Aw that was lovely (Laus story across the 2 threads). Ruth (OH) and I were listening to the radio last night at dinner time and there was a bit on about what people should look for in relationships and she turned it down and told me why she was with me and i recipricated and it was so lovely. That thread gives me the same warm fluffy feeling.

maybe if you'd found some chick to give poker lessons to you might have stuck around and you'd have a rosemantic online love story to tell us all now

...maybe you'd have ended up as Mr Flushdraw!!

maybe don't tell your wife that reading a thread about two internet strangers, gives you the exact same feeling as when she opens her soul and tells you why she loves you!!

Aww god that was a lovely read for my lunchbreak! I don't have a clue why I'm with Mr Molly. He catches spiders so I don't have to? He takes out the bins? He washes the dishes?

How does he manage to do all 3 at the same time? Throw the dishes frisbee style at the spider and knock it and the dish into the bin? Thats pretty cool tbf.

Nah come on we can do better than that :pac:

Sink spiders are pretty cool. It has to be something at least pretty cool.

Like if one of you has a team of ukelele playing cats, that would warrant a change.

Thread title invalid.

If they've been in there long enough to warrant it being the thread title, I don't think it's Molly's sink any more.

I believe it's disputed territory that changes hands regularly. Today its Molly's...tomorrow......???

Most of us lost interest in poker, think my hubby is one of the last diehards! I haven't played online since I had a wee stint in hospital 3 years ago, all us wimminz in the ward got together, got into trouble off the ward sister for having too much fun in the place!

The normal nurses thought it was great craic, and came in to watch! together we took down a small tourney. Keep in touch with two of the girls to this day. One is a serious poker player.

All weekend including during the rugby game :mad:

Local parade cancelled, which is tragic, as I was very much looking forward to missing the last 15 minutes of the rugby to go stand in the rain and watch a bunch of school kids with shamrocks on their cheeks waving and walking. Oh well <cracks open a can>

Wait - your anniversary is the day after patricks day?
How hung over were your wedding guests?

Not too hungover. We started at 3pm, so everyone had a lie in or the hair of the dog in them for the ceremony.

Hometown parade was cancelled for us too (in Celbridge). I wouldn't have gone, but my mother lost the opportunity to bring my kids on our behalf.

Triceratops Ballet · 16-03-2018 11:10am

Oh ****. We're neighbours.

Are you the guy with the monster truck who insists on walking his daughter to school down the middle of the road instead of on the path? I'm the douche who keeps trying to run you over!

quickbeam · 16-03-2018 11:21am

Parkrun in the morning. Catch up on reading and TV for the rest of the day.

Why was Celbridge parade cancelled?

Not enough interest in it.
I'd say a huge part of that is the overlap with the end of the Rugby, upon which our shot at a 3rd Grand Slam hangs (and given it's 9 years since the last one and we've only done it twice in the last 70ish years, that's a pretty big deal even to casuals like myself who think of it as picky-uppy-football. When you consider that for any given group in the parade you need to find a whole bunch of adults willing to bring the kids out and march iwth them, then a whole bunch of other adults willing to watch them from the sidelines, and each business represented requires a bunch of adults to drive the truck with the inflatable tennisball man on the back of it, it's a struggle at the best of time. With bad weather forecast and a major sporting event in the offing I don't think they had much of a chance.

GAA club have a very expensive Ceilí on, unless you scam it by bringing your 8 children and buying a family ticket. There's another on earlier in Castletown House, overlaps wit hthe start of the rugby but starts early enough that you can get in, do a luasca or to and be home in time for tinnies.

A quiet one tonight, didn't sleep great last night and am wrecked this morning!
Have a few friends over for a BBQ in the front balcony and the lads will be watching the match on the projector screen which we are going to put up in the back balcony!

Any kids will be downstairs away from the adults and making sure they don't wreck our heads.

Before that I am heading into town to see whats happening, St Julian's is pretty mad at St Paddy's and this year will be even more wild with it falling on the Saturday!

Long weekend here as well. All great
