Why not give it a shot? Get a 10am bus and arrive at 2.25pm. Meet some interesting people and enjoy the food and drinks. I'm sure someone can suggest somewhere to stay for the night? Can't offer myself cause am living with my mother and our visiting foreign students :rolleyes:

Well, you and electro~bitch could meet for coffee, wherever you choose in Cork and see that your equally not crazed loons and decide that you two could take us on in Dublin. The more the merrier!! There must be a plan If you don't know anyone in Dublin whom you could stay with then I'm sure we could figure something out. Unless you both turn out to be maniacs Plus, seeing as you'd both have to travel further we'd owe you some drinks

This is sounding so terribly, terribly tempting, I really can't though, serious money issues (well just the one, I have no money. I mean that very literally, unemployment and being banned from the dole will do that to you

), maybe the next one though, after the government starts giving me money again

I could buy you a drink or some govindas?? And you can bring the other corkian for company on the bus, oh so tempting? hehe

I've accompaned many a shy person on the train or bus or meeting them before hand(some thought I was a girl until they met me

), it helps to have comapny if you both go anyway.

I just realised it's on the 25th, the day of my cousin's wedding. Just when i started considering it:(

Blocks, if it's the 25th I deffo can't I'll be in Kerry scabbing off rich relatives

I promise I'll go to the next one though

sweet-rasmus · 19-07-2009 8:37pm

Aw well! Next time

raah! · 19-07-2009 9:34pm

Oohr, If someone organised a bus from cork it would be fantastic. I was in dublin recently for the first time in a while and went to govinda's for the first time ever. Grand laugh it was

Tar.Aldarion · 19-07-2009 9:47pm

Well if you are not happy coming up on your own, you censorsh!t and electro~bitch could try and get the same bus for the next one. Oh well, they can't go but I tried my temptingly best

raah! · 19-07-2009 9:50pm

Ah, maybe I'll go on my own anyway, it would be a nice experience, to travel all the way to dublin to meet some almost-strangers. I'll go look at the thread.

I just accidentally killed a fly and now I feel bad

I didn't think I'd hit it!

raah! · 20-07-2009 1:43am

Heh, I've only recently gained the control to not deliberately murder the buzzing ****s. I've rarely felt as much hatred for anything else as I have for a buzzing fly in my room at night.

Mishaps like that though, happen quite often when I'm trying to save a spider by putting him outside, and he crawls on my hand, and I get a fright and drop him to his death....

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 20-07-2009 1:53am

I always swat at them, but I never think I'll actually hit them. I always feel terrible whenever I do (I'm such a hippie at heart)

Tar.Aldarion · 20-07-2009 2:00am

Ah, I'm not bothered by my little friends. They are so cool! Frequently it is my duty to remove them from a room to save the day. I think it's funny to pick up a spider a few millimetres big and they think I'm a hero. :pac:

Unfortunate about the fly, I am always quite careful with little things, but I'm sure everybody kills them by accident.

raah! · 20-07-2009 2:15am

While we're killing things by accident, on some site , one of those random fact clicky ones, it says the average person eats up to 8 spiders in their sleep.

I can't imagine there's any basis for this... how would they conduct a study?

http://www.eightspiders.com/2008/08/why-eight-spiders.html
Who knows? :pac:
Anyway, i think it's just a myth.

Anyway, there is s small possibility you will eat a bug while you sleep, or even awake, it's why I wear a mask at all times.

raah! · 20-07-2009 2:36am

Good stuff, here's another question... one which perhaps I should be embarassed about. But anyway, I made a facebook page at the insistence of my foreign friends, to keep in contact, and I'm not much good with computers etc, apart from wasting my life on them playing games, but I never gained much literacy etc

Anyway, how do you put a video on your facebook page? I have the embed code, but when I type it in it just Gives

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TRQ2WwiMndY&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TRQ2WwiMndY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Tar.Aldarion · 20-07-2009 2:41am

I don't think facebook allows the <embed> tags directly so you have to get a HTML plug in, I'll have a look.

Tar.Aldarion · 20-07-2009 2:45am

Here is an easy way, you want that weird muscy youtube video on your profile, you can search in facebook search for 'youtube app'. Pick one like youtube box and then it will show up on your profile

raah! · 20-07-2009 2:45am

Oooh, no need I'll download an application or something maybe, I realise it was a bit silly to ask here. I was delerious with a desire to post this song on there and show everyone how totally cool I am.

This is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRQ2WwiMndY&feature=PlayList&p=082A984454867AB8&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=2

They use stone xialaphones. I know that's not the spelling. For relevence I know that that jonsi fellow is a vegetarian.

Yes, the application i mention will work with your embed code.

No problem asking anything here.

raah! · 20-07-2009 2:51am

I was able to post a link in the end anyway. G'night 'tarians!.

Tar.Aldarion · 20-07-2009 2:56am

Night vege'tar'ian, yes you are all in my power. :eek:

Crumble Froo · 20-07-2009 3:01am

'lo lads and ladies...

anyone here want to design some bagstuffers for me?

/unmotivated

Tar.Aldarion · 20-07-2009 3:02am

Bagstuffers? Is this wimmin talk? I'm the only one around hiho

Crumble Froo · 20-07-2009 3:07am

nah, not wimmin talk, just tiny cards that'll likely get stuffed in peoples' bags... wallet sorta sized cards.

bah, my computer doesnt have anything i can really use for it (ie, publisher, fonts) and we've volunteers in today, so no getting at the computer in there either.

still... maybe if we dont advertise,t hen i wont have to do my workshop...

Tar.Aldarion · 20-07-2009 3:12am

You mean you want to make wallet sized cards in photoshop or something?
I know all about...

...not being able to do that.

Crumble Froo · 20-07-2009 3:20am

ha, more like wordart stuff really... i cant use and dont have photoshop. ms paint and word are all this computer has, and the other one has publisher which is just nice for making things of unusual sizes.

meanwhile... got new jewellery for my septum and i just smell rubber all the time now

Tar.Aldarion · 20-07-2009 3:23am

I've jus thad this done:

Feel your pain!

How long does the smell last, is it easy to get an infection there? Dunno anything about piercings, that's more my brothers topic with their bling.
