    I'm delighted but frustrated I found this thread. For the first few pages I laughed so hard I cried, and I followed Trent's every move, but then it switched to the closed blog and everything was lost. Is there anywhere I can see the entire saga?

    I came to boards.ie on the recommendation of a friend.
    She failed to mention this thread? WHY?

    I should have been in bed ages ago (early start, im not 12)!

    I almost fainted twice from laughing so hard.
    I actually leeked pee! Im not even ashamed. Trent wouldn't.
    My right hand is numb from scrolling.

    Best night of my life by far.
    I love Trent.

    Do you need more money? We can forward you an advance if you like?

    We could definitely crowdfund this, on a pay-per-word (one a day) basis. No proper nouns, so Trent is not worth a cent.

    If necessary, we could agree a reduced rate on a pay-per-letter (again, one a day) basis. Sequences of letters, terminated by a space (to be provided gratis by the author) must constitute an actual word. No neologisms from Finnegan's Wake, unless in context. Context to be determined at end of sentence, to be indicated by a period followed by two spaces.

    Ajopoliez, hav'net red tread.

    Another twitter sighting!

    “Your eyes are like tesco carpark’ said the supermodel ‘I could get lost in them....’ but Trent wasn’t listening , a new type of gun had been invented and he was thinking of that. Then he had sex with her. Hahaha thought Trent, and a bit about the new gun still too.

    Absolutely worth it if so...one for reading this comedic genius...and two for the pain I know I've just inflicted on long time followers thinking Trent is back when it's only me :pac:

    Any chance the mods could add a post in massive bold capital letters discouraging future posters from posting ... unless they are padraiggg of course.

    No there should be no burning. In the tradition of the thread Trent should sleep with him and then kill him. I want to hear some SKRRKing too.

    Chapter 1



    A man in a hat entered the room. He took off the hat. “It's you!” They all said. At the same time like a class speaking to a teacher. “Hahaha Hello gentleman”, the man in the hat said, putting the hat on the table. “And hello ladies he said. Turning to the ladies and lifting his hat politely. “Leave us alone Trent!” The women said. Perhaps it was because the were angry at him for something he had done in the past, a long, long time ago. Or perhaps it was because he was holding a gun at them! The gun came from nowhere. He had got it out of his pocket and now both bullets were aimed at the people.”Say your prayers!” The man said but one of the men grabbed the gun, knocking the table with the hat on it and some other things on the floor. A vase got broken. Now the gun was in the other hands and we would have to wait and see if it was the right hands.



    got this far, now got to work out what happens next!

    That was actually quite special. The genius of this first part goes unnoticed because the thread got popular, but bang bang three bangs out of three.

    Is there even any sense of who was behind it all? Seems like it was such a concerted, deliberate persona it couldn't have been completely improvised...

    It was indeed! There was chapters and padraiggg was considering publishing the Trent Adventures but sadly nothing came of it

    No idea. He is as mysterious (and dangerous) as Trent.
