Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

We need a holiday

    You know folks, I've been thinking: we've all been palling around on this site for some time now, getting up to all sorts of japes and scrapes and generally behaving like the dashing gay blades that we all undoubtedly are. Some of us apparently go to things called "boards beers" even and know what each other look like in "real life". So here's the deal: Isnt about time we just cut to the chase and all went off on holliers together?

    Thats right, think about it people. It could be a bit a like "carry on camping" meets "fear and loathing in las vegas". bartabs run up, rooms thrashed, babies made, friendships forged then broken and dramatically reforged as trains pull away from stations, airplanes missed, people arrested for molesting childrens shoes, sure t'would be mighty craic altogether. And there's so many of us we could block book a hotel and live like kings.


    So where are we off to and whos going to be barbara windsor? Suggestions and nominations for the organising commitee please

    Ah yes. Babies made, killed then eaten. The circle of life.

    Charleville Castle.
    "rooms thrashed" - check.
    Possibilities for hilarious antics / misadventures in the surroundings woods - check.
    We can have puns like "bump in the night" - check.

    "whos going to be barbara windsor"? - it's a long list of possibilities of tarts who're all talk and tits and no brain. Like... no, wait. I'd have to ban me.

    Ugh. You're from the Northside. I don't associate with people like you.*



























    I'd go, but I'm not allowed leave the country at the moment.

    I presume you mean a virtual holiday, like everyone upping and offing to... I don't know... askaboutmoney.com or politics.ie for a week. Or a fortnight. They say you need a fortnight for a real break.

    Hmmm.... good point but we would need internet to keep anyone on boards who didn't go apprised of the casualty rate

    Or another great vacation idea: for one week we lock down the server and everyone has to post on boards.us
