You know you spend too much time on boards when....

I just had to type a rather important document. I worked hard on it. I proof read it. Good job I did - I referred to the subject of it as "The OP". FFS :rolleyes:

Any symptoms yourself?

When you're looking down at your newly sanded timber floor and wondering why you got it sanded as, in retrospect, you liked the original boards

When you don't watch the Six One or read the papers to find out Northern Ireland, you come to boards to read Wolfe Tone and Keith AFC


When half the fun or watching a soccer match or reality TV show is coming here to post or read the current thread. Like a soccer game thread.
We did that with the UK Apprentice, regular crew over in TV and we could lay on the abuse and "I would have done it better" posts about the candidates

You know you spend too much time on Boards ..

• When someone tells you a joke - you laugh and say: "Thanks.."
• When you masturbate, you think of Avatars.
• When your walking down the road and a person slips in front of you and you say: "Fail"
• When your house gets burgled and the first thing you do is post in the Help Desk.
• When you discussing fear of starting threads with a psychiatrist.
• When You walk down the road thinking about witty comments you should have made on a thread.
• When your out and about, you wonder if any of the strangers are really your Boardsie friends.
• When you find yourself using the term: 'Boardsie'.
• When you're in a cafe and the waitress asks could she get you anything else and you say: "Yeah, your ma"
• When you're in casualty, a Doctor tells you have a hairline fracture of the skull and you say: "Pics or get the fuck out"
• When, for thanks whoring purposes (read: self esteem) you find yourself slightly editing lists you've made for old threads and then cutting and pasting them into new ones.

When you've spent the past hour on Boards, then say 'feck this' and open a new tab only to find yourself clicking on your Boards bookmark without realising it.

Well look at the bright side, another 2 or 3 weeks and you'll hit 10,000 posts and you'll have something worthwhile to show for all that time!
