FMTTM in-jokes

I was thinking about that the other day when he did move.

I can't remember who posted the original JS and one other thread. Did they leave?

When was it, must be about 10 years ago now.

Scoea I believe he was called. He did have some insight into the runnings of the club, but the tone of some of his posts often rubbed people up the wrong way.
 
For example, I don't know where 'Are you a real captain' comes from, but I always get a minor nod of recognition from a couple of oldies when I deploy it.

I've always assumed that was first aimed at captain5, but am probably wrong. One of a few lost posters I actually miss.
'Snowing like a beehatch' is one I never quite got.
 
"My hovercraft is full of eels", which I as someone who has been on here for more than 25 years (!) dont remember what it's from.
As previously mentioned, it's from a Monty Python sketch about a Bulgarian (Hungarian?) phrase book, but it was deployed as part of the Reply Club I set up to counter a spate of trolls on the board at the time (ie someone posts a trolling message and everyone replies with "my hovercraft is full of eels" instead of biting).
