bump... Muhahaha
