That too.

But definitely some Walter Mitty types wanting to place themselves at the centre of the 'story'.

Since I saw this movie I wanted to go to Iceland with a skateboard and hit that road ! I might do it to since I still have my skateboard from when I was a teenager fckn years ago lol. Time to oil up those bearings perhaps.

Don’t know if they are Walter Mitty’s. More mouth-breathing thicks who struggle to tie their own shoelaces.

You only need a few of them to start panic buying to mess with everyone else's regular shop.

I actually met a young lad in Iceland he was a big fan of the film and was visiting all the places they filmed it.

No skateboard though

Walter Mitty II has closed his account. A shame, no more pseudo-codology to chew on. At least for now, until an insatiable desire for attention takes over.

Internet ruined by them. And what they love to use as a riposte is "oh so anything you disagree with is stupid!" (handy way to deflect).

No, anything that's stupid... is stupid.

Not every opinion is valid despite what some insist.

I worked with a girl a few years ago that lived in an absolute dream world.
She was in her 20s and claimed to have 4 different college degrees along with being a beautician, a professional showjumper and a wiccan.

Previous jobs included teaching english to foreign kids, legal secretary, a mediator, worked in "car crash investigations",an engineer for a building company, chairperson for the credit unions...thats just the few i remember.

3 times she faked a heart attack in work - ambulance called each time, each time she was back in work the next day.

She was also able to "astro travel".

Said she was living in mansion down in Wexford.

A guy from Wexford that knew her started in our job soon after - it was obviously all lies. She lived at home and had done a couple of PLC courses.

If she wasnt so arrogant and horrible we could have felt sorry for her - clearly wasnt well.

If the Cornonavirus Thread(s) are anything to go by all the pasta will disappear except for lasagne. Apparently, believing the end of the world is upon us is still not enough to get people to bother with layering up lasagne.
I think people are also going for those big things of water in the assumption that water stops coming out of the taps when all the people who work at the water factory drop dead. Or maybe someone sneezes virus into the sea and the remarkably small amount of virus turns the Earth's entire unbottled water supply into super-potent homoeopathic Sars-CoV-2.

I'd say they will be terrified of all Pasta.

Pasta comes from Italy.

:pac:

I knew one fellow who claimed arrogantly that he was the manager of an electronics store and that he knew powerful people that would hurt me.

Funny thing was I worked in that particular store and never saw him in my life before or since. Intriguing, that.

There's quite a few who want to place themselves at the centre of the 'drama' imo. If they don't actually have the virus, the next door neighbour's cat has it. And on it goes...

Happened remarkably quickly. And with a name change too.

He'll be back, spewing the same nonsense. Lad can't help himself.

Confirmed in the Feedback thread that a username is changed if the poster requests it before closing their account.

Why would anyone be concerned about what they've posted under an anonymous pseudonym?

It makes it easier to return and pull the same stunt again. With that in mind, assuming they do reappear, that individual should be ignored en masse by everyone who recognises them in AH, CA, Feedback, and elsewhere.

Absolutely. Whatever reincarnation they’ll carve out for themselves next time, best just give them a wide berth.

Isn't it a pity some do it via narky PMs, rather than publicly embarrassing themselves?

The PMs is rather amusingly apt.

Usually they can't resist both. I've received a few parting gifts, treasured to this day. I don't take myself seriously, nor them. It's something they never come to terms with, the messianic complex doesn't allow any humour.

This is it

There's a guy in Dublin, maybe 4ft 8" tall, that has a limp, who walks around, slowly, telling people he's a garda detective. Regularly see him around Dame St confronting people, often taxi drivers, telling them to move on, that they're parked in a bus lane or whatever. Seen him one night tell a few English lads, who were shouting and roaring on Fleet St, to 'keep it down' before he then slowly limped on about his business. They all went quiet for a few seconds and then broke up laughing. A character.

I wonder what the Gardai make of him. They don't appreciate strippers with realistic Garda uniforms.

Probably too busy with his rich lifestyle, extremely well paying job, much younger wife, multiple kids and a nanny to book in the big house in America.

How anyone ever took that lad serious was beyond me. He used to have a cabal that loved him in politics as he bashed the shinners.

Funny how things work out 😊

Ah yea sure he be like a pull-through for a rifle with her insatiable sex drive. I really have to get in on this Mittying craic with an alt account. Really not because I have any fantasy about living a much better life (I am living the dream as it is) but I will dream harder for the sake of providing continued entertainment to boardsies after them giving so much to me

The effort of inventing a fantasy life and maintaining the charade must be exhausting.

I'm far too lazy and lacking in imagination to bother.
