Work entails long hours at certain times of the year; also a fair bit of travelling.

Emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...
1. I have an incorrect number of toenails as a result of a botched operation.
2. I have never owned a Transformer model, read a Transformer comic or seen a Transformer movie.
3. I have no overwhelming desire to do any of the above.

Three possibilities:girl_friday wrote: »3. Is there a reason you don't seem to have posted a pic of yourself up on Boards?
(a) I like the fact that I can relax and fool around without feeling that anyone from work etc. who happens across boards can identify me and follow every bad joke I make.
(b) I'm a fugly baxtard.
(c) a little from column A, a little from column B.
You decide! :P

Describe yourself in five words, or less.
If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? (without being crude!)

I was an occasional lurker for years before I actually registered (I knew damn well I'd get addicted!)girl_friday wrote: »Boards related stuff:
How did you first come across boards?
I'm not sure how I first fell across it tbh ... I remember hearing casual scuttlebutt around Galway uni about this site John Breslin (based there) and others had going, and how it seemed to be taking off; whether someone pointed it out to me or whether I actually found it on a random search I can't remember.
Around November, I think?girl_friday wrote: »And when did you first become a mod?
The atmosphere, the people, the friendliness, the fact that they don't take themselves or each other too seriously ...girl_friday wrote: »What's your favourite thing about this forum?
Not a lot, really.girl_friday wrote: »And is there anything you'd like to change about it?
It tends to still revolve a fair bit around the chat thread, and while I don't see that as a major problem, I'm always glad to see other activities / threads going strong ... keeps a better balance.
Not a damn thing.girl_friday wrote: »What do you have against Transformers? :eek:
I just never had anything to do with them; I think the first time someone was on about them here, I went "whut?!"
Em ... old age, I suppose, falling apart physically, esp. blindness, as it was something I was threatened with at a fairly young age. Luckily, my body decided to pull itself together and my sight more or less stopped deteriorating naturally.girl_friday wrote: »What's your biggest fear?

I have a couple of gin redhead friends who I'm always slagging, but the truth is I wouldn't see the colour of someone's hair as being in any way relevant, and even on a physical / subconscious level it doesn't seem to make the slightest difference to me; Junior salutes them all!
And you'd love some rhubarb tart to top it all off, right? :pac:Bacon and (homegrown) cabbage and potatoes, with a good dash of butter and a pint of cold milk, on a hot summer's day

Gracias, querida!Oh yay your noclight makes for an interesting and funny read Randy
You seem like a nice guy .............i can tell by these things :pac:
Yo no creo en tomar la vida demasiado en serio, ya que puede haber supuesto!
Books. Always books. I didn't just read them, I all but ate them!! :rolleyes:So my questions
What was you favourite santa pressie as a kid?
Yes, but I wouldn't eat a whole one ... >_>Do you like kid's?
Sorry, couldn't resist!
Generally yes, but I prefer them as they get older and can talk to / argue with me! :pac:
I was a youth worker for several years, so I'm well used to hordes of teenagers around me. I enjoy them at that age I have to say; they would drive you cuckoo at times, but they're also full of life and energy and mischief, and keep you young!
Travel writer, possibly. Certainly I love travelling and seeing new places, and I tend to write a bit from time to time anyway ... or I did when I had the time. To be paid for doing both would be pretty ideal ...If you dont already have it, what's your dream job?
/resists bad jokeCan you play any instruments?
Not a one, I'm afraid.
Oh, I'd love to be able to play any instrument, and preferably several.If not are there any you would like to learn?
Unfortunately, I'm the musical dunce in a musical (extended) family, and having tried out a few to little avail gave up on it years ago.0 -
Probably, though not deliberately. Yes, there is, and it varies depending on context. My sense of humour can be a bit ... earthy, but it's intended to make people grin, not offend them.grames_bond wrote: »1) have you ever taken an innuendo too far, or do you think there is such a thing?
Of course, you will meet a small number of people who are very easily offended by anything, look for something to be offended about in fact ... such people are best avoided.
In general, someone who might be offended.grames_bond wrote: »3) Is there ever a person you would not make a dirty innuendo to? and why?
As I often say on Boards in other circumstances "it's all about context!" Much of life is, really.
I was waiting for that one!grames_bond wrote: »2) You mentioned steak earlier: how SHOULD it be cooked (burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell?)
Medium rare, so I guess that's "bloody as hell".
Big question.grames_bond wrote: »4) do you believe in the after life etc?
Believe? I'm not sure if I absolutely believe.
Do I have a strong suspicion that we don't just suddenly stop like a worn-out toy, and that's it ...
Put it this way, I find it difficult to believe that the universe could be that wasteful.0 -

tl;dr = "Too long; didn't read!"Aisling(",) wrote: »1.what does tldr mean?
In general, it implies that someone has become intoxicated with the exuberance of their own verbosity ... >_>
Yes, but I prefer dogs, generally speaking anyway ... the personality of the individual animal is important though.Aisling(",) wrote: »2.Do you like cats?
I like animals in general, really.
Because I went looking for it last night to link it above, "Jizz in my Pants".Aisling(",) wrote: »whats the song thats stuck in your head at the moment?
Noice! >.<
Anything open air, in good weather, lively, good atmosphere / company.Aisling(",) wrote: »favourite concert?
I'm really bad for having "favourites" as such, in anything really.
Depends on mood, really. Probably crisps overall.Aisling(",) wrote: »crisps of choclate?
They wouldn't be top of my list musically, but I'm not a musical-hater.Aisling(",) wrote: »do you like musicals?
I've been in a few ... I went to a secondary school with a really strong musical emphasis, both on the curricular and the extra-curricular side. It was also co-ed, but with roughly a 2:1 female:male ratio (which had lots of advantages!) They were always a bit less fluirseach for lads as a result, and while I couldn't sing for nuts, I had a carrying voice and could kind of act, so I tended to get conscripted for non-singing parts. I have to say they were always great fun to be in, anyway.
I would tend to prefer the older ones rather than the Andrew Lloyd-Webber et al generation. There's a wonderfully funny old romp which charts (comedically) the life of Percy French, for example, and contains a lot of his songs, but it's hardly ever staged any more ... think it might be called These Golden Years or something like that. And there are some wonderful old songs; this is a personal favourite (and it might hopefully drive that other yoke out of my head! :pac:)
Lord yes, loads of them, how could you avoid him?!Aisling(",) wrote: »Have you ever seen any film with al pacino in it?
Old enough to know better, young enough not to care! :PAisling(",) wrote: »How old are you?
Not especially. Medium height, I suppose.Aisling(",) wrote: »are you tall?
Not especially well. I generally won't speak it, in fact, though I understand it reasonably well if people don't go like racehorses!Aisling(",) wrote: »Can you speak irish?
Hopeless.Aisling(",) wrote: »Able to dance?
Yes, kind of. There's nothing nasty about it, though!Aisling(",) wrote: »Ever get caught doing the nasty?
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!11!!11!Aisling(",) wrote: »Do i ask a lot of questions?
Yes, quite a lot as a teenager actually. The family of a friend of mine had a small riding stables, and we would spend a fair bit of time on horseback, mooching around the land, doing bits of jobs or checking on stock. I never learned to ride for competition though, that never interested me. I just loved the horses, and it was the handiest way to get around a well-scattered hilly / woody farm.Aisling(",) wrote: »ever go horse riding?
any holiday with good friends, really. Geographically, probably the Greek Islands, as mentioned above.Aisling(",) wrote: »Favourite holiday?
The whole damn world!!Aisling(",) wrote: »Where do you want to see before you die?
Not a big tv fan, and when I do watch it, it tends to be for purposes of escapism / turning off the brain, so ... probably Eureka at the moment.Aisling(",) wrote: »Favourite tv show?
Yep. I did many daft things in my time, especially in college ... probably at least partly the result of sharing a house with a gang of completely lunatic med students.Aisling(",) wrote: »Ever dress up as a girl?
Have been known to (see previous question). Haven't in a few years though.Aisling(",) wrote: »Do you dress up for holloween?
Yes.Aisling(",) wrote: »Have you got a tv licnese?
Yes.Aisling(",) wrote: »Do you vote?
History.Aisling(",) wrote: »Favourite school subject?
I don't any more, it used to kill my eyes.Aisling(",) wrote: »What kinda car do you drive?
Yes.Aisling(",) wrote: »Ever go skinny dipping?
Yes. My mother; a good friend who died of leukaemia when she was 20; another who died a couple of years later from an aneurism. Friends who have scattered around the world. It's life, little one; the older you get, the more people will disappear.Aisling(",) wrote: »Do you miss anyone?0 -

Lol, no way am I answering that on a public forum ... or perhaps off it either!What is the randiest thing you've ever done ? Spare no details. Alone time randy doesn't count.
The 5th amendment may not apply in Ireland, but I'm claiming it anyway.
Though an incident at a certain concert when I was 17 springs to mind for just plain out-of-control hormones ... those who know that story can STFU, please!
No, he worships me.Do you worship Foghorn Leghorn as your Personal Jesushorn?

Eva Mendes.Eva Mendes or Keira Knightley ?

Lots of things, when I let them.What annoys Randy about society?
Intolerance, for a start. Intolerance of any sort, be it racism, sexism, homophobia (which really should be called "homism" or some such btw, homophobia is something else again from the rampant bigotry that gets lumped in under that name and gilded by the excuse of a "phobia"), whatever "ism" you're having yourself really.
Politics and politicians, and their cronies. 'Nuff said.
The treatment of the so-called "third world" by the "first world". It's not the third world, it's the same fecking world we all live in, ffs! Overt political colonialism may have to a great extent disappeared, but commercial colonialism still survives and thrives, and political colonialism has to a great extent been replaced with political clientelism ... which is much the same thing, just not as obvious and therefore harder to resist. The ex-colonial powers and the current superpowers have raped and continue to rape the resources of these countries; they are prepared in many cases to support corrupt puppet governments who are perfectly happy to prolong ignorance and hunger in their countries provided they can live the life of Reilly and stash away a nice retirement fund in Zurich; and the commercial powers are happy to wring their hands in public about hunger and lack of education and so on while in many cases backing up such regimes in private by money and sometimes worse, simply because they're afraid that any replacement regime might stop the big corporations from sucking the live out of these countries and growing fat on the profits.
Ok, I'll stop there before I go on a total rant!! I knew someone would press the button ... >_>
Not nec. the most violent, but I think something that shocked me was seeing a bunch of lads in a country town lined up on the wall outside a nightclub, just waiting for the first few non-locals to appear out so they could taunt them and pick a fight ... which they did, quite successfully. No-one got badly injured or anything ... it was just the sheer emptiness of the lives of people who would do that, and their bloodymindedness, which shocked me.What's the worst thing you've witnessed happening on a night out (not necessarily personal, more like chaos)?The world is facing the apocalypse, pick a team of five to save the world.
The people, to both questions I guess.What are the best and worst thing about boards in your opinion?
The best is the friendliness, the willingness to help, the good humour ... and there's a lot of that, in fairness, it's what makes this site good.
On the other hand, you get the trolls, the spammers, the people who just like to annoy or are just out for what they can get ... or probably worst of all, when regular members get their knickers in a twist over nothing and all hell breaks loose.0 -
