OOh! This is like having our own soap opera. Every time we log in there's a new episode.

I want to know if telephone numbers were exchanged between couldileaveyou and daniljohnson14? Early days yet, I do realise, but maybe we might have our first Theatreboard couple. In a couple of years time, if there's to be a Theatreboard wedding, I want an invite for instigating this thread. That's why I mentioned the big hat, anthony...! Because when Cilla attended the first Blind Date wediing, she wore the most enormous/ridiculous grey hat. Even she joked about it afterwards. (I'm still not 100% sure you understood my reference to it before from your first reaction !) I do hope these boys meet. Nothing like a little romance on the board ...

It really is weird seeing the faces behind all the comments.
I know I posted my instagram account when this thread was first started, but I have finally got round to changing my profile photo.

I decided to hop on the bandwagon like you attractive people and upload a profile picture. I always knew that I really disliked my appearance, but seeing how few pictures I actually have of myself really sent that message home. Maybe this will help me get over that!

I'll hold my hands up. I didn't quite get the reference. I know Cilla and and familiar with Surprise! Surprise! but the hat wearing reference is something I was unfamiliar with. I have been in the country (nearly) 11 years. Possibly this was before then. Nevertheless, if a Theatreboard wedding does happen, needs to say I will attending a Ted Baker male grooming salon and putting on my suit and I am there man! I'll be my fourth wedding in this country.

Thought I'd jump on the bandwagon but realised that I don't have any photos of myself on my new phone, that'll have to be fixed asap! As a substitute, my instagram is the same as my name on here, feel free to take a look!

A batch was sent out at the weekend so anyone who ordered them before then should receive them within the next few days.

I have finally joined in. I went with this picture because it is recent and the one of me dressed as an 18th century whore just seemed too theatrical!
Do say hello!

I was semi-doxxed a few years ago, so the only thing you guys will see of me is my chest and part of my bedroom. Sorry.

Ordered 10 days ago, but nothing here yet. going to see Bare tomorrow and was hoping I could wear them there Yours was definitely posted on Saturday Anniek, but with the bank holiday and the fact that they are sent second class, I guess it will be with you in a couple of days. I really hope you get it in time for Bare! I'm planning to send out orders once a week as a minimum. As Andy says, everyone who ordered by Saturday has now had theirs posted. A few more orders have come in since then and I'll get those in the post over the next couple of days.

anthony40, you're starting to sound like one of those online bots that is programmed to automatically reply the same thing to every person, just in a very slightly different way! I love it!

It's really cool looking at threads now seeing loads of real people staring back at you. This has worked out really well.

Some posts have become "easier" to read, or understand, now the identity has been revealed. For some, the opposite is true. I miss the inventiveness and choices of some of the previous avatars, and liked it when they changed every so often. You are lovely, andrew, but weren't you the swans? I loved those swans! I wondered what they meant to you, where you found the picture, were swans important to you... The faces have been interesting, but the element of mystery has gone now. I've always liked an element of anonymity in chat forums... I know the choice to post our photographs is ours, but it has felt a little like we should all follow suit. And I'm sure that wasn't anthony's original intention. It's interesting that since some people have posted their photographs, so some have additionally revealed their jobs... (In another thread, one poster revealed where another worked on a voluntary basis. It was done in praise of their role but I wonder if the person was 100% happy with this information being shared with us all.) What will people be revealing about themselves next? For all sorts of reasons, we should all be wary of how much we are sharing with complete strangers online. Because while we believe we are all (mostly) one big happy family most of the time, we are (mostly) just a "room" full of strangers, and that room expands with new strangers entering all the time... Just my own personal thoughts. That's all.

I think some of us remember the internet at a time when we were all discouraged from revealing anything personal, our names, our towns, our jobs, our schools, anything at all that could be tracked back to us, for personal safety reasons. And others of us will have come to the internet in a time when we have been encouraged to use our real names and faces, for truth and accountability. And still others of us will be aware we're in an inbetween time, where we should be safe enough to reveal our names and faces, but at the same time should absolutely limit all other information in case it is picked up and used against us. I was definitely brought up in the "keep it secret, keep it safe" internet era, and now that I'm older, I'm perilously aware that a woman on the internet can receive quite viciously unwanted attention if she dares *gasp!* have an OPINION on something, so I won't be posting my face on here. And I fully understand why other people might not want to, but I don't think the people who are sharing are dumb, it's just all our own choices. (I do agree we should maybe limit ourselves to revealing our own personal information if we choose to, and not not revealing anyone else's without their explicit prior consent. )
