    It's a fair achievement too follow a band around the world but it must get boring and repetitive


    42 times over 15 years isn't all that much really. I base some holidays around it and went all over Australia, New Zealand and Canada seeing them too so made it pretty interesting.

    I've seen Springsteen a few times myself over the years and the one thing I will say is he gives value for the price of his ticket.


    I tried to get to see him on Broadway last year when I was in the States he was sold out and couldn't afford the tout prices for the tickets that were going for crazy money.

    Thanks a million!

    Alexis are my all time favourite band ever, I've seen them live 42 times and usually follow them on their tours. I know Dallas, Chris and Wade pretty well and email back and forth with them a lot so get some cool access to the shows.

    Will you do me a favour and ask them why they never play over here ha

    + 1

    There is talks of him touring alone, intimate smaller venues for Western Stars album, any Irish venue he would sell out

    PTH2009 take care and rant vent or whatever you need here ;)

    With this Area 51 stuff going around and the planned deff going ahead or being successful tbh

    What do u believe is actually there ??

    Imo dont think its Aliens or anything that mad. Can't see something that possible in real life. Would love to be proven wrong but no

    I just think it's a testing area for the US Military

    The fact staff have too stay silent about what they saw in there is interesting ??

    About 30 people will turn up for that invasion of Area 51.


    Everyone in the know knows the Aliens are in Area 52 anyway.

    Supposedly it's just a giant storage facility for the military and that's it.

    I remember reading that some people think the real freaky stuff is hidden in the NORAD base in Cheyenne Mountain.

    Dude, have you watched any of the Bob Lazar stuff? Very interesting.

    I'll put it to you this way. Our Milky way has billions of stars. Now, our own sun is a star, and it has 9 planets (Pluto is still a planet to me dammit) revolving around it. One of which is friendly to life. So, if there are billions of stars, each with a complement of planets, in out own galaxy, and there are (as the saying goes), more galaxys than grains of sand on all the beaches in the world, is it not pretty arrogant of the human race to assume that we are the only ones out there?

    I do think that the US has some of these vehicles. They've reverse engineered some of the tech, which explains the huge leaps and bounds we've experienced technologically in the past 100 years.

    As for aliens, i think myself these "little grey men" are drones. They don't require sustenance, can't reproduce etc. Regardless of the speed that these UFOs can supposidly travel at, the distance between stars is still vast. And not something living beings could endure. It would take literal generations (not even just lifetimes) to travel

    If anyone is curious about Werewolf, the game you might often see PW posters like Necro or Beakerjoe talking about, the new big monthly game is starting soon and it is the first one I am running.

    The Sign up thread is open for another 2 days if anyone is interested in signing up. This month's theme is Batman but you don't need to know much about Batman to play, it is just for flavor.

    If your interested in signing up, pop your name down here with a simple "I'm in" or something similar.

    Don't worry if you feel like you won't have a clue what's going on at first having not played before, we have all been there and sure that can be a lot of fun too. Think JP Liz was one of the most recent PW posters to give it a try, but there have been loads of people from here in games there, LoughC, LordTSC etc

    Even IF there was aliens in Area 51 they are long moved to a different facility loooong before it became famous.

    But there was no aliens it’s only a testing facility for government spy planes.

    With my impending move to the States, it looks like I'll have to sell off my huge wrestling DVD collection (about 3k titles!).

    I wonder am I better to sell off in bundles or individually? Have some on ebay at the moment anyway to see. WWE ones worth feck all but my ROH/TNA ones seem like they could fetch decent prices.

    Will get a list together and throw on Adverts too I guess.

    Wonder how anyone, myself included, sticks this forum anymore.
    The moderating is like something out of North Korea. I can see why there's so many former Boardsies that stick to Reddit.

    What are you on about, the moderating in the PW Forum in particular is top notch.

    I wasn't on about PW, I was pretty much on about everywhere else.
    With that said, I particularly remember a moderator here saying we weren't allowed to talk about a temporarily banned user which is laughable.

    Again at a loss at what you mean, the modding on boards in general is fairly relaxed, majority of times when there is intervention it's to stop a thread de-railing or to stop a potential libel issue for boards.ie.

    I've been trying to think of a nice way to say this, but you've changed, kid. I remember chatting with you at OTT events and having great craic with you, but your posts have been getting more and more cynical and painful to read over the last year. You're the same in the Limerick forum. Long story short, it's not Boards.ie - it's you.
