The greatest ever 606 characters, wummers and beefs? Old and new

First topic message reminder :

Can all get a bit serious on here, so why not reminisce a little?

Funniest characters, beefs you have had, wummers you love to hate, the whole capang.

Beefs: I haven't had many really. Just short lived ones. I think Seanmichaels threatened to "find me" once (might not have been him) on the old 606, but we're golden now haha.

I also beef with Az ona reg basis here.

For me the old Dave667 v Truss battles were funny. Dave doesn't post so much now but he was always fun.

Truss and his aliases like Wussman (remember him?)

The way Windmill put people down in such a scholarly fashion.

Shenglong, brilliant. When he used to put his headlinesque posts on the beeb site, haha.

Steffan was fun.

Emore makes me laugh.

Loved Howthefook on the old site. Such a nice guy from his posts. Shame he left. Pacman79 was cool, too

And Spring. The original Spring, brilliant. "Marquez is ducking Naz cos...."

Milky, I've a strong suspicion that the legendary DADGAD was later to become the even more legendary Human Windmill. The name change came at a time when everyone's names were being mucked about by the beeb. I once asked Windy about it, and he replied with a fairly broad hint and a wink.

To be fair - most of the locked ones are because of Azania!

Most that hit the 200 mark on posts are usually something to do with him too!

Never ceases to amaze me how Az can drag a thread out from nothing into an 8 page epic often for the sole purpose of being either deliberately contrarian or simply being determined to argue black is blue.

simply being determined to argue black is blue

Don't start him. When he gets going (over Khan usually) I have this mental image of him being like this:

Interesting captain, certainly the knowledge and styles had a certain similarity

He was a guitar player too, which adds more weight to the theory.

I'm never contrarian or argumentative. I just have interesting things to say
