    Here's one to satisfy the inner bitch.;)

    Mother of the Bride

    HOW TO BE A GRACIOUS


    Maeve's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement.................Not even her parent's nasty divorce...

    Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best
    dressed mother of the bride ever!

    A week later, Maeve was horrified to learn that her father's new
    young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother!

    Maeve asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she
    refused.

    'Absolutely not, I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm
    wearing it,' she replied...

    Maeve told her mother who graciously said, 'Never mind sweetheart.
    I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.'
    A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress.

    When they stopped for lunch, Maeve asked her mother, 'Aren't you going
    to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it.

    Her mother just smiled and replied, 'Of course I do, dear.
    I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding..'

    NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO WOULDN'T ENJOY
    THIS STORY

    The Space Shuttle docked with the International Space Station earlier this evening and at around 11pm Irish time tonight you might see it over the Waterford sky. Sky is kind of clear at the moment so fingers crossed.

    “This is he biggest object ever assembled in space and it should be a thousand times brighter than the brightest star in the sky making this the most incredible sight anyone has ever seen from Ireland,” said David Moore, chairman of Astronomy Ireland.

    More info about it here.

    Hey Ronyponyboi, this is the only scam you should be aware off.

    Gardai are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties & local pubs to
    be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman.

    Many females use a date rape drug on the market called 'Beer.'

    The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in
    bottles, cans, or from taps and in large 'kegs'. Beer is used by female
    sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to
    go home and sleep with them.

    A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then
    simply ask him home for no strings attached sex.

    Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers,
    men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking
    women to whom they would normally not be attracted.

    After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of
    exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague
    feeling that 'something bad' occurred.

    At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's
    savings, in a familiar scam known as 'a relationship.'

    In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the
    unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment
    referred to as 'marriage.' Men are much more susceptible to this scam
    after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.

    If you fall victim to this 'Beer' scam and the women administering it,
    there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your
    shocking encounter with similarly victimized men.

    For the support group nearest you, just look up 'Golf Courses' in the
    phone book.

    For a video to see how beer works click here:
    Beer Demo

    Please! Forward this warning to every male you know.

    :D:D:D

    Good one man

    Today is a landmark day for my hubby and myself, we paid off our mortgage which is such a relief as both of us are self-employed and wouldn't get anything from the state if we don't have work, hubby a carpenter so working from week to week and don't know what work he'll have over the winter.

    Well done:) bet that's a load off. I've still a while to go, but that's the goal. Being self-employed is worrysome at the best of times, but it's desperate at the moment facing winter and christmas. Just remember we are not alone there are plenty out there in the same boat....

    Yup, I go to Mount Sion actually. It was really ridiculous though.. Like a 100 or less even DLS lads came over but our principal came out and scared them sh**less.. xD then they tried to go to our other gates on the other side of the road, and all of Mount Sion was waiting them there, so they went off... The whole thing ended without a bloody punch.. Actually noo, theres a lad in 2nd year, he went to People's Park that day and gave some DLS guy a beating.. They got even madder after that :D

    His photo is in this week's News & Star but he's got his clothes on and is being escorted by the Gardai.

  • Registered Users Posts: 338 ✭✭Clano


    jesus thats deadly!!!! some achievement i worked with a lad from the north all last year while i was working in Intel he won it before and he was on placement there on the baclk of the course,. He more or less has a garunteed job there when he finishes college aswell. Hope your son is as lucky! well done


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,608 ✭✭✭deisemum


    There was a record number of entries this year and I think it's a great reflection on the science teachers, schools and pupils themselves when you see such high standards.

    What I find sickening is how the politicians are full of fake praise for them yet slash the science budget in schools.

    As for my son and his team mates they've had a great week in Dublin and as they're only in 2nd year they have a few more years to enter again. His science teacher is great and god love her she took them ice skating 3 nights on the trot.

    Wasnt sure should I put this in events,its own thread or here so I decided this would be a good place to start.
    Anyone know anything that can be done thursday evening after 8 or so that isnt cinema or restaurant? Need to make plans and ive no idea what to do!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    Your better off with your own thread man, not many people look in here i'd say. My advice:

    Bowling
    Pool
    Pub
    Really nice pub ie castle or something
