    Like I said before, I'm bored, so I hauled a shrub out of a huge pot, dug a big hole and planted the shrub in it. Made me feel like a man and not a jellyfish sitting in front of a PC. Put up some shelves and changed a wheel last week too. So, what physical stuff have you done lately that made you feel better?*

    *Muggings, gangland violence, bestiality, vigilantism and Harney tipping don't count.

    Why doesnt Harney tipping count? Now I DO feel like a jellyfish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    I too like bush planting.

    Putting together Ikea furniture is about the pinnacle of my manliness.

    Joined a Gym (they call if a Country Club but it doesn't have a golf course so I am not sure where they got that idea).

    Swimming a mile everyday.
    Using the gym.
    I hiked up five levels of stairs to see the Chicago Blackhawks defeat the Philadelphia Flyers in Games One and Two of the Stanley Cup Finals.

    Well done sir. You managed to shoe-horn a "Harneyism" into this thread. You can go back to bed now.

    Maybe they're trying to keep black people out of it?

    We'll I've never done anything like that and reckon I never will, the whole fixing/making things aint my cup of tea!. Although I came very close to fixing my first bike puncture last week, got half way through it and just got bored...went back out to finish it but my sister had already fixed it for me :)

    No you lose. That was yesterday. Well the first post says lately so I guess you win even though it is not that physical.

    i participated in some chess boxing,

    I whipped on my AC/DC muscle vest & removed & washed all the costumes of my hugely gossiped about jumbo antique doll collection today.

    Im ironing them now. Tough work, there must be almost 200 of em.

    All nice & clean for another few days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    I'm not even going to ask what Biggins has done recently. I get the impression he wrestles crocodiles and grizzly bears for a living.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 353 ✭✭molloyjazz


    I took apart one of my beloved PC's.. now im in the process of boxing and labeling some of the components im hoping to sell to finance my big move to the UK in search of work, regardless of what happens at 12.00 noon on Wednesday, 9th June 2010.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker
