    Why are you picking on Buer?

    Is it not better fun to watch the mods quarrel?

    Thomond is a cyber bully. It's as simple as that.

    Who would you put your money on? I would have gone with Awec because he has those psycho nordie genes but I thinking years of living in Dublin sipping lattes and eating vegan bacon and pear sandwiches may have made him soft.

    Nah, definitely Zzippy, awec may have the nordie psycho genes, but he's a long thin streak of misery

    Zzippy was a GAA player was he not?

    I reckon it would be like Peter Crouch vs Andrew Porter :D

    Awec will buy Zzippy a pint. It turns out to be Harp which gives Zzippy the runs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,405 ✭✭✭Yeah_Right


    Zzippy would just need to show Awec a picture of David Nucifora and while Awec is distracted tearing the picture into tiny little pieces, Zzippy could get in a nice cheap shot and end it.

    I think awec would counter that by telling Zzippy that Nucifora wants Connacht to be reduced to amateur status. Stalemate.

    Reduced?


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 51,685 Mod ✭✭✭✭Stheno


    Reduced?

    You're for it now, we've two Connacht supporting mods :eek:

    Inadvertently getting awec a little too excited

    A thomand v Buer undercard with a Mod Vs Mod Main Event is the starts of a very good card. If YouTubers can rake in millions of PPV buys, why not Boardsies. :P

    Christ, I'd forgotten that.

    On an entirely different topic, has anyone found they've lost weight during the past few months?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Synode


    Been doing a lot of running so yep. The lightest weight I've been in years. Signed up for that 100kin30days.ie challenge

    I lost weight initially but I’ve put more on now. I’ve lost muscle as well so I’ve been set back a long way. Main reason I’m looking forward to getting home is my gym stuff there, if I’d known I’d be here this long I would have bought some


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 51,685 Mod ✭✭✭✭Stheno


    I've not been eating the vast amounts of crap I used have in the office and have lost weight as a result

    Buer and I are many things, but undercard we are not!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭DGRulz

    Become a Mod or Admin and we'll talk, until then, you're the warm up act.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer

    Munster fan in thinking they're still relevant.

    Shock.

    I have to laugh at the media posting the picture of the banner from last night's Premier League match and calling it a total disgrace or similar.

    I would say it's a disgrace to exploit the picture for retweets and clicks. Now the picture is out there and will be spread around.

    Ah in fairness it's big news. It's the job of the media to report the news.

    I agree it's big news and I'm not suggesting to not report on it. My problem is with media exploiting the image for clicks. Talksport for example tweeted the image calling it a total disgrace. It's all for retweets. You can report it without giving these clowns the attention they crave.

    Even the BBC have the image on an article on their website. Ridiculous.

    I had no idea what these posts are about, had to Google it. Is the circle complete now?
