Hi there,
There is an issue with role permissions that is being worked on at the moment.

Should boardsies be allowed go out with one another?

Pighead · 2008-07-03 15:06:16

Pighead says no. Its just too messy and brings unwanted tension and friction to the forums. For couples who post together the unresolved argument from the night before over who should put the bins out can often spill over into the forums causing dark clouds of discontent to rumble over the masses. Its like your 14 all over…

Thats a pretty big question alright tbh. And one that had to be asked.

An even bigger question would be, what the hell does Droit de signeur mean?

So tbh is asking if its ok for DeVore, Vexorg , Regi and the other one who nobody ever remembers to deflower any boards virgin before the unwashed masses get their grubby paws on the dainty freshly gusseted young ladies.

Pigheads going to stand up for the virgins and say: No it's not ok.

Thank you Kiera, you have just proved Pigheads point more eloquently than anybody else could ever have done.

There you have it folks. A victim of a boards break up has worn her heart on her sleeve and told of the traumatic and harrowing events that occured after their bitter and brutal break up.

Haha, well actually i didnt think it was a big deal and the next guy i meet i'll tell him to check out boards. There's quite a few couples on boards and you wouldnt know so there's no big deal really.

P.S. I knew you'd be on my arse, Pigface!! Leave me alone!!!

Doubt it. Pighead knows of all five official couples and each and every one of them have in the past shown the strain and pressures that a boards romance brings to the table. Name Pighead just one happy boards couple. Go on, JUST ONE.

One happy boards couple?
The King and the Queen in Chess.
That Queen is flexible. King's a bit of a one trick pony, but the Queen is very protective.

Smccarrick and myself! Though we are probably just gross I did meet him years before we were on boards though (he introduced me to boards). Sure, I post after him the odd time, we have similar interests.

Sorry Cathy but the whole perfect relationship with smccarick just doesn't wash with Pighead. It's just seems too perfect. Pighead has a feeling that it's all a sham. As soon as you both log off from boards then the real relationship rears it's ugly head.A bit like these two.

You're garden may be blooming sillysausage but we're talking about relationships here.
Here's a recent quote from you

Mrs_Doyle wrote: »

I do miss certain aspects of single life.

It was nice to only have to consider myself when making plans.

It was nice to be able to book spontaneous holidays, without consulting the OH, and last minute nights out where good too.

Its not as easy to be spontaneous when your in a relationship. Sure, you can do semi-spontaneous coupley things, but you always have to consider someone else before making any plans.

Ah yes, another boards relationship feels the strain of the public gaze.

Out of context nothing. Pighead is just the messenger here. Next you'll be telling us all that connundrum wasn't talking about sillysausage when he said this.

Anyone who believes Pighead is serious when he asks should Boardsies be allowed go out with one another... he's not.

Also, simu and nesf had a baby, not an argument (well, maybe both). But a baby is gonna restrict your time to post on Boards. I've a feeling someone believed the argument thing about simu no longer posting as a result of it...

S-mods have it. The reason I stopped being an S-mod is because I kept looking at the virgins, saying "meh" and then taking tSubh Dearg to bed. Granted I'd sometimes take one or two virgins too, but overall I was seen as letting the side down and the complaints from the virgins who were left remaining virgo intacta was awkward to deal with. Hence they kicked me out.
