    Considering the day it is upon ringing my dad this morning to wish him a happy fathers day we both started talking about boards.

    God forbid we ask each other how we are, no i just went on to talk about someone who's post i really didn't like in the Soccer forum, he then went to tell me about some stuck up posters in the Coffee forum.

    Are we the only father son group on boards ? Any out there make yourself known and please tell me you didn't send a happy fathers day pm. That was my orginal thought as the house phone was so far away, until my mother agreed for both of us that the phone would be a better option.

    My Dad, isn't exactly tech-friendly.
    We still have to read his text messages to him when ever he gets one.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭The Davestator


    My da got a text message last week. Heres the conversation;
    Da: Whats that (pointing at envelope on his phone)
    Me: it means you have a message
    Da: How do i get rid of it?

    Dont think i'll be seeing my da on boards anytime soon!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    Mine is on boards, never crossed posts though. Different areas of interest and all that. No PMs either


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

    <mental note made to ring him beofre day is over>

    I'm an orphan so the boards.ie team adopted me and raised me as their own.

    Happy Father's Day boards - you can't ban me, I'm family!

    I think I posted this story before, but I left boards logged in on the home PC when I was back from college once. The father got on the computer, registered an account and got banned for 'unhelpful responses' in PI after 12 posts. One particularly memorable post of his was expressing his desire to be a love-slave to Lucy Kennedy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,006 ✭✭✭MistyCheese


    What was his username?

    For, eh, no reason.

    I really hope one day to be this kind of father to my children.

    LOL...ye parents used to be awful at phones and texts...jsut random words bundled together and sent


    Oh dad doesn't use boards, just computers for serious things. He got his phone call and it was a happy chat, although very sad when i found out where he was, and why he is there. Fathers day is hard for some people.

    Still nice to call and have a chat and a laugh

    Gave my Da a golf shirt, 3 tees and 2 purple snacks.:P

    One day Da was going into town and I asked him to pop into the bookies for me, and he said he would so I saved a few bets in drafts on his phone. He rang about 5 people trying to find drafts.
