    Has anyone tried to quit? I don't know if I would call myself addicted, but I find I've gotten in to a routine that involves an awful lot of time sitting in front of this website...
    So have you tried to quit, or take a break? I know 6th gave it up for lent...or at least stayed very quiet n an alt account! And how much of your life does boards chew up?



    p.s. auctioning my account to the highest bidder :P

    As a wise man once said -

    "Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you"

    In summary, no I will never give up.

    I work 5 day a week 9-6 , basicly boards chews up most of that! Honestly dont know how i coped in work without it :D

    oh oh and 50 cent, (oh yeah imthe highest bidder so far)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    51 cent


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam


    But just think of all the constructive things we could do with the time spent on here? My newly found free time will be spent doing fun things like helping my siblings with homework, going for long walks, and probably masturbating furiosly due to the increase in unwarranted erections without something like boards to distract me sex crazed mind.

    I will offer you some...*looks around office*...staples, bluetac, paper, a skeleton, some chairs, hole puncher, some coppers and a shiny new penny. Yes, on top of everything that I am offering you, a shiny new penny can be yours, all for as little as €4.99. This is a limited time offer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    Silly Mirror!

    You don't give up Boards.ie

    They have an impenetrable force around us.

    The only way 6th managed to escape was because he's the Magic mod and is therefore magic.

    Then CuLt fixed the problem and 6th came back!

    I offer a euro btw.

    Has the hole punch been cleaned out or are there lots of little paper circles in it?

    I'd love to, but if I play my cards right this could all end very nicely, with me, a deck chair, a beach in the Bahamas and some very pretty ladies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    I'll offer you four unspoiled (kind of) virgins (kind of) on a golden plate (ish), a bottle of moderatly priced champaigne and a picture of me wearing nothing but a smile ;) I'll give you E1.20 cent for your account.

    Giving up this would mean me being more productive in work, and why break the habits of a lifetime?.

    cold turkey is the only way to do it!

    It can be done. I gave up politics.ie. But that may have been because I found this place.

    This is the hidden gem to this product. The little circles can be used as amusing artificial snow, for packing matchboxes, for placing elegantly around your house like pot pourri.

    I wouldn't be surprised. If not right now, should the trend continue it will definitely begin to have an effect eventually!

    Boards.ie is like Masturbating.

    You like to do it, you cant stop doing it, you can try to give up, but you'll find you'll sneak of to do it at least once a day.

    You can do it in bed beside your girlfriend, but she frowns upon it,unless you do it together, but you like it better than she does.. and if you do it too often infront of her she thinks there is something wrong with her.

    You do it so often that, you feel guilty for the little pleasures it gives you. You think you are the only one doing it.. but everyone is.

    You used to be restricted to where you could do it, the one room in the house, but now you can do it in the bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, shed, dogs kennel, while ur driving.. or even at mass

    Boards.. its like havin a ****.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,398 ✭✭✭MIN2511


    I tried to give boards up... didn't work! I think i know what to give up next year lent ;)

    And my bid is 0.00cents! Tight bastard i am :P
