I find this online thing intriguing. We converse daily with people that we do not know, apart from their online personae. I love the site and while I know a few posters in the real world, most are just online characters, whom I do not know. This thread is meant to be totally complimentary in nature and is concerned with what the amazing Ressers could have done/been, in another life, as you see it!
@Tayto, if you think it is a bad idea, shut it by all means… but only meant to be a bit of fun! So here goes:
Guy Incognito: Jon Snow (brilliant reporter)
Dub 09: Heaney (wordsmith)
Stato: Jimmy Magee!
JJF: Power City (IT expert!)… I’ll come back to this
Tayto: Dr. Brian Cox (follee the science!)
Roman: Ernest Hemingway (travels, burdz etc!)
…so far!

The German lad that negotiated a ceasefire in Vietnam? I’ll take that Dub, and thank you sir!

I’d venture that Roman is about as far from Hemingway as possible to be. Other than good with words & burds!

More Walter Mitty😉
I distinctly remember a poster done up of ressers by a fellow good looking poster a number of years ago.
Now that was a classic!!
Absolutely correct @5AliveOh . As you all but said, I am incomparable.
To even get close to the essence what I am, would involve a preternatural combination of a Holy Trinty involving the acidic intellectual dexterity of Truman Capote with the mores, customs and premium luxuries of Jay McInerney with a sprinkling of Bret Easton Ellis added just for a bite of chi-chi spice.
In other words, only Roman is Roman - past, present and future; in this life and any other.
Amen.

Ok. If I’ve to hazard a wild guess…
Iomaint: local Dublin councillor. Wrath of FG bigwigs.
Rufus: diplomat with his measured posts (or else an orchard owner)
LondonJack: cantankerous civil servant
Tayto: must be a skilled negotiator with his patience. Or just a vending machine salesman.
Dub09: wealthy golf club owner.
Stato: computer programmer / lover of spreadsheets.
JJF: skilled photoshopper who hasn’t twigged on to how to use his skills for counterfeiting.
ProudDub: closet Meath supporter. Or more probably a nurse you don’t look sympathy from. Or a softy.
Mayoman: farmer.
Can’t think of anymore.

Correct! I’m hoping to get the Ryder Cup here in 2031.
When you head for Omagh after the Ballygawley roundabout there’s a bit of a yard a good bit on (near the pizza place I think) that looks like it could be a hotspot for activity. I always wonder if Daller owns it when I pass.

That’s the A5 Diner / filling station ! Has a yard behind it too.
Right across from McCanns pizza.
You always see a few dubs there on their way home.
Ps we used to live nearby. My plans for a toll bridge never made it past the application stage.

That sounds far too cosmopolitan for b’gawley.
Besides….fancy Italian words don’t sound the same with a Tyrone twang.
