Lotto is a tax for people with poor maths skills.

Mum buys the lotto on occasion, she goes a few weeks without it and then buys it a few weeks in a row, she got a wonderful €25 back off it there a few weeks back, not much off the few grand shes put in it! She doesn't even check her tickets until a few days later either, some people :P .
But yeah better spending the 4 quid on a few cans, or something

That line starts at 4 for me, without going crazy I think it's the number that would see me out.

OK, Lotto, if you win it, is a chance to get the hell out of Limerick, that's some incentive alright.

Hugs Are Falsely Intimate Power Plays. Stop Imposing Them on Everyone You Meet.

I never really learned how to hug. Whenever a friend, extended family member, or celebrity interview subject approaches me for the first or the 100th time, the panic sets in. Are we hugging here? Oh, we are? So my arms are going over—OK, under. One over, one under? Or is this an open-faced, one-arm-clutching-the-opposite-shoulder situation? Should our torsos graze? Is that weird? Where is your mouth—are you making a legitimate attempt to kiss my cheek right now, or are we doing one of those pretend ones? Dear God there’s no time: I have anchored my ass a foot away from your body, flattened my face into your clavicle, and am now waving my rag-doll arms limply from between your armpits. Great to see you!



In theory, a hug sounds nice. In practice, it can turn even the simplest hello into a logistical nightmare. But the most pernicious aspect of the act is the false sense of intimacy it imposes over all human relationships, from the most superficial acquaintances to the deepest friendships. It doesn’t matter if we love each other, hate each other, or don’t know each other at all—we’re all expected to awkwardly collide at the same rate, reducing a potentially intimate act into a rote affectation.



I am not an automaton. I can appreciate the experience of physical and emotional communion—on occasion. There are some bodies—boyfriends, parents, domesticated lions I’ve reintroduced into the wild—with which I will gladly entangle for a two-second count upon greeting.

It is time for us to recognize the hug for the charade that it is. Rarely is it a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion, or affection. More often, it is a soulless imposition that is gravitating toward its victim at an alarming rate. So next time I see you, let's try keeping our limbs to ourselves. It's nothing personal—and that's the point.

Theirs no comments at the bottom :eek::eek: how am I suppose to know what opinion to form of this!



Yea, what she said ^^^.

Next gobsh1te I don't know that tries this or cheek kissing is getting a kick between the legs.
