    Bedside, taking a badly needed nap after an extremely hectic day work wise and poor sleep last night - got my first Covid jab (AstraZeneca) and all seems to be fine. :)

    Another exciting Wednesday at home here!

    I might join G later for a few midweek beers.

    Not much better here. My exciting moment today was buying a screen cleaning kit for the tech desk and other screens in the house. I've just started the Wednesday night beers but I so so and really so miss a high stool in a bar. Four pints and home after a bit of a natter. School is back next Monday for Ms G so I'm getting back into the groove of an early night and a 7am alarm clock call.:eek:

    The front door is fixed now, what a relief :D

    Caretaker and committee not very happy as the thing that broke it was people slamming the door, instead of shutting it gently, and it cost thousands to fix. We were all given a warning tonight

    Very busy day tomorrow, have my personal assistant first thing, then a phone appointment with neurology (I'm considering botox or steroid injections for my migraines), and then I have my appointment for my vaccine. Gonna try to get an early night tonight. Just hope that my personal assistant isn't late arriving or the neurology doctor doesn't ring early

    Homeside. Not sure where it's coming from, but I'm absolutely fed up with everything.

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    A beautiful morning .. 26c just ruined by a massive thunderstorm and now getting colder.

    The treadmill got fixed finally....too much abuse for the past year.

    Went to work, for a takeaway lunch the went to see the military.

    Some little pr§ck gave me a little pri€ck and apparently I am vaccinated.

    All in all a boring day, now back to work after a cup of barry’s

    We're all fed up with everything thomil. and anyone who says they aren't are liars. I have great days and weekends here, but ultimately it's generally crap. Stay cool!

    Wonder where Dave has disappeared to.

    It wasn't me. I may be on a hair trigger at the moment but all the posters here are in my good books ;)

    I miss Dave and his snaps, but this place does have a way to drive you out sometimes. I'm real close.:mad:

    Its a new type of virus. Created in Merrion St, spreading through the country. I've had it for a good while now. That its reached Cork must mean that the whole country will succumb within the next few days.

    I'm homeside, trying to resist peeking at Dr Pimple Popper ( for those that find this an irresistible fascination : 21:00 - 22:00 Hrs 'Really' channel ) :P

    At this point, I'd take that, the revelation that we're about to get hit by a gamma ray burst, an asteroid or that vacuum decay has set in as a relief.

    Deskside, working away in Galaxy Zoo to make me feel at least somewhat productive.

    Cocos Law creates two new offences which criminalise the non-consensual distribution of coco-pops. The first offence deals with the distribution of boxes of coco-pops without consent and with the intent to get the recipient hooked on the chocolatey goodness that only coco-pops can provide, the way you become all happy as you munch, crunch and chew those little chocolate covered Rice Krispie style treats.
    The second offence relates to the way the recipient becomes hooked on the manner in which the coco-pops turn the milk all chocolatey, how you sit there gooey eyed and marvel as the pale coloured milk slowly turns to a bowl of chocolate heaven, captivating you in the process. Now you are hooked on coco-pops and will buy them forever more.
    Cocos law aims to put a stop to this fiasco once and for all!

    This is NOT to be confused with 'cuckoos law', which is a separate law deeming that anyone who owns a cuckoo clock in this day and age is either a very old person or a total nutter.

    Her family knew her as Coco but her name was
    Nicole Fox (aged 21) who died by suicide following years of online bullying.

    Why would anyone disrespect or belittle legislation brought in to counteract online bullying and harassment?

    Nicole's Mum fought tirelessly to help others bringing in the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act 2020, known as Coco’s Law.

    Disgrace of toxic post degrading a family who fought for their daughter.

    Shame on anyone thanking it.

    A young girl died tragically and needlessly because of online bullying.

    I really really don't think any disrespect or belittling was intended. Playing with words and making things light doesn't have to equal disrespect.

    Edited as not intention to backseat Mod.

    I've followed the work Nicole's Mum did in respect of Coco's Law and making light of it while not intentional would be upsetting for her.

    I think Batman must have been needed for the enforcement of Covid legislation. I hope he's managed to catch a few sunrises anyway.

    About to have my 4th beer!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭The Inbetween is mine


    I had beer today, I had a porterhouse chocolate truffle stout, it wasn't great.
    Left Hand nitro stout on the other band is my go-to stout...yummy

    Deskside with Strepsils & Lemsip - The breakfast of champions, eh?

    At least now I know why I felt like an armed land mine last night…

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Feel better soon, hopefully it's not the dreaded C.

    I doubt it, given that my head is clogged up worse than the M50 on a particularly bad day. I think it‘s my standard-issue head cold showing itself again. It just had to happen during end of quarter review time… :mad:

    Cold?

    Oh Jesus, I meant Covid! The dreaded C usually means cancer.

    Glad to hear it's just a headcold though.
