January 2010

Behind this wall of pay is January 2010.  That's 31 days of Gareth gold.

All it costs to enter is £1.34 - that's about the same as buying 134 washing machines that cost a penny each.

Get More Gareth!

    Question for everybody who reads this site:

    Do you like Gareth and would you be friends with him?

    I have frequent arguments with my mate about this. I like Gareth, I think he’s funny and although quite critical of those around him, he does care about people. I like to think that if I knew him, we’d be friends. My mate thinks Gareth is a miserable arsehole who doesn’t really give a damn about anyone but himself, and if he knew Gareth, he’d avoid him like he plague. He also thinks he’s a bit pathetic and should ‘just get over Hannah.’

    What does everyone else think? I don’t have enough people to talk about this site with, so be good to know.

      I would be friends with Gareth. I have the same sense of humor and I would do a lot of the things he does to others, like switching the gears on the security guards bike, or drawing on the models in the paper just to mess with someone.

      I hope you find the story.

      I love Gareth! I would definitely be friends with him. Panda on the other hand would do my head in. I don’t like him.

      I am almost identical to Gareth except I don’t dwell on past girls. Disillusioned with work, nothing to really look forward to, and even have the drunk friends who always seem to find the hot sleazy chicks ha ha. I would definitely be his friend.

      For the first few months I wasn’t sure, but I think I would like Gareth. I like how he reacts to a lot of situations, and am impressed by how he finds ways to entertain himself. If nothing else, I am sure weirdly invested in his story now.

      I don’t have a copy, but I’ll see if I can find it in his room. We wrote it as a joke – a children’s story that could never be read to a child. Also, it’s probably only funny to us. But if I can find it, I’ll stick it on the site.

    Sounds stupid but I keep having to remember that it’s Ed who runs this website not Gareth… I think I’d get on with Gareth but he seems a little two-faced, like he wouldn’t tell anyone any of this to their face, but on the other hand this is his diary….

    I need to have more of this!!! Instead of typnig it all out, why don’t you just scan the pages and upload them as pictures? Granted, the typing and being forced to wait for more installments does give this site a certain charm but it means we could have the next two years in a few weeks and it would be less work for you. Think about it!

    Ps. Gareth is a hero – I would definitely be mates with him.

      I thought the same thing! I had to try to think back where he tripped, and then thought “Damn.. he still remembers that?”!

    I genuinely mini-clap when I see an update on the site and then immediately email all my work colleagues to inform them.

    We then all have to pretend to work whilst secretly reading in hysterics 🙂

    Keep them coming, and the nations workforce laughing!

    Did Gareth find out and kick you so hard in the balls that you died?

    Amazing!! I would probably be friends with Gareth but wouldn’t introduce him to any of my female friends. Or if I did I’d probably say he was really good fun but would probably be a dick as a boyfriend..that said, I was so proud of him when he poured a pint in that guy’s bag who was slagging of Beth for being fat! Maybe he does have a heart..

    Found this this week and just spent a hungover Sunday reading. I’m hooked. Spotted the break-up a fucking mile off. Shame, especially as it seems to have kicked off a tough patch for Gareth. I’d be friends with Gareth, but I’d definitely have a pop at Hannah, she sounds fit.

    This is bloody addictive reading, I find myself constantly checking to see what happens next. I also want you to update it now to 2012 so that we can find out what Gareth is up to now. Would be brilliant to hear his opinions on current affairs etc as they happen.

    Part of me also imagines that even if he does win Hannah back that eventually her or someone she knows will stumble across this site….but that diary entry would make for sensational reading 🙂

    Love this. Have been addictively reading the whole thing over the past few days.

    How much material is there to come? At one point, Gareth mentioned his many journals and I was like Pavlov’s dogs…

    Also, for a minute there in the January updates, I thought the subtext was that Gareth was about to come out and confirm a relationship with Jack. But maybe not…

    Keep up the good work.

    I found this internet gold on Reddit, and I’ve spent my entire day reading it off an on. I felt as though I was invading privacy at first, but then I came to the conclusion I was just supporting a man whom I didn’t know. I love this. It gives me such insight into men’s psyche, especially regarding women. He may be a little extreme sometimes, but still a man, and I adore him! I hope he finds something great. I hope things work out for him. I hope his life gets better.

    Damn, I thought when you updated it there would be more than one entry. I dunno why I’m so addicted to this story. Maybe I’ll fly out to England, find this guy and steal his diaries myself.

    This is incredibly addicting. It’s really interesting to see life from a different point of view, with all the good and bad things. All these things for Hanna…I need to read more!

    “I think he was worried about having to spend an evening with the others without someone normal there. Little does he know, I’m not normal, and one day I’ll destroy them all.” – This sums Gareth up in a nutshell. Amazing
