    I'd like to think, I'm relatively the same way in person as on here.

    You're funnier in person. :P :mrgreen:

    Me and another Pit friend were talking about past tours, all the people we've met from here and comparing people's board personality to their "in-person" personality.

    So I was wondering if you alter your personality on here because it's the internet and you can, or are you the 'what you read is what you get' kind of person? :?:
    well I don't think you and I had talked TOO much before meeting... so I can't say I knew what to expect... so if you come across here as fun, funny and good people... then yeh, you match your board persona ;)

    I don't know if I do or not, people tell me I do... but I get misunderstood much more here than in real life... maybe cos in real life I AVOID the idiots :lol:

    i think i'm the same online as offline, it's up to those who meet me to make that distinction i suppose! :) i love meeting people from here, i've been very lucky to meet some good folks :)

    this is also very true ;)

    when i was in Dublin i was kinda quieter but thats cos i had the wife with me... and she gets annoyed with me if i fart around and leave her standing for 40 minutes on her own.. she also keeps slapping me cos of things i say... which can get a bit annoying.

    I've met up woth most of the Uuros who frequent here and they are as lovely as their on screen persona.. CHime, VV, Redrock, eMMi... all lovely people... Byrnzie is a fucking animal... as is Irish Al... and Helen has an amazing stayin awake/drinking capacity... not as good as mine like, but good all the same.... ;) but she is just the same on here as she is in real life (thats scary isnt it) :twisted:

    i really want to meet up with more of these guys again.. next PJ show!!! :D
    well now I'm GONNA have to go visit ya to prove my drinking/stayin awake capacity is better than yours :P I explained the reasons I went to bed first that night... and in hindsight those reasons are pretty funny :lol:

    I think you're nicer than you can come across ;) still a fucking prick, but nicer :mrgreen:

    you were a lot quieter in person - and the wife wasn't with you - and i've found that to be true for a few.

    this was in london obviously? i was with Donald... who is just as bad as my wife.. ;)

    but same could be said for you... you talked a lot less than you do on here... but then thats not hard is it. :P

    i actually can't recall spending hours talking with each other... i think i did a pretty decent job of mingling around trying to meet folks :?

    i think there's a few reasons for that, for all of us really. in person:

    1. alcohol is almost always involved, in copious amounts.
    2. we don't discuss half the shit in real life that we do here.
    3. even if we did discuss it, we'd quickly move on.
    4. and even if we didn't...it is so much easier to be *understood* in person, can quickly correct misunderstndings....body language...tone.....etc....all aide understanding.
    5. did i mention the alcohol? :mrgreen:




    dunky, you just seemed quieter to me. :)
    i haven't met anyone who thought i was quieter in person, aside from you. :P
    then again, you were pretty drunk, and we didn't talk too long....but i was expecting you to be a bit more boisterous is all.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    well I'm drunk half the time I'm posting on here :P so I don't think the alcohol explains it :mrgreen: but yeh, I agree with the rest of your points.

    only thing i remember was i got your name wrong and you gave me a row... is that right? :oops:

    oh i'm not saying you were quieter... just you spoke less words than you type on here. ;)

    i don't recall. :oops:
    bout the only comment i remember is you saying how you thought i had short hair, and obviously, i do not. :D
    so much for deep, meaningful convo...haha.

    and you just didn't spend enough time with me for all the words to be spoken. :mrgreen:
    but sure, i think we all manage to be a lot more succinct in person. ;)

    I think I'm less caustic in real life than here. For one thing, I rarely discuss the things we discuss here. For another, I think I come off here as the most arrogant, cynical, depressed, bitter, and hateful human being imaginable. In real life within 5 seconds people can tell just how laid back I am and that despite my strong views I don't take myself or anything else as seriously as it might seem when you only have my words to read. While my cynicism here might make me seem like Donnie Downer, in real life the cynicism results in a pretty happy-go-lucky attitude. When you expect everything to suck and be doomed to failure and misery, it's easy to say fuck it all and enjoy the moment :)

    i can be really quiet...i like to take everything in, especially in large groups. but, once i warm up, i'm quite chatty...especially if i'm drunk!! i think that i'm much funnier in person too...my sense of humor doesn't really translate well online.

    I wish people could hear how I want things to sound...however, that's not how this game works. So i find myself editing...myself!

    I think my "inner=sarcasm" comes out on here more than in real life, but it's pretty close.

    This thread looks familiar :D.

    Im basically who I am in real life. I try to be more outgoing as im kind of reserved and that doesn't go well on a message board. A lot of times i hold back and do not post what i want. Probably a good idea because it has gotten me in trouble in the past. :?
