    These people are almost certainly culchies OP, please ignore them.

    After Hours is a group of people sitting in a pub chatting away.

    A troll is someone who walks up to one of the girls at the bar, calls her fat, says her friend did it, and starts unholy war. The more mature people in the group ignore him and tell the rest to simmer down, the simple folk go in guns blazing seeking troll's head on a plate.

    Dear T.Roll-Fodder,

    Yes, but it doesn't always work.

    Your patience in this matter is appreciated while we upgrade our systems.

    Yours Insincerely,

    Don't say anything bad about Sinn Fein though folks, they watch the internets like hawks. I fell victim to a hit only a few hours ago...left my house for an hour and a half and my Boards reputation had been - well, if not assassinated, certainly kneecapped.

    Well I don't even know who you are so I'd say your reputation was aborted.

    I disagree with this - if a culchie comes up to a group of suburbanites and starts spouting his colloquial gibberish and waving a hurley around menancingly (as they do) then it is the responsibility of the suburbanites to kick the culchie out of the establishment. We cannot afford to give these creatures an inch Mitch.

    Seriously, were you just born?

    These people exist in real life as well, they're just more prevalent on the internet due to the anonymity.

    Ya the anonymity is key here the posters that pi$$ me off are probably the same people that pi$$ me off at work and down the pub too

    I only joined the site to play a prank on a friend who I knew had joined a few months previous. 8 months later and I use the site nearly daily :)

    Prank worked out very well btw

    How sad are ye people posting on a internet site. Its no wonder the country is the way it is, i bet ye are all unemployed marginalised members of the community. Get out and get a bloody job for yourselves. Ye have too much time on your hands!!

    Ok, fairly long winded.

    I knew the friend had a boards account, and knew his username.

    On a thread about an NFL show, I seen the friend offered to PM the details of where he downloaded the full series. I signed up and requested the PM, which he duly sent.

    I replied...
    Do you find this funny or something? I tried downloading off Btjunkie. My antivirus system flared up and i took me ages to close the laptop down. Now its telling me that i have 4 trojan horses which cant be removed and my laptop has gone very slow. I have a good mind to report you

    Friends reply
    I'm not messing with you. I genuinely downloaded from their myself. I download stuff constantly from it. When you go into the link it tells you whether its a good or bad link and people leave comments aswell. Sorry man but im not messing with you. Hust looked their and the 1 i downloaded was http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Hard-Kno...cd2370857dbb20 at this link

    This went back and forth for a while, with me berating him about not having a proper anti-virus system and him continuing his apology and assuring me that the link should work.

    At the same time, the same friend rang me and amongst other things, told me laughing that he had sent a link to some lad on the net, and "ur man was goin cracked cos he now has a load of trojan horses on his laptop haha" I had a hard time keeping from breaking down laughing, but I told him to keep me informed.

    My next ploy was to look for compensation..
    I still haven't got a response from my last message? Judging by your past posts it seems we are both in UL. 3rd year eh? I think you need to be a little more careful with the information you share on the net. Remember it wont be impossible for me to find you. It's going to cost me 55 quid to fix the laptop. Somewhere around the 30 quid mark from you would be fair

    His reply
    I've other things for doing than be on this.. I'm not paying you anything. You asked me for a place you could download hard knocks and i sent it to you..So there is no reson for me to pay you. Thats great your in UL and arent you mighty for looking that up but im not payin ya

    Again this went back and forth for a while, with my friend texting me everything that was happening regarding this "psycho on the net". Eventually I PM'd him saying I would get my IT friends to hack his account if he didn't pay up. He said fire away. My response..
    Stop trying to be smart. I never said your degree was lowly. Look I didnt want to do this but I got the friends to help out. So, (friends name) of 3rd year (course), you might be getting a visit outside a lecture in September.

    My friend called to my house that night and showed me the PM's, half bewildered, half amused at how this lad managed to hack him and get his real name. I had to chat back and try to keep a straight face.

    A few days later I got this back.
    dont know if u got my last PM. Internet went. I still feel i dont owe you any money. I will give you a usb with hard knocks on it if you want and i might buy you a shot in the lodge. No need for threats either

    Eventually we settled that he would bring me back a bottle of something from his foreign holiday a few weeks later.
    hahah you alcoholic :-). i will yeah no bother... still dont know your name though......its great isnt it ... drink sorts everything.. Ill give you hard knocks aswell anyway because its worth watchin.

    My Reply
    Ok i'm going to hold you to that bottle! Captain Morgan would be nice.
    Nah I dont think i'll watch Hard Knocks cos I'd say it's ****e.

    My number so is (my real number).

    And my name Is (My real name)

    I got a phone call straight away from the friend laughing and calling me a b****x. Wasted a bit of time for me during my boring work placement anyway :)
