    Agreed Dapper. What yellum said makes me sick. Ungrateful little ba$tard! :mad:

    I hope your mother turned around and told you to f**k off and go and buy it on DVD yourself if you're so worried about it.

    Jesus Christ, spoilt, ungrateful brats like that turn my stomach.

    Remember yellum, you only have one mother and you'll be sorry when she's gone. I hope what you did today will continue to haunt you when she's passed on.

    bit harsh dont you think ? though I disagree with the bluntness and coldness that he used to tell his mother about the video, I think aiden that your comment is nothing but that of a jerk / lamer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Bloody hell, thank you everyone that gave me pressies.

    I got lots of cool stuff that I;m not going to boast about. I am getting DVD box set of Band of brothers. I asked for it, Felt a little mean asking for it off me mam so told her she could split it with my granny or sisters. (It's 70 or 80 Euro), but to my delight she bought it all on her lonesome.

    And just to let people know, my sister didnt recieve any presents from her imediate family, but asked that we give pressie money to charity.


    (See christmas isn't about ones self)

    Aidan you really don't know me or my life. I'm amazed how upset you can get over some stranger on a website making a post. Has the Tourettes medication worn off or something ? Why not climb down from your Ivory Tower now please.

    I have a great mother and I know this. I appreciate her being there for me now and all the other years of my life. I tell her this on a daily basis. I buy her gifts a lot and spent a fortune on her this year. I hug her and tell her I love her numerous times during the day.

    Saying that, I won't say thanks very much for getting me a video of the matrix with the price still on it (this bugged me more than anything else ). I actually wrote down on paper in big letters what I wanted and reminded her of the dvd bit. This was the only thing I wanted this christmas. Its not the gift that matters more than the thought and thats what pissed me off.

    Spoiled brat sure.. whatever. I'm sure you are a saint to your mum.

    Ask again later.

    Stupid eight ball.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    I dunno what the going rate for the vhs version of the matrix is but I know the dvd is €12.99. I bet your mum paid more for the video. :)

    And aidan I suppose you got a ham sandwich or something and you were damn grateful because you hadnt eaten in two weeks.

    What he said may have been rude but I dont think
    I hope what you did today will continue to haunt you when she's passed on.
    is really called for. It's only a present after all. :rolleyes:


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    Continuing in that vein, one year my mum bought me a stainless steel teapot. A teapot.

    I still said 'Oooh, a teapot!! Thanks!!'

    Another time I got a skirt for work as a birthday present from my parents. I still said 'ooohh!! A skirt for work!! Thanks!!'

    It didn't hurt, and I certainly didn't hand it back.

    My kid sister got a Mitsubishi Pajero Jnr jeep. That f**king hurt, I can tell you.

    Little cow.

    Teapot's kick arse.
    Wait till you're out on your own. You'll be only to happy to have your own one that you can take with you.

    I wish I had a tea pot.
    A nice high end one, stainless exterior casing, ceramic interior, oak handle and wooden base so you don't leave rings on coffee tables.
    i wonder how much that'd cost to make?
    Must look into it.....

    Jesus yellum was a bit rude but this is phenomenal.

    The level of unpleasantness in that last sentence is almost toxic. What a bile-ridden oaf. Don't you hate it when the stupidest simian in the room agrees with you?

    yellum, apologies for bringing this up in the first place.

    Haha, not at all. It was a bit of a troll anyway. Yeah what I said was rude, but I do speak my mind a lot and it sometimes irks people.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 19,029 Mod ✭✭✭✭Moonbeam

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,926 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    Mostly crockery (full set plus extra bowls and mugs). No0w I know I asked for corkery, but the set would have been enought by itself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 272 ✭✭wiensta


    i got a lovely round of presents which i didnt expect.

    - a charlie chaplin dvd
    - a nokia 3510
    - homer simpson socks
    - a t-shirt
    - sweets and a deodorant set
    - a book shop, art shop and sports shop voucher
    - some cash


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,265 ✭✭✭aidan_dunne


    Okay, let me clear up a few things about what I posted.

    Firstly yellum, my mother is dead. And not a day goes by that I don't think about her and things I said or did that hurt her when she was alive. So, believe me, I doknow what it's like.

    Secondly, I was never a saint to her when she was alive but, by Christ, I would have never done something as rude and downright f**king ignorant as what you did to your mother on Christmas Day of all days. Over the years I did get presents that I didn't really want but I smiled and said "thank you" and kept them. And you know what? Having them here with me now and being able to look at them and think of her and the smile on her face when she gave them to me is a nice memory to have. Will you have the same momory when you look at your Matrix DVD when your mother has passed on? No. You'll think of how rude you were to her and you'll regret it. Haven't you ever heard of the expression, "It's the thought that counts"?

    To Makaveli, no I didn't get a ham sandwich. I got three pairs of socks, two pairs of boxers, a Physio Sport gift pack and a sweatshirt. I might not be much compared to what some people got but it was extra nice because I didn't ask for anything and just getting it was nice and I appreciate it.

    DapperGent, I'm not a "bile-ridden oaf" either. It's just that what yellum did to his mother seemed disgraceful to me and it really pissed me off and I had to reply. Okay, perhaps calling him a spoil brat might have been a bit much but, for God's sake yellum, you could have dealt with the situation with a bit more tact, don't you think.

    Finally, to yellum. No, "the Tourettes medication" hasn't worn worn off but maybe my anti-depressants have. I hope you never suffer from depression or Tourette's Syndrome and have to find out first hand what it's like. Don't ever, ever make light of a medical condition unless you've suffered from it yourself.

    Rant over.

    Aidan,
    I'm me, people accept who I am. I'm not going to be false. Some people appreciate that some don't. Its the same with my mother, she'll tell me if she doesn't like her present. You have zero right to tell me how to lead my life, like I have none to tell you how to lead yours. Lets leave it at that please. Virtual shaking of hands etc ok ?

    Damien.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    Wait till you're out on your own. You'll be only to happy to have your own one that you can take with you.

    I am out on my own. I've been out on my own since I was 18. But a teapot???

    And further to the maggot that is my sister getting a jeep she ALSO gets her insurance paid.

    Man, I just don't get it.

    I paid for my OWN car, albeit a very foxy Renault 19 with 17" alloys (600 europes) but she gets a JEEP and FREE insurance??

    Spot the favourite child, ladies and gentlemen.

    The LEAST I deserve in these circumstances is a reply from Angelwhore. Or the magic eight ball. Damn you both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    I thought she got one of those little motorised jeeps, the like you would find on the Late Late Toy show. Surely you dont have to insure them?

    kid sister + mitsubishi pajero jnr jeep = toy car?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    No, I think you'll find that the mitsubishi pajero jnr jeep is just a smaller version of the big Fúck off mitsubishi pajero Jeep that may be purchased......
