Who do you like and dislike most on the board

[ziggysego]

None of that kind of stuff goes on in Tyrone Steve. We're good clean livin' folk up here.

[Minder]

Been away for a few days and read this thread earlier, nobody i dislike as i only know two or three of the posters personally. A few that i always read with interest,TYP, Hardy, Puckoon, Muppet, Skull1 on the Antrim Hurling thread, Hardstation, AZ, probably missed a few but that is just off the top of my head. There are a fair few that talk bollocks ( in particular on one particular soccer thread, the biggest team thread in the world i believe) but sure isnt that the case everywhere? Nobody gets up my nose too much as it is only an internet discussion board, a really good one at that.

[Tony Baloney]

Milltown Row is good un too on the general and antrim hurling threads, although he needs to lay off the grape juice

[Puckoon]

[leenie]

 leenie has noticed no-one likes her.... whilst she does find this hard to take, so much that she is now referring to herself in the third person, she is going to do something about it! if one cannot be liked through the medium of the world-wide-web then can one really be like anywhere?     LEENIE WILL NEED TO CHANGE!

How to Be More Popular

Many people believe the route to success is to be interesting—to show off or act like someone else. For example, many teenagers can't understand why they are unpopular. They learned as children that to get attention they should act up a little; to be as interesting as possible. Yet acting interesting does not make a teenager popular. To handle their unpopularity, they might decide to despise people or become loners. Or they try harmful acts to gain respect: smoking, drinking, graffiti, shoplifting, drugs, sex, guns and so on.

Acting interesting can ruin your adult life as well. Show-off employees, self-centered managers and pompous business owners rarely do well for long.

The secret to popularity is not to be interesting, but to be interested.

"When a person becomes terribly interesting he has lots of problems, believe me. That is the chasm which is crossed by all of your celebrities, anybody who is foolish enough to become famous. He crosses over from being interested in life to being interesting. And people who are interesting are really no longer interested in life. It's very baffling to some young fellow why he can't make some beautiful girl interested in him. Well, she is not interested, she is interesting." — L. Ron Hubbard

If you are an actor on stage, you are interesting while acting. Seminar speakers are interesting. Comedians, models and magicians are interesting.

Yet in real life, on a one-on-one basis, interesting people are irritating. They only do things to get your attention and admiration. They believe they are on stage acting for an audience of one.

If you want people to cooperate with you, to like you or to open up to you, you must be interested.

Instead of focusing on yourself, you start to focus on others. You notice what makes them happy or unhappy. Your attention comes off of you and onto others.

When your thoughts are more on others than on yourself, you feel little stress. You act and respond with more intelligence. Your production level increases and you have more fun.

When you are interested, people love your interest in them. They want to be around you. You are popular.

Five Ways to Be More Interested

1. Strive to shift your attention from yourself onto other people or objects. This is a great stress reliever.

2. Find things about people that interest you. Force yourself to look for interesting things. Soon you will automatically take interest in people without thinking about it.

3. If you catch yourself acting like someone else, you are being interesting. Simply get interested in the person in front of you and you'll feel more natural. You are most effective when you are simply being yourself.

4. When someone makes you nervous or shy, get interested in them. Take your attention off of yourself and on to others. With practice, you will be calm, even bold.

5. Focus on how you can help others. Let your interest in helping people replace your tendency to act interesting. Your effectiveness and popularity will soar.


LEENIE IS GOING TO TAKE THIS ADVICE SERIOUSLY.............

[rosnarun]

Wouldnt it be relatively safe to say that if anyone one here needed any kind of help - someone would try and provide it? Sure there are people whose posts you may not leap out of bed to read, but on the whole its a decent bunch of folks.
Even pints.

your not kidding about he selfhelp clinic bridget jones seems have joined us in the shape of lennie (though lennie write much better )

[leenie]

 

and it still doesn't make me popular............

[SLIGONIAN]

Dry them ziggy.


whatever happen to keadychick btw, di yye finally scare her off?


I don't dislike anyone on the board because I dont know 99.9 % of ye.

I know Bennydorano well as well as Rufus and a few of the other Armagh heads and they are sound men.

I have a lot of time for POG and BC and of course the lovely Treas and Tyronelass.

I had one Tyronie stay at our house for a few days and had a great time with him, that was Gab and he was as sound as a Tyrone man can get. 

Fearon can be brilliantly funny at times. the list goes on.

That said I have an un-natural hatred for Sligo, I was born in Mayo so maybe thats why. 

Right back at ya .

[Aerlik]

Likes: Muppet, someone else interested in the aviation game and although we might not be on the same approach path (so to speak) at times, it's good to have someone who has interest in what you do.
Lynchbhoy, well, for who he is/where he's from and for knowing a wee bit of his background
Donagh, great for bringing up political stuff
Oakleaf, my informant about the progress my two nephews are making...
Max Marillius, Derry man to the core
the Kilrea lads
WhiskeySteve, from a club that has come up from nothing in one of the most un-GAA areas of Ireland
Stephenite, appreciates things here in Oz that tourists won't.

Dislikes: the obviously anti-GAA brigade, the anti-hurling brigade (especially the Derry anti-hurling brigade)
