    Yeah, think you may have to clarify to him that by pants you're referring to trousers and not underwear.

    Not at all,it's a diploma in insurance,when I get the last one I will be CIP - a certified insurance practitioner, basically the insurance equivalent of the QFA's.

    Doesn't mean much in the grand scheme other than I get a €400 bonus from my job and it makes me much more marketable if and when I'm looking for a new job!

    I'm free for the weekend alright man but I must get onto some people and see if I've a place to stay if I do stay up - plus assess finances - still feeling the pinch after the holidays.

    I won't know until tonight if I'm going to head up or not - I'll give you a text tomorrow morning/afternoon and let you know what my story is :)

    Me - "Oh, not much. Just jumped out of a perfectly good aeroplane!" :cool:

    When we jumped, the wind turned us upside down, so I was falling to the ground back-first looking up at the plane flying off into the distance. I've never seen a plane from that angle before...

    It is definitely something I'll be doing again though.

    Anyone get up to anything interesting for the weekend?

    Glad to hear you'll be doing it again!

    I had a good weekend - didn't make it to Dublin (Sorry about that all!) as I had no place to stay. So instead I chilled Friday, went to the gym Saturday after the Lions match and had a BBQ with my mates and watched Office Space then gym yesterday morning, watched Kerry dismantle Cork for 35mins, had another BBQ - first time having BBQ'd steak which is immense!

    So a quiet one but still productive and nice :)

    I'm all for this tbh!

    Is there a separate vote on whether they get a parachute or not?

    Well I've never been to many BBQs and it's not something we did loads of as a family when I was younger - Killarney being the wettest town in Ireland! So anytime I had a BBQ I just had burgers and sausages, was nice to have a thick, juicy angus steak!

    Was so wrecked after work yesterday I fell asleep on the couch until 8 and missed training - gutted :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,846 ✭✭✭✭Liam McPoyle


    Did the first night of couch 25k last night,little bit stiff today but not too bad, beautiful day and management sent an email around saying that because of the weather anyone in non customer facing roles could dispense with the ties for the week,yahoo!

    Well done man, first step done, just keep it up and you'll be flying in a couple of weeks :)

    I'd love to have no tie for the week - the humidity is unbearable today down in Corcaigh, I maintain it's from the steam coming out of the Cork GAA lads ears from Sunday (H'On the Kingdom :D)

    Question though - do most of you folk get a casual Friday? We do it for Bank Holidays only and I think it should be a weekly thing at this stage

    We have casual day everyday here, shorts and t-shirts are the flavour of the day at the moment.. :)

    Surely the bosses would at least let you remove the ties for the day thats in it?
