still tipping towards Cinds  close to home, knows the area 

Is it Cosi?  I always thought drinking Stella was a bit posh 

Crunchy Nuts?

My guess is Cinds.

I thought it was 'outed' a few weeks back as Crunchy?  

I thought it was Crunchy, but since Frau Köln through her hat into the ring ......... Brought up near the Rühr valley ........ Lots of coal mines ....... Drink beer .....foreign language. *taps nose*

Whoever it is, is very good   They should do a comedy blog or something.

Bubbles was way funnier than the carp that's on tv! 

Awwwwww, don't tell be the Bubbles popped

I wish you wouldn't go Bubbles

It's meeeeeeee

Well you did a good job Crunchy

Cheers Baz. You were great for keeping the character going, always there interacting with him. Without you and others input it wouldn't have been possible to keep the Spennymoor wonder going as long as I did. So thanks!

Well I enjoyed all his dramas ...I was never 100% sure he wasn't real ....and anyway , it always made me laugh

 Thanks for giving us lots of laughs Crunchy  

Why retire him now ? 2009 /2014 long time to keep the "joke" up. 

It just felt right, Erin. There wasn't a planned time scale, it just sort of went on and on. I've been half tempted now and then in recent weeks to come up with something else for Whiskers/Bubbles, but I just felt it was time to end the "joke" and put Bubbles to rest. The time was right, I can't really explain why.

awwww Crunchy - I liked Bubbles!!

I see, he did have an odd interesting life...

Not 'arf He would have made a good BB contestant  

Awww. "bubbles". I'm kinda sad you felt you needed to come out because the fantasy was so well imagined mate.  But I think you need to know I think you should channel that comedy into something real. Have you? Because you should and I'd love to know if you'd ever perform in Edinburgh in the future. But you've done a great gig for us here Crunchy so I thank you so much for that. 

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm gobsmacked it's you.

Well done to you, Crunchy. Bubbles was a great, fun character and his escapades made me RL lol. 

Thanks for the laughs, Crunchy.  I did enjoy reading of Bubbles and his exploits - it was clever, creative and wickedly funny. 

Farewell, Bubbles, enjoy your retirement!

Crunchy, Thanks for the laughs over the years. I remember the C4 days when I would be crying with laughing at Bubbles.We'll miss the character, but life moves on. That film ^^^ is really good. Thanks again Crunchy. 

End of an era.

end of an error

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed my life. Maybe I'll write an autobiography or not!

And Cologne thanks, I take that as a compliment

Absolutely.

I'm sure I said a few times to Crunchy that I thought bubbles was one of his. Well done with it though, Bubbles from Spennymoor reminded me of of my nephew who lives just up the hill from Spenny.

But drinking lager?

I like a lager  Crunchy doesn't even like stella 

I divint nah nout   

(I could barely translate bubbles-speak and my lips used to move when I read his posts)  

Nice one, Crunchy  

only if there's a cocktail brolly and a maraschino cherry  

Stop it, I thought Crunchy had admitted it was him? Plus, I might come from that area, but trust me I do not use the slang, any slang was punished out of us. 

If he hasn't, it really wasn't me. Bloody hell, I thought it was all sorted.

it is Crunchy, but he doesn't like stella 

Thank you, I was reading this all & thinking surely?

Cosi got the blame too...we were going through all the C's 

What's funnier is, if we can look back you will all see I had being saying for ages who bubbles was/is. 

I had Jackson down for it Cinds   I think Crunchy should have had a big blow up with one of his exes before he retired him  and I mean the two of then on the forum having a right ding dong. 

Yes! That would have been brilliant! Do it anyway Crunchy!
