    Is playing computer games considered childish?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,166 ✭✭✭Still waters


    I still eat my ice cream with a small spoon, the big spoon makes it go too fast. Memories of my mother giving me the bowl with the small spoon when i was only a small lad come flooding back without fail, every single time

    I love flicking elastic bands across the office and pretending I haven't a clue what's going on.

    Mixing beans with my spuds as it if were cement I was mixing with sand, tastes that bit more delish than eating them seperate.

    Painting on the walls.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Seeing how far back I can get from the toilet when I’m having a pish.

    Or flushing the toilet when I start to pish and ‘racing’ the cistern.

    Two things that present a greater challenge the older I get! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    I still play kerbs/curbs/paths on my road. I destroy all the kids in my estate at it.



    Except Emma, she's bloody good the little ginger rat.

    I love the smell of plasticine. Bit lovely blocks of coloured malleable straws. Takes me back 4 decades to Rhona’s playschool.

    That post just warmed the cockles of my heart no end.

    For me its ice cream in coca cola with a straw. Memories of the Soda Stream instead of coke and insemination straws instead of real straws.


    Yeah, you read that right:-)

    Talking nonsense words and singing in a cartoon voice to my cats. Popular tunes with the lyrics adjusted to cat themes. They think I'm insane. I swear I've seen expressions of utter contemt on their faces at times.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    I buy myself the occasional Kinder Surprise. They're not as good as they were years ago but sometimes you get something good in them.

    I like the odd cartoon. I watched this on Netflix a while ago and thought it was great.

    Collecting everything and anything to do with Jurassic Park.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭foxy farmer


    The odd morning i catch an episode of Shaun The Sheep. Whether your 7 or 77 it's worth a watch. Guaranteed to rise a chuckle or 2. The old lady with the handbag is priceless and the 3 pigs should be shot into space along with the cat - evil bastids!!

    The odd morning? I binge that shìt on Netflix like there's no tomorrow. Massively underrated.

    Not that I enjoy it but I noticed a while ago that the first thing I do when I go over to my mam's house is check the fridge to see if they have any 'good' stuff in it! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,158 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    Soft boiled egg mashed in a mug , with salt and pepper a knob of butter mixed together with breadcrumbs .

    There really is no better way to eat ice cream. Mums just know.

    Lego, I have tons of the stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    If no-one is around I run up the stairs on all fours.

    I'm a sucker for Disney films as well.

    I was scared of the dark as a kid so I reach into a room and turn on the light before I'd step in. Fear is gone, habit remains!

    Cornflakes with hot milk. (Occasionally.) I know...I know..
    Talking to sheep, cows or donkeys in the fields as I walk past.
    Puting Vicks on me if I feel sick. Even if it's not relevant to the sickness.

    Gerry Anderson TV progs :

    Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet, UFO, and Space 1999.

    I still enjoy looking at them, even though I know each episode off by heart now.

    Thunderbirds are GO! and Spectrum is Green. :)

    Its called beast-mode, fastest way to climb some stairs.

    If I'm walking around my house and nobodys round, put out my hand, make "thwip" sounds and pretend I'm Spiderman swinging along.

    Also cartoons...Avatar:TLA and the 90's Batman would bate the s***e out of most modern TV.

    Hide & Go Seek

    Loving the re-run of Space 1999 currently on Forces TV.

    Making race car noises with the trolley in the supermarket.
    A little mean but sometimes still laugh if someone falls, so I guess laughing at inappropriate things. I wouldn't let them see me laughing :)
