Forum Signatures

 

Due to a slight problem with my email I’m currently downloading 14000 emails over the last few years. I don’t know why Thunderbird suddenly decided to download everything agian, but I spotted some emails that I thought I’d deleted but are obviously still on the server.

Some of these emails were from forum posts made many years ago and I spotted some rather funny or thought provoking signatures in there. So, I’d like to share them:
