Is After Hours "Chinatown" ?

    We all remember the feel-good hit film of '74, Chinatown starring Jack Nicholson and directed by Roman Polanski. I was speaking to a friend who referred me here and said some strange stuff goes down here! It was quite literally.... "Don't ask Jake, it's Chinatown!"

    Is After Hours really the internet equivalent of Chinatown? I've read some threads already and I'm not so sure. What do the regular After Hours crowd think? Should it be renamed?

    You know when you're in the pub for a few social drinks, which turns into a few more, and then someone asks a question concerning a very debatable subject. As the talking gets a bit louder other people in the bar join in on the debate. Both sides have their say and make some valid points, and everyone is generally having a good time. People are getting along and having a happy conversation.
    Then the weird guy at the bar shouts over "Did anybody see that hot one doing the RTÉ Weather!?" and proceeds to show them all a picture on his phone.






    AH is the weird guy at the bar.

    Yes, but lets not bring Carmilla Parker Bowles into this decent conversation. :pac:

    If Chinese underground gangs are you're thing,
    THIS.. is a way better movie.

    Some days it's like the Woody Allen movie - "Every Thing You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask"

    On other days it's like the Spartan movie, except it would be re-titled "800".

    A horse.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    Everytime I click on after hours I hear "We knew you'd come back, they always come back" in a Vincent Price sort of voice.

    AH is the saloon in a Western movie, when the stranger walks in, the piano stops and the local varmints look up from their card game . . .

    That reminds me of the "Witchfinder General", that's what AH is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    AH could also be likened to the guy on the bus with Tourette's (may or may not be driving the bus)

    Like I said at the start, don't ask Superbus, it's Chinatown! :confused::confused::confused:

    It's a classroom in a school for young offenders where the teacher has permanently 'just stepped outside for a minute'.
