Eden Hazard was hilarious to read. The time he got slayed beyond belief in the lookalike thread was a joy to behold. I'd love to link it but it's probably in bad taste. He was fully convinced he looked like Zac Efron and when he submitted his picture everyone decided he looked like Naboo from the Mighty Boosh. It killed him.

He came back under a few different monikers but always gave himself away with words such as ''legit'', ''looksmax'' and his jealousy of Rugby players in south Dublin and their perceived status with the girls. Ah Eden, you beautiful man.

Legit looked nothing like that. Filter used plus the weird hair 'he' had back then, made it seem more similar. Remember it well.

You want his insta to verify

Had to take a look back at some of starbelgrades posts in AH, there is some real gems in there

On a thread about the IRA

The CIA and the IRA recently joined forces to form the CIARA and they came second in this year's Rose of Tralee

On thread 'Names that just dont go'

OP
I have a cat called Alan. He is the only Alan on the vet's database of 10,000 animals. He also has a horse called Nigel.

While these are normal names for humans they just don't seem right for animals. Anyone else know of names that just don't work - animals or otherwise? Also, why don't these names work?

starbelgrade- Your cat has a horse called Nigel? That's downright weird. Why did he call him Nigel?

OPAlan is a very sophisticated cat.

starbelgrade Alan, the sophisticat.

On thread Woman accuses three men of rape after drunken romp

I feel like I just walked into a staff meeting at the Daily Mail.

Tombi is still floating around the Gah forum I think

The Dome I loved was when I first joined Boards, circa 2007 until 2011/2012 or so. It was a forum that most people didn't "get" however the majority of those "in the game" were also members of a small private forum and were good friends outside of it. Essentially anything you posted on Boards (outside of serious forums like long term illness or personal issues) was fair game for getting grief on.

Some of the artistry of words along with poor but as a result brilliant photoshop skills on show made me properly laugh out loud. The Degsy Creeping Death feud was wonderful, poor old Degsy simply didn't have the linguistic dexterity that alot of the others had and as a result when he posted something he was piled on and ripped to shreds with hilarious results.

To the outside eye I'm sure it looked horrible but (for the most part at least) there was no real animosity behind it.

At the end of its life a new group of people began posting in it and there was proper needle in alot of it incl iirc accusations of bullying & doxing. On that basis it had to go but by jesus, there was a time when it was the funniest forum on boards by some stretch.

It was the best of times and the worse of times!

I remember a poster "Snyper" decided to jump into the insult thread at one stage, but he posted some image from some image sharing site not realising we could click into it and see all his other private images, pics of himself, of his workplace etc.... We didn't expose it, but he was utterly owned and promptly turned around and left.

Photoshopping Slideys face on to a goats head.
Degsy misusing/failing to understand the concept of "negative equity".
He's only around 5'6" in real life.

We even had an insult competition at one stage, with a proper league table.

Then the other domers, Captain Darling, Quality, Slidey, Sergeant, Armin Tamzarin, Flutterin Bantam, Fulton Crown, Chef, Bronte, etc.... And djhunter who was transitioning into a female and still around I'm sure.

Certainly a diverse set of individuals to gather in a dark part of boards!

You'd have to fight me for him! I don't care if he's just a head in a box, he's got a wonderful talent for imparting knowledge and that's very appealing.

I always liked Degsy I have to say. Then I met him and thought him an utter... actually no, I found him sound as a pound in person too. Very funny with it. Or I was off me box drunk, or both. :pac: One thing I noted about him is when crap goes down most people ignore it or freeze, some back off, he was one of the rarer types who would be at the front going what is the crap and can I deal with it.

Indeed I also knew Degsy IRL, before I encountered his boards persona, but it didn't take me long to recognise him. Total shade of mad bastard off the guy, but a more entertaining night out you'd never have again. Pity his sort of humour just really doesn't translate over text at all at all!

Yeah. She's a great loss from the LLS and Darcy forums. I had many a PM chat with her after the shows ended and later texts. Then she just vanished.

If you're reading GSW, I hope all is well.

Another from there was Lady Chatterton. Always good for a laugh as well.

Same here.
Harry Angstrom was another regular back then, and the guy who used to do up pie charts at the drop of a hat. Can't think of his name offhand. Keith, maybe.

I can't watch Darcy, it would be a risk to my health :eek: but I used to love the chats when Brendan O'Connor was doing the show on Saturday nights.

Yes, sounds like Keith16...with the pie charts

I miss so many of those posters, MrsD, amdublin, Harry Angstrong, GSW, keith16, Skid, Cofy, JohnathanAnon, twirlagig, OlDonie, WELSHMEGAMAN, sligojoek, jos28, so many more, apologies to those I left out.
I loved those days in the tv lls show forum. Good times. My husband used to work away a lot and the 2kids (not baby goats, I promise, ) were tiny so the tv chat forum was so valuable to me then.

Some great threads here years ago that got emailed around in the early days of internet for the Irish masses.

There was a guy with a safe, Trent and a lad with a robust weight ratio who worshipped a footballer called fellaini because even though he was 6ft 6 he still managed to keep his weight at the perfect level. He even awarded overtime to his staff based on their height and weight.

There was some really funny ones.
I think a lot of fun threads with potential over the last few years get reported and virtue signaled into the grave before they start now.

If I recall correctly lads were trying to work out how to fairly share a mail order bride here years ago and nobody got a card.

That one called Conservatory last year has to be a reincarnation of the football fan then. All his posts are gone, must have made boards delete them.

"Robust BMI."

Even now, i cant bear the word robust.

There was another poster who had the measure of Conservatory and seemed to know he was a reincarnation and was always serving it up to him.

Maybe, but maybe he was just joking and some people took it too serious. I think the problem since the internet became popular is there are too many people who think they can change the agenda of a generation by reporting a post on a thread with 12 viewers.

Some of it might have meant to been a joke, but there was some nasty undertones (to the Conservatory one anyway)

I remember him having a row with another poster because he felt that she (a woman) should not be earning more than him and being totally condescending belittling her profession.

He also attacked teachers one time. A teacher came on and put him in his box and that thread ended up in a big row as well.

Maybe it was two different posters allright.

Just the word "robust" and weight is a very similar mo.

You think two people had access to the same account? What’d that achieve?

Robust for me means impregnable and tough, weight means heavy.

Oxford dictionary might be the people to ask though.

This guy seems to have hurt you. Did you know him outside of here?

Welshy's still around on the BBC 4 music thread, as is Skid who updates weekly with a very comprehensive roundup of all the music shows on all channels for the coming week. Sligo posts there too. We get to relive our teens watching Top of the Pops repeats on Beeb 4. There's a long running joke on thread relating to Nile Rogers. If you're into your music at all, it's a great thread. It's where all the cool kids hang out, now.

100% agreed, would you believe it's only now you've mentioned it that I know their gender

As terribly stereotypical as it may sound, I'd generally assumed him to be female given how empathetic they always came across.

Fantastic poster tho IMO.

BDI · 17-08-2019 08:46PM

Who was the girl who got impregnated by a lad on here and they used to fight under the radar here by private message if anybody that posted in a thread they were fighting in.

For example a thread about how a girl was struggling because her baby’s father missed a payment,

A baby’s father would be posting saying maybe you get enough off the social.

If you then posted on the thread you would be bombarded by private messages from the two of them explaining how they were in the right and the other person was terrible.

Why would he hurt me? I couldn't recall his name until someone else here said it. Just remember the robust BMI anf him being terribly condescending to people. Felt women should be at home raising children and not at work.

Just like other posters here, recalling the nice and not so nice posters on here.

Another one, same as the PB one, who went through the bother of making boards delete all his posts under GDPR. Says it all really.
