It's PanDENmonium! [Off Topic Chat]

I was on the bus to work today and a group of what I pegged as late teens Americans on holiday sat behind me. Talking loudly but I tried my best to zone out and not get annoyed.

After awhile of being subjected to usual teen talk. Instagram and the like I realised that they were not in fact American but a bunch of blackrock teenagers.is this a thing? A deliberate American accent. It wasn't even the normal posh Dublin accent it really sounded American except for the occasional word that doesn't translate to the American accent well.
Is it American media that does this or is it a conscious effort to get rid of the irishness in the voice.

I could forgive most of it until I heard them saying Mom rather than Mam.

Like OMG.

I think the sadder thing is that he's one of millions tbh. That entire region is just utterly and probably irreparably f*cked.

Bored bored bored bored. Someone save me from work

Cant sleep so up late reading old threads from 2009/2010.
Anyone remember hitlersson666 or unknown13.. Woke my mam up crying laughing at some of the posts hahahaha.
Blast from the past.

So I set my hand on fire in the lab yesterday

On the brightside I now have hairless fingers. :P

This was my sentiment exactly :P

But you're not Insect Overlord anymore.

Last Thursday I had a job interview on Thursday, was rejected on Friday.

I have another interview in little over an hour for a different company. I feel it's a little out of my league or something, but I really want it.

They told us that we have to bury our families ashes in Graves lol. There trying to make a come back. It's funny to watch

There's a reason I like not being Catholic anymore. When your reverend wears a Yes Equality badge on the altar, it's so worth it.

Do you go to church in Portlaoise?

Oh, C&H. How I miss your busy times </3

I could never get into Twitter or Reddit tbh. The reason I love Boards is because posts are in a chronological order. It allows conversations to flow naturally. Post 3658 has as much chance of being replied to as post 12 which has 6,000 thanks on it.

With Reddit, I always feel like if I'm not on a thread within less than an hour, there's no point posting a new comment because it'll just sink to the bottom and never be seen. I know you can sort by newest, but the default is most popular so I doubt a lot of people actually bother to sort...




Plus, in the first few years I was on Boards (early 2011 to early 2014) I really felt there was a community here. I had C&H, Radio, Podcasts, UL, the Psychic Readings Live crew over in TV, a few Games subforums, all people just chatting and having fun.

In the last two years though, more and more of those people have left, UL forum is basically dead, C&H is basically dead, Radio has gotten incredibly hostile (to the point where I dread every time I get a reported post email now), Podcasts is going the same way, I don't post in TV anymore because PRL is gone so that little community is gone...

I dunno. The site just feels different now. Less welcoming. Less "friends hanging out having a chat" and more "standard internet forum where people have to constantly fight with each other".


But the redesign will solve all of this... right guys? Right?!

There's a Krispy Kreme. I mean, that's it sorted then.

Fijne kerstdagen allemaal.

You should totally have started a new thread for this... >_>

<_<

Eh.. no. :P

I fell down a deep-ish YouTube well last night which started with a heap of Fry and Laurie sketches, and ended up watching 3 hours worth of Stephen Fry talking about religion, mental illness and just life in general.

Now, I knew Fry was intelligent, but honestly I never really appreciated just how articulate the man is, mainly because I never really delved further than QI or his acting stuff.

I think his speech during a debate on the motion "The Catholic Church is a force of good in the world." from 2009 should be required viewing for a lot of people. Such passion and palpable anger.

It got me thinking about my own religion. I, for the first time, realised that although I didn't lose my belief until I was maybe 13 or 14, I'd basically been a Protestant since before I got my first Communion. I realised that not once, ever did I believe, or was I told that I should believe, that the wine and bread were literally transforming. I always thought it was symbolic. It infuriates me that I knew so little about the religion I was inducted into and which was a core subject in my primary school education, that I didn't believe in one of the religion's core tenets.



I really don't know what point, if any, I'm trying to make here. I guess I just needed to put these thoughts somewhere, and the forum hadn't had a post this year yet.

Not to disregard the important parts of your post, but does this mean everybody's giving up on the Jizzlers this year? :P

Nominations would be easy at least... :P

Everyone and themselves? Totally a good couple.

Trump or Hilary. It really was that south park episode come to life.
If Trump has any positives it may be that the yanks finally examine their system ad realise that it's a bit of a joke.
