    You can make a ginger infusion: shave off a few pieces of ginger, steep in boiling water for a couple of minutes, sweeten if you want. It's great for sore throats =] (and headaches, migraines and menstrual pain)
    Though in my opinion it's nicer if you put the ginger in some camomile tea.

    Hmmm choosing cities/countries for interrailing is so much harder than expected

    At least you seem to be following through with it, we chose and never went!

    Well my original plan was to do the Camino de Santiago. Not sure how I ended up planning to go interrailing tbh.

    Where did you's want to go?

    I had planned to do the northern Europe one before, didn't happen, was a little ambitious money-wise. How long you planning to go for anothernight?

    I guess it's just a better program like!

    Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:\>I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and install Tears 6.2.

    :pac:

    But as opposed to the gf-wife one doh!

    I don't really do games :eek: apart from some lame snes ones. I managed to avoid all manner of games consoles my entire life, I'm very non nerdy like that.

    Ah yeah I know. Oh there are reasons that one is longer! *whistles*

    Such a norm! Haven't played since mario days eh, missing out. Not even guitar hero?! I'm a bit too into games I figured today when my friends were talking about the french team players(football, couldn't care less) being done for prostitution, my first thought was the national french gaming team in a game I play :o

    haha! Ah I'm not opposed to them, just never had stuff like that growing up, I used a barrel and a plank of wood for a seesaw for christs sakes :pac:
    And now I just couldn't be bothered, it's like when you listen to some artist with a huge back catalogue for the first time and you think ugh couldn't be bothered. Do you not just find it hugely stressful? Off outside with ye.

    Working all summer while living with parents ftw :) I knew it'd be worth it eventually lol
    We're planning on going for 2 weeks, though I'd very much prefer 3 but I'm not sure if my friends can do it. We absolutely must go to Amsterdam and Berlin, the first because I'm meeting someone there, and the second because my friend says so, pretty much.

    Since both of my friends are actually from Madrid, I'm not even sure yet where I'll be landing first!

    Sure I am from sligo countryside, a barrel and plank see saw were the biz! We also made a tennis court out of similar things in our garden. Those were the times. No phones or internet for us heh.
    Ah but gamescan jsut be standalone fun, well maybe you might be tempted if you really like it, I am certainly lazy with new music though.

    Me want amsterdam and berlin, I can't afford to go :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    I'd ask you to come over if you could. Or anyone here for that matter.
    In the end I'm taking a flight to Madrid, then a few days later another to Paris. Then apparently Bruges, Amsterdam, Berlin, something in the middle, Krakow and back to Dublin.
    Ugh really need a proper night out though >_<


    Haha it's funny being younger than both of you guys. I grew up with videogames and computers. Super Mario on SNES ftw ^^

    A very good friend of mine is doing the inter-railing thing this summer too, she would LOOOOOVE to tour India but is gonna do Italy, Spain, France, and somewhere else before stopping off in Wales to see a mutual friend before coming home:)



    Oh I grew up up playing computer games too! Mostly NES, then Sega all the way to Playstations :P

    Sonic ftw!:)

    We had to have been the last people to get a phone but there was a phone box down the road and this was the middle of nowhere, weird.
    When people say well what did we all do before mobile phones, I say wait hours in agony wondering when a certain family member is gona turn up to the car with the car keys :mad:

    Which is why I mentioned computers (real, modern computers like... Steve Wozniak might be one of those people I really want to meet, but the Apple II is barely a computer by today's standards). Was gonna mention the internet but I'm old enough to not have grown up with it >_<

    The real test is: do you remember the world without The Simpsons? If you do, you're old. Sorry :P


    *sigh* I don't wanna get too old to slag older people. We should grow younger or something *musing on how birthdays suck*

    "The Woz" :p
    Hey I didn't know about this; http://www.google.com/mac/
    .......which made me look for this; http://www.google.com/linux that's handy!

    I definitely don't remember a time without the Simpsons ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    Yeah I was gonna call him The Woz but then realised how nerdy I must sound saying that so I decided against. And yes, I'm using Chrome for Mac =]

    Hehe congratulations, you're part of the select club of young people then ^^
