    Met loads of them, the vast majority of them were sound.

    Knew a few Boardsies before joining Boards...if that counts?

    Myself and L1011 used to serve in the Call Center trenches years ago.

    Some meetups should be arranged, maybe a boxing ring or a cage?

    Thunderdome?

    Well, today i have learned 2 things.

    1. Srameen is a place in westmeath.

    2. Srameen is not from there.

    :D

    I have never knowingly met a boardsie in real life.

    Apparently there's a Srameen Island in Fermanagh as well. In my case it's just an anagram of family initials.

    I've met definitely three current boardsie and we know each other, although I don't think we've ever posted in the same threads. There's a couple of others that I know who they are but don't know personally. Again I don't think we've posted in too many of the same threads.

    Probably 100+. mainly, but not all, Cycling forum posters

    You met me but you didn’t know it. Marshaling at the RDA hall bossing everyone around, a bit like here ���� (: (:

    As well as my former colleague posting up-thread, I've worked with at least one other (Gavin Shels).

    I went to a few Boards Beers for various subforums back in the old days and my partner posts here occasionally.

    I’ve met the following boardsies in real life:

    Lux23
    Gillo
    Makkikomi
    KikiLaRue
    Persepoly
    A Tyrant Named Militades!
    The Master
    Joeytheparrot
    Zipppy

    Of these, two are from another Irish web forum - I’ve met them a number of times at meet ups organized through the web forum.

    One I have met once and he gave me a tour of his place of work. A complete gent.

    One is a an old friend from my college days. Just met up with him a couple of days ago.:)

    And a few are boardsies that I met at a recent AH beers meetup.

    ...all sound individuals! :):D

    In the winter of snow (2010) when I was stranded in the Bluestack Mountains, a Donegal boardsie who drove a 4 wheel drive came out with gas and coal .. later that year a whole troop of Donegal boardsies arrived with chainsaws to cut logs for me. Made them a good supper!

    Salt of the earth!

    Smashey and Muffler sound like characters you'd meet sipping from a hip flask in Rialto :D
