Hard as it is to believe, I have been here just over 3 years now. I got around to digging out old downloaded files and signature graphics from my time and thought I might present a few of my personal favourites...

SIGNATURE IMAGES

Post your past on TVF and MP247. Anything from your signatures to funny videos or MP3s, such as the infamous Jarongate affair, or any saved awful mocks from other members. Indulge, fellow members.

PMSL!!!

That computer guy one had me nearly wetting self!

"cweatin websoites..." hahaha!

I did have a lot of stuff downloaded from years gone by about all these saga's but the hard drive has sadly killed itself so only bits and pieces exist.

One thing I found was this screen capture from News 24 during the JarongateII affair.


I also found this exclusive new bulletin from BBC News 24.

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this clip.

I can also reveal that, I think, during JarongateII I did manage to get some genuine shots of Jaron.... eventually. Lets look at sample 1 - clearly as we all know is not accurate at all.



The second example is far more accurate. On seeing this webcam footage I was told it was a "video" from the past in which was shown to "test" my "reliability" however there were a number of giveaways. The BBC NEWS T-Shirt the Apple Ibook/Powerbook all very recent items at the time.



I am still trawling the server as there is no doubt more. I think I have the Murder She Wrote special on there somewhere.

PMSL!! "SAUSAGE OR BEANS?"

Anthony's "On-the-road" rebrand makes top story:









The judges don't think much of "radio-wannabe" James Martin on Neon Radio Idol:




Classic sigs:






















Other stuff:



When Kay truly ruled TV Forum:








Forum favourite Owen, of course:








Chatroom halcyon days - during the War of Turrr and the Operation TV Forum Freedom, Angie joined us:




And let us not forget, the programme that epitomises TV Forum:



I think this and this sum it up!

a quick look around my comp found a variety of forum antiques - in no particular order

JARON SHE WROTE TITLES

ROFL that has made me chuckle. Other than the Jaron She Wrote titles the whole collection highlights how so much other than Jaron has happened. Truly hilarious.

I must have missed one bit, what's the Asda woman about?

Big Brother wrote:what's the Asda woman about?

thats the one and only maggie mash, queen of ytv continuity and asda fm.

I was hoping someone would upload the Jaron She Wrote titles again. Oh and that picture of Martin, does anyone remember the spoof BBC One ident that went with it. Great Stuff.

I know they were cruel, but I would love to see the MDTA+Shopping Bags series, including the various billboard posters.

The Lee Stanley banana incident...I remember starting up a very controversial thread about that in the old Lounge with pictures courtesy of tvmercia (if memory serves me right).

Lol - what a good thread this is. I have no idea what half the stuff is about, though!

What was the Jaron incident?!
