    You're walking into one hell of a "Yore ma..." line right there.


    OP: Yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,730 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    Have done at beers and the likes.
    Good laugh like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭Melange


    I have done so, and with quite a few boardsies. They don't know that I'm on boards, though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    Nobody I know from Boards alone, no.

    No, that's sad and creepy in my personal opinion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Yeah, but I knew them before boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,506 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    lol, yes but they never knew it, nor will they..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23

    Because Im 18 and everyone on Boards is older.

    Also I don't have any friends on Boards so if I went for a drink with them it'd be creepy.

    Also also I don't think you can properly get to know someone online so agreeing to drinks is weird.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Not of boards but strangly enough I am meeting somebody from another forum for the first time , for a pint on saturday night .

    But that's the whole point of meeting somebody ,so you get to know them a little bit better, or not at all but you wont know that till ya meet them .

    Not like you need an excuse anyway and besides, haven't you heard of blind dates ?

    Nope.

    I'm sure, at 18 everything is sad... But you don't have to meet anyone here for a blind date anyway. I've gotten to know some pretty sound people on here. I talk to quite a few people here on msn too, and know enough about each others real lives that I'd consider them friends. Tbh, there are some boardsies that spend a fair bit of time on boards, so sitting there having a waffle and a drink on the same wave-length as you is pretty cool.

    Btw, there are people on this site your own age. But age doesn't really matter here anyway.

    Does standing on top of the bar in a tight tee-shirt screaming "I'm Dr.Bollocko! And I'm drinking Jameson!" in an attempt to get free drink from strangers count?

    Yep.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
