    Realising at the 11km mark of a 22km run that I hadn't eaten in over 8 hours.
    Hit a massive wall and walked/very slow ran all the way home.

    Felt very disappointed with myself for doing something so stupid.

    I've given it up and the house is still standing. Therefore ergo heretofore once we have plates to eat from and gear to run in, that's all that matters.

    I gave it up too but I'm on a running break at the moment and for the first time in a few years have realised that I'm living in a pigsty:o

    8 hrs to run 11 kilometers? You need to take up another discipline!:)

    Women can always clean better than men. It's in their DNA.

    Yes I guess you're right. Just like it's in some men's to be lying, cheating misogynistic bastards ;)

    Running 1.2 miles from work to the DART station, then realising you've lost your bank and LEAP card, running all the way back to work while checking the ground for your lost items. No luck. Picking up some money and then rattling all the way back to the DART.

    Rant eile: Ringing up BOI to cancel your card and being told that you will be charged €8 and it will take 5-7 days. It used to be free and take 2-3 days. If you are going to charge a ridicuous amount, you could at least improve the service or at the very least keep the same standard. Unfortunately I've lost enough card in my days to have seen the steady rice in the price of this service and the equally steady deterioration in the service

    After several years of procrastination I finally went for my first ever lunchtime run at work.

    Did a very enjoyable 8 x 800m interval session, a quick cool down, quick shower and then popped back to my desk......and then the sweat tsunami started :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    My lilac shirt turned a deep sweaty purple; desk, keyboard, mouse etc. all glistening with a thin sheen of embarassing perspiration. Managed to rob a fan from one of the lads but the damage was done :(

    Deep Sweaty Purple? I think I have one or two of their albums somewhere.

    Hypocrites: Specifically people who never go to mass and are not one bit religious, yet insist on getting their children baptised and having church weddings and getting their children confirmed and holy communicised. I'm totally atheist myself but if I were involved in the church I would find it highly insulting to see it used and abused like that and it shouldn't be allowed. You're either a fully signed up member of the club or you're not.

    If you're a high profile celebrity and a hacker manages to seek out nude sexy photos of you, you're thick and deserve what you get. Don't take nude photos of yourself and save them in digital format if you don't want them to be potentially accessed.

    People who pronounce Vegan as VAgan. It's really not that difficult.

    Rude people who won't offer their seat up to someone who is obviously elderly.

    I agree with you, but sometimes people just do it for their mothers. Sure wouldn't you scale mountains in a single bound, if your mother needed it? Religion isn't sacred - the mammy is sacred. I gave up the whole religion thing a long time ago, but still go to anniversary masses and other such occasions, as it keeps folks happy. I don't mind giving up an hour of my time for something I don't believe in, if it will make someone else happier. Kind of like gardening.

    Not baptising your child is great way of narrowing down the choice of schools available to them.

    Rant: why the state did not take over all schools from the religious orders as part of child abuse settlement. Then we wouldn't have to baptise our kids if we didn't want to.

    So when you're finished taking those nude selfies lets sit down to a vagan lunch and talk about Jesus.

    You can stand.

    Irony is doing this maintains the status quo. Church gets to say "sure look at all the young people baptising their children."

    Edit: Should add that I wouldn't blame anyone for doing so. Ridiculous situation.

    Tradition. The church got in early and still do it better than anyone else.

    True for you barry but it's something I feel very strongly about even when everything's tickety-boo in my world;)

    .

    I don't fall for that at all. All deliberate and manufactured. These celebs do nothing without planning and advice. It's all choreographed. Privacy my ar%e! They can arrive to awards ceremonies dressed like burlesque dancers yet cry if a couple of saucy snaps get leaked?:rolleyes:

    I don't agree. You can still avail of the church if you aren't a regular attender. It's a service, and it is needed.
