    i am definitely a what you see is what you get person...altho perhaps a bit more vulgar in person. :oops:


    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
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    yeah i figured with it being a new board and all that'd i'd try and make it a new start with anyone i might have had issues with before... so i pm'd him, asking if he was going to stay good etc ... and he ignored it :D:D fucking big baby :cry:

    i figured life was too short to be an immature fuckwit... apparently not.

    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. all you mention, sans byrnzie(never met)...i too have met and loved! so, so, sooooo many american, european, canadian, south american and australian fans met on the road......fantastic times! altho given how many i've met, sure...there are a few i could live without, haha....but overall......all great experiences and most i would love to hang with more! :) i really cannot think of one person i've met that was sooo *different* from how they are here...some a bit quieter or louder....some didn't look quite as i imagined....but that's also so much FUN getting to find out and experience first-hand in real life. :mrgreen:
    Stay with me...

    It was awesome meeting you and your fine family. You all have a great aura. :) I love that you bring them with you...I can't wait to start doing that with my daughter

    I actually wasn't even talking about Speedy, but I like the you are trying to make a new start w/people you may have had issues with. Though we haven't met, I think like Speedy I think you come off as a gruff hilariously rude kind of person but I bet you're a sweetie in person too. :D

    I think I'm nicer and more polite on here than I am in person. I'd like to be rude on soo many occasions, but on the rare instances that I am it seems to cause more trouble than its worth. :roll:

    It's cute how some people are so shy in person at first....but a couple of beers later and they're on fire! :mrgreen:

    A little off topic, but I just read your sig Foxy of Fanch's little song and now I can't get that out of my head.

    For the most part everyone I've met through here is pretty much how I pictured them - though a few have surprised me by being a lot different.

    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.

    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:

    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...
