Have you gotten caught out in real life or on boards yet today?

I was caught by the Boards "blocker" joke.

I didn't get it for a while.

Took me a minuite aswell. Thought it was strange that there was nothing to say it was anything to do with boards

Sis texted to say she was pregnant and didint know who the father was.

Hope she doesnt text Dad while he's at mass, though there'd be plenty there to revive him.

The fact that it says April Fool in the url is a bit of a giveaway.

I was just on my way to 'pop a peppery lad' when someone told me that the downstairs shitters in the Callaghan, Stephens green were closed for a month for renovations.

Barely made it to TGI Friday's, where the facilities are somewhat Spartan.

Checked Callaghan's later and they were up and running and as good as ever:mad:

Boards blocker caught me off guard, Thought work had finally caught on.

Nope. Boards announced their gag on facebook so I knew what to expect.

I haven't been caught out yet, but the day is young.

The GF was out this morning and when she came back she told me she was gonna buy a pregnancy test and draw a blue line on it, but forgot her purse.

I would've had a heart attack, I forgot what day it is. I think I might propose to her later.

Careful now, that could backfire on you!

hatrickpatrick

Yeah... Gorillaz-Unofficial put up a story saying that the Rhinestone Eyes video was in fact still going to be made, they posted full colour screenshots and everything... Took me at least 10 minute of celebratory joy to realize it was all a big filthy lie. :mad:

My name is URL

Nope.. I never believe anything I hear on April Fool's day

Fago!

Really? It said 'vBulletin' which made me think it was a boards thing.

The Metros joke stories caught me out.
Boards.ie being blocked caught me out.
A thread in arcade and retro about a shop I like being flooded caught me out.
And now Google seems to be blocked in work


I'm going home

Fago!

Just text my mam telling her my girlfriend is pregnant. Two minutes later I gets an incoming phone call from Mam. I answer and all I hear is:

YOU'RE A FOOKING DEADMAN!!! HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT TO RAISE A BABY WHEN YOU'RE ONLY 20 FOOKING YEARS OLD!!?! WAIT TILL I GET HOME BOY!!!!

Hehe told her after that it was a joke. She just goes ".......wait... it's April f....... ahh ye little pox!!!"

*smug*

Thundercats Ho

My boss just offered me a 5k rise in my salary.

Loved Google.ie's joke this morning when you search for "Helvetica" (subtle).

For real-life scams the rest of the year, the National Consumers Agency has a good "scam savvy" campaign at the moment

Haha, among the requirements:

- Good typing skills (at least 32,000 WPM)
- Certificate in psychic reading strongly preferred: palm, tarot, hypnosis, astrology, numerology, runes and/or auras.

Not being too soccer savvy, actually believed this one for a second:o

Hook, line and sinker....She wasn't impressed
