Saw this type of thread on another forum and was absolutely glued to the screen as were the forum members...
Even wound up missing a name I'd been waiting all day to drop because of it... It was worth it though...
A bloke posted one for a laugh and the whole place nearly ground to a halt as folks joined in...

TBH - You hang around actively on a forum for long enough and it isn't long before stuff comes out...

Thought I'd give it a shot... So here goes:

1) Was born in the North, lived in the South, now back in the North but much further up and f**kin hate it...
One of those 'I'm a property developer - get me out of here' moments...
I blame those property programs on TV... It can't be my fault!

2) My favorite character of all times has to be 'Mr Crabs' off Sponge Bob...
Just love him... Have to stop everything when hes on...

3) Was Grammar School educated so I guess I'm not thick, but never used any of what I achieved or learned there to make it in life...
Left home at 16 with just a suitcase and all I could carry... No roof over my head, no place to go...
At one time I slept rough on the street, yet wound up later on in life with royalty and diplomats both home and abroad...
By the time I was 30, without sounding conceited, I'd done more with my life than most would ever dream of doing...
Served in the forces, ran sucessful businesses, traveled the world and done all kinds of crazy stuff...
Now I'm up North :confused: Something went wrong somewhere... lol

4) It's my dogs fault (not the misses)... I drink far too much coffee. Must be 20 cups a day...
Just sits their everytime I have one waiting for some and I'm too soft to say no...

5) First time I got laid was my 16th birthday... Blonde horse riding instructor...
She cracked the whip and I had the ride of my life... Second was a Monroe lookalike, big boobs and all...
But relax, trust me, it went down hill FAST afer that...

6) I only drink alcohol on special occasions, christmas and new year now...
Truth is I pissed so much down the drain that by the time I was 30, totaled it up and realised, I was so disgusted it put me off it...

7) Finally - DON'T tell anyone but, my worst ever domain was registered this year - a typo of goog romance...
Was still asleep (no coffee yet) logged online and saw it on the front page, checked the generic saw it was taken, so went ahead without reading further...
Had totally forgot what day it was (Apr. 1st) till Rob from here pointed it out... lol First-time I discovered the 'edit' feature... lol
Must say, I was relieved to see another pilchard had registered one too so I wasn't alone... Anyone wanna buy it? Yours cheap - a cool six mill..

VERY SAD isn't it... So who's next?
 
My lifes too dull to list. All I will say is my career seems to be going backwards. Should be serving fries in a few years!

What would be interesting to know is what everybody does for a living on here? be it domaining full time or something else?
 
Come on guy's life ain't just domaining... If it is, that's sad...

While everyones half-cut from the pub, maybe someone else wants to post their seven...

Don't be shy, won't ruin your rep - you gotta have one in the first place ;) lol...
 
1. I was born an idiot and I aint changing for no one, so there.

2. I was born poor and I still aint changing.

3. I love my country but I hate living in it, capitalism has come completely full circle, so we're off and every other johnny who believes Britain is so great to live in, are risking life and limb to get handouts and live where we should be living. They'll soon realise and clear off too.

I don't know about you, but if you call living, working your arse off and keeping very little in your pocket in the end once government and every other bugger has nicked it... well you're the perfect British citizen. Those with brains are off to enjoy their current job, those who can work anywhere and still do it that is and find a better life worth living where money and happiness goes further. Will I find it? who cares, a pint is 50p, I can drown my sorrows in that if it all goes pear shaped.

You can tell the state of a country and how poor it's become and so hard to live in, when the bloody banks start selling mortgages for four stangers to live together? What the hell is all that about? and the nanny state BBC shows you how it's all so awfully nice and respectable haha 'ck off. I may look like a peasent but I aint living like one, anyone for 18th Century Manchester? 14 in a room but a share of it is yours... before you get up tut go tut cotton Mill lass.

*And don't get me started on how government are putting hundreds of thousands of senior citizens in homes, making them sell their properties to financial institutions just so they can live the rest of their lives with a modicum of respect and failing that, if you're stubborn enough to try, the government will nick half the house if you try passing it on to your children, is that right? we're mugs. Society is on the verge of collapse, anyone for Hungary? :mrgreen:

4. I left school at 16, left home at 17, bought a flat at 18 and that was my life 'ked for a good few years, then I worked for myself a few years later and I 'ked my life up even more. And here I sit, losing weight from 17 stone in May to a current 13 stone 12 pounds tomorrow. Life isn't fully rosy yet but I'm getting there, 2006 is the sorting, 2007 is the living. Between you and I, shhh, I've wasted the last ten years and I don't know where they've gone but I'm back.

5. I'm in lust/love or was or I thought I was, maybe I still am, it fell apart Sunday, well all week really, I ended it in spectacular fashion - I opened me mouth, had to, well perhaps a month earlier, I still want her, won't get her so I'm now going to Romania to live for a bit and should be there by Christmas, she can re-enter my life whenever she wants but I have to complete one thing and that's get abroad, I'm a better man for what I go through but need to stay positive otherwise ten years will become eleven years and I've worked hard to get this far.

I suspect there's more ladies around the corner, Kings Cross Station usually...

6. I'm Millwall, I've got the missing tooth, the tattoos, I've been drunk, in a cell for nothing more than not standing for the crap from old bill, I've defended myself, I've stood my ground, I've had a laugh, I've argued with the oppo, the old bill and me dad, I'm Millwall haha yes I'm joking, I never argued with me Dad (much), mum kicked him out when I was 12 I think, though I don't really talk about it, I like to claim it as my victory, it spoils the fun when I find out it isn't.

If you don't want a son like me, then keep your willy in your trousers and stick to your wife instead of chasing another girl. See, now that's a good government warning. I'm mentally unstable and an emotional freak but I know what home is and I am yet to find it but when I get there I'll know.

7. I got expelled twice from school, I should have left and gone out to work when I was 14, useless teachers, there were some gooduns but when the most important thing is shading in during a geography lesson and learning about a religion when you're an athiest, you have to wonder why God made us to waste our time so much... learn about other cultures by all means but a smack around the head and told to respect each other would have worked just as good. A shame the youth today don't get that treatment, I wish I had and they will too when they reach adulthood.

So that's seven things about me and probably several things about other people as well. We're all the same, we're murderers, thieves, racists, all the same, only our choices in life make us different. Meet the human race, one of the same but each and every one different.

That Ellis aint human though, he's above us remember, a god. Woooooo, you all have shit domains, Ellis has the best, forget about domaining, it's over, you got no chance says posh nob from the gutter oop north.

It is strange though, the poor come here to get rich and we're leaving with our job to live in their country to lead a better more fulfilling life without scraping to afford the cost of turning the cooker on. Madness.

'losing weight from 17 stone in May to a current 13 stone 12 pounds'

Yes I er love life haha

Have a butchers at How I Lose Weight - ilose.co.uk as punch used to say "that's how you do it"

I see what's happening to the URLS now, my apologies.
 
Blimey! I'm off to slit me wrists! :(
Unfortunately I can't stand what is happening to this country either and can see myself immigrating to new zealand or canada!
I read your ilose page Lee and it sounds like something i should be doing too!
Just need to kick start myself!. I'm hopefully moving before xmas to somewhere a bit green with parks so i think I may do the 5am thing and also get myself a bike!
Keeping it off is the hard bit though.

You know, that's a great article. Ever thought of journalism?

Should be in a womens mag for an article of 'how to get of your *rse and do something about it'

kudos

Are you joking? Probably are, I never really know when people are winding me up so just expect it and accept it. Over the years people have said they enjoy reading what I write and my opinion and slant on things usually creates debate but I've never really thought anything more of it.

I own and run a football fan site, well used to work religiously on it but now other things get in the way - like earning money, I still get paid a few thousand a year to write but rarely do as I claim that as traffic money. I do poetry as well - sort of, the one I enjoyed the most is hosted at Football Poets - Lee Owen

I do enjoy writing and getting on my soap box, I just scribble what I think and put it on the net. People see 20 paragraphs and think it took me hours when it only took me 30 minutes.

The food I eat doesn't leave me hungry and if it does I just eat again and in truth I've stopped doing the run / swim for now but the weight is still being lost at 2lbs a week although now slowing down (or maybe not) so will have to get back out there, it's just I'm working a bit more now. If I notice it slow down too much and I can't reach my target then I'll just dive in again.

Just remember, keeping it off means getting it on. :mrgreen: (That's my phrase, made up just for the moment haha) As for moving I was given a cost of living run down tonight and it's looking good, there may even be an opportunity to open an office but I'll stick with renting a two bed flat and seeing how I go with that - as I fancy an house. I might get lonely but if I open an office and employ some people, I can drag them out as David Brent and do an office comedy Romania style.

I saw some aerial photos tonight of the area I might move to, wedged between two Football grounds, around the corner from a couple of lakes but it's all rather communist still but I didn't mind Budapest and with Romania possibly joining the EU next year and them widely speaking English, it should be fun, maybe we'll see. I simply need to sell more domains and then that will make things easier.

I tried a blog on a domain but got bored and I'm a bit of a private person - despite what I've revealed on here, I did personal and business for a week but didn't enjoy it, well I did but I got bored of it. Perhaps I'll have a think about a blog - especially if there's money in it.

I might start it up again, thanks for that, the trouble is I have too many things to work on and I get nothing done. As long as you're not welsh you might like this but even Swansea fans enjoyed it. As for the blog, hmm money may make it worthwhile.

SNIPPET | In time honoured fashion... all the Heddlu hmmm their brothers, all the Heddlu hmmm their mothers, all the Heddlu hmmmm each other, hmmm back to Wales - we can't swear now can we... The Swansea match has been moved but wait until you find out the real reason why.

The Div Two clash against Swansea has been put back a day to 1:30pm on the Sunday, 22nd October. The match which was due to go ahead at their new ground, the 'Millwall take the Liberty' Stadium has put fans out yet again but it is as expected.

The game has been moved to allow for the pitch to be better suited for the magnificent display of football that both sides will allow to flow freely, a beautiful passing game needs the best of pitches.

On the Friday, Swansea are having their annual choose your sheep for a season contest, the rules are simple, release 5000 sheep into the ground and the Swansea fans run around naked looking for their match. Whatever bloats your goat eh lads? er floats your boat.

Naturally the FA, Swansea and Millwall Officials are worried the pitch will be in a bad state, so are now allowing 24 hours for all sheep to vacate the premises.
 
Just a prep.... Friday night's coming...

Don't break a new 'acorn' tradition....

Who's gonna be next?
