I meet up with two friends from college for lunch every Thursday, and we usually go to the same O'Briens... as soon as they see us come in it's pretty much instantly "pulled pork roll, white tripledecker, brown tripledecker, americano, latte, coke"! Convenient if a little embarrassing...One of my saddest/proudest moments was when I called the Chinese to order for me and my friend (as we would do nearly every week), and the lady just rattled off our order and said it was on the way

My last guy was 17 odd and he was a big bugger. At 15 he was eating the couch.She was 15 last week
That's the figure to beat and no doubt she will A childhood mate of mine's dog a terrier made it all the way to 21. :eek: Their vet suggested she be put to sleep when she was 14 as she was "getting on and it wouldn't be fair". As it turned out she outlived him. Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

Mmm, cookies! I love how the book says they last in a container for 7 days...not happening Mary Berry, I ate my share before they were even fully cool 15 mins from starting to eating, om nom. That's my quota of baking for eating for the next 6 months! 0

I was so wrecked this evening. Had a wee nap so now I'm WIDE awake. I'm only on a four day week, imagine if I had to do all five days!?
Our Chinese is the same too. As soon as she hears my voice she has the order in the system! And she gets worried if I don't mention someone's order or forget a bit.0 -

Aw the poor thing
Jamie informed me that he watched the Grudge last week in his friends house. He's only turning 11 on Paddys day FFS. Not impressed.
Now in saying that, i had watch pretty scary stuff at his age and had to sleep with my dog in my bedroom for months thinking Freddie was under my bed.0 -
There was a mix up at the video shop for my sixth birthday and instead of watching some film about Bingo the dog, we ended up watching Critturs. Now I know it's a skit of horror films but at that age my sense of irony had not developed. Frightened the life out of me, I used to take a running jump into the bed every night for months after that, in case a crittur would pull me under the bed!Aw the poor thing

So hello, I've been awake for 4 hours! How's everyone else?
Probably not quite as tired, but I've got a woken up during the night story too
The wee doggie usually has to get up in the middle of the night to be let out the back and go to the toilet. That's alright, I get up and let her out and get back to sleep usually. The catch is, she's a total princess and won't go out if it's raining. So I got up and went to let her out the back, but she gives me that "Nope, I don't think I'll go out after all" look and we go back up to bed. Then she does the same thing again, it doesn't feel like I've had a chance to go back to sleep. Then again at 6, it's bright out now and the rain's stopped so she finally goes out to do her business! At this point, I'm hoping I can get another hour of sleep.
So annoying, but what can I say to her?

I was telling my sister-in-law about Jimbo's dreams and she thought I was saying he watched Paranormal Activity! :pac:
When I was 6 my brothers showed me Jaws. After that trauma I thought I was unscarable. Then I watched the original Ring film alone in our dark shack when I was 21. Definitely scarable!
I should have read the parental guide on imdb. Paranorman should be higher rated IMO. Our fella deals grand with Doctor Who, but this was on a different plane for him.0 -

After i watched the grudge i had to get one of the lads to walk me up to my door. It's a 30sec walk around the corner ffs. Then Jamie started telling me about parts he thought were funny and he was scaring the shíte out of me all over again.0 -
How does he manage with Doctor Who? Sometimes even I get a bit scared with it
He's grand because he knows the Doctor will save the day. He doesn't like the monsters (Silence especially) but once they're offscreen he's doesn't remember them (lol).
We were near the end of that film and I could feel him going rigid under my arm and I looked down at the look of horror on his face. Poor guy. We turned it off but maybe we should have let him see the end because he was telling me this morning that the zombies were "still alive." 0 -
Awwwwww the poor little thing. Does telling him that they're not real and only pretend not work?We were near the end of that film and I could feel him going rigid under my arm and I looked down at the look of horror on his face.

My brother watched it at his friend's house when he was about 15. One of the lads got up to get something out of the kitchen, and when he didn't come back he went to check and was confronted with this:
His friend had really committed to the prank, staying pressed up against the wall in the dark for ages to get the reaction he wanted0 -
