so did everyone have a good weekend?
Just thinking about getting out of my bed now

Need to pack a bag for my hols tomorrow and then maybe I'll sit in the sun for the day....oh the decisions!!!!

rainbow kirby · 02-06-2009 10:21am

Yup! I certainly did, Cork was fun

Now to go for a run, then to pack my bag to head down to Galway... I'm seeing a lot of the country in a very short space of time!

Unbelievable weekend, indulged in numerous sports apart from the unspeakable - cycling, tennis, golf, ice cream eating and beer drinking....

Krusty_Clown · 03-06-2009 4:42pm

Bally8 · 03-06-2009 4:47pm

Ha ha no out of Ireland trips for me recently. I thought it was hayfever first but it developed into full blown horrible flu over the weekend. Apparently its going round these parts. It's just soooo unfair-I want to be able to breathe properly..moan moan moan moan (I'm the worlds worst patient)

Man-flu is more of a state of mind than anything else... I've plenty of female friends who suffer from man-flu i.e. they're wimps when it comes to being sick!

(Before I get killed, I get man-flu all the time!)

^ true, and I did eat a lot of it this w/e

robinph · 03-06-2009 5:17pm

I'm with you on ice creme eating and beer drinking being totally valid sports, I'm just not convinced by golfs inclusion.

Woddle · 04-06-2009 10:00am

How nice is the new apple lucozade, its like eating a mouth full of apple jacks, if you remember them.

rainbow kirby · 04-06-2009 10:55am

Apple jacks were gorgeous, I must try that

ManFromAtlantis · 04-06-2009 11:16am

were they like blackjacks ?

Woddle · 04-06-2009 11:20am

yep only nicer

and no doubt produced by bulmers, get you hooked on the taste at young age

osnola ibax · 04-06-2009 11:23am

I blame bulmers for ongoing stomach problems in my adult life, damn that refreshing apply goodness

Woddle · 04-06-2009 11:25am

Oh still Kopperberg by a country mile and then at the end of the night you top it off with the calpol flavoured mixed berry one

rainbow kirby · 04-06-2009 11:34am

The mixed berry one is awesome, it's as easy to drink as Ribena, but with a bit of a kick to it.

Woddle · 04-06-2009 11:37am

On another topic is it just me or are there any other parents who are addicted to calpol, my wife has started hiding it now so that when the kids need it, there is some there for them.

Cheers Krusty, yep I found it, DPs directions were spot on, only that he said at the end, that you will arrive at Loch Tay car park but I arrived at Ballinastowe. So in my silly brain I started thinking, this must be the wrong spot and how do I get down to the lough

Very enjoyable leg, mostly downhill, thanks again.

Magnet · 04-06-2009 2:18pm

.....said Cake....

Enjoy :pac::pac::pac::pac:

RacoonQueen · 04-06-2009 3:14pm

where's my slice?

MCOS · 04-06-2009 3:20pm

oh no... craving ignited :rolleyes:

Thats an awfully big cake for a 1 yesr old!

TheRoadRunner · 05-06-2009 2:15pm

Two things.

A shop close to where I work is selling "old school" sweets such as refresher bars, drumsticks, fizz bags etc etc. Haven't seen these in years. Anybody else come across them recently ? It seems the 80s are back, recession and all. I've also had to book a dentist appointment :eek: Bloody refresher bars.

Secondly, did anybody check out the freak show that is big brother 10. Is it me or do some of the chicks look like dudes ! As monty python would say "she's a man"

I suggest woddle that you progress to the 6+ version of Calpol (and avoid the orange flavour - its nothing like the original) and don't forget that you can also take Nurofen at the same time without breaching your paracetamol limits. And for those times when you are on the go, perhaps before a race, dont forget the calpol 6+ fast melts that you dissolve on your tongue at the start line.

I need to check but I don't think they have any of the penny sweets of fizz saucers at the moment. Will put an order in though.

Poxy weather. On the plus side I've had to cancel a bbq I committed to have last weekend but didn't really want to. Time to stop my rain dance

Bally8 · 06-06-2009 2:28pm

Also I am the worlds best girlfriend- I bought my boyfriend a helicopter flying lesson for his 30th and we went to Cork for it yesterday. It was fantastic- they allowed me and my daughter to come along for the flight too. Totally rocked.

Went to John Buckley's while I was in Cork and got kitted out for another while. Brilliant service, cant recommend them enough.

rainbow kirby · 06-06-2009 2:38pm

Just a quick one for the ladies: Lifestyle in the Jervis centre has Shock Absorber bras for a fiver at the moment... Got one yesterday

--amadeus-- · 06-06-2009 6:44pm

Why just the ladies? If I don't get back properly training again soon my moobs will need support...
