      I think it is. I had doubts to begin with because it’s so funny, but having read it all, he just seems like a funny guy and is probably trying to be funny in his diaries – it’s probably more enjoyable to write them that way.

    Why not scan the diaries? Then you can get a whole bunch onto your computer to transcribe at your leisure and reduce the risk of getting caught.

    I agree with Bob. Well said Bob.

      Burn them, burn them all… No don’t! That’s a fire hazard.

      32. In the diary, though, he is currently 29.

    Well, unless you post photos, I will continue to think it’s fake.
    That Edge thing, and giving the fact that your writing/sense of humor and his are too much alike, I’m pretty sure it’s all a made up story.
    I’ll continue to read because it’s entertaining nonetheless haha

      Like you, Simon, I think this is probably fake, although I still hold onto the hope that it’s real, and either way I still love it.

      My reasons though are that A: surely no one would actually do this for real? If they did they’d be the biggest arsehole, and B: surely Gareth would have found out by now?

      I’ve got 3 flatmates and have lived with them for a few years. We all have a similar sense of humour – that’s why we get on so well, so I’m not sure that you saying Ed and Gareth’s humour being too similar is a giveaway.

      Also, do men actually keep diaries? I never have.

        Based on the sense of humour alone, yes you are right. But their writing style is very similar too.Which doesn’t prove anything, but it surely create doubtfulness.

          There’s reasons for and against in every argument I guess.

          I’d love to see a photo of the diaries, if they are real.

      They are amazing! Although I wish they were real. Nothing beats the thrill of stealing a diary from a friend/loved one.

    Dear Ed,
    Does he ever get back with Hannah or does he find someone else?

    Can you give some sort of estimate for Beth’s size/weight? I can’t tell if she is huge or a little on the large side and Gareth is just a dick about her.

      I agree! I cant figure out if she is morbidly obese or just not super fit.

    Ed, can you sell things? Perhaps like t shirts? or sell the badges you make? I think for sure we would like to buy some merchandise!:))))))

      Hmmmm… I wouldn’t really know how to go about that. I’m not in it to make a buck, so I’m not after people’s money…. although, when Gareth finds out it would soften the blow if I’ve earnt him some cash!

        Haha, you should work on that before he finds out. I’m quite worried about your health when that day comes………..

    Can I take Gareth’s writing and turn them into a web series or show? I think it’d be great since it’s so hilarious already.

    Hi,
    Is this still going or have you finally been rumbled ?
    I loved this a few years back and then I totally forgot about it.
    Today I had a weird flashback so I excitedly came back on and it hasn’t been updated . Sad times.
