I may be one of the few to remember him.
BadDoggie has just passed away. In real life he was Zyg, on Facebook Farley Finster.

Known for his acidic posting style and love of curry. He moved to the UK many years ago.

Alas! I remember him well.

His rants and screams of pure, uanadulturated, intelligent, laser focused rage on TT were always to the point and hilarious.
I never met the the man in spite of a shared love of curry, but I liked him. Bash away at the idiots in the afterlife, my friend!!

woof.

BadDoggie was a very naughty puppy and fucking hilarious.

Howl at at The Doom, Doggie and chew the Devil's slippers...

To quote: "Interests ... making you regret getting into an argument with me."

Woof

Sad news indeed

he had a very funny way of answering people. He was online a couple of times about a year ago.

[tor 17,547]

Very sad news. I think I met him once, before I was on Toytown. I was auditioning in Munich and went to the Arc.

[Krieg 15,112]

Oh man, that's sad. IIRC he had small kids. I wish his family the best.

[Malcolm Spudbury 3,546]

That's sad news. I remember him well, from the early days of TT, although I only met him a couple of times.

Also photo of mr amazing eyebrows. And being called Darling must have been fun. Echoed by Blackadder. RIP AC. TBH I am not always a fan of hair dye stuff. I am also not saying AC did it. But either way it looks cool and be much less work than scalp hair stuff. I do not suppose Chris Witty cares, and Joe Biden has left it too late and would only attract ridicule, but
