Nah.

SplittheDubs into north and south or laaayve it be?

25-05-2019 2:02am

Dubs are dreadful people, get rid asap.

A) Are you Irish?

Regardless of your previous answer, do you remember your first bona fide friendship with a foreigner? Not just meeting one, I mean the first time you thought of one as a friend? No Nordies, but other regular Brits can be included.

One of my best friends is a guy I've never met, nor even spoken to on the phone.

He's an Israeli I met in one of the old MSN chatrooms. I had just returned from UN service in Lebanon and mentioned this in the chatroom.. He contacted me and we struck up a conversation and friendship which has lasted in 2001.

Not long after I met another foreigner who was to become a close friend, training partner and team mate (when he was granted Irish citizenship he represented Ireland alongside me in Judo competitions).

He's Iranian, then through me he became friends with my Jewish Israeli friend.

I've no plans to meet my Israeli buddy but when his niece was about to join the Israeli Defence Force he asked me would I take to her about the Lebanese side of the border and my job as a soldier with UNIFIL as she was about to serve in the northern command.

I've stayed in touch with her and have met her a number of times when she's visited Ireland (after her service), and I've been invited to her wedding.

All this through an old MSN chatroom!.. Prior to that I don't recall any particular foreign friends.

Would you prefer to have brains or brawn?.. (I've brawn, would prefer brains).

Very interesting story.

Brains ..... although i think both brains and brawn can be limited somewhat by genetics .

Are you going out tonight?

Trigger Happy · 25-05-2019 5:28pm

I have as I was in a local choir

Chicken or Pork

RMAOK · 25-05-2019 10:58pm

Pork

Why do people often say that strange meat often tastes like chicken?

jimbobaloobob · 26-05-2019 12:05am

Nothing much changed except new politicians from Monday.

Have you ever fallen asleep on a bus? If so, where was the worst place you ended up?

jimbobaloobob · 26-05-2019 12:26am

Years ago i feel asleep on Fedas bus leaving Galway, was supposed to get off in Sligo, woke and i was nearly in Letterkenny.
It was late on a Sunday night so i ended up having to get a B&B.

Have you stayed in any B&B guesthouses, if you have what was your experience of them?

I did.

I worked for AIB and stayed in some awful shyteholes.

Is "dreams" from Fleetwood Mac one of your favourite songs of all time?

jimbobaloobob · 26-05-2019 12:34am

Its one of my favourite, but to put a list together of favourites would be endless.

Can you think of a popular song that has the work Nescafe in it? Heard it on the radio today and it got me thinking do musicians place bets with each other to wrangle words into their songs like you hear done in best man speeches at weddings.

REM's The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight:

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or black-eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice....

What did you want to do but didn't do and now it haunts you?

Learn to play the drums.

What musical instruments can you play?

jimbobaloobob · 26-05-2019 12:50am

I can play drums, keyboards and a number of string and percussion instruments.
I cant read music and don't understand notes (like play something in G, D, A )i wouldn't know where to start.

Can you reverse a vehicle with only using your mirrors? No looking behind or throwing the head out the window?

26-05-2019 10:00am

No, in fact I can't even drive.

Not asking for a number, just yes or no, can you give a definite number for the sexual partners you have had, either off the top of your head or thinking about it for no more than a few minutes?

Trigger Happy · 26-05-2019 10:23am

No. I can’t. More due to bad memory than large number.

Are you good at staying in touch with old friends?

RMAOK · 26-05-2019 10:26am

No - terrible in fact. If they don't keep in contact with me, I'd rarely make contact with them.

Did you vote for a green party candidate in the elections?

I didn't vote, I never have except for the gay marriage referendum and only because some friends asked me to. Politics is bullshít, they're all self-serving cúnts no matter who is elected.

Do you socialise as much now as you did 5 years ago?

RMAOK · 26-05-2019 12:46pm

It's much the same tbh

Do you grow your own vegetables?

Trigger Happy · 26-05-2019 1:10pm

RMAOK · 26-05-2019 1:11pm

Very lazy tbh

Is that a good way to spend a Sunday?

Autosport · 26-05-2019 1:22pm

A great way
