    Would it not be cheaper to buy toilet paper?

    Anyway, it wasn't my paper.

    thanks im new

    Welcome, if you need to test things out in future, there is a Test forum listed under the Sys menu. Also have a look at the Newbies/FAQ under the same menu. Have fun.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,005 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    The Mirror, Sun etc. are not much use as toilet paper. They are full of crap already. :)

    Hey, some have us have much better things that we are meant to be doing, we're just lazy/apathetic.
    People still read those ahem, papers?

    EDIT: Ber, he got one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭Nehpets


    that "journalist" probably got banned and is upset:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭Daelus


    "bebo.com: Want to know what your kids do when your not looking. Look on their bebo site for pictures."

    Bebo users should not be allowed to be "journalists".


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Its true, whenever im cruising boards Im at work, and therefore quite literally have nothing better to do. After the internet gets ****, boards will still be there to make me titter at the fantastic rate of 1 half giggle an hour.
    I wonder does it also increase my farting?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,660 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    'Nothing better to do with their lives'?

    If it was true - pot? Kettle?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    "Nothing better to do..."
    This from the "journalist" who has nothing better to do than write about the people using a site because they have nothing better to do with their lives. Plus this tosser is writing an article about the 50 coolest sites on the internet. My grannys hairy testicle could write a better article than that.


    I dont know why she didnt bury it with my grandad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 342 ✭✭JaneHudson


    I think the mirror journo just got frustrated because the boards forums had too many long words and hardly any pictures.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 3,740 Mod ✭✭✭✭The Real B-man


    All Hail Mighty Boards.ie hmmmmmmmmm :p

    Plus he didnt get to write about how boards.ie is actually a front for a major child porn and prostitution ring. Involving numerous top class irish citizens, such as doctors, Lords and an unusually high number of people claiming to be Pat Kenny.
    And why its all F and F's fault in the first place...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,931 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    boards = meeting place? how long did they log on to boards for - 2 seconds.

    (any hot gals wanna hook up!?) pm ;)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,112 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    ****, I thought you were a girl, i've been pleasuring myself to a goddamn bloke again. :(


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Mebbe she is. Its awful what assumptions can do to ones sex life sometimes.
    Imagine, talking yourself out of a hot lesbian one third nordic threesome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Heyes


    ****, I thought you were a girl, i've been pleasuring myself to a goddamn bloke again. :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry

    :D Exactly. Neck is killing me from reading that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    It should really be 'their' not 'there'

    I didn't want to poke holes... he/she has it bad enough working for the Mirror tbh.

    Oh Christ, I couldn't do that. Imagine what you could catch from it?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,567 ✭✭✭mloc


    in fairness it is the mirror. I wouldn't really call it a newspaper, and I certainly wouldn't call the people who write for it journalists... more like... "current events entertainment writers"
