    I'm nearly always watching TV when on boards. But I can't do both at the same time. I'm either watching TV and ignoring boards, or ignoring TV and on boards. I admit, it's not the most energy efficient way to enjoy TV/boards. So what do the rest of ye do? Doe's anyone not do anything...just browse boards?

    It's the slow season at work so I'm there, won't have any time hopefully for it after Christmas. I post here to break up my online training course that I'm doing. At home I'm watching TV or taking a break from Football/ Cycling manager games.

    Walking Tours of Kilkenny in English, French or German.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    At work, so nothing, boards gets undivided attention while I'm near the laptop.

    At home I'd listen to music and download stuff at the same time as using boards mostly.

    You really took that seriously Jumpguy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    I usually hurl abuse at my laptop and can be overheard saying things like ..



    "Don't flirt with her, she's most likely a fat guy wearing his wife's bikini!"

    or

    "If I started that thread it'd be in the f**king nest by now!"

    or

    "Oh for the love of God, here comes the Grammar Nazis and the Spelling Police!

    or

    "Oh yeah, thank their f**king post and ignore mine!"

    or

    "Facepalm me again and I'll palm your f**king face off!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    the same thing as i do every night, try and take over the world


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    When I'm on boards I usually look at female posters posts and wonder.

    I reckon she's good looking by the way she posts....

    Honest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p

    Usually have a few other tabs open, one on gmail, one on fantasy football. Listen to music too, you can browse and listen at the same time.

    Agree that watching TV is a waste if you're online. You can't really do both. I used to play guitar while browsing sometimes and ended up doing neither properly.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭manutd


    Am watching TV now, Sky Sports News. Can't do both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 639 ✭✭✭Seillejet


    Im currently blocking out the repititive X Factor that Mrs Seillejet is watching.

    The "this song could be to big for him/her"

    "its the wrong song choice"

    The "I really want this now"

    And then the "amazing, amazing judges comments".

    Im downloading real music, picking out my footie bets for tomorrow and doing a bit of crimbo shopping online, all the while entertained by the usual boards banter. She is happy, I'm happy :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    Normally have the tv on in the background.

    That or look to my notes occassionally so it looks like I'm doing college work.
