    I *don't* own a copy, it was just resting in my account on my bookshelves.

    The actual owners are challengemaster and his (much) better half! :p

    I'm not sure whether they were just really really stuck for something to watch, or whether someone had told CM that someone in a film actually had the same hairstyle as him ... >_>




    I'll come back to Kojak's questions, I just wanted to clear that slur on my good name!!!

    how did you end up on boards?

    personally I think it's that you'd finished watching all the porn on the interweb:pac:

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Do you think LZ is adorable?

    Do you agree Koth is cute?

    Should we refer to Few as adorabubble?

    Favourite Samurai Pizza Cat?

    Can you lick your elbow with your tongue?

    Last gig you went to?

    Furthest you've walked?

    Would you rather be eaten alive by rats or ants?

    Or maybe



    ... though I can't say I've travelled each and every highway yet! :(

    Anyone know the Lotto numbers for tomorrow night? >_>

    No, but he could make a cocktail umbrella out of the chewing gum wrapper and the toothpick, and give me the smokes and not be wasting them, like!

    I was a lurker for years before I actually registered, I knew it was a bad idea! >.<

    When I registered first there were a few people thought I was a re-reg. because I remembered threads from years before! :D

    I remember originally hearing someone talking in Galway uni over coffee one day about this site John Breslin and a few others had started and how it seemed to be taking off; whether I went looking or whether someone linked me to it at some stage I can't remember (probably the second).

    Indubitably.

    Indisputably.

    Ineluctably.

    In fact, the three of them make a perfect picture ...

    In a day?

    Dingle - Ventry - Slea Head - Dún Chaoin - back by the Maum Clasach to Ventry - Dingle. About ... 21 / 22 miles I suppose?

    Or Galway - Dublin on a sponsored bedpush, but that took a week. Actually, when I think of it, we probably did higher daily mileage on that, we would have to have done, really.

    Answer the door straight out of the shower.

    Even when I haven't been taking a shower. ;)

    I'm really terrible at having favourites, but I'll go for Ian McKellan / Judi Dench, because they actually can act as opposed to trading on their looks as so many current so-called actors / actresses do.

    Well, lookee who wandered by! :p:D

    I haven't met many I didn't like, apart from the ultra-strong like stilton.

    At the moment there's an applewood smoked cheddar which I tend to pick up when I see it, can't remember the brand name though, and there's none left in the house. Very nice with good brown bread.

    Mmmm cheese....

    Will you come to a cheese factory with me?

    Will you come to a beers anytime soon so I can make you dance?

    Is there a song that never fails to bring a smile to your face?

    What's your favourite thing about living where you live?

    If money were no object, what kind of house would you live in and what sort of stuff would be in it?

    You're reasonably well travelled it seems, what's your best and worst memory of a trip (be it abroad or within Ireland)?

    Tayto or King?

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Daddy or chips?

    If that is indeed your true and earnest wish, trowelista, I shall certainly take it under advisement.

    You're not helping your case, you know!

    At least prior to this you were trying to woo me with promises of exotic cocktails! :p

    When we were in college, one of the lads in the house played guitar and was well able to sing. He was also about 6' 2", built like the rugby player he was. However, with just the right amount of pints in him, he could be induced to sing the following song in a falsetto voice with much over-dramatisation of expression and actions.



    Alternatively, adolescent that I am and shall probably always remain, this one tends to make me grin:



    And, indeed, on that front, Stephen Lynch can usually have me chuckling:



    Disclaimer: the latter two are NSFW and those blessed with especially delicate sensibilities.

    This, I know, does not include you, trowelled! ;)

    The fact that it's so central (when I'm actually there!).

    Oooh! Interesting one!

    Old. I love old houses with lots of character and history and nooks and crannies and twists and turns. Admittedly, they can be hard to heat, but if you get a well-built one they can surprise you. Plus you did say money was no object ...

    Stone. A stone house, stone outbuildings, preferably a big walled garden. Because you can bet your living daylights that there will be dogs (and probably cats and lord knows what other kind of animal rescued from somewhere!).

    Inside, wood, lots of wood and stone. Lots of books. A decent (Mac :p) computer. Enough bedrooms tucked away to have plenty of visitors. A kitchen which takes the absolute minimum of cleaning. An open fire in the living room at least.

    (Actually, can haz someone to clean it too?! :o)

    Best ... probably Crete. Went out with a big gang of mad archaeologists and assorted friends, did all the sites, endeavoured to drown the Minoan civilisation all over again at night*, excavated various people out of various bars at 6 in the morning, ended up being invited to a local wedding which went on for a week (well, it seemed to anyway, admittedly that may have been partly the results of the metaxa!) ... well, you get the picture ...

    Worst was a work one ... being stuck at Dublin airport for an 11 p.m. flight that eventually took off at 7 in the morning, being bundled into a car on arriving in -10 C. temperatures and driven for four hours, getting about an hour to sleep and then shower and off to talk to a lot of people who didn't speak English very well (and by that time neither did I!), and so it continued. For one reason or another it really didn't improve much for the three days. I was never more glad to get on a plane to come home!

    Why do they steralise needles of lethal injections?

    Why does Donald Duck wear a shirt but no pants?

    Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

    If all the world's a stage, where does the audience sit?

    Why is abbreviate such a long word?

    Why do they steralise needles of lethal injections?
    To avoid the risk of a zombie murderer infecting the general populace with an additional serious and contagious disease! :p


    Serious answers:

    In case a last-minute reprieve is granted (the needle is normally inserted well before the actual time).

    To avoid any danger to the medical staff administering the injection should they accidentally prick themselves.

    In any case, needles normally come in sterile packs.
    Why does Donald Duck wear a shirt but no pants?
    Why does Spoonie?!

    Is he *actually* Donald Duck?

    'Twould explain a lot of things!! :pac:



    (Oh, and ...

    Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
    They don't, really.

    "Fat chance!" is normally said sarcastically, and means that there isn't a snowball's chance in hell, i.e. none at all.

    "Slim chance" is normally meant to be taken more literally, meaning that there is indeed a slim chance, but that the chances aren't high.
    If all the world's a stage, where does the audience sit?
    It's participative theatre, the audience double up as actors and they're on stage as well.
    Why is abbreviate such a long word?
    The same reason a delivery by road is a shipment but a delivery by ship is a cargo ... the wonderful vagaries of the English language.

    In this case the relatively short Latin word for short (brevis) was doctored to make it an English verb ... but unlike when you get an animal doctored, something wasn't cut off, instead something was added.

    An OAP, generally.

    I'm allergic to (most) politicians.

    And OAPs can have a wealth of memories which in effect are an oral history of the last 7 to 10 decades. And some of them are hilarious. The great-aunt of a friend of mine spent her life doing "the right thing" ... raising her own kids, partly raising her nieces when their mum was ill for years, working part-time to keep things going, babysitting the grandchildren and grandnephews/nieces, etc. etc. Now she's over 80 and is finally rid of responsibilities, and has decided she doesn't give a fook what people think any more. She's a scream. She says exactly what she thinks, usually with razor-sharp wit (and she usually hits the nail uncomfortably on the head!); she has her little tipple (after spending most of her life on the dry); she goes to bingo and dancing and what have you 4-5 nights a week; and when her grandchildren chide her on her "wild" lifestyle, she reassures them perfectly seriously(!) that they need not worry, she's on the pill!! <3
