    I was in work today, having a bit of a crappy day, and all I wanted was a big hug. Anyone else think hugs are the best thing ever to make you feel better?

    YAY for group hugs!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭purplegeko


    I have been told i am useless at hugging - i never know how friendly you should be for a hug. I always kind of angle my body away from the person and just sort of hug the top half and then give a pat on the back. Maybe i just like my personal space.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    If I'm in the right mood I can be an exceptional hugger. The trouble is I'm rarely in that mood these days. Boo for grumpy Blush!

    the only thing that can nearly beat a good hug on a cold/wet day is a nice cup of tea.

    I freakin <3 hugs, great when hungover

    *hugs*

    yeh, I totally agree with you. My friend and I try to start our school day with a hug. It takes 2secs but makes 6th year that bit more bearable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭PrettyInPunk


    I had a **** day too, got soaked on my way to work and was miserable. Got picked up by my dad and he gave me a big hug and i felt so much better. hugs rock big time

    the converse of this is how unpleasant it is when someone you dislike tries to hug you. particularly if they have personal hygiene deficiencies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,000 ✭✭✭spinandscribble


    i'm beyond needing a hug these days. how long do you think it'll be before i won't miss them anymore? :)

    Ohh you can't make yourself immune to the hug longing.
    You just have to get the people aound you drunk and take your hugs where you can :D

    How about when someone puts a cup of tea on your desk, you turn around, and they hug you aswell. Ok, so it won't cure a fatal illness, but it'd give it a good go. Yay for hugs!

    haha if they are trying to hug me yes...

    although they also bring allergies:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,802 ✭✭✭beks101


    It took me five hours to get home from work today.

    I got attacked by a bunch of snowball-yielding scobes on the way, lost my way when searching for the luas stop (that'll teach me to try a different route in Wizard of Oz weather...), got soaked to the core, my umbrella got blown away and about 100 yards from my house, I fell on my ass right into a slushy, sub zero puddle. I actually cried with frustration.

    Oh, and my cold has now been upgraded to a flu.

    F*&k I need a hug :(:(:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,160 ✭✭✭✭banshee_bones


    oh my god thats awful! i hate days like that! you need a *hug* AND a drink!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭nevershutsup


    big hug to you beks...

    I love hugs I do.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Ah no way, id hate that. Not being able to cuddle my cat (I know:o but he so cute & fat & cuddly!) or be around the horses would drive me mad!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭nevershutsup


    im never totally fine but some dogs give me less severe reactions...

    i never been on a horse i dont know if i would react...

    cats flare it up well too easily...

    anyway hugs ftw...:D

    I is drunk!

    Hugs are awesome. My friends have finally started to get the hint that I like hugs and are extending the hugginess at the end of a night without being forced. Its great!

    i heard babies need 15 hugs a day to stay alive. 99.99999% sure thats BS but i'm thinking of creating a medical makey uppy name for this condition.
    a chronic case of hug deficiency isn't funny. i'm open to suggestions.

    OMG such a cute pic! Is that you?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    awwww! <3 this thread! haha, but yep, im kinda a huggy person. not all the time, but since moving to nz, none of the new mates ive made were huggers at all, you just wouldnt even think about trying it, and then mid december, was at a BBQ, met this bloke who i hit it off with (strictly as a mate, of course), he actually knew about this book i'd been slaving through reading, which, in my head, confirmed his awesome status straight away, but when i was leaving, i said bye, and he gave me a hug! that was really when i realised how much i missed hugging mates at times like that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,000 ✭✭✭spinandscribble


    is it just me or the bunny on the left looking kinda uncomfortable hugging the other bunny? maybe bunny a isn't so into bunny b. maybe bunny b smells. maybe bunny b isn't really a friend. maybe he's drunk. maybe i'm thinking too much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    i think it's cos bunny b has its eyes closed, and bunny a's eyes are wide open. kinda like surprise buttsecks wide open.

    maybe it was one of those hugs that kinda just came from nowhere... one minute you're just standing there, looking all cute n stuff, next minute out of nowhere, bunny b leaps on you and enforces hugs?

    yeah i can kinda see what you mean. especially the type of wide eye expression. but given the angle bunny b is at i'm still guessing bunny b smells bad. or maybe fell asleep while hugging bunny a.

    they need names.
    bunny a=alvin
    bunny b= ben


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,000 ✭✭✭spinandscribble


    or maybe these are mob bunnies. and this is one of those sneaky mob greetings, you know where the mob bunny boss ben smiles and then goes to hug mob bunny alvin and whispers "i have your bunny wife in my bunny truck, so don't pull anything bunny stupid at this bunny diner, out on this bunny lawn... bunny understood?".

    that would explain the expression perfectly.

    128781887351632756.jpg

    okay i'm done adding bunny to everything, but my point is a hug can mean many things. even for bunnies.

    the best hugs are from those who love us.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,420 ✭✭✭JaneyMc


    You can't tease me with all of this hug talk.

    I demand someone come hug me!!! Pm for address. :pac:

    If the panda in Agent Smith's picture is available, that would be my first choice.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    he's on tour


    nah, its not me, but i do want to go to see the panda's in china, where you can hold them and such.



    god pandas rock, dont they?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,420 ✭✭✭JaneyMc


    They really do!! That picture might have just confirmed that they are now in fact my favorite animal.

    That panda hug looks epic. Quick! To Dublin Zoo!
