    bambi what's a woman?

    L5 commented that the "bloke" in the first picture on the site looked like he was being battered, I pointed out that it appears to be two women that are in the ring.

    L5 probably edited/deleted his post after i pointed out his error, thus making it look like i was just being a p*** :mad:

    So you're coming from Trinity College see this over all view

    1.jpg

    Ok this is the detail once you get to Dorset Street
    2.jpg

    So basically you walk all the way up O'Connell street then up Parnell Square (keep walking by the ambassador). Walk by the garden of remembrance and I recommend you cross the street here and walk up beside the corner shop.

    Keep walking for about 3 mins then you'll come to Dorset Street (really wide). You cross here and basically keep walking straight (down blestington street). You'll see a Honda motorbike shop on your left and head for it, and just to the left side of this honda shop there is a lane. it's in a building at the end of this lane.

    Thanks sweetheart.

    I take it from the detail I'll have the pleasure of making your acquaintance there again soon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭53846


    Hopefully will be there monday week (tomorrow week).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭Cabelo

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭Cabelo


    I've just come back from the class tonight.

    Kev doing right by us yet again with fantastic directions. Thanks Kev if you still pop in to read occassionally.

    Great class, good instructor lad (I dunno his name) and good technique going on. Enjoyable and it seems pretty practical.

    all the israeli abrams tank crews and gunship pilots are KM black belts thus making it the most battle tested system in the entire galaxy :D

    Not all the time Bambi, occasionally they take on 12 year old Palestinians with their high powered rifles.

    As Roper said Im sure it comes in handy when they pull the trigger on their gunship a couple of thousand feet in the air and take out a housing settlement full of women and kids...Im not racist or anything but it seems to me that the israeli government and policies have become the nazi of this new century!! But thats my opinion, and since this is a MA/SD forum lets drop it. The Thai army still use Muay Thai as self defence....how can a millions and millions of soldiers down through time be wrong.
