Went to see Gravity yesterday, good film. Ads before hand...Robert Downey Jr. flogging HTC, hmm.

Long day. Any weekend plans among ye?

I hate German
Lads don't go commando in this cold weather. My two cents.

So how are we all after the weekend?

I had three massive Sporting letdowns, but two cracking games in Liverpool and Ireland.

Giants lost in the last second of the game too, so running trend in all three games. Heart can't take that every weekend!

Anyone get up to anything?

Barna77

Quiet weekend after Friday's drinks....

More drinks today, another birthday... People out there, stop having birthdays all at the same time


*or not getting up the duff by Valentine's day...

Had a very quiet weekend. Stayed in, watched the Froch fight Saturday night, went yesterday with the bird and got all my Christmas shopping done then went to Eddie Rockets followed by the cinema.

It was the only weekend I don't have a session on until after Christmas so Iade the most of it.

That sounds like a stupendous day old chap, tbh, I'd be asleep in the cinema after a day of shopping and Eddie Rockets!


Went home myself, the mother was on hols for a couple of days, had today off so I went home to chill out with my dad and welcome her home last night.

Got to meet my buddy for coffee and went to the gym, watched a ball of sport with El Papa, got a bottle of 212 NYC from the mother upon her return, got a large shop in, washed & hoovered the car & had a fry before heading back up. So all in all, very relaxing few days

Also read a book in a night called 'All my friends are Superheroes' it's only 90 pages or so and it's a very easy read - would recommend it

"If I could....then I would..."

Have been watching some of Case 39 on RTE. Bradley Cooper is a therapist, social worker...um yeah, no.

Panthro

Has a look through TGC to see what's been happening...
It's been a good day!!:D:D:D:D

Going to surprise the lads by landing down to Cork around 10, and meet up with them for the night. Having to travel back to Dublin tomorrow will be a pain, but hopefully tonight will be worth it.

Hope ye're enjoying yer weekends folks

Barna77

Another drinking session tonight. The last until christmas holidays, I believe... My liver is crying for mercy

Panthro

Good thing about Sundays... I radio's "Old skool Sundays"
"This is the rhythm of the nighttt!"

Pawwed Rig

Afternoon all.
Over the hump of the week now. Can nearly sniff the weekend at this point. Gotta love mid week EPL, an excuse for pints on a Wedneday night.

Yeah I think I'm still not right after last weekend, my boss is out though so I'm having to deal with a bit more shít than I'd like to!

I'm up in Dublin Saturday for pints and shenanigans though so looking forward to that

Barna77

But it's Thursday for me

Two weeks to holidays, and trying to stay off drinks...

Did anyone say mulled wine?

I certainly didn't....had to inhale the fumes from that shít for a day hungover working a wedding, that day sucked!

Pawwed Rig

Not a fan of cloves so usually give the mulled wine a miss

Barna77

Back home last christmas I had a bottle and let's say it made me quite merry. I saw something on telly over the weekend, some recipe for mulled cider. Now that didn't sound right....

I did the same thing this morning and turned up a week early for a dental appointment. In fairness they saw me anyway so no loss (unlike your NCT:().

I'm not a huge Soccer fan but looking at UTD Supporters coming out with crap like "You're benching your team on a racist" on The Bookface this morning.

And therein began my rant about every failure by UTD players.

Knex*

Went to buy a kindle the other night after work.

Came home with an electric guitar

Might as well resign myself to illiteracy now :pac:

Pawwed Rig

Was a sad night last night. To lose at Old Trafford to Everton was heartbreaking.
I did see Suarez first goal which was amazing. Don't like the man as a person but there is no doubting his talent with a football.

There's actually no words for his style, he's not athletic like Ronaldo or a twinkle toes, Messi styled player, he's just magic!

You see that on both sides in fairness, headwrecking stuff!

Nice! I found a lefty spanish guitar that I tried to learn with at 16 or so - going to restring it for the way I play now and see how she sounds, worst case I sell it for cheap and put it towards a really nice guitar I spotted lately.

Also, my buddy is getting an electric guitar fixed and loaning it to me with an amp so I can cut my teeth on that - really can't wait, should hopefully have it for the Christmas break.

Link to your electric by chance?

In fairness, it looked like a cracker, United were very unlucky not to score at least one, but Everton are a much better team now than they were under Moyes, solid at the back, better MF with McCarthy & Barry, pace & power with Lukaku, Mirallas etc. - things are going well for them right now.
