Forum Meet Ups: Why Don't You Go?

Pighead

Like many other boards people, Pighead has never been to an official boards beers. And its not as though they don't happen often enough The lads in the "Fat Bellies, Baldie Heads and Timebomb Hearts" forum seem to meet up every 2nd week at this stage.

So why don't you go? Is it because you're horrifically ugly and you're afraid that if you go people will start doubting the veracity of that thread you started last year entitled "I just had a threesome with 2 stunning supermodels and they enjoyed it more than me". Or is it just be too much stress to be meeting with 50 or 60 new people at the one time.

Pigheads reason is simple. Maroonment. Pigheads forever getting marooned. There could be a room with 767 people in it, 764 of them being the most charming, funny, easy going people you'd care to meet and you can be guaranteed that Pighead will end up talking to the 3 geeks who cite Professor Frink, Screech and Paul from the Wonder Years as their heroes.

So why don't you go?

They're usually too far "over there" for me to be able to attend with any ease.

Ehhhh cause the commute would be too long.

Thats a poor excuse. C'mon Aidan we live in Ireland, not China. Its gonna take you 3 hours max on a train to get up to the big city and as a mod you're allowed to sleep in any regular boards users house without even asking them so it must be something else. Lazyness, secret hatred of other mods, tragic accident involving loss of limbs?

Thats more like it. Cracking excuse, bulletproof. Look and learn Aidan.

I do go so theres no point in me being involved with this poll.

I attend most of the Galway meet ups but dont have the time to get to the main dublin ones

You're right, I admit it. I have a problem.

I can't stop the regular users from taking the coke and hookers.

I'm with Xavi on this one. Pighead i don't read your entire OP because it's usually drivel :pac: but why don't you go?

biko

What a spanner. You're interested in why Pighead doesn't go to forum meets yet you refuse to read the message where Pighead explained exactly why he doesn't go to forum meets? Join the dots togster, if you want to know the answer there is a way of finding it out.

Your sex life is probably similar, you complain about the lack of joyous squidgy liquidy sex in your life and wonder what you're doing wrong and in the very next breath you say "I don't like it when girls talk to me, so I hide in the cupboard"

Ah would you stop, you're another one in Cork. It's only a couple of hours up the dual carriageway in comparison to my 36 hours!

Pighead has already told you why he doesn't go! And whats all this talk about sandy vaginas? Is that why you're scared of girls?

Too many people to meet at the one time, shyness.

Meeting with people from the internetz doesn't appeal. I use boards to pass the time in work, not to meet up with people who are all more than likely paedophiles and serial killers

Similar to the way I don't socialise with ppl that I work with.

Plus, I'd find it hard to understand what ppl are talking about after a few drinks... when they start muttering stuff like that ^^^^^^^^^^^

I would go to one of the Galway meetups but they always seem to clash with something else that I'm doing. This weekend's one being yet another example .

Pighead doesn't go because his "normal" boards alterego is in attendance.
The body they share hasn't figured out how to be two people, in the same place as the same time. Yet.

Another reason to socialise with real people instead of boards gatherings...they don't spit on me!

I could hug you right now for getting rid of that awful username.

Pighead

For the people that do go to Forum Meet Ups, do you introduce yourself with your real name at meets, or carry on using your user name?

Like if coolock boy arrived would he introduce himself with a "Hi I'm coolock boy, you may rememer me from such threads as "How to find a burd"

Mr. Presentable

Too busy with real life

Step away from the keyboard

What'd you do to Sabotage?

Hugs anyway.

I'm 6th whether I'm on Boards or not.

WindSock

Ahh Pighead. You were missed at the Chistmas beers for the handing out of prizes. You are a major celebrity around here I'm sure people would be clambering to talk to you, and not just the bores. Why don't you turn up to the next beers incognito if you are apprehensive. Tell people you don't post on boards much but your reg name is baconface_III or something?

Finally, someone who appreciated him!

I'd have no problem going to one of these but it would be wierd alright. Didn't know they happened so often. Pighead you making an appearance would be quite an event I suspect.

ACTUALLY, you probably have been going posing as someone else haven't you!?

WindSock

Ehhh. Pighead, do you and coolock boy have anything in common?

Pigheads sure if there is one that degsy will be awaiting your arrival with open arms and a sausage at the ready.

To be fair the next Xmas beers should be held in the middle.
Athlone.

And Pighead will await your arrival with a knuckle sandwich you cheeky wee upstart. Honestly you kids and your thread derailing ways.

No point going to a huge sausage fest, we all know there's no wimmimz on the internet.

I'd go to the Galway beers but they're always on when I'm busy, and this one will be the last before I move anyway so that's that.

I think that if Pighead went to beers it would ruin the illusion. Imagine knowing that Pighead is a fat, baldy, spotty woman? It wouldn't be the same!

I've seen him IRL, he's not that fugly. His aroma is quite pleasant.

Genuine lol from me :pac:

I haven't been to a beers in ages, will probably make it to the one in June though.

Forum Grudges, afraid of getting thumped.

I always get the impression that everyone else would already know each other and I'd wandering about looking slightly lost, saying 'hi, I'm super_furry,' with everyone asking 'who?' or nodding politely before turning to their mates.

Both.

Mainly because I'd probably be the yougest person there.

I usually introduce myself with my real name and add "rbie on Boards" in somewhere. I'd much prefer if people just called me by my real name when at a beers or whatever, though I usually end up just being called Rb, which I suppose is alright but then a lot of people start calling me Rob. Which is wrong.

Too Cliquey

would like to attend one but i think i'd be too freaked out walking into a pub alone, looking for someone who looks like they post on a forum. though monkeyfudge's idea of cream eggs or whatever seemed novel.
