AndyW is my mate, innit.
We work inna call centre, doing night shifts.
'E's a well k00l dude, man.
I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine. I'll be fine.
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit, I can't get a life if my heart's not in it. -

I'm as old as the hills and only have a sketchy second-hand idea. I assume he was a poster who went against the grain (by no means a bad thing on this forum), but he can't have been around for very long & why he's become such a playground legend I've no idea.Comment

Someone who entered the CUK zeitgeist, and was taken on board as a mascot for juvenile postings.
However, times move on, and the only people who still insist on commerating his memory are somewhat akin to"Adults who like to get down with the funky kids and use words like "Pants", and "Wicked" "
It's not funny anymore. Seriously.
It's a tired joke that has gone stale. 3 years ago.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
