    Having a tea break in the middle of sorting out the "I'll just leave this here and worry about it later" room.

    There's stuff here I don't ever remember seeing before.

    Any theme in particular?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Grandeeod


    I've moved from 2008 up to 2012 on the editing of the home movies. Keeps the mind active amid the dreariness of day to day life.:D Still a bit pissed off at the sheer fooking cheek of a few toerags in my immediate area that are still working despite not being anywhere near essential to even their own occupation. Same goes for the areseholes who want them to do the work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭wildwillow


    Congratulations on new babies.
    So delighted builders had finished and I'm in my own home for this isolation.

    Worried that Kitty reappeared for one post and has gone to ground again. Hope she hasn't got the dreaded virus.
    Keep safe.

    My creative and crafty friends are all happily making face masks for a nursing home. They will be washable and give some protection when nothing else is available. Good to feel we are doing something useful.

    Same in my area. These pricks are the reason my Dad cannot go for a stroll and I can't see my fiance. Selfish fukcs!

    Tomorrow and Friday I'll be a toerag so as I'm due back in work those days and my job couldn't be any less essential if it tried. I know you said previously that you keep looking out the window and seeing neighbours gathering etc... it may be time to close the curtains for a few weeks or you'll end up firing that shotgun and you might shoot me on my way to work! :eek:

    Strolled round my local town centre this evening, almost completely deserted. An unsettling feeling welled up, started involuntarily looking over my shoulder. All those old zombie movies surged to the forefront of my mind, pumping the adrenaline. In the end, a dreary emptiness was all that lingered. A portent of the next few weeks, as utterly necessary the restrictions are.

    A van of three clearly unrelated guys cutting someone's hedge is most definitely not essential . Two seperate groups out walking ( including little children ) who stopped to chat with each other huddled together outside my neighbours house, two of whom were leaning against the neighbours car. I doubt very much you fall into either category of selfish, stupid a$$hole l, Guy.

    Evening all :)

    Couchside watching Last of the summer wine, they don't make classics like this anymore :)


  • Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    You'd be sick waiting for the days numbers :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,380 ✭✭✭Poochie05


    I have been video chatting with my mum a couple of times using WhatsApp on the phone but decided to send her a link in Microsoft Teams today so we could try on a bigger screen for a change, but we couldn’t get it working as her paranoid self has taped over her camera and microphone AND disabled them somewhere deep in the settings!
    Was funny as she could see me on the screen and we were chatting on the phone so I could hear her! She’s promised to see if she can work out how to undo the disabling so we can try again tomorrow.

    I’m kitchenside, shortly heading couchside.

    They are out now and would you maybe consider not looking at them? You said yesterday that you had some bad news but you had a really good conversation with your mother today which helped cheer you up. There is nothing unsurprising and no real brand new information. It is more grim news. Maybe just take a night off Buile, give yourself a mental break.



    Watch this video, I have watched it every day for the last week along with other similar ones. A fantastic stress reliever.

    x2 it’s the only way to enjoy the deliciousness of the wonder bean! :D

    Couchside, watching the Wire drinking (Red Lyons) Tea and cake. Jumbo Dave this evening.

    Exactly. They're also the reason I won't get back to some kind of work, even here in Ireland anytime soon.

    Hey Guy, I'm talking about handyman/painter and decorator types who don't give a fook about anybody but themselves. Nor do the eejits they are doing work for. If you work for an actual company/business that is taking the piss, essential wise, I'll spare you the cartridge to the head.:D

    I have similar here. As of now, next door has visitors with their kids and they're all playing together out the back. WTF is wrong with these people.:eek:

    Aaww thanks Guy. Beautiful vid. You couldn't help but laugh along. Unfortunately I already looked at the numbers. I try to watch the DoH briefing each day to keep up to date but have stopped watching and reading stuff elsewhere for the most part, just sometimes tidbits here and there.

    I find some days I'm totally grand with everything and feeling positive about the whole thing in terms of making the most of a bad situation and taking it day by day. Every once in a while though I have a low day and feel totally overwhelmed by it all and totally anxious about me or a loved one getting it. I think it's because my partner still has to go into work and just that feeling of what is he bringing home?.. it's the lack of control I guess.

    Anyway, today is a good day in terms of feeling strong but nonetheless impossible to wait on those numbers without your stomach getting tight and the heart beating a little faster.
