    The awkward moment when you realise that your roast pork is still sitting uncooked on the counter after your run... forgot to put it in the oven. D'oh!

    Had a really good weekend though, so can't complain too much, even if I did have that Monday-morning-after-late-flight-Sunday grogginess for half the day today.

    Mmmm, I love pork. I made pork belly and crackling a few weeks ago for Sunday dinner and it was amazing, droool!

    Ah no. The requirements for a fully recognised TEFL qualification are indeed 150 hours for a level 5 award.

    Okay.. I don't know if I would ever need or use it but for €60 it would be handy to have on the CV!

    Stuck in traffic this evening, a taxi driver slowed down and had a chat through the window telling me I needed to put air in my tyre (I was giving a colleague a lift)

    Off we went to the nearest petrol station, my colleague directed me, and problem solved.

    I thought it was lovely :)

    i was all, "i asked ilya what he would be if he were to have enough money not to need to work, and he said he would be an alcoholic as he loves beer! so i am saying that i don't like beer"

    mixin up tenses all in da house yo :cool::cool::cool::cool:

    I must be the only person not that bothered about seeing it. I probably will, but I'll wait until all the hype dies down, and go when it's a bit more comfortable.

    I'll never watch it so I win! I am definitely not bothered about seeing it, I've never seen any Batman movie so not starting now (just had to ask boyfriend if Dark Knight is a Batman movie, to be sure) :)

    i thought this was an intro to fantasy :p
    have you seen pleasantville?
    well, not that that's new
    crouching tiger? that's one of my all time favourites, it's martial arts fantasy
    illusionist is also one of my all time faves but also not too recent
    still, if you haven't seen those, you ought to

    i think i am a bit out of date!:p

    I love Pleasantville, one of those charming little films that hardly anyone has seen, if you like Back To The Future you'll enjoy it.

    I remember renting it when I was living in Limerick and someone had recorded over the second half with pay-per-view porn. LOL.

    Considering the theme of the film, I thought that was brilliant.

    I'm just fair removed from this stuff, have never heard of twilight.

    I'd to ask someone today what swedish house mafia music was, and then have it translated to the nineties

    I think I might be a backward timewarp :D

    Jacob never gets completely naked in any of the twilight movies. Disappointing.

    Right, lads, I'm gone for the guts of a fortnight. Take care, y'all. Try not to let the place get too overrun with cats & cake while I'm away...
