I thought he was an immortal fish fingers pirate.

I dunno who he is, but RIP Captain Birdseye!

That's a shame, although he wasn't my Captain Birdseye. I preferred the newer one.

For a while in the late 90s, Captain Birdseye became a much younger, rugged, dark-haired man with designer stubble and a miniature submarine, who indulged in far more action-packed adventures accompanied by his pet pelican named Pedro, the advertising agencies presumably believing that the older white-bearded man would no longer have the same appeal to children as he once did. This version did not last long however, and the better-known version soon returned.

I hope you don't mean THAT one.

He's with the great fish finger in the sky now.

So fucking what, had you all been trolling a captain birdseye forum and are now suffering guilt pains??

 

[whisky]

is there anything in life you actually get, or do you wander through the world in a perminant state of confusion?

 

[CaptainWacky]

I don't understand why he equates trolling with being a worthwhile human being.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I get the impression he walks down the street with a seething anger building inside as he discovers that NOBODY is trolling anyone. The lollipop ladies aren't trolling the kids, the shopkeepers aren't trolling the customers, even the pigeons on the pavement are learning to get along. For some inexplicable reason people all around are actually getting on with their lives and not being cunts.

I hope you don't mean THAT one.

I'd forgotten about him. He got kicked overboard pretty quick. I suppose they hoped the housewives would want him (and his fish fingers..), but it didn't work out.

Housewives prefer an old man with a beard who will take care of them.
