In 2008 I set about my most extravagant April Fool, and as today I've discovered part of it saved on my laptop, I feel like sharing.
Firstly, I invented a name and found a photo of an obscured friend's face. Then I spent quite some time setting up e-mail accounts and Facebook for 'Stu Smith'. Once set up I started sending friend requests, and having quite a few conversations like the one below.......

As you can see, this was 6 days into the game, and by this point the real me was receiving calls and texts from people asking if I could remember this wanker. Old school friends were convinced that 'Stu' was coming to a reunion!
After about 3 weeks I got bored of 'Stu', and I no longer remember the fake details I came up with, or the password to any of his accounts, but he does get wished happy birthday, has now acquired over 30 friends (I'm not accepting any requests) and is still on Facebook. So, if you want a friend who doesn't bother you, add 'Stu'.
