    I got a pm off somebody with no posts...saying they had looked through my posts, and saw the advice i gave, sounded like i had "been around the block" (wtf!) and some other random stuff.....which i found quite strange.

    Just wondering do people normally get random pm's from strange people...or...what...?

    I have never got any random pm's(though as of late, I have heard a few people talking about it), if they are bothering you, contact one of the admins.

    Ya i got one. A bit weird i just ignore pm's from people i don't know!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭Femelade


    not bothering..just kinda strange i guess..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭Gandhi


    In all fairness Femmy, getting your t*ts out in your avatar is not a good way to discourage weirdos.

    Sometimes, back in the day when my journal dealie was listed on the front page, I'd get the most totally rrrrrrrrandom pm's from posters I'd never seen or heard of. That was cool.

    Its died down an awful lot lately, its now mostly the hate mail, which I don't get half enough of.

    No


    I got a PM from some guy who was coming to Galway and wanted to meet up for a pint. He never came, and I had the rubber sheets and whips all oiled up...

    :confused: Surely every initial pm from someone is from someone you don't know! :confused:

    Femmy, personally I'd forward the pm to an admin. Sender not having any posts and the pm content sets off all the alarm bells for me.

    no random pm's, but i did have some guy recognise me in the pub. he said he knew who i was from the "know your nerds" thread. he mentioned something about me having fairly strong views on certain things.
    i asked what name he posted under and he told me he was banned a few years back.
    then something else happened, but i can't remember it because i was fairly drunk at the time.

    I tend to get a lot of PMs from strangers asking for advice about this, that and the other... oh and the occasional national DJ who gets upset when people say nasty things about them on the internet.

    Hes not even a good DJ.
    He made my ears bleed.

    I get pms a lot from people who know me IRL but didn't know I was on boards.

    BTW pm's is the incorrect syntax.

    Wow you get hate mail ? I am so jealous.

    Kernel and Angrybadger if you have and questions that your mother's or sister's didnt cover with you I am sure there are websites and can explain a few things to you.

    Who talks about periods with their mothers or sisters. I'm a man damnit! A bloke down the pub told me all I need to know about them anyway: Never trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die.

    Stephen Lynch Lyrics - Down To The Old Pub Instead Lyrics

    Lad, it's your duty to find ye a lass
    With child-bearing hips and a pink, supple ass
    And make her your wife and love her with love so true
    Now some rivers run high, some rivers run low
    When her river runs red, then she's starting her flow
    And it's called menstr'ation, and here's what it means to you

    You will notice her bloomers are spotty at first
    Stand back – her ovarian dam's gonna burst
    Son, don't be afraid, it's a natural t'ing
    Just wad up some cotton and hand her some string
    Put the old linens on top of the bed
    Get out of the house and go down to the old pub instead


    She'll retain her water, her breasts will be tender
    And every third word that you say will offend her
    Get out of the house and go down to the old pub instead
    And she'll want to make love – if you do, you're a fool
    'Cause you'll only end up with a bloody O'Toole
    Get out of the house – down to the old pub instead

    And she'll want you to sample the fruit of her loins
    But son, it'll taste like some old rusty coins
    So turn off the light, boy, and take off your hat
    And drop to your knees, say a prayer to Saint Pat
    Then he'll give you the strength to get out of the bed
    And for Ireland's sake, go down to the old pub instead

    Now the pub is the place where the lads are a-meetin'
    When the moon's full and the gals are a-bleedin'
    The Catholic, the Protestant, even the pagan
    The pub is the place when your lady is raggin'
    So drink of your pint, boys, and thank your shamrocks
    That as menfolk we don't have to bleed from our cocks
    And that we can escape from the lady in red
    And get out of the house and go down to the old pub instead


    Ah yes the bloke in the pub , like the barman and the ower ?

    There's a lot of wisdom in that song. But Pagan and Raggin' don't rhyme. **** song.

    And the lad down the pub is 98 year old Batchelor Bill, still in fine health because he stayed away from the chicks. ;)

    Never got a bad pm about my username.. Numerous folk have commented on how it makes em smile.. When was this "push" and who was pushing it? I didn't know to be honest.

    Em, I used to get a lot back in the day, I toyed with some of that lads for the laugh, poor horny dudes.
    Less stalker ones these days, but I get a lot of completely random ones. My name gts a good few too.
    Mostly gals these days, mayhap I should try this stalking thing.
    A lot of randomers add me to msn, most memorably coolock_lad, maybe I should remove that link.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,415 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    I think you've started a trend, OP. Was reading this earlier and within the last half hour got one from a user with no posts asking "Is that you"

    You're asking for it by being such a hot chick.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Yeah, I got one off a guy with no posts but there was nothing sinister about it. He genuinely had a reasonable question to ask. But why use boards just to send pm's?!

    I once got one from this american guy which must have taken him about an hour to write asking me all these strange questions...

    He even put in how his hair changes colour with the seasons :eek:

    Is a pm saying "pics?" random enough? Maybe withva random rule of grammar thrown in to turn you on?
    How about for you Fade?
