Tom or Graham, could you please block/ban me from posting to ILE and ILM?

Thank you.

You seem awfully dramatic sometimes.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:16 (twenty years ago) link

Your posts come from two IP addresses. I can ban the DSL one (the one you started this thread from), but not the AOL one, because lots of other people share it. Is this OK?

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:33 (twenty years ago) link

Oh crap. That's my home one. Ban this one, definitely. Is there no way you can block my email or something?

― robotman, Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:35 (twenty years ago) link

thanks by the way and sayonora everyone!

― robotman, Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:36 (twenty years ago) link

Have you developed some strange dependency that you cannot control?

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:36 (twenty years ago) link

yes. this place is very negative for me. but i've spent too long here to leave without outright banning.

― robotman, Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:38 (twenty years ago) link

Or are you a drama queen? I've been accused of that at least twice, so I sympathise...

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:39 (twenty years ago) link

A drama queen? On ILX? Never!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:40 (twenty years ago) link

yeah like NO WAY!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:42 (twenty years ago) link

Well fare thee well robotman. Was it the slang that you were picking up that irked you?

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:48 (twenty years ago) link

Cheerio Doomie - drop one of yr friends here a line if you want reconnection (assuming we do manage to ban you that is!). I'm sorry to see you go but I understand your reasons!

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:50 (twenty years ago) link

I've blocked the DSL IP address. I have no idea what to do about the other one.

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:55 (twenty years ago) link

See you in a few weeks so.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 14:56 (twenty years ago) link

Ronana - I was gonna ask on a thread a while back if Dublin people really put 'so' at the end of sentences. I thought it might just be a stereotype, you know, like Glasgow people all say "See you, Jimmy"?

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:02 (twenty years ago) link

i wz going to post "bejaysus" but i tht better of it, by the stars

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:04 (twenty years ago) link

Begorrah!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:10 (twenty years ago) link

No wait I can't remember where that's from. Yeah, I give you two weeks too.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:12 (twenty years ago) link

Not all Dublin people I suppose or anyone all the time but it does feel like the normal way to do it. I prefer it to "then".

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:15 (twenty years ago) link

I like it. First time I saw it it was in print, in some awfull wumminy story, so it looked kinda weird - hence the doubts

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:17 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't even pick up on that, it just seemed natural, though I read in an "or". I like vaguely dialectical things.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:19 (twenty years ago) link

It's not a Dublin thing, it's a country thing! Dirty great culchies tracking mud all over our language...

Ban Me! (a new form of message board S&M - and don't ban me please. No! No!)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:23 (twenty years ago) link

I live in the country! In New Zealand, though, where there isn't really enough of a population to develop interesting dialects. Southereners roll their "r"s, though, which is is a start.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:25 (twenty years ago) link

I tend to put a westcountry "see" at the end of spoken sentences, which, when combined with the increasing scousification of my orignal North London / Cornwall blend means I think I'm in a class of my own. Hang on, this thread seems to be deviating...sorry...

― Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:29 (twenty years ago) link

I can’t help thinking that doomie will be cracking up at his thread being hijacked but he’s totally impotent, at his own request – it amuses me greatly...

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:31 (twenty years ago) link

hey doomie maybe you can block yourself from within yr browser, you know, like pretend you're your own protective mother and ilx is child r*** Pr*n

― ron (ron), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 16:11 (twenty years ago) link

bye doomie.

Kill yr computah

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 16:15 (twenty years ago) link

Bye doomie and robotman. (am I missing something? Is that the same person?)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

Why is everyone suddenly calling Ronan "Ronana?"

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:38 (twenty years ago) link

It's pretty.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:39 (twenty years ago) link

NO IT'S NOT (runs from thread and has gender crisis)

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:40 (twenty years ago) link

It's my fault, it was my typo, soz Ronana

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:42 (twenty years ago) link

we'll call you Ronan The Barbarian instead so you can re-affirm your masculinity

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:45 (twenty years ago) link

No no, Ronana the Barbie....

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

I can be either.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:48 (twenty years ago) link

You got that gender identity sorted pretty quick, R!

Funny, I've had a hankering to do that with James Blount's name ("James Blouuuuunt, James Blouuuuuunt").

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 23:14 (twenty years ago) link

Of course, Ronaldo, that was the name of the soccer player who was adopted by Japan.

How old was he before he looked around and guessed something wasn't right?
