Off-Topic

Never posted on this forum before, but it seems a bit strange that there's no off-topic/general conversation thread, especially if meet ups take place. It could be a good addition, considering how a lot of the topics here are a bit heavy...

Thoughts?

What surprises me is the grannies didn't win but at least it wasn't a block vote win (knows too much about the Eurovision)

por Jedwards.

They give me epilepsy though.

We're not doing to well in the Eurovision :P

And just think dreamer, loads of chicken wings for the BBQ - if you think about it no point in building the houses/runs...

Anyway, my plans ofr the weekend are to relax in the sun and do a little sketching or painting. I'll bring my mum out for a drive on Sunday. Dont know where to bring her, maybe Bray, Courtown or perhaps Duincannon...

Scorcher out there today. I'm off the beer temporarily (or at least until I get another job) but would have killed for an ice cold bottle earlier.

I just loved that movie Aurongroove and the song captured the essence of it perfectly for me. (I get that the techno bit sounds a bit crass now but it was all part of what made it what it is, well, that and Milla Jovovich

)

Daughter has been catching up on the last few seasons of madmen and is now obsessing with 50's everything. I came home yesterday and Glen Miller was pumping out on the system.

Best of luck Itma, still working on getting to interview stage here but a few things maybe lined up in the near future so fingers crossed.

edit: also I think I have hayfever

Spent most of the day in Dublin for an interview. I hope it comes through, because I suffered enough being stuck in a car in Dublin traffic in 25 degree heat.

I have to smile, when you see this thread first and read the 2nd post the person doesnt seem to think the thread would work - well what the hell did he know - its the most popular LGBT thread by far...

A bit ironic really...

Aurongroove

the vocal performance at the beginning of that video is so wonderful sounding now, and the souped up pitch-bent techno bit sounds so utterly horrible.

Back in the day it sounded like the first bit was the boring intro for the good bit.

I have been playing EDM for 20 years now and before that grew up on electro synth pop to me Dubstep sounds like the b&stard love child of the two genres and lacks the charm of either

mind you I have to endure Justin Bieber on my phone for my youngest so Dubstep would be a welcome break!

The albanian entry reminded me of this

It was great to watch a group of 70 year olds, dancing around the place.

I never discussed with anyone in work let alone my boss so pretty sure no one knew, boss loved arse off me anyway. (think I would have been afraid to have that change so would never consider letting her know)

I don't think I'm her type, recently enough she pointed out my tiny hands in an unsatisfied way

So who I've worked with for about 3 months realised today I was gay. It was one of those slow, drawn out, dawning of realisation on their face scenarios. She then spent the rest of the evening dropping 'subtle' remarks about how gay people should be allowed to marry and adopt children and save the world etc. Bless!

pets can be great company, they have a particular 'normalizing' effect on the psyche.
My little Caitche (a cat) is growing old now back home; you can see her come up or down the stairs more carefully like she's hopping each step to so's not to worry her aging joints.
but she's still as funny as ever. She's such a funny cat, and she behaves like a person.

Do you leave her run free bandc? Ever since our buns were litter tray trained we've let them run around loose in the evenings when we're home. They're like extra fluffy/thumpy dogs

Not really, because she's pretty small and eats everything. Like, my laptop charger was up on the couch one evening (I let her out on the couch for a run and to sit and chill with me watching tv) and I turned around for like a second and she had some of the plastic coating off. So I don't think I could trust her to just wander around and not electrocute herself or something!!! She gets a long run in her ball where she can go wherever she likes, and then lots of couch and playtime. She fell asleep on me the other night when I was watching family guy, too cute!!!

yeah, it's sad but thats the only thing sitting on my face in the mornings

I completely missed the first sentence of that post and thought you were talking about something else ENTIRELY. :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I'd really love a cat. I grew up with loads of pets, but we had the space for them then, down the country. Now I live in a little flat in the city, no way I could keep anything bigger than a hamster! I have to say it's lovely having her in the house, she keeps me company and pops up at the oddest times to say hello! It's been great since I started my break from my PhD, she's helped my mental health out no end.

I miss having a pet. Well we have a load of stray cats who live in our shed but unless you have food and are happy to look and not touch they aren't coming anywhere near you. I've tried taming them in the past but unless you keep them inside, at least temporarily, it's pretty impossible.
