Hmm, the Firefox "Highlights" feature, which shows you what pages you visited recently can be interesting at times.

Cause I know my mother and brother were being all secretive about something last night which usually means it's a Birthday present, and now there's "Highlights" saying tickets for Flight of the Concords were being bought last night too. I'm actually a little annoyed that Firefox spoiled that one on me, cause thats a ****ing awesome birthday present, and now I've got to spend 8 weeks pretending not to know or be excited....

at the end of the day it's a ****ing app and can't be taken seriously

Tinder is where I met my gf so I agree with you... it's awful :P

Ah no it's ok but if you're looking for a proper dating site you should check out Plenty of Fish I think, it's geared more towards better profiles rather than vain pictures. You're an interesting guy, traveling to gigs all over the place and following your passions, they're both attractive qualities.

There's also an Online Dating Group here on boards that has great tips for meeting new folks and gives advice on setting up profiles and such. I know someone who posts in it and can tell you how to get access. It's a private forum so there's no trolls and everyone is apparently sound.

Nah man the initial first date in ages is the hardest. You'll be less nervous next time. Put it down to experience. How did you meet her?

I tore my calf just before Christmas playing football, I hadn’t played in ages so that wouldn’t have helped. Felt like someone had kicked me in the back of the leg but there was nobody near me. I couldn’t really walk for a couple of days then it wasn’t too bad aside from some random darts of pain but the physio told me it was a grade 2 tear and would take 4 to 6 weeks to recover fully.

It’s been 3 weeks now and I just get a bit of stiffness at the moment but haven’t done much beyond walking. I’ll leave it another week or two before I try running on it.

First week of Couch to 5k done and few aches and pains but really not as many I was expecting.

Well I went and tempted faith out for my jog this evening and nice little pop in my calf and I can barely walk now

Painkillers and RICE for the the next few days hoping it's just a small pulled muscle and not a tear.

Maybe the value of car goes against you in that scenario.

One option is to do online quotes and let the companies phone you to see why you didn't purchase, they will knock more money off once you answer the phone.

If you have no luck, you may just bite the bullet and get a helicopter.

I tried cars that were 3, 5, & 7 years old and all the same didn't matter make or model. It's as if driving record counts for diddly
It's just annoying I even asked 2 companies when they rang back to tell me what car to buy to get sub 800 insurance and they couldn't/wouldn't (more likely the latter)

Insurance is (in theory) statistical in nature, I figure a 2003, 1.9 golf is in the 'most likely to be in a speedy accident category'.

This might sound like a wierd one but I'm trying to figure out what car I can afford to insure.

My latest insurance estimate went from the 700 mark to the 1300 on a golf 1.9 diesel 2003 reg. And that's just a ridiculous amount of money. I'm 31 no accidents 10 years + no claims in my own name that's what my first ever insurance cost me on my own!

It's ridiculous I dunno what to do as I need a car that's relatively comfy as I cross the country for work and. that can take a bit of a beating as the road from Galway city to my house is awful! But those cars put up the insurance to stupid figures. I'm absolutely lost.

My wife is currently taking down our tree now as well. Be glad to see it gone now at this stage.

Went out for a few drinks there Saturday night. Apparently it was Women's Little Christmas (never heard of this before). The town was full of "ladies" dressed up and acting like they were at a Hen do.

And that's my Christmas stuff away as well. Now I look forward to finding bits of tree around the house throughout the year

I deal with back pain a lot due to low sinks where I work, a pox on low sinks, a pox I say.

Because a lot of people are lazy. An actual parking space is too far from the shop and they don't want to have to walk those extra few metres. Same reason they park wherever they want as long as they put their hazard lights on.

Why the hell do people park by petrol pumps at forecourts when not getting any fuel :mad:
