    She wasn't that dirty auld one from Naked Camera was she?


    Thanks for that mental image gramar! :pac:

    Nah you'll meet all sorts around here really, she said she was just out for a walk, but she'd a full face of make-up on so she was probably on walkabout from one of the hostels. I didn't know which one and I figured she wasn't gonna be as forthcoming with where she was supposed to be, so best not aggravate or upset her and she'd toddle back home in her own time, wherever or whenever that was :(

    I made lunch last night and as per usual... its the last thing I want to eat at 1pm the following day

    I give a fcuk and I hope the same wasn't said about you when you're mother was pregnant with you.

    You've just trivially annoyed me ...and I liked you. :(

    But why do you care? The royal family are just pointless...

    Wait till someone suggests you start holding interviews via Skype... :pac:

    That's fine for large companies like Microsoft, Google and Twitter, but it's unlikely to catch on in Ireland for another while yet, and by then I hope to be living Grizzly Adams style, well off the grid :D

    Wouldn't work in my game, squire. In order to get an appreciation of style, it has to be done face-to-face. For example, my daughter is a SYS-V sort of gal, traditional five-finger-pluckin'. She demonstrates here, with some extended family:



    Whereas my American cousin (Ezekiel Jefferson Davis Kootenai Goose III - our great gram-pappy fought from outta the Missourah with ol' J. E. B. Stuart) is very much a BSD/Mach Appalachian Clawhammer type, as shown:

    They seem like nice people. It's not wrong to care about others.

    They don't care about anyone else though, they're the biggest welfare scrounges in the world. And contribute nothing to society

    It's nothing to do with caring about others. It's about the praise they get and superiority they're granted for no reason.

    Which ones are nice? The one who 'may have' presided over the killing of his ex-wife, the one who dresses up as a nazi, the one who is a complete racist, the one who knighted so may paedos, or the other ones?

    Careful now. He lobbed a gay lad out the window.

    Sorry, giving the short versions of things isnt my strong point. I'm sure it was riveting :/

    i know nothing about make up and I was intrigued too

    In all fairness to the Nedster, that wasn't because he was gay, he just didn't like him.

    The old biddy next door is wrecking my head today. Our builder is in and out putting in foundations for the boundary wall, nothing remotely to do with said old biddy. Yet she's on her 6th circle of our house on her wheeled walker mobility aid. She's 80 something and clearly a nosey bitch. No doubt she'll be bitching to her alky bint daughter when she gets home from work. If she's hoping to fall over something and sue us she'll be sorely disappointed, we've no money to be sued for. :D

    ...

    A good few years back I had a youngfella renting a room in my house, largely out of doing him a favour. When he left he took a good Bosch drill I had with him, the little fartbollix. That was well over a hundred euro worth. I wouldn't mind, but if he'd asked to even "borrow long term" I would have given it to him. :mad:

    4 years ago, I was wearing a pair of 5 inch heels and fell on the way into my house, I put my hands out to break the fall and really hurt my wrist. Too embarrassed to go to the dr, I put a compression bandage on it and carried on.

    It's almost 4 years to the day, and there's a bone sticking out of my wrist and the pain of it still is horrible. It's more annoying than painful but it's constant.

    That ad that appears in the bottom right-hand corner for 3D t-shirts with animal heads on them. They creep me out. :mad:

    Fair point. But I don't think he was too enamoured by his fabulous threads either.

    It just goes to show, these Hipsters have been rubbing some people up the wrong way for a long time. :pac:

    Lexie, have you ever got it checked at all?
    My friend had a problem with her foot, she went to a doctor because it has become really irritating and they found out that one of the bones was fractured. For about two years! She then remembered one incident when she fell and put the two together. Got it sorted in the end and has been ok ever since.

    Yeah, that's not good, get it seen to or you'll pay for it down the line. Where you drunk? I only ask as I damaged my tail bone slipping down the stairs on my ass in a cocktail bar on my 30th birthday, also managed to burn a hole in a really expensive velvet patchwork quilt by nodding off with a lit ciggy in my mouth that same night. It took me 6 weeks before I went to my gp about the pain. I still get pain if I'm sitting on an unpadded surface for any length of time.:o

    Not only that, there's a chance that arthrithis will kick in on it as well.
    I'm in my early 30's and because of a bone problem in my knee area, I feel the affects already and it's not something that is comfortable.

    From when I was about 14-15 until about 20, I went for countless x-rays and specialists about my knee giving me grief, until one new guy looked at it and instantly saw a fracture. At that point, there was the option of surgery or dealing with it, dealing with it was recommended as the impact at that stage was minimal. Roll on another 6 years of dealing with popping the bone back into place and random inflamations of my knee, the bit of bone that was fractured, completely came out of place and crunched in the joint making five little pieces of bone in my knee. Surgery was then needed and it's been great since....apart from the arthrithis.

    Oh...and it ruined my chance of becoming a professional footballer, I had a scout from a big team looking at me one time.

    I did something to my coccyx as well about 18 months ago. I was walking down stone steps and my bad leg went from under me (common occurrence) and I landed really heavily on my bum. I was more concerned about my leg than anything else but the next time I was in with my GP I mentioned it to her and she was all "oh yeah those kind of fractures can take a really long time to heal, 18 months or even longer". It still hurts all the time, especially in work if I've been sitting for a long time or if I'm on the bike for a long spin and even when you get up it's one of those pains that just kind of dulls but is always in the background :mad:

    I did mine 11 years ago. I've got a dodgy leg as well, from repeatedly tearing ligaments in it. So if I've been sitting on a hard bench for a while and am also having a dodgy leg day, I probably move like a geriatric. Hunched over and hobbling along.:D
