yass this thread is amazing..... i could add a lot to this thread. I probably will do so later on.

with approval

15 At the UK’s first official tournie TDI 1 hosted by the Doug in blackpool, april 2004. There were ZERO English smashers. The tournie consisted of 5 Dutch 7 Scots and The Doug who is half English/American.

16 In the three years that myself and Kone have been playing smash we have only met in tournament once at Edmas last year.

17 Outside of the Doug I am the UK’s most travelled smasher to foreign events. I’ve been to Sweden five times and The Netherlands twice

18 Grayfox used to be black and all his posts would consist of the word “son” atleast five times.

19 From the period of early 2004 till early 2005 The number of Scottish smash players far surpassed that of the English.

20 Jam5 was the first and only smasher to beat The Doug in a competitive tournament set.

21 There were no British tournaments between April 05 and April 06

I think this is the by far the best fact. I often find myself not wanting to play freindlies against a few players just because they would take them too seriously. Freindlies are about having abit of fun. Also if someone cracks out a low tier it's not johns most of the time it's just fun.... FUN!!

This is by far the greatest thread ive ever read. Hats of to JamIndustries and RyanSocksEntertainment , though i ish i knew who they were :/

I like all the points. Coey actually named the worst one his favourite. I like that.

My favourite is about comp being a tit. Id like to chip in and say he hit THREE girls, one from behind and one of them was a serious diabetic. He also broke a guys nose who tried to stop comp. He spent 36 hours in a newcastle police cell. I sat at in court as his only support (at this i trhought he hadnt done anything wrong) and felt like a right mug. On leaving the station comps white shirt was covered in blood stains.

yeah, that was fun ^________________________^

22 - The UK has the best trash talk in the whole of Europe. This may or may not be because of the fact that English is the Standard language.
