    Were you in Grafton Street yesterday per chance? I was loitering with intent outside a shop when a rather bedraggled chap was walking up the street talking loudly on his phone saying, "it's Boards.ie, that's B.O.A.R.D.S dot I.E..." I got a warm feeling inside :) when I thought a fellow Boardster had just crossed my path but was most curious as to who he could have been.:confused: Can we establish a Boards greeting, a secret handshake perhaps like those Freemasons people have so that we will immediately be able to distibguish ourselves in a crowd?

    I do hear people speaking about boards sometimes. People in my work use it, don't know who I am.

    LOL!

    Actually, the new thing is to say LOL instead of laughing. I heard a guy on a phone saying that. True story

    i went through a year or so of saying lol, instead of laughing.. i don't know why, it wasn't a conscious effort at first.. I just started saying it. Of course once I copped on to what I was doing, I wholeheartedly endorsed it and carried on.. don't know why i stopped actually.

    I think I just saw something very funny and remembered how to laugh.

    ROFL!

    I think if we are going to have a signal it'll have to be the Rimmer salute... although we may be confused with Red Dwarf fan boys, but I'm willing to take the risk

    Perhaps one boardsie should change their name by deed poll to Atari Jaguar, and run in the next election. :p
