How surreal is it going to be looking back at posts you made 20/30 years ago?

Well a lot of Boardsies are already grumpy gits anyway so probably won't be too surreal when they actually are old men.

I was planning on opening an account for 6th jnr (he's 6 weeks old) and giving it to him when he turns 15 ... imagine in 2023 getting an 2007 account!

If coolsmileygirls kids check up her old posts, it'll give them some vital clues as to who their real fathers are.

We get new members all the time there's bound to be someone left to continue on the BGRH ways. Plus whenever the news interviews these people who are 180 million years old they always say they drink, smoke and eat rubbish food so maybe this is the secret to long life.

Seeing as I can find a thread I made 2 years ago [it was a (now)hilarious thread on the counter strike forum] that's probably going to be hard to find ones you've made 20 years ago.

Sure do. Pighead highlighted Irishbirds disgraceful anti-mental sentiments and to be fair to her, she hasn't said a bad word about them since. Everyones a winner!
By the way DJ think you'd better bring your brother Collie D to the imaginary bar, the lads in foul humour today!

Very surreal I'd say. I must actually re-read some of my first posts.

This thread reminds me of a joke

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

Rather unfair taking a shot at Collie after he promised to ignore you for the rest of the day. But then I can't blame you for taking the easy way out as your form has slipped along with your third persona !

In 20-30 years, will every 2nd thread on After hours be on either tipping, roma's/polish/future day equivalent.

I want to be the first to *Bump* a 20 year old thread, with something really marginal like '+1'.
