    iamanengine, I'll sell you my uke if you want.

    I have played far too many musical instruments in my life.

    Aha same, I've been thinking a lot lately that I really want to play an instrument of some sort and the ukulele does seem like a nice place to start.

    *waits for advice*

    Too lazy to go find a way of social networking you but we should meet up sometime

    Ireland is just absolutely beautiful. We have an amazing landscape. Our towns may not be the best but our countryside remains as elegant as it did the first time it was created. If only i wasnt working i'd enjoy those sunsets for eternity. I see why the Americans love our countryside. Its just made up of 100% beauty. Who needs Failté Ireland when ordinary people can create more stunning videos like this for a fraction of the cost and get a massive investment back by helping business' boom. We're not in a recession anymore just feels like we are and we can change that.

    Ooooooo what kind is it?? I have been looking into it a bit and I think a tenor would be the best but they seem a bit expensive. So thinking about this one or something similar.

    Also I may have EU notes if you need, I can check when I get home from work!

    I bought a uke not so long ago. (Have yet to actually play anything on it though :P)

    The one advice I feel I can give is don't go for a super cheap one. Look to spend around €50 on it. The one I bought was €30 and it feels it. I had to buy a set of decent strings for it 'cos the ones that were on it were adverse to staying in tune.

    I would suggest Thomann or Waltons as the best sites to go looking. I didn't really like Amazon's selection, but then I have sort of a crush on Thomann because they're such an awesome company to deal with. <3

    I've been feelling fairly bored lately. I'm stuck in a very aimless rut . I'm working a job that is solely an income. I have no desire to work in a kitchen forever. Not that I don't enjoy it. Living in Limerick is the happiest I've ever been. I know that I want to go back to school eventually. As of yet though, I am not certain of what I want to go back and do. I'm not willing to waste another course solely because of the social stigma of not being in third level. Until I know; I ain't going back. Through all the hours of pondering I've put into this two possibilities have arisen. Either I emigrate. Go to Canada and work on the oil rigs. My grandad died in April. He was the greatest man I ever knew. He spent his twenties and early thirties walking from building site to building site the length and breadth of Britain. Following the work. A true Navvie. The toughest of the tough. A year on a rig would show me if I'm made of the same iron as him.
    Option two is to join the British Army. See Afghanistan. See combat and maybe make a difference. As much as I disagree with war on an intellectual level. I can't help but feel that my personality was handcrafted for combat. A tour would tell me if I'm right.
    I've never felt so unsure as to what my next step should be.

    Regular post? Prolly a day or 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    It's supposed to take a day. Sometimes it takes two.

    I just told the first person (apart from iamanengine) that I'm repeating...*gulp*


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,857 Mod ✭✭✭✭suitcasepink


    Thanks guizzz Hoping that the letter I send Wednesday reaches my bud Friday.. Fingers are crossed

    So while not a man of beards. I have come to the decision that i can never get rid of this The Chin Strap Beard. I dont like beards they are not me. but I need this. Without it i dont look as awesome. still awesome but just not at that level. But yes i'll agree when guys have a tidy beard. i'll thumbs up that shiz.

    For those of you who say you cant i do apologize. but recommend the The Chin Strap Beard. it doesnt require much

    Some of the comments on Fb a priceless ha ha

    "Whats the difference between Garth brooks and Germany ?

    I think I am over my ex and that's my thought for the day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭Junco Partner


    One of the guys from work posted a picture on FB of his young son, grasping a sausage with the caption {The Sausage Hunter}.
    Almost choked on my tea as I strolled through my newsfeed.

    This world is so strange. Our minds are so strange. But i guess sitting in a room all day you begin to go a bit simple. I've developed this habit of wanting to tell everyone everything. so hard to stop. The temptation to not put anything on facebook is hard. But wanting to say hello to friends is hard. even if its just once a week. i guess those friendships are dead and i have to once again meet new people.

    Anyway just cant wait to get home and start from the beginning with my life. Do my courses and figure out what i really want to do because money doesn't grow on trees

    Try toutless.ie or adverts.ie, in my experience toutless is pretty good you could try there. But if it's a v high demand gig you could be out of luck :/

    Thanks I was looking at adverts, Ill post on toutless now..
    Tbh I didnt think theyd sell out like that at all, totally underestimated the teen-fandom..

    Hopefully something comes up.


    On a totally separate, unrelated note, anyone who knows of two 5sos tickets for sale the Friday night, a pm in my direction, would be cool :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    5sos? My sister's pretty involved in that bandom on twitter, I'll get her to keep an ear out. I got her a soundcheck ticket for the first show, she's delighted.

    If there's a Facebook page for the event, it could be worth posting there too. I picked up tickets for two Limerick gigs in the past 18 months from people who saw my requests when they couldn't go to the gigs themselves.

    Yeaaa! Thanks so much, it was just total disorganisation on my part that caused this..
    Worst part is that I actually have a lovely standing ticket for the Thursday that some girls in college got but my sis wasnt able to go that night so we were praying for the Friday, and..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    You'll probably see my sister there then!
