    Rambling insults are much easier to repair than professions of undying love, in my experience anyway :).

    Claim you sent it to the wrong person in your address book!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    here's a novel idea, why don't you exercise some restraint n don't drink yourself into a stupefied state.

    damn straight


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 113 ✭✭daftbegger


    Have you asked the person if they are insulted?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    i would ask the person if he would answer his bloody phone.

    so i figure that means he is insulted.

    ah well......:rolleyes:

    u men are SO hard to figure out!!!

    Not really.
    Simple needs and desires. One level of complexity.
    Beer, sex, sleep and food. Prick us and we bleed. Call us impotent and we are insulted. And won't answer phones.
    :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    hmmm well this one must be the exception. not quite sure if i called him impotent......... although it is a strong possibility.

    i just shouldnt be allowed drink Jaegermeister....... something bad always happens!

    oh i dunno....

    thats because you women keep insulting us whenever you've had too much Jaagermeister and text us under the influence :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    yes but if he would at least tell me what exactly i said to him i could try to fix it........

    .............................and u lot think WE'RE hard to figure out!!!!??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Then maybe it's not worth fixing babe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    hmmmm yea ur probably right.

    i think i'll just take the hint and leave the poor bloke alone. :p

    i think i'll make a good spinster.....dont u?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 286 ✭✭n.catenthusiast


    i use my phone to figure uot if i've had too much.
    If I can still make out the time in the top right-hand corner of the screen than i'm fine.
    If it's gone completely blurred, and I haven't a clue what time it is then i'm wasted enough.
    Simple but effective

    Okay, this is almost completely off topic, but I suddenly really need to know if you know Peachy in the realms of the real world, or if you just automatically called her 'babe' because she's a gurrrllllll.....

    I heard on the News last week on fm104 or today fm, can't remember which one, that some hotel had started to do a babysitting service for mobile phones.You give in your phone @ reception when u check in, each phone was given its own deck chair and was answered around the clock. Only the important messages were given out and all the rest handed to you when you were leaving. This would solve a lot of problems especially if you were going on a stag weekend......
    I think the Hotel was in the UK.........:p :D
    Can't see it taking off though !!!!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    ok ppl we can all calm down.......... i found out what i said and i think i fixed it.

    til next time of course.......!!!

    i think you have far too much free time on your hands.

    and you'll find that red wine can be very enjoyable, as long as you let it breathe.............

    No I don't have much free time on my hands, While I am in work, I (surprisingly) work. If you knew these two girls you would find it funny. (If you were me).

    And It is fixed.

    Thanks Peach. xx

    Oh forgot to mention.
    Red wine breathing is a myth.
    Open and enjoy.....But please remember your roots.
    Don't be pompous about it, you will look silly.

    Really?

    I know at least 50% of them rather well and I just find it tiresome.

    Then again, maybe I don't think it's hilarious because I'm not you...

    Jesus - thank heavens for small mercies... :D

    hauling ass back on topic:

    I just don't top up my phone credit. Then when I'm drunk I physically can't send texts. Life is so much simpler that way...

    hmm, checked my roots. they seem to be fine. no need for the extra hair colour just yet.
    not too sure how i can be pompous about my roots, but there you go.

    you remind me of a twat who used to come onto these boards and was generally disliked.

    red wine breathing isnt a myth.

    glad its fixed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 479 ✭✭phoenix2181


    the proper expression for breathing is to chambre the wine as "to bring it to room temp" but not stick under hot water etc because the reason for that was that in the past they did not have central heating & the wine would be bloody freezing coming up from the cellar, so they would gentle warm it to room temp but red wine should be served cool not warm & white should be server cold rather then ice bloody cold ( defo not in a ice bucket)

    I think such items should be served to the individuals preference rather then in some "Correct" manner but there you are. Anyway back to the original topic, I used to have a Nokia 7110. The best feature on this phone was that it saved a copy of all outgoing text messages, so when you found yourself in such a predicament you could review what you wrote the night before and get the apologies in as you deem appropriate. It is a pity the phone had a sh1t reception as I had to get rid of it.

    I have a bill account, so that won't work for me. :)

    Another way would be... to keep the number of the sms service centre noted down at home, then enter a bogus number when you go out, so you can't send texts, are too drunk to enter the correct number, even if you can remember it... After a while you'd remember it though.

    Other solution: don't bring the phone. Or is everyone too attatched to theirs? I know I could certainly get by without it for a night*.


    * - However, I found it very useful once in a nightclub where you couldn't hear what the other person was saying even when they were shouting - loud - right into your ear. I communicated with people by writing a short message on the thing and handing it to them.
    /me shrugs
    Worked fairly well, and I wasn't too drunk to type properly.
