    Ah this thread has had multiple versions before it closed as reached full capacity.

    The original premise was "where are you right now" as in location, I think the very first post they were sitting in a beer garden along a canal.

    The thread has evolved to a more after hours off topic thread 😊😊😊



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,504 ✭✭✭thomil


    As Princess Calla just mentioned, this has evolved quite a bit into an After Hours hangout/lounge area. We try to keep things supportive and light-hearted in here, so feel free to join in.

    As for myself, deskside in the home office here, just after demolishing a fresh pain au chocolat 😋

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    I think we all breathe a collective sigh of relief here when Blue is doing ok.

    Damn, nearly forgot to leave the bin out. A worry Mark Zuckerberg does not have.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,282 ✭✭✭Poochie05


    Just had bubble and squeak and a fried egg, had forgotten how to use up leftover cabbage but now I’ve dusted the reminder off from the corner of my brain, I will do again! 😋😋



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Plans for tonight include eat some of an egg, look online to purchase a mallet 😉😄, watch tv and pray to the lotto gods 🙏🙏



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,173 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    It's so nice isn't it? Great way to use up leftovers, no waste and tastes delicious!

    sounds like a parallel universe except for the want of a mallet. 💪



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,282 ✭✭✭Poochie05


    Bubble and squeak, have you not heard of it before Seph?
    It’s leftover mashed potato and cabbage, and I like a bit of onion, mixed in to a patty and fried, absolutely delicious.

    No leftover leftovers I’m afraid! 😂





  • god what a day. 😰

    Went to Dino alive with Mrs Clementine Mushy Sun and the weans and on the way home stopping at circle K off the M9 for a McDonald’s.. all sounds great but someone was laughing at me from their cloud because the damn car battery somehow flattened itself between stopping and trying to go again.

    €110 and 45 mins later for a mechanic to pop out and boost it. Just home a few mins and absolutely beside myself about it. Really can’t afford this waste of money at the min but oh well. The lad who came out was a gent mind you he even spotted the battery is actually not the right size at all for the civic too small so might be causing the problems with starting I’ve been having recently— much to think about.

    Gonna have a look on micks garage shortly for a more suitable battery, but not before I lament the money I just spent.

    Wasn’t all doom and gloom though, Dino Alive was pretty cool and I went to the Asia market in artane and found a lot of goodies. Also saw the lovely memorial wall for the Stardust victims which is such an awful tragedy.

    Hope everyone else had a good day!

    Work and some gym, rinse, repeat, pints tomorrow, work again. Facing a blank wall with social welfare so far



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,927 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    that’s fine , but can I say that’ you buying a mallet ‘ is a bit scary 😷😷



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,721 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Aah sure a mallet is the milder end of the thumpy things scale!

    Hope you get somewhere with the SW . It's so fecking hard at times.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,721 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Nope, not slept either.. This rate there'll be two of us claiming disability. 😭



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,173 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Oh ffs GRRR 😖😖 . The mind boggles at the hoops and rigamarole you've to go through sometimes , not to mention how demoralizing it can be . Makes you feel as if you're begging for any help at all. Hugs to you and Mrs Grem, not much help I know though.

    @Clementine Mushy Sun - ouch, hope you get the car sorted.

    I just about remember the Stardust tragedy - I was not quite 6 but it was the first big news story I recall. It was a disgusting scandal how the owner of the building was found not only not responsible for the very avoidable disaster in the first enquiry, but he was actually compensated for the fire in his building where the escape doors were chained shut, causing many of those young people to die needlessly. He was a good pal of then Taoiseach Charlie Haughey - the country really was a deeply corrupt, dysfunctional, backward Banana republic in those dark days. I really hope the relatives of the 48 victims finally get the justice they deserve in this current inquiry.

    Working from home here today in the home office, marking student assignments ahead of classes starting back after the Easter break next week - and a final years dissertation student will be interviewing me for my "expert" opinion for his research at 4.00pm via Zoom, so also preparing for that.

    Was at my good mate's mother's funeral this morning - it was solemn but very dignified and the music played in the church was beautiful.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,927 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    watching the daytime quizzes on tv , but slightly in shock following news of a neighbour’s death . He was a sound man and leaves behind a wife and 4 children. I met him a few weeks ago in the shop and he was , as always , in good form and joking . Rip



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,942 ✭✭✭gifted


    Made apple crumble for the two eldest chicks in seperate ramekin dishes.....stewed apples at the bottom...custard in the middle and then topped with buttery/light brown sugar/ porridge oats crumble cooked seperately and then put on top...chicks said its the best one ever so im happy...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,200 ✭✭✭wildwillow


    Well I also got the crumble urge but made rhubarb, the first of the season. Dismayed that many of the plants are going to seed so early.

    Crumble was delicious.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    I just had Rice Krispies with milk.

    Nice !



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,942 ✭✭✭gifted

    The rain today! In my hotel room drying out. Dinner now and maybe a nice beer with it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Yep, the continuous wet is wrecking my head.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,741 ✭✭✭suvigirl


    I don't want to sound like an old wan, but I'm loving the stretch in the evenings😁................



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,264 ✭✭✭✭Grandeeod


    It's great!

    My feet ache but Ive a room to myself. Overnighting with work used to be the norm but my allowance didn't cover the cost over the last two years combined with a shortage of rooms



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,741 ✭✭✭suvigirl


    I hear ya!😂

    Uunfortunately, I'm at the states mercy, the state believes we are all staying in B&Bs in 1985 😂

    watching the blair Witch project . I was at the premiere in NY and thought it was a good film



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 635 ✭✭✭ottolwinner


    I’ve never sat through that movie fully.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,721 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Jaysis people are taking storm prepping seriously here, all battened down and not even posting 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Had pain au chocolate and sweet chilli chicken wrap from Lidl for lunch. 😋

    Going to get a big mug of tea now. ☕

    Feeling stressed out and burned out in work. So I definitely need that tea.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,346 ✭✭✭✭smurfjed


    Thanks, he came close,but as we don't have kids in the house, he deserved a 2nd chance. We have completed 10 out of 20 sessions with a trainer. To be blunt about it, he is a lot rougher and harsher with BLUE than we could ever be. But we are seeing the results.

    We did accept the choke collar but we drew the line at a spiked collar or electric collar. His own boxer has both and I see him as a defeated dog that is scared to espress his character, but he came from the kennel as a known biter, so I can understand the need.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,504 ✭✭✭thomil


    Definitely taking it seriously down here, just got back from doing my weekend shop 😁

    Looking forward to doing sweet feck all for the weekend as a consequence…

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,053 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    Just back from a spin along the coast, sea looking seriously choppy already.

    Tmw a day for hot chocolates and Easter eggs me thinks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,927 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    watching Gardeners World . Something I never thought I’d do .



  • Registered Users Posts: 715 ✭✭✭Duvet Day


    Lashing rain here, I'm relaxing with a glass of wine, went into town for the afternoon, now I'm not a nervous person but it was very rough, I'd honestly say the rough element is completely taking over, too many incidents to just be a coincidence, no wonder people are staying out of there. On a better note I got a takeaway coffee and they gave out a free profiterole to everyone while we waited, omg ,absolutely gorgeous, I might go back in tomorrow and buy a box of them.☺️



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 60,721 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Hatches battened, tae in hand.. There's plenty of sandbags piled in the usual storm/tide surge locations. Stay safe my friends 😊
