Pete Seeger Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 In the strange world which I undoubtedly inhabit, even posts on an internet messageboard can have an impact. AP spent much of the World Cup chastising my "creepy, weird" obsession with a place I'd never even been to; and wise old Uly even chimed in after the semi-final against Holland with a post which really made me think. And think. And think some more. How much impact did both have? 5-10% tops - but it did have an impact. You moved to South America because of a throwaway comment on a football messageboard? I'm not buying that. P.s, I'm not doubting your in South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 ******* hell Hang on a mo. What is "******* hell" about that? I've said it before and I'll say it again. Online forums are social communities - and you treat this place as a social community just as much as anyone else does. Social communities feature banter and wind-ups - but they also feature serious discussion amongst people with, usually, at least something in common. Friendships are made via online communities too; and I know in my case, there's a whole bunch of folk whose views I respect just as much online as I would anywhere else. Why there's this desperate rush to dismiss online forums as completely meaningless in every way (usually by folk who spend a huge amount of their time on online forums: go figure), I've never fully understood. In your life, Beats, I've no doubt people will have said things which made you think about your life and look at yourself. That's happened to me both here and, much more, away from here - but that didn't make what was said online any less significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_jambo Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 No, she's not the reason I'm in Uruguay. I made the decision to move here in Summer 2010. Believe it or not, both Ulysses and Alan Partridge had something small to do with it (redm and the former Kickbacker Heaven98 had fractionally more to do with it) - but it was massively more a case of knowing that I hadn't travelled as much as I should have done, being fascinated from afar by Uruguayan football and Uruguay itself for over two decades, and of course, wanting to write a book about football here. So I took an English teaching course, saved up, and left the UK in January: arriving here at the start of Feb via visiting her in NYC: just as I'd spent Xmas with her there the year beforehand. Nowadays, there's nothing that unusual about long distance relationships, or of people finding each other via the internet: but what was extraordinary was how well we actually got on in person, on all levels. She's a dear, sweet person, and while it may not ultimately have worked out, I wish her well, and we're still in touch as friends anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
