To paddle in or to put the beer in?

Put the beer in, then paddle. Obviously.

Ah kb, I'm so happy for you!

Orim · 17-06-2014 6:35pm

Congrats KB. Well deserved.

GS, that paddling pool sounds like a great idea. Could really use it right now. Got some milkshakes though and they are going down a treat.

Lucyfur · 17-06-2014 6:53pm

I got my doggy a paddling pool

Orim · 17-06-2014 7:08pm

And I'm jealous of a dog.

Ms. Koi · 17-06-2014 8:16pm

Congrats K B! Delighted for you!!

Spent the day helping out around the house. We were painting the outside house, windowsills etc, the place looks fecking great!

I am paying for it now though and have been curled up in a ball under my duvet waiting for painkillers to kick in!!

McChubbin · 17-06-2014 9:56pm

I could murder a bottle or two of Black Wych right now. Alas, I'm broke and the nearest stockist is in Artane.
I want to go for drinks but common sense dictates that I buy my summer wardrobe first. Also, my MP3 player is dying a slow death and I'm too broke to replace it at the minute. Comic Con is coming up soon and I badly need to replace my clamped out mobile so everything is money, money, money. I'm generally quite good at saving but it's tough when you've got no job.
I've applied everywhere and heard nothing back save for a clinical automated email telling me my "application was unsuccessful".

Someone give me the winning Lotto numbers because I'm in serious need of a cash injection.

gregers85 · 18-06-2014 9:45pm

So this week has been bloody awesome!! Booked the week off in January and we get a bloody heat wave!!!

There are so many heavily tattooed lads playing in the World Cup. It's a wonderful sight

Orim · 18-06-2014 10:23pm

Good to see your taking the World Cup in the spirit it's intended Jen.

Congrats Gregers.

Clearly you're a closet fan Damo. Knowing the teams? Bet you know who kicked all the points as well.

Just popped up Facebook. Awesomeness

Howdy all. Been a busy weekend/week. Also got a call for a job interview yesterday. Was talking to them this morning, they're looking for references so it's looking good. It has a weird shift where Wk. 1 I work 2 days on, 3 days off, two nights on, then Wk. 2 I work 2 days off, 3 nights on, 2 days off. Will take getting used to, but it could be a good 'un!! Fingers crossed. I just want to get back working proper again!!

And the tattooist rescheduled for Thursday week, so should have the sleeve finished then.

dinorebel · 19-06-2014 12:35pm

Off to Wildcat for 2 full sessions on the sleeve next week can't wait to see what Attila comes up with.

Hey all, how goes all?

All excited on your soon to be fatherhood Marty? Have to say I love the name Ayla. Can't see why people questioned it.

KB congrats on the job. Are you in spain now?

PKM fingers crossed you get the job.

GS, I used to work for PixiFoto. Sounds like your job can be just as bad as how they operated. Hope something new comes along for you.

January keep the head up. I had FIVE years of bad luck until things finally turned around for me this year. Just keep a firm hold of that silver lining xx

Think I got most of ye there

I'm LOVING life this year. Love my new job, cool neighbours, sound landlord and nice house. Everything else in life is a bonus

My best friend came home for a few weeks and got engaged

Eight years together, it was a matter of time. I'm a bridesmaid so that got me further excited. Bought a whole section of engagement pressies in the shop. First of my tight group of school friends to get engaged. EXCITEMENT!!

Planning a holuday to italy. I want to hit milan, pisa, venice, florence, rome, naplesand capri in two weeks. Nearly all the logistics done. Just need to book.

Oh and AWESOME suspension!

Star Lord · 19-06-2014 4:50pm

I can see this being Marty in the near future:

Ayla, you've got me on my knees.
Ayla, I'm begging, darling please.
Ayla, darling won't you please go back to sleep.

The Princess Bride · 19-06-2014 5:36pm

Hi all! I don't post in here too often,as I is very shy.You T&P folk seem chilled though.

Soaking up the sun down here,just wondering- what factor sunscreen do you use on tattoos?Have factor 40,but would hate my tattoos to fade.
Should I get higher? A zillion perhaps?

January · 19-06-2014 5:54pm

Apparently anything over 30 doesn't work (factor 50 for example is banned in Australia...)

Ms. Koi · 19-06-2014 10:11pm

Factor 50 doesn't work? I was having a bath in the stuff the last few days!

Spent the day out in my aunts today, had a lovely day altogether!

Factor 30 blocks out about 98% of the suns rays so anything over that apparently doesn't really make a difference.

That said I know someone who was prescribed factor 100 after she got sun stroke.

Thanks all for the congratulations. Delighted with my degree. I put a lot of work in but personal stuff caused some difficulty during the exams so I wasn't sure how it would go. I wasn't offered the job I was originally interviewed for which was a management position as they don't think I'm ready (and tbh I completely agree) but I'm just glad have gotten an offer in general.

And no Foxy not in Spain in York (although currently home to sort out my stuff) but there is the opportunity to spend some time in one of their Spanish branches which is a bonus. York itself is a beautiful city with a really nice vibe. It actually feels a bit like a big Galway. :P

McChubbin · 19-06-2014 11:03pm

I might be going on a date next Friday. Both nervous and excited.
What to wear, what to wear...

Penny Tration · 20-06-2014 2:59pm

House cleaned, gym done (I can bench 10 more kilos now!!), out with a friend and seeing himself later.

Have a brilliant roster for this week, so plenty of time off

Lockstep · 20-06-2014 8:53pm

Drove the motorbike from Galway to Portlaoise. Took the scenic route.

Yes: stunning scenery, adventure
No:bugs kamikaze-ing onto my visor. Potholes everywhere.

gregers85 · 21-06-2014 9:16am

Got a feckin wedding today, A friend of hers is getting hitched, I know absolutely no one that's gonna be at it, boring day ahead

Penny Tration · 21-06-2014 9:21am

Despite having a great roster, I'm dreading work today.

I made a GP appointment for one of my days off (Tuesday), then got a letter telling me I have a hospital appointment on Wednesday. Bye bye, days off!

Haha brilliant!

A few yrs ago one of the lads on the rugby team got married, I dont know how it came about but by the end of the night the whole team was pantless!! :rolleyes: still rocking the socks nd shoes just giving it welly in the jocks haha

McChubbin · 21-06-2014 3:30pm

I went to the doctor on Wesnsday and I've discovered I have a very rare but non-life threatening thyroid disorder.
I'm also severely anaemic which is not much of a shock TBH as I've had all the symptoms for a number of years. Even so, good that I finally know WTF is wrong with me. I've started taking iron supplements and I already feel the benefits- I wasn't as tired yesterday and stayed it to 1:30am which is bizarre as I normally feel shattered by 10pm.
Slept like a log too which was very nice.
All in all, nothing major to worry about. I'm just not looking forward to eating an influx of liver though maybe if I team it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF :pac:

Wedding dress shopping really takes it out of ya!

Oooh, that reminds me- I have about half a naggin of Captains left over from when I made my rum cake a few weeks ago. Don't have any Coke, though. I can't abide the stuff straight though. If you mix it with freshly squeezed orange juice it tastes like a Captain Quencher ice lolly!

Well.... if you don't want it to go to waste I'm sure I could find a good home for it. :rolleyes:

Orim · 21-06-2014 10:21pm

excellent talk tonight because I went for pints tonight. Having a vodka and lemon at the moment while I wait for some ribs to cook.

I have to get some work done with Charley Huurman. Everything he produces is whopper.

Lockstep · 22-06-2014 8:42am

Hungover as balls. Pray for Mojo.

Killer_banana · 22-06-2014 10:44am

P.K.M. · 22-06-2014 7:56pm

.....and I got that job I went for! YAY!!!

I start Monday week. Finally, after nearly two feckin years....I have a full-time job. It turns out I can keep the bouncer thing going in tandem. I'll have to skip once every third weekend but other than that, I'm grand. :cool:
