Hate this reaction to someone having the temerity to suggest an activity as well as beers.

I think it’s a great idea.

Suggesting an activity other than beers is great, I'd love it if people could manage it without a snide superior comment at the end though.

Just a thought...

Today yeah I could see that D, but ten years ago when it was much more laid back and jokey a forum?

The first beers I went to was a mod beers and TBH I expected the same, but while yeah there were a couple of people like that alright and they tended to hang out together, but most weren't at all like that. I was quite surprised if I'm honest. There was probably some internal selection thing going on too I suppose. IE the socially awkward were much less likely to attend something like that in the first place, so they were filtered out.

A weekend's pheasant shooting would be nice, not too boozy. Just hipfkasks with sippin' whiskey. And drugs. Loadsa and loadsa lovely fūckin drugs.

If it's an AH beers we should probably make it peasant shooting though.

Ya its mostly this. I've said it million times and seen it enough that some the ones with the biggest personas online are nothing in person!

Well you can never trust the Irish weather so that could be an onion in the ointment boom.. Still a good idea mind. 19 years since I've been hunting, a friend brought me deerstalking*. We spotted one anyhows and yer man stupidly hands me the long. So there's me, trying to steady my shot when something spooked the young stag. Instinctively, I dropped the rifle, whipped out a trusty Kel Tec pmr30 from me waistband and stuck 18 slugs in rapid succession into the fûcker. The stag ran away unharmed thank god, I unfortunately got 8years for voluntary manslaughter.

*May not be true.

And Hookers...oh no wait that might be more suitable for the fishing weekend!

The last two posters were trigger happy and archer. I think my pheasant thingy wins.

Trigger Happy · 25-07-2019 3:38pm

The pheasant hunting season does not start for a while yet though.
Let’s go peasant hunting instead.

If its in Dublin I'm up for it, I'll drag Degsy along too.. Ya know, just so we can f*ck sh*t up

I thought he'd have been assassinated by Bono by now.

I'll be on the p*ss in town all day tomorrow anyway so could swing by.

I'd love a beers but don't think will happen!

Guess ya never know.

Arghus · 25-07-2019 5:18pm

If it was ever to happen I'd give it consideration, why not? I'm sure most people would be sound and as stated by others in the thread most of the abrasive keyboard windbags wouldn't go because in real life they're too scared to leave their rooms.

Bono chancing his arm against the Duke of Dunsink? Don't think so bud, degsy would batter him like a red haired stepchild. Besides that, if I I ever got wind of it(and i would ya know)Hewsons wraparound shades would be wrapped around his bleedin neck. An enemy of Bono's is an ally of mine. I'd smash me keyboard of his head first for being a prick/big meany to degsy, then I'd boot him so hard up the hole that he'd land in South Sudan faster than the time it takes to say cedarwood

Only way be done I guess someone just set up a list of places and dates and decide via poll or whatever.

Just had a read of that Degsy lads posts. Lot of anger there. Is he taller sitting down than he is standing up? Did Bono take the last pair of platform shoes in his size at one stage or something??

I’m definitely up for it but - despite having started the thread - I don’t really want responsibility for organising it.

I thought he was a funny fùcker to be honest John, maybe you read his posts on the thunderdome forum and picked them up wrong, that was actually a banter page and the regular posters on it would have been fairly civil with one another on any other forum. His general knowledge on almost any subject you can think of is also top tier stuff. A librarian if I remember correctly, in Trinity. Think he's still posting away here under a different moniker. Open to correction on that last one though man.

It's a very underwhelming face, ask any woman who's met me.

I think this needs to happen in Coppers. But Coppers is a bit loud, maybe it should begin in Flannery's.

There could be boards babies out of this.

The Thunderdome was great. Flutt and his coprophilia, some guy called Sarge whom I think is now a major investment banker (mar dhea) and a mad bint called Bronte who was into anal sex. Honestly don't know what they were thinking when they shut that forum down.

Ted_YNWA · 25-07-2019 7:49pm

It is good to see the face behind the username. We are all normal people here(mostly).

I met up with a few boardsies last weekend and enjoyed it.

Be careful of the Persey one Tyrant she'll have you on the cocktails.

FFred · 25-07-2019 7:53pm

Reminder on the night out to make sure that you confirm the adjacent stalls are empty of fellow lavatarians (especially JohnnyFlash), before unleashing any devils dumplings ; lest you spawn another ‘etiquette’ thread :pac:

A meet up on Camden Street sounds ideal to me, and not just because it’s a 6 minute walk from my place

Walking distance for me too, neighbour. We can shove the rest of them into taxis. So what are we saying about a date and time?

I guess it should be a weekend day to facilitate anyone who’s coming from further than 6 minutes away?

If people who want to come throw out a few suggestions I can make a poll.

PTH2009 · 25-07-2019 8:51pm

I attended one a few years back and enjoyed it but suffered from worse mental health issues than I do today back then and I came off the wrong way to the other boardsies. They seemed nice tho and hopefully they remember me in a positive way.

Did nothing major but feel it would be much different today. Still recognize a few of them today

I dont see the fear in them tbh sure half of us go on tinder etc dates and there mostly complete strangers too

I suggest sooner rather than later, whilst the thread has a bit of momentum.

Would tomorrow night be too soon? Saturday?

If it's any consolation, awareness of mental health issues has leaped forwards in recent years, and I reckon almost everyone has at least one mental health issue anyway. So don't stress it. Come to the beers and you'll have at least one person who won't leave you hanging by yourself.

Cue the influx of ‘I can’t do Saturday’ ...’Can we do the 6th of Feb’ ... ‘Can we do it in Fermoy’ ...

PS .. I can’t do tomorrow or Saturday. really :pac:

Cancel your plans. Meet me in Flannery's on Saturday night.

We have a lot in common I suppose. We are both hilarious and erudite gentlemen when it comes to the written word.

But, we are opposites in geographical and migratory terms, since I’m a Dub living in the sticks, whereas you are a country gent living in the big schmoke

Discuss ...

You sound too lovely, and now I am glad you are not coming, I would only disappoint your expectations (but try to come).

As for the rest of us, we should make some kind of serious plan. Flannery's on Saturday, does that work? It's reasonably quiet around 8pm even on a Saturday.

Oh very much alive and doing great for himself.

Damn a boards beers with Degsy in full flight would be a howl.

I remember coming home from work one morning and listening to Gerry Ryan on RTE talking about online trolls, then he mentioned boards.ie and straight away he mentioned Degsy & his hatred of Bono, quoting a few of his posts on the little Dalkey lad.

Yea, I'll try drag him along for the craic if there's a beers in Dublin.

Sad day for boards when the plug was pulled on that forum bud. I used to be in fkn stitches reading through it. Never threw me own hat in the ring mind, but it cheered me up no end through rough times. I'd gladly buy degsy a pint if I ever bump into the bollix, Brontë is still here.

Wibbs · 25-07-2019 10:02pm

Always had a lot of time for Degsy, sound lad and great craic(he likely thinks me a gobshite, so also a good judge of character). Makikomi's alright too I suppose...
