All ye oul wans and oul fellas out there! Wakey wakey, rise and shine!

Cicero

Tis a mite chilly this evening...come sit a spell beside the fire, put your feet up and while away a few hours in the company of Oulwans 'n' Oulfellas.....:)

*throws another log on the fire and re-fills glass*

chucken1

*Looks around*...hmmmm I like what you've done with the place! I'll take a seat if thats ok.

Queen-Mise

Would you like a cuppa & a biccie

chucken1

beer?

Cicero

Welcome one and all....so, that's one beer (glass or bottle?), some tea and some bickies...anything else?:p

Oh no thanks. I'll have a shandy if you don't mind. Or a small glass of sherry either if you had it :P:P

Cicero

It's Queen-Mise...why, I haven't seen you since the TCN days.....a sherry you say...no problem..I've been saving this for a special occasion and what could be more special than a new forum....:D

*pours "ample" glass*

Sherry?? Sherry?? Thats nearly as bad as the banned word!! :eek::D

Sorry Cicero..A pint please..while I can still manage one!!

looksee

So now then, what's off topic? I am already picking up a subtle hint of anarchy so I'll say you will have your work cut out OldGoat

Where's the lad, we need another bucket of coal for the fire. And someone put the kettle on. Me!!? Ah now, I'm sitting down. Milk, no sugar please.

Cicero

Not at all looksee, Off-Topic is what you want it to be....hop in and say hello, tell a story, take a load off.....this type of thread is found in many forums to get the group members talking without having to discuss any particular subject....anything goes except for the banned topics of B***o and B*** N**:p

Milk no sugar it is....and help yourself to the Hob Nobs.....I have to head out the shops...I'm running low on 8 year old single malt....

Here you go....gotta head out for a while...but the bar is run on an honour system anyway...just place the money on the counter or chalk up your tab yourself and settle up before the end of the night...:D

Queen-Mise

Thanks for the sherry cicero. whereabouts in this hell hole are you hanging out now?

Jesus Wept

Grand old stretch in the evenings.

Queen-Mise

Ah there is alright isn't there. Ah grand oul stretch aright. We won't see the summer coming

Jesus Wept

Fingers crossed we will.

Usually in the Gnome Home or TGC....I see the count to a million is slowly reaching the 200K mark...would love to be there to see it....

I have started counting again. I am on one of my boards phases again :D:D
How do you find the Gnome... Must drop in there. I am hanging around the Nocturnal Forum

Beruthiel

So Cicero, for those of us who don't hold to this god belief thingie, there are no waiting rooms to be hanging around in.

Gods Waiting Room is also a very depressing way to be looking at your latter years.
I'd prefer, Squeeze the Marrow out of Life meself.

OldGoat

I thought the god being referred to was me and everyone was waiting for my words of wisdom. Now I'm depressed.

Change your nick to oldgod?
Bringer of wisdom, lord of the shuffle.

OldGoat

Ha! Can you imagine the bleeting from the 'Fight de powah' brigade if a mod changes a name to God.
As an OldGod I'd be a vengful and wrathful and smite-ful.

littlebug

Is the kettle on? I'll have half a cup of tea and a marietta please

BBDBB

Lets do lunch


have your people call my people

Oryx

Gods waiting room? All the atheist oaps are going to be waiting a long time then.

OldDog, can you do tornados as well?

OldGoat

/Conjures up a hurricane
OldDog?! I feel a mighty smitin' comin' on.

Prediction - the most commonly used phrase to open up a conversation in this area will be

guess who died - something my granny used to say with remarkable regularity before one day it was her

Only purpose of the thread title is to bring a smile to one's face....if you interpret it any other way or make issue with it, it is likely you won't be around much longer on this here planet as it shows you take even the trivial too seriously and are at risk of immediate heart attack...:D

I vote to ban blue (un)smiley faces in O'n'O...terrible things they are...:p

It's written in the Dave Allen "..may your god go with you.." loose interpretation sort of meaning....:p *capital letter of thread title reduced to lower case*

You'll never guess who's dead.....:D

foxinsox

Yay!

It's finally here!

Now we can all chat about anything without having to google things to figure out what they are!

Hi everyone.. move up on the sofa there!






EDIT: oh.. is everyone in bed already? ;-)

looksee

How about Gods' Waiting Room, proper sense of authority for all of us.

big b

Been on boards 4 years or so, and in my last week here (going abroad) I find what would have probably have been the perfect forum for me!

So, I'll wish you all the best, you have a good mod here, hope your threads don't get overtaken by young wans who just have to post everywhere, and....

enjoy!:)

edit: didn't notice Beruthiel was modding here too, I'm sure she'll be very good too!

You'll still be able to log in from abroad. What better way with keeping up to date with the news of Oul Oirland.

Well kinda but I suppose it's not like "normal" work in that I'm an artist and I'm down here hanging pics in my gallery so it's all very enjoyable.
