Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[Ger Regan]

It's up there with the moon landing and jfk assassination, everyone remembers where they were when mooney completely lost it. I was in Barcelona, checking e-mails and a supposed-to-be quick browse through h&v. I think i stayed on for 2 hours after that....

The Mooney stuff is brilliant, but my rock with laughter bit always comes when Chico posts Springtime For Hitler.

PS.

There's also a good bit right at the start when Robobabble claims Doug's definitely, truly, this time I mean it, about to sell up any day now - in October 2005. Then he says that if Doug doesn't sell, he should be jailed for misleading the Stock Exchange.

[Ger Regan]

I'm pretty sure i'm going to get fired, but i've just reached the good stuff! it's worth it, in a way....

Dave, Robobabble was indeed entertaining but he was only the warm up act. That descent into lunacyshould be played at H&V ceremony awards night. It has to be the funniest thing I've ever read. Seeing someone literally cry, and punch his keyboard into submission was hilarious.

For those of yoiu that did not experience it, I'm sorry, but you really do have to start at page 1, pull the curtains, go to the bog, give yourself a couple of hours, and revel in what is pure comedy.

'300 hundred posts and no more. Fuck-off'...

[Warren Aspinall]

and when we get back to here,do we have to read it all again as we will be reading the posts that tell us to read it again or are we allowed to just carry on reading till the end,oh and can we still add a post or 2 or 3 or 4 on the end to keep the reading even longer,what if we start reading it over again & people keep posting on the end,will we ever get to the end,if not is there a warning signal we can send out telling the mods which page to rescue us from.If not can we set up a memorial thread in which family members can post for info on our last whereabouts,is there a point like the bermuda triangle were no ones ever come out of and if so can we be advised so the less brave of us can skip around it.

got to page 39 wow i'm bored with it already

[Legion]

Persevere. LaughingGravy is imminent.

[peter w]

Sorry Warren but you really do need to persevere. As Legion said it really is worth it. I said it before, Comedy Gold.

Jon Fear flaps his wings and a thunderstorm happens in H&V land.

Predictable.

21 pages at least.

At least. But he didn't foresee how the thread would pan out, did he?

[Bad English]

Andy Gray mentions in his book that Doug used to piss Atkinson off by hoovering around the training ground.

Tight old git! You think he'd have paid cleaners to do it.

This Fletcher speciality misquote provoked a chuckle.

How are you getting on now?

[Ger Regan]

Is it just me, or while reading through it, do you get the compulsion to reply to a post, only to remember that it was written back in 2005?

And just as valid now as it was then.

[pauliewalnuts]

I just started re-readign and first laughing-too-loud-in-office moment came on page 2, with someone described as

"The Supreme Commander Allied Villa Fans Europe, King of Kings, Star of Stage, Screen and Emmerdale Farm, Tsar of All the Russias, Most Merciful Monarch, CSE (Grade 5) Woodwork and Bar"

I think we'll find ourselves edging bacl to this thread more and more over the next few seasons.

Oh yes, it will still be thriving.
