They watch the Late Late Show and listen to LiveLine, but only ironically, so they can hate-post in the TV/Radio forum.

When they've got the same collection of random junk in their garage as you do, because "feck it, someone has posted a mis-price in Bargain Alerts, and I know I'll probably never use this slow cooker/drone/toolkit/speedboat but sure amn't I getting it for 93% off and if Amazon/Argos/Littlewoods honour it I'll get a great kick for getting one over on the man!"


You'll probably also spend your holidays together on the same Secret Flying package to Madagascar that you scored for 90 quid because you're flying open-jaw from Farranfore and returning to Gdansk.

They hate people on the dole is another one I notice around here.

gossamer

If they *do* venture outside they have to wear a brown paper bag over their head. And for the even uglier one's, carry a bell shouting "unclean, unclean!" to warn any oncoming normal folk.

tomwaterford

They never annoy you/put in and out....prefer to vent their murderous anger about you online

Possibly own a smartphone also

Dr Jakub

If male; they are overweight, unhygienic, wear metal t-shirts, three quarter length shorts, finger less gloves and high school shooter trench coats. Subscribes to extreme left or right wing opinions. High chance he is a virgin. You only see him leave the house when heads to the off licence.

If female; obese/anorexic. Hates men yet extremely promiscuous. Likely has mental health issues. Uninorically blogs about how the patriarchy rapes them everyday. Has daddy issues.








I kid. I'm sure everyone here is normal and well adjusted.

I'm getting off this site, you all seem like a pack of weirdos.

Bitter OP?

mansize

liking some of the suggestions guys, also seems to have struck a nerve with others...

JupiterKid

I'd guess that most (around 80%) of boardsies are completely normal people who wouldn't say boo to your face but feel free to let rip with their closely held opinions on the forums.

The other 20% are socially inept tech geeks who relish being keyboard warriors.

buried

The front bonnets of their cars are a dented bloody mess from them bleedin cyclists

tayto lover

Broken front sitting-room window and keyboard lying outside it with lots of pulled-out hair attached.

How can you know your neighbour has a boards account?

Its not something I openly admit to lol!

maudgonner

If it's a certain kind of boardsie they will:

• Throw a temper tantrum one night and storm out in a huff, probably try to burn the house down behind them.
• Return within days, maybe hours, having changed their name and appearance completely.
• You'll find it fairly easy to identify them though, because as soon as they open their mouths you'll recognise the way they speak.
• However if you call them on this they will deny it emphatically and say they've only just moved in and have never even visited the country until now.

This cycle will repeat quite frequently.

I've arrived late to the party, but that pretty much sums it up for me.

I'll add that they are mostly under 30 years of age. Anyone older and fitting in to your categories needs to re-address things.

Mods? What about Mods??

Lots of old mods here, but I reckon they have just got used to the changing world until they eventually enter the boards graveyard. Poor feckers.

The younger bucks? **** me! MORONS!

Day Lewin

And they are very active after hours.

Mr. FoggPatches

On a day with good drying out, you'll see their beard out on the clothesline.

groucho marx

Probably ranting about children in restaurants children in car parks and children.

Day Lewin

Or just generally ranting in a very ranty way. Not even about anything special - just background all-purpose ranting. Ta-rant-ara!!

Summer wind

Most of us love a good ould row and have so many of them on the go at once we probably end up having a row with ourselves.

Funkfield

They own an Atari Jaguar

That_Guy

A copy of 'Trent' sits proudly on the bookshelf alongside a blank CD and a lighter which they bought from Bubbles on Adverts thinking it was a great deal on a CD Burner.

Meanwhile, an attic filled with cheap tablets/slow cookers and misc items from the Bargain Alerts forum lay unused.

However, after all of this time, the 3 Wolf T-Shirt is still worn with pride on a daily basis.

Who could forget "Trent", then he looked across me as if not looking at me, then thought to himself, it can't be, not "Trent", but then just realised it can't be, because it was a new thread.
