I've read every single BOFH since it was started in the mid 90's and its a classic. Sourbastard pointed it out to me.

Just need a PFY on here and we are all set.

Edit: Just noticed Episode 11 for this year has been removed off the site. Wonder why?

I'd forgotten about the BOFH and the PFY since I lost all my bookmarks. Ahh the things they do to their boss, I think I'd better start catching up.

I remember in the mid 90s, when I was using a dodgy 9600 baud modem that often would have the power adapter fall out of the back while I was using it, before I started using the internet (anybody else remember dialing into your local BBS?), I had a friend come over with a disk, and insist I read the text file that was on it. You guessed it, it was the BOFH, and I've been a fan ever since.

I couldn't agree more, know of any links to where I can read some of the pre-register stuff again?

Cool, thanks for that.

Anybody got anything else like this that they could give us all links to? For example, I also get a laugh out of (And I'd be suprised if I was the only one who does around here) Dilbert - (http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/) any suggestions from anyone else?
