Coxford_lou Posted 12 February, 2015 Author Posted 12 February, 2015 I'm holding out for the Orgy? thread I think that would make 10,000 responses, but still only 3 would show up.
Bearsy Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 You're probably right. I wish that me, or someone like me, had gone last night tho. If I had gone, I would have given a Full Report with critique of what people was wearing, and their haircuts, and accents, and strange aromas they gave off when they unzipped their jacket. This thread lacks Detail!
pap Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Because it's funny? It's meeting randoms off the internet. You probably are very nice person, but you could look like Meg Ryan, Jennifer Lawrence, Jo Brand or a 6'4 male hairy biker - the speculation and banter is amusing. It's got bugger all to do with randoms; quite the opposite, in fact. You want random? Try meeting people in the normal, non-Internet way. You have very little knowledge and no expectation of what that person is going to be like. That's random. Contrast that with Internet forums, where people do have expectations, mostly off the back of what has been written on said forums. It's potentially a mild version of Catfish, isn't it? People bigging themselves up on the Internet, suddenly forced to make good on the bigger version of themselves. That's not random; it's entirely predictable.

Turkish may not be turkish and I may not be smirking all the time ?! Give over papster, this thread was free from conspiracist nonsense
Bearsy Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Are you saying bearsy may not be a bear ? Turkish may not be turkish and I may not be smirking all the time ?! This is all entirely possible, of course. I don't know that it would improve my Saintsweb experience to find out that KelvinsRightGlove is actually a rampant mysogynist, Dubai Phil lives in Basingstoke, or that Tokyo-Saint is straight.

If I had gone, I would have given a Full Report with critique of what people was wearing, and their haircuts, and accents, and strange aromas they gave off when they unzipped their jacket. This thread lacks Detail! Oh, ok. I'll try, though I'm not very good at this sort of thing. So Bucks Saint is a man. Short hair. He was wearing dark clothes. Trousers and a coat. Shoes too IIRC. We were outside so no one took their coats off. Pap has long hair, and he's a man too. He was also wearing dark clothes, smoking a fag. Pap's daughter, super cool! Topics of conversation: Saints, Pap's nemisis, weight of Internet losers, CL defence of CBFry, and whether or not Pap's daughter will ever come to another Saints game (unlikely). Alcohol consumed: 2 pints. Hope I've made this sufficiently entertaining for you, Bear! PS. Thanks again Bucks and Pap for meeting up - it was good fun! More fun than the game!
Guided Missile Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 A few years ago I attended a BBC 606 (remember that?) meet up at the Old Ship in Swanwick. Luckily I wasn't easily recognisable, thanks to the old photo I use online, when I looked hot. A couple of the posters that attended, I knew, from "real life" and were the normal type you would expect. One of the female Saints fans (she knows who she is) later left her husband to begin an affair with one of the Pompey posters, a chef from Widley. I had figured this out during a drunken late night supper after the event at my house, (when they told me they were staying at the same hotel) . Two nice people, but one of the other posters from Pompey tagged along. A very weird guy and whilst in my kitchen, he grabbed my son's laptop and attempted to show his favourite porn sites to us at the kitchen table. I had been earlier unsettled, by a poster in the pub, I reckoned to be about 35-40 years of age, on finding out my online identity, latched onto me and attempted to show me, wide-eyed and breathlessly, his Panini sticker collection that he had brought along with him. In summary, most posters are from the wide range of society you would expect football fans to be, apart from a disturbingly high percentage of weirdos. The lesson for me was never to reveal where you live and always meet up in a public place. The second lesson was only to attend these events if you are desperately short of friends and have no other way to make them. Me? I have too many friends and am currently carrying out a "cull". F***!ng spongers, the lot of them....
sadoldgit Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Many, many years ago there was a forerunner of this site called SaintsList which was email based. We arranged a few meetings for posters near The Dell and on one occasion I attended a "do" in a local pub that included none other than Ted Bates and Rupert Lowe. It was interesting to meet so many people that I had only previously met online and as Pap says, you see them in a different light. Once you have meet people in the flesh (so to speak) and get to know them properly it does tend improve the online relationships. I am sure for example that Alpine cant possibly be so negative in real life (then again...).
Patrick Bateman Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 (edited) I'm just teasing ya. What's more funny though, is after 300 posts on this thread, only three people had the nerve to show! Next time I might start a 'Dinner?' thread and really raise the stakes... Nah, it's not a nerve to show, it's just a been there and done that. Met many randoms from the old Saintslist in the mid to late 90s and met some randoms from this forum (in its old format) in the early 2000s. But crack on though, nothing wrong with meeting new people, just makes me chuckle now I'm old and skeptical about the amount of complete nutjobs that seem to be on forums and social media! Plus, this forum needs some more p*ss-taking, it has become too dull Edited 12 February, 2015 by Patrick Bateman

Plus, this forum needs some more p*ss-taking, it has become too dull I met a load of posters from here when I played in a couple of the Saintsweb vs other teans forum matches. And have to say in the majority most were perfectly normal, if atleast not as good looking or as good on the pitch as me There certainly wasnt anyone in attendance that I would say was a complete fruitloop tbh.

buctootim Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 I would be so gutted if I met Bearsy in real life and turned out to not be the 6'2 Tom Selleck look a like I've got in my mind! You can pretty much rule that out. He's from Birmingham.
sadoldgit Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Hi PB, I am sure we did meet up back then. I have also shared a pint or two with GM! I think in those days the chat was centred on Rupert Lowe rather than the possibility of CL football so at least things have progressed somewhat!
sadoldgit Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 YOU INVITED THEM ROUND YOUR HOUSE?!! Not advisable Lou!

Yeah but how long ago was that? I'd say the "internet" has become more populated by more odd people even in the last 2 years. It's no longer limited to geeks (90s) and bored workers (most of the 2000s), there seem to be more odd people. Just my view - I might be wrong, or just old and skeptical as I said!
buctootim Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 on finding out my online identity, latched onto me and attempted to show me, wide-eyed and breathlessly, his Panini sticker collection that he had brought along with him You might want to work on the virtual image you give out
Coxford_lou Posted 12 February, 2015 Author Posted 12 February, 2015 Plus, this forum needs some more p*ss-taking, it has become too dull Well can you hurry up and get a bit better at it!

People's behaviour on the net is becoming more and more detached from what they present in face to face contact. A lot of people just seem to use it to indulge the obnoxious, aggressive, deluded or weird parts of them society doesn't give the time of day to.

It was prob two years ago and maybe one last year !? Think there was a point when we played a saintsweb vs saintsweb match which I went along to with a couple of mates and was a good giggle tbh. Perhaps the neccessity of having to have a modicum of athletic ability helped to block the appearance of the ubber weirdos ? I think Diben Pirlieu saint was coming but he couldnt park...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 This is all entirely possible, of course.

Pancake Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 YOU INVITED THEM ROUND YOUR HOUSE?!! Tbh, the 606 lot (Saints and the 'Sinners' from down there) are/were a decent bunch of people.
Patrick Bateman Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 I think Diben Pirlieu saint was coming but he couldnt park... Literally?
Bucks Saint Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 when I looked hot Great story, but I stopped believing it after this bit, sorry
Halo Stickman Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 In common with other forums this site has a large number of lurkers – people that watch from a distance but never post. So did any of you spot any possible lurkers at the Farmhouse last night?
Pancake Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Great story, but I stopped believing it after this bit, sorry GM was the dreamy pinup of the BBC back in the day. Like a rampaging cross between Simon Le Bon and an 80 yuppie Banker. Quite the dish. #mancrush
Bearsy Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Oh, ok. I'll try, though I'm not very good at this sort of thing. So Bucks Saint is a man. Short hair. He was wearing dark clothes.

Alcohol consumed: 2 pints. Hope I've made this sufficiently entertaining for you, Bear! PS. Thanks again Bucks and Pap for meeting up - it was good fun! More fun than the game! More like story pls. Pursed lips gripped wetly onto the delicate shaft. A heavy suck, a groan of relief. Repeated to satisfaction. He exhaled, and looked at me. 'Hi, I'm Pap.' I looked down on him with interest. Such a wee man, but the lank beauty of his unkempt hair was breathtaking. His eyes glittered behind the polaroid tint of his spectacles. They were the eyes of a killer, they drew you in. 'You must be Coxford Lou,' he said. 'We have been waiting for you.' I felt an immediate damp warmth flood my vaginal cavities. His voice - it was beautiful! The farmer-like south coast drawl had been seasoned with the nasal beauty of Scouse. I was instantly weak at the knees. I wanted him. Bad. I looked around, 'Who else is here?' The way I was feeling right now, I could take on all-comers. 'Just us,' he said, gesturing to a young girl beside him. His daughter I supposed. 'Oh, and Bucks Saint.' I followed his gaze. Dribbling in the corner was something approaching a man... More like this pls!
sadoldgit Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 People's behaviour on the net is becoming more and more detached from what they present in face to face contact. A lot of people just seem to use it to indulge the obnoxious, aggressive, deluded or weird parts of them society doesn't give the time of day to. I have read some pretty awful stuff on some websites. There was one dealing with the murders in Thailand last year that published some of the awful crime scene pictures. The comments that followed we more than sick. The worst comments seem to come from Americans. My daughter also received some pretty heavy abuse a few years back on Facebook from a Vietnam vet. She was only about 9 at the time and her sister hacked into her account and called this guy a plonker. I cant repeat what he called her back but it involved the usual American invective. She was clearly a young girl as she had posted a picture of herself. When I complained about this guys conduct the rest of his family started having a go at me online. What makes this particularly sad is that it was a group on FB that share the same surname and we had become "friends" in order to see if we were related (I have an unusual surname). If the weirdoes use the Internet for some kind of safe relief then perhaps that isn't so bad - but if these people are walking around like ticking bombs - eek! Some of them seem to be encouraged. Take that hideous harpy Katie Hopkins. The support she is getting from some quarters is scary. She is either a narcissistic nut job or she is just saying things for effect, either way, in the old days she would have been burnt as a witch. Now she makes a good living out of being highly offensive to people. She is all over the Internet like a plague.
Bearsy Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 I would be so gutted if I met Bearsy in real life and turned out to not be the 6'2 Tom Selleck look a like I've got in my mind! I can confirm 1 out of 2
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 More like story pls. More like this pls! :lol:
Patrick Bateman Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 More like story pls. More like this pls! Jesus! :lol:
Coxford_lou Posted 12 February, 2015 Author Posted 12 February, 2015 More like story pls. More like this pls! Oh my word!
Coxford_lou Posted 12 February, 2015 Author Posted 12 February, 2015 I can confirm 1 out of 2 After your last post, you could look like John Goodman for all I care!
Big Bad Bob Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 More like story pls. More like this pls! Jeez, are you really E L james in disguise. Some of them seem to be encouraged.

Bucks Saint Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 meet ups are nothing without photos Not sure if you remember how this real life thing works
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Believe Theres a definate degree of big sam about that look tbh
Guided Missile Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Theres a definate degree of big sam about that look tbh Fair comment...
sadoldgit Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Jeez, are you really E L james in disguise. WTF is Katie Hopkins, seriously I have no idea. Trust me, you don't want to know.
sadoldgit Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Did your 9 year old daughter have a Facebook account? Yes, my ex wife moved my daughters to Spain and they used to keep in touch with there old school friends through FB.
Coxford_lou Posted 12 February, 2015 Author Posted 12 February, 2015 Believe You've just posted a photo of yourself as evidence that you're hot? Has this just happened or have I imagined it?!
sussexsaint Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 when shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning or in rain
Guided Missile Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 You've just posted a photo of yourself as evidence that you're hot? Has this just happened or have I imagined it?! Actually it was posted so you could print it out and take it to your next social event, so that it looks like more people have turned up....
hypochondriac Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 You've just posted a photo of yourself as evidence that you're hot? Has this just happened or have I imagined it?! It was clearly a joke. That photo is from a BBC article from about 10 years ago.
hypochondriac Posted 12 February, 2015 Posted 12 February, 2015 Yes, my ex wife moved my daughters to Spain and they used to keep in touch with there old school friends through FB. Not being funny but that's the sort of thing that happens when you give a 9 year old a Facebook account. It isn't a good idea and there is an age limit on Facebook for a reason: Facebook requires everyone to be at least 13 years old before they can create an account (in some jurisdictions, this age limit may be higher). Creating an account with false info is a violation of our terms. This includes accounts registered on the behalf of someone under 13.
