    Goat sacrifice. Nothing like sitting around watchin a flick bathed in goats blood.

    Are there any you would recommend in particular?

    put the feet up, fill myself a glass of 18 year old Jamesons and catch up on my american dramas (dexter, heroes, lost, CSI... etc)

    When I'm stressed I like to be alone. Listening to music is nice too.

    Smoke some crack with my homies...

    Either that or get stuck into a great game (Mario Galaxy being the perfect example), start watching a new anime series or occasionally fire up my decks and have a quick mix...

    Listening to music is the big one. Nothing better than sticking on a few chilled out choons.While listening to said music I like to -

    Play some Pro Evo on the Playstation
    Browse the web/boards
    Play some guitar
    Cook

    Judo relieves me of alot of my stresses, except when I get injured, then I stress :(

    Other than that, I like to cook, play with the kids & take my dog for a walk/play.

    I love taking a walk on Portmarnock beach, or Howth harbour. Esp on Sundays when the market is open on the harbour and I can sample lots of foods from lots of countries.

    Another great one for me so sitting at the bar, news paper open and a fresh Carlsberg in front of me :D

    Kids films mainly, jungle book, lion king, they need to be short or else the blood goes cold, which just ruins the fun

    Lying on my bed watching a dvd on my 32" flatscreen tv and surround sound, while eating Ben and Jerry's ice cream.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭lezizi


    I put on a bit of Pearl Jam on the Ipod, a big mug o tea and a nice spliff, can't be beaten


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 125 ✭✭davejones


    Drinking Beer/spirits helps me to relax.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    Stress relief for me:
    Sit down on couch in front of TV with big tub of ice-cream
    Smoking
    Playing computer games
    Having a wa*k :D
    Browse internet
    Oh and sitting in a bar drinking a pint with m8s

    Yea that makes no sense.

    Question: How do you chill out and relax?
    Answer: Yore ma.

    :confused:

    Couldn't you of least made the effort and said

    fúcking/screwing/lamping 'yore ma' out of it.


    Please try harder.

    Thought the question was "what do you do to chill out". My bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 459 ✭✭csk


    Having a few scoops while watching some match or other, playing guitar and listening to music, playing sport of any kind.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭kelle


    When my 1-year-old toddler is asleep, I can chill out then! That's when I go and switch on my PC and log onto Boards!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭Nunu


    Go out to the garage get the tunes going and hit the punchbag for half an hour...absolute bliss, probably keeps me sane:D

    On a clear night star gaze with someone else and a cup of hot chocolate or a few bottles of Miller...some of the stuff you end up talking about is unreal...very therapeutic.

    And like most people there's nothing better than chilling out watching a DVD. I prefer to watch most films alone, especially if I've never seen it before.... but the crack you can have watching 'One flew Over the Cuckoos Nest' with a group of mates is fantastic!

    Draw, write, listen to music all chill me out. The most relaxing thing in the whole world for me is waking up in my boyfriends bed in teh morning. That bed is so cosy it must be cursed. We're constantly late for stuff cos we always say "five more minutes..."


  • Registered Users Posts: 890 ✭✭✭l3LoWnA


    • Long drives (on my own, on a nice day, with stereo playing whatever music I feel like) in the countryside or anywhere, with no particular destination - I just love driving.
    • Boards or Internet in general.
    • Hot Bubbly scented bath with room only lit by candles.
    • Huge open fire & a book/magazine/dvd
    • Orgasm

    Is that a euphenism for something else?

    You know, like the "skin flute" ?
