    wud ur husband mind a lil 20 year old callin round talkin bout music and shoes? :P

    my husband would simply look on with a mixture of horror and bemusement.

    alas I can only talk about shoes and not partake - I wear a size 9 despite not even being a glamazon nor a transexual.

    I'm moving to Galway in a month's time and I'm terrified. I moved to Sligo last year from Canada and uh..... well a combination of situations caused me to make almost no friends. But I'm 22, female, married (I know, young, but I'm not a religious nutter and it wasn't a shotgun affair) nice, and funny, and animals love me (imo they're better judges of character than most humans)

    ...anyone want to be my friend?

    hey us sligo boards forum peeps gotta stick together...Let me know when you are moving down and we could get coffee?

    Well, my girlfriend is moving back to Dublin in September for work, so I wouldn't mind going along to a few boards beers! I don't have any intention of moving to Dublin anytime soon...

    So when is the next boards beers?

    I wonder if one could try auction off a friendship on ebay...

    I mean, there was that guy who sold his life, and a girl who sold her virginity... I came across an air guitar the last day, and a chocolate fondue (that one made me laugh... don't know why...)

    You could try it...

    I think your attitude explains pretty nicely why you're finding it difficult to make new friends.

    Sorry for my nasty comments about the old hags but if you knew them you would say the same thing. They go behind your back (and some of them dont go behind your back) and bitch about you. Its a nasty atmosphere. Dont see why i should have to enjoy drinks with them when i dont enjoy them in work.

    to be fair to the OP, a lot of people have problems with folk they work for. If you're not lucky enough to enjoy the atmosphere where you do work, then you're likely to be resentful towards it simply because you spend so much time there. I think she only mentioned it originally to stop people replying with the 'why don't you make friends from your workplace?' suggestion

    I think being friends with all you people could triple my productivity. No longer would I have to differentiate between "Real life" and "Internet".

    Hello there!

    in Galway from September. I am a male turned 30. How great would it be to make new friends! I like fascinating conversations, good live music, art and nature in general, wine or beer can be good too sometimes, can't say I like loud parties. Cycling beautiful places is great! Anyone like me, newcomer or single, or anyone who just feels like meeting new friends, positive and honest PM me guys. gender, race, age, etc. don't matter

    Cheers!

    Hey,

    I must add that i having been livin here for last two years in Galway, i have found people here to be very clannish and wouldn't consider socialising with anyone new as they have their group of friends as it is. I'm 24 and have the same problem as Lisa where my colleagues are alot older than i, so would have fewer interests and common ground.
    I suppose what i'll have to do is push very hard to make friends by joining either some classes or a club. Seems to be the only way. :(
