    I've always wanted to sit in the stands in Croke park with a remote controlled helicopter, and buzz all the culchies till I got bored, before landing it on the pitch.

    Just to see what would happen like.
    But I tell you my ideal day (within reason)
    *Wake up, and its bright and dry
    *Bus, clean and empty comes on time, and then doesn't pick anyone else up till it gets into town
    *Get off at O'Connell St. and theres an empty No. 7 waiting for me.
    *Get into work, and email is down (except personal email) so can't do any work
    * Stroll over to get a coffee, buy a scratchie and win €25 (hey, I did say within reason)
    *Go to wagamammas for lunch, get undercharged, have Chicken Katso Curry, Fried Gyozas and two Fruit juice for a fiver
    *Get loads of free stuff, that I can actually use, in Grafton St.
    *Loads of nice girls sunbathing in Stephens Green on the way back to work
    *Get back to work, and the power is gone. Everyone is sent home, in a taxi.
    *Three new simpsons episodes on back-to-back
    *Lights out with the missus.

    So far, only one or two of them have ever happened. [cough cough the last one happens all the time, right? ]

    Caimin would it not be better to just get a call 5 mins before your alarm goes off to say that the leccy is gone and you don't have to go into work at all .....you would save yourself at least 8 hours of messing about before you got to bed with the missus ....maybe thats too long for you !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    yeah Smurfette, I considered that, but if I spent the day asleep, I wouldn't win my money, get my cheap lunch or get the benefit of going home early ;)

    Okay lets think about this ....you get up have a shower etc ..money on gas.
    You get the bus and unless your over 65 and have a buss pass you gonna pay 2-3 euro if you include the number 7 bus they you have to buy your lotto ticket whats that 2-3 euro your lunch 5 euro so your racking up 11-12 euro so you will make a profit of 13 euro .......is 13 euro really worth having to get outta bed for

    Sadly, yes :)

    And it works out like this, tho:
    The gas comes on whether I get out of bed or not. And I already have a bus pass, so the more I use it, the cheaper it gets. So at the time I get into work, I've spent nothing. Then the coffee and the scratchy = 3.25, but I win 25, so I'm up 21.75 Take away a fiver for lunch (about a 20 value) and I'm up 16.75 Plus loads of free stuff, plus free taxi home (which I wouldn't have had if I'd stayed at home - I know thats twisted logic, but its logic!).

    Obviously my ultimate ideal day wouldn't involve buses and work and stuff, but I want a day I at least have a shot of living!

    Exotic pole dancers in the office... certainly be different:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 Smurfette


    I can't help but notice that Caimin's and Hedge trimmers "Things that would make your day " include going to the office .
    Maybe i'm in the minority when feeling like i want to scream when the alarm goes off at 7 am every morning .But surely HedgeTrimmer could wake up to a pack of lap dancers doin their thang around his bed posts and caimin could have a tooth fairy leave a stack of scratchies beside his bed and gain his €25.00 .
    No matter what my ideal day would not entail going ot the office :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭TacT


    If I...

    didn't have to worry about any bill
    didn't have to go to the office to do any work
    didn't have to get out of bed
    didn't have to worry about money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    I'd really rather like to get a job offer.

    Failing that, a hug from someone who liked me.

    I am not counting on either today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    AWWWWWWWWWWW.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,718 ✭✭✭whosurpaddy

    Good point Smurfette (I remember a "smurfette from games cons, but couldn't be the same).

    I could probably convince some of my friends to do a pole dance in the bedroom, but I think in the office, it would place a broader..um..smile on my face...contextual humour and all that, I guess :D

    Now, on the other hand, if you're offering.....;)

    if i found any note of money on the ground, that always makes me happy throughout school....... €5 or more would do :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭Peace


    1) College hand me a degree and say i don't have to wait until after the exams.
    2) Job offer for a job 50k+
    3) New job people tell me to take a break, up to a year, paid.
    4) I go buy a rebreather and dive the deepest wrecks around the world.(i know this cannot be done in one day)
    5) Finish off with the worlds deepest dive record.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 191 ✭✭Billy Turdhed


    Caimin ... I dont like that Croke Park scenario.... Ill bet your Dad is a culchie!


    Billy's big five:

    1. Wake up with a diamond cutter on and Mrs T(Bertha)gaggin for it

    2. Green Bay Packers to have won on Sunday in overtime with a 59 yard field goal with 4 secs left in OT

    3. A game of golf lined up in Druids Glen and Billy shoots 4 under ..takes the money

    4 Mrs T looks for a divorce and Billy has Grainne Seoighe all lined up.


    5 A big feed of bacon ribs ..fresh turnip and two or three Roosters in hot butter
    followed by Mullerice strawberry and a very cold Bavaria green 5%
    and into the cot for a few hours



    Simple tastes


    WOT

    Now, on the other hand, if you're offering.....

    Thanks for the offer but gyrating next to an excited hedgetrimmer sounds a little on the dangerous side to me :D

    not waking up!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,446 ✭✭✭Havelock


    Options: Reality or Fiction?

    Reality:
    A good nights sleep, pleasent dreams and remembering them the next morning.
    Waking up without this flu.
    Not having to get up until after 9am. (usally up at 6)
    It to be warm and sunny outside.
    To get a lift into town listening to Lyric.fm
    To be given Ice-cream on Grafton St (has happened, got 3 Tubs of Haagan Dazz one day)
    Listen to a good classical music being played on Graton St.
    Go up to Stephens Green to read a good book, maybe the new Terry Pratchett.
    Get smiled at by the young women sunning themselves.
    For there to be no drunks or drug addicts asleep in Joyce Remembrence Garden
    To sit there and watch the day go by, take some good photos of the ducks and geese, maybe chat to a few tourists and friends.
    As the sun sets go down to Joy of Coffee for a few pots of tea and chat with interesting people.
    Go see a good movie in the IFC (or whatever they have taken to calling it now) with a nice girl who will understand and enjoy it, and can talk about it afterwards over dinner, somewhere like Le Cave.
    Go for a late evening walk in Iveagh Gardens (ok, fantasy that it would still be open) or somewhere nice.
    A meaningful sudden first kiss (her kissing me)
    Watching her fall asleep in bed, afterwards, in my arms
    Waking up with her asleep and content in my arms.
    Gently waking her with a kiss.

    The world would be a better place if it where like that.

    What would make my day!? Well, I suppose a glass of water would be a start. Maybe if they loosened the ropes at my ankles. Ideally, what would make my day would be for the Police to kick down the door and find me and bring me home to my wife and kids, if they're still were I left them. I could live with the cuffs though, you'd be suprised how quickly you adapt to typing with handcuffs. But if I had to pick one thing, just one thing, It would be for them to stop twisting my nipples, for 10 minutes please stop twisting them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 300 ✭✭neoB


    For Britney spears to be ran over.. oh wait, won't happen. *sighs*
    For me to walk into a candy store and the sales people would say "congrats your our millionth consumer! free candy forever!"
    Get rid of all my allergies.
    Complete college in the next month.
    To turn Mordeth into a piggie so I can keep him as a pet. :D (as if right?
    :rolleyes: )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,233 ✭✭✭Dont Ban Me


    To win the lotto, be told that I am so great that the college is going to give me my degree and an honorary Doctorate, and then go on to develop a solution that once taken will result in a stress free life FOEVER!! All before lunch!!

    That would be nice!
