Getting recognised by boardsies

Will

Ever get recognised by strangers who know you're from boards?
Has happened me every now and again, however in the last few days there's been 2 occasions. Always freaks me out.

The 2 women refused to tell me their real or boards names which to say the least was really annoying.

To the young woman with her boyfriend/mate on eden quay on tuesday around 11pm;

I'm sure you are a lovely person but walking by, pointing at me and saying 'oh my gawd it's Will from boards'. Was pretty damn startled at some randomer recognising me. Being the quick witted guy I am I smartly replied with 'uhm yeah' then shy'd away. Thankfully you kept walking and I was left to deal with a very drunken man who was looking for a strip club.

To the lady on Saturday night in the nightclub (last night);

Again, very strange feeling knowing somebody recognises you from a website. However, thank you for being polite and friendly. But yes it would have been nicer if you told me who you were instead of leaving me puzzled while I tried to work. Yes it did and is still wrecking my head trying to figure out who you are, like you said it would. *shakes fist*

Anyway, from now on, anytime i get recognised im just gonna flat out refuse and deny it (like i should have me thinks).

If the two women who are reading this, would you mind at least saying so on thread here who you are?

Anyone else get recognised? Sure there must be some funny stories

Oh my gawd it's H from Steps.. Oh no wait.. It's only Will from Boards

'Going Waterforward' aka Crash_000 was recognised by plenty of people in college as 'that guy who had a campaign to get him a date' back in the day.

Pic doesn't show up on that thread anymore though.

I have never offered users a facility whereby they might recognise by me.
I also live alone in a large castle. The heating bills are excessive but it gets me out of such unfortunate social situations.
Though I did meet Biko the once. That would be the only boardsie who knows me from only boards. I am not sure yet if this means I have to kill him.

Everyone thinks a certain bouncer in the Mercantile (Damn St. Dublin) is me, IT AIN'T.

.

I've been recognised once or twice from boards. Not entirely sure why, it's not even like I'm well known on here.

in all fairness, if you put your pics up here, your going to get recognised. its not a big deal to be honest. ive had a look through alot of the pictures threads and can honestly say ive never seen anybody.

Good practice if you ever become really famous Will .

I saw 6th/Sabotage a while ago walking through Templebar. It would have felt weird to talk to him so I bit my tongue...

Perhaps there should be an official / unofficial T-shirt with slogan '' I' m a Boardsie '' on it .

Make it so much easier to stalk recognise people

Would make ya stand out alright but the price of bikes these days might put me off .:D

never been recognised/approached ,whee

I work very hard to make sure none of my victims recognize me

I've been recognised by my tattoos before, can't remember by who though, I was a bit creeped out but tha's what you get for putting up pics of yourself I guess. I don't put up pics of myself any more!

Someone off the UCD board recognised me around college when I was there as well.

Once I asked some guy in a bar if he was such-and-such off Boards and it turned out he was actually someone completely different off here.. tis a small world.

Well Will, you're a camera whore, so it's a lot more likely to happen to you! I once attended a function with at least 2 other boardsies present, but we didn't recognise each other (and I even had a bottle of chocolate sauce with me!). We came back to the boards saying "oh yeah that was great...anyone else actually go?"

I have seen a few people from Boards around college in NUIG, and UCD when I was there, but never been recognised myself as far as I know.

It's that gay guy from the play, Meet The Spartans!

Sofaspud

I always walk up to randomers I recognise from here, always creeps them out when they haven't a clue who I am (even after I tell them)

Only ones that've recognised me are ones I met before.

Although once in town, somebody called my real name from across the road and asked how I was, don't think I've ever seen her before! That was weird!

i have had a boardsie see me in public, recognise me as a boardsie, take a photo of me, and send it to another boardsie, without ever letting on to me... im just glad the other boardsie they sent it to is someone i'd count as a good mate, and let me know the photo was taken.

creepy.

fortunately, im about 13,000 miles away from you lot now, so it's not so bad.

I have seen a few boardsie's on the street but i would never approach them because i believe they are entitled to their anonymousity/privacy.

But if you needed to know the time of day or directions you would approach them like you would approach anybody right ?

( In such circumstances wearing shades is an option ) :cool:

RoundyMooney

Well, that will happen if you post your pic up a hundred times

Could be worse Will, you could be recognised by a big lad with a last supper tattoo.
