I think it was the night Mundy played in the Clarence, we talked but it was kind of a "howerya", "Hey." type thing.

Then I got really really drunk.

Haha whaaaaaaaat!!
No recolection of that whole night so no chance of me remembering. There was a pile of randomers in my pics from that night.

It was before christmas.
I had just finished work, waiting outside Johnstons Court and you(possibly) were going in. There was eye contact but wether it was you or not I'm not completely sure!!!!

So, do you work in Johnstons Court? (where is the stalker smiley?)

nicolaonfire · 06-08-2008 4:57pm

No not anymore!!
Used to work in a place ending in i

Hi guys

Not meaning to troll here, but I read through the KAYA thread and what happened exactly? Went from a nice welcoming to the thread getting closed. Was that necessary? I don't think they will be in a hurry to come back. I know the altercation with takola went deep and an apology was accepted. I was one (and many others) who welcomed KAYA at the start and find it unbelievable how far it deteriorated. Not digging it up again but feel the entire situation could have been difused before it got out of hand.

Anyway, how is everybody keeping? Zavvi are doing great deals right now. I am like a resident up there at the top where the Rock and Metal section is.

I locked the thread DenMan because in my opinion it had already been spoiled by the little spat between Kaya and Sueme which I might add should have been in PM rather than on thread. When asked that it be taken to pm it wasn't and there were further posts (Not necessarily between sue and kaya) which weren't exactly friendly toward the OP. I didn't see any point in leaving it open so that everyone could comment on the argument or get their bit in. And I didn't see the thread recovering. I will happily open the thread if Kaya wants it opened again. She's free to PM me.

I have to agree with DenMan on the KAYA thread. I also read it and got the vibe that maybe the forum is going a bit clicky and that new posters may not feel too welcome. I didn't even see anything KAYA should even have had to apoligise for to be honest.

See above.

I don't want the forum to seem cliquey but I suppose on some levels it's going to seem that way because everyone knows each other and every second post is "Oh I seen you in yada the other day". It will come across that way to newcomers. I don't see any way of stopping that?

If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to throw them out there?

nicolaonfire wrote: »

I agree with DenMan and guinessdrinker here.
I haven't came in here in a while or I just come here every so often so I just read the KAYA thread now. She brought up some good points. Don't see why it was locked and yeah guinessdrinker, this place has always been a bit clicky in my opinion!

See above.

sueme wrote: »

@ Takola re-reging will not bring down the heavens, its an internet forum not the UN. I suggested it to KAYA simply as a way to come back here afresh without any agro following her/him. I do, however, realise its not "approved" of on Boards.ie.

Sueme, re-registering is against boards.ie rules and will earn you a site-ban. It really is as simple as that. I would expect any regular boards user to know better than to suggest something that is against the rules to a newbie.

Especially something that will earn them a site-ban for their troubles.

sueme wrote: »

Anyway this post shouldn't be in this (much begged for by me) thread, but anything else I post here tends to be locked so here will have to do.

I locked one or two of your recent threads because they haven't belonged in this forum. That was blatantly obvious.

Look guys, I have no problem with answering any issues you have with my moderating. But in PM. This brings down the tone of the thread here and doesn't belong here. If you want to question any actions I've made or Xiney has made please do it in PM in future.

name a time place and day, and we'll try and be there mrs.t

bobcar61 · 06-08-2008 8:03pm

I could be recognised by people because people because I poseted an attachment with a picture of me in another thread,I think it was the "Does everyone know" thread which was locked.
As Ms.T says,she saw my link to my bebo page which is my Sig but I've had to put that on private now because my manager is able to view it so I'd rather not having him seeing it.So I guess its a bit pointless having it as my sig now isn't it?

Beacuse it far more fun watching you give out about missing the trouble than actually moderating it..... Obvously

Mrs T, we're heading off at the end of August :eek:

We still haven't found an apartment because the twit I emailed yesterday evening didn't email me back today. Damn.

Basq · 06-08-2008 8:31pm

Xiney.

If any of those people gave a contact number, ALWAYS phone instead of e-mail. People still just don't rely on e-mail as much as phone.

Just my 2c's!

Fair enough. Next time I wonder why there are so many people viewing the Sligo Forum at 6am I'll post it in er... the Kilkenney Forum or perhaps Arts and Crafts??

Next time I wonder if the nice chap I was talking to in McDonalds, Sligo was one of the posters here, I'll post in the um...Body Modification Forum?

Btw Takola, the PM function is open to you too.

Isn't that the whole point sueme? A boards poster could be anyone...period. From your next door neighbor to someone living with you. KAYA was curious about the Sligo thread and as a result set one up of their own. After what seemed like a very nice welcoming it descended into madness (quite quickly I might add). Many posters (myself included) post in multiple threads. A little bit of encouragement is all that is needed. Asking somebody to re-register is bad advice, no matter how you look at it.

Big_Mac · 06-08-2008 10:00pm

Ah C'mon guys, its over and done with now. Can't we just get back to the random chit chat gibberings that this thread is meant for before our dark overlord locks it? (I mean you Xiney BTW)

DenMan · 06-08-2008 10:05pm

Quite right Big Mac. Anybody been to the Glasshouse recently? Haven't been there in a while but it is cool. If they had an area set aside for bands to play there during the week that would be awesome!!!

DenMan · 06-08-2008 10:18pm

Kinda like a 1980's Manhattan. In fact I would have gone there if they had back then at that time, not so much now. Why do Sligo get things late? A question that continues to make me think deeply, very deeply!

Me too!!! I've only been there for lunch and I was following our wee man and I got a flash back from that film!

On another subject...... BEERS (or soft drinks). Wouldn't it be nice to have a night for Xiney and Mr Xiney before they leave us? So, I thought what about Friday 22nd or 29th August for beers night? I'll phone the sitter tomorrow to clear these dates with her. Which date would be suitable for you Xiney? I don't really know any pubs (except Mooneys) so somebody could suggest that.

Mr and Mrs Xiney are, indeed, lovely, and I wish them the very best of luck in Galway. If I get over my current social pariah predicament I'd be up for either night Mrs T.

DenMan · 07-08-2008 12:12am

Good luck in Galway guys, I hope you enjoy your time there. Like sueme said if something does come up I will try and make myself available. Hope you enjoy your new journey.

Xiney · 07-08-2008 12:48am

Well, I hope to be finished work by the 22nd and in Galway by the 29th so I think the 22nd would suit better

Mr Xiney might not be able to make it, he's got a lot of work to do before we head off. But hopefully he'd be able to take a few hours off

Mrs.T · 07-08-2008 8:46am

Ok then, 22nd August it is! Can't wait, going to phone sitter this morning. Where's your favourite pub Xiney?

Someone randomly rant at Xiney about Canada for me! And about Galway - they're my two favourite places. ^_^

Im only after reading this. Are you two going to Galway permanently or just a break?

Xiney · 07-08-2008 10:59am

We're moving there - so long as I can find a @#$%ing apartment that accepts cats and isn't a hovel. That venn diagram has an almost non-existant intersection, let me tell you....

Mint Sauce · 07-08-2008 6:14pm

evening all, can see a 3rd beers night in the making, will you be taking the sauce that night xiney

seems quite a bit more interest in this one, even more so than the first two

I'm around...

thoroughly depressing day of looking at apartments and job ads on the 'net.

I wish things would just magically fall into my lap. I'm so sick of all the upheaval, all the time

Basq · 07-08-2008 10:44pm

I'm around.. but about to watch 'Hot Fuzz'. Watched 'Shaun Of The Dead' for the.... must be 410th time last night so 'Hot Fuzz' was the logical next choice!

have you tried some of the galway newspapers xiney, some of them can be viewed online, might see something there not on the job sites or daft.ie (property and apartments)

Made in 2005.. saw it when it first came out and really impressed me. Very witty script alright.

Big_Mac · 07-08-2008 11:28pm

I watched the start of it, and got a bit bored of it. Watched mail order brides on Sky one instead. Couldn't really watch brosnan - he looked a lot like an awful poof in it. that 'tache was too much for me

Hmm, it was a bit quite round here earlier on wasn't it?............
