BOFH - A highly entertaining read

Makhaira · 3 Nov 2010 at 12:40

Well I know most of you will know exactly what I talk about when I thank Simon T for the years of entertainment he has given me with the BOFH stories. I thought I'd stick a post in GD just to hopefully introduce one new member here to the wonder of the BOFH, since that will be a job well done.

So, if you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the link below:

Started off brilliantly, but have fallen short in recent months (possibly years).
Still worth a read though.

Spent a few weeks of free time at work to read every single one, ever.

Haven't read BOFH in years.

Might have to start again.

Same. Haven't read it since about 2007.

It all got a bit samey.

They're all a little predictable now, though the recent robot story arc was amusing.

Agreed, they used to be much better up to about a year or two ago.

I spent a few evenings reading through all of these about 6 years ago and then tried to keep up with it from there. In the end I fell out of reading it because it was so samey, the very early ones were the best because they were funny and plausible.

The best of BOFH were the college years, the first few years of business were funny, after that, it has slowly gone downhill, but then, I've not looked at it for most of the last five years.
