It's the only way i'll be able to identify the boardsies at a meet-up! otherwise it'll be like a weird mass blind date scenario! we'll all have to wear a red carnation or something!!
Yeah that is a recent enough pic. I will send the one I showed Mahama prior to meeting so it makes it easier

Yeah that totally sounds like a name he would use. Lol. He's a poker nut. Plays constantly so as soon as I heard you were from there I asked him if he knew you. Its a scary small world.
He made a T-shirt for my friend for an IPB meetup that actually was this day 5 years ago! It was a Sat-Nav T-shirt and is her IPB avatar to this day. She organised the meet up, not sure why I wasn't there, I think my hen was close to it and just the then hubby to be went.
He will remember the night, karaoke after the poker and seemed a great night!
I am also friends with him on FB Had a stalk to see if I could see who I thought was you but couldn't. It really is crazy how small the world is and with the poker world there are so many folks in it. (Poker is how I met my hubby!) 0 -
Home is indeed Tipperary, my parents are still there. I gave 3 years in Kilkenny and 3 in Cork as well though.Where is home in Ireland? I saw you mention Tipperary earlier?
Our plan of stealing your identity is almost complete with all these questions! Lol.
Haha I thought about that, but no-one asked me ma's maiden name yet! :P Also, for all ye know I could be a squat, 49 year old trucker named Bob writing to ye from the wilds of Cavan. :pac:
This is one of my fave memories of Werewolf now! :P I love that Raze was just like WTF."Do you know much about road traffic accidents?" seems fairly coded enough!
A village??Did you enjoy having a village named after you?
I have trouble making out what your avatar is. Can you assist?
The avatar thing always amuses me, it's a cropped screen grab of a filtered pic of me - neck and torso. It's something I barely thought about but I've been asked loads about it over the years. The best was someone asking why I chose a bird as my avatar! :pac: I'll update though when I change names. :P 'Tis the season after all!
Funnily enough, we had the opposite. One of the Irish bars here started a English comedy night and we were there early to get seats. One lad with a heavy eastern accent says to us, "are you here for the event, is that seat free" so we let him sit. He's constantly trying to involve himself in our conversation, asking how long we're here, where we met etc but we just thought he was lonely so thought nothing of it. Anyways, the warm up comedian plays and then the presenter comes on with an announcement that the meetup.com table is upstairs and your man looks at us and asks if we want to go or if we're comfortable here. We look at him like he's mad and it slowly dawns on all of us that he thinks we're whatever crowd he wanted to meet. Apparently at the start he had said "are you here for the meetup event" and none of us had heard that. We found it hilarious but your man acted like we purposefully deceived him and he ran to the other group. :rolleyes::pI had a similar experience for my first PW boards meet up in 2013 in the woolshed. I was going around asking lads "Are you Moneymaker"???? Felt like a tool.
What in the name of Jebus got you thinking about Christmas in July. You're not one of...those... people are you?? :pac:Two Christmas related ones (if you are a fan)
What's your favourite Christmas film?
What's your favourite Christmas song?
Am, himself started a tradition a few years back that we watch National Lampoon Christmas Vacation and over the years I've started to find it hilarious. There is also a weird German tradition that everyone watches a short called "dinner for one" on New Years Eve. Everyone. Even now at New Years house parties, it'll be put on. Back in the days before Netflix and millions of channels, they used to show it on every German TV station at the same time on New Years. They also find it hilarious, and the contagious laughing has gotten to me over the years now too.
Fairytale of New York is without a doubt my fave Christmas song. For me, it's not Christmas season until it's played on the radio. I was at a pub in Temple Bar after a conference in early November in Dublin last year and the bloody guitarist started in on Fairytale and I had to have words with him afterwards!
Well, some quick thoughts coz like I said in my experience people tend to get annoyed! :P I can't explain most of these, so please forgive my brain. Here's the handful that posted recently.Triceratops Ballet wrote: »Mahama, you never answered my q about what we all look like in your mind!!
You have changed your name, but mental pic is still the same. Dark hair, shorter than average, floral dress. Girly, cute, bouncy. Dot from the animaniacs basically. :P That hasn't changed at all since your new name, but now you also have long claws nails.
Molly is a red head with freckles. Big nordie accent now! Average height, slim but surprisingly strong. Bit of a tomboy. Friendly smile.
Uriel sounds like a mix between Hugh Laurie in House and Andy Samberg (Jake Peralta) in Brooklyn 99.
BJ, apologies for this as you're new so I'm still forming a head pic, but initially
after the "Protect lisa" comment you became Ralph Wiggum in my head. That'll be revised next game.
Barney, no relation to the purple monstrosity. In my head, Barney is very good looking. Basically, Barney from How I Met your Mother, but paler and with longer, brown hair.
Mick is always to be found in converse and jeans.
Flush's headpic has been flushed since I saw her head pic, and QB I already did.

That's funny! I'm just under 5'9!!! I am more of a girly girl tho so you're not far off!
That's also my impression of Barney, I imagine him to be the best looking of us, (though I do have a low key thing for Jake Peralta!!)0 -

Ha Its ok, intellectually you’re not far wrong, thank god I don’t have his haircut.
I don’t have many mental pictures in my head of you guys except that I imagine Tigger to be like Dexter from Dexters Laboratory. Glasses, short haircut, constant annoyed face mainly due to my incompetence. I base that on absolutely nothing but it’s in my head.0 -

It was the question about favourite theme, I looked at the themes and remembered the Christmas one. Don't worry, places playing Christmas songs in November annoy me also. I've not heard of that one though, the film I mean. I have heard of Fairytale of New York.0 -
