RE: Just back to tell you all.......

Oooh Kayt, what fantastic news !! And your little guy will have a lil sis/brother to keep him company too. I'm absolutely delighted for you

RE: Congratulations to Ecoprincess and ECowarrior on their Engagement

Oh my gosh, nearly cried when I read this, such wonderful news!!
Congratulations to you both

RE: Check this out

This is definitely a hoax - at the top left hand corner of the screen, instead of "In Association with" it says "In Accusation with"...and the wording under 'Buyer of Ticket' & 'Beneficiary of Ticket' is not exactly grammatically correct either.

Someone trying to cause a whole lot of trouble for the Auctioneers ???

RE: CS Event

Hiya P,
Not quite so much fun when you're on the other end of the stick, I returned from a hol once to find half my kitchen ceiling painted a different shade of white to the rest of it. Seems the teen jungle drums had spread the 'free gaff' word around in my absence.
Another friend had to return home early from hols to find the back garden littered with tents, the bodies of those who didn't quite make it into the tent, empty bottles, etc.
Big John Deere's suggestion to 'just turn up without telling them' made me think the foregoing was what he had in mind

RE: CS Event

That's bit like the teens finding out a friend's parents are away on hols & they all turn up at the house with their own booze in tow.

RE: dissapearance

Hi Petal, I think Oslo is referring to the excerpt from the hotmail email included in the thread earlier today....
Glad to hear the gardai took the report seriously and acted.
Too often in recent years we read the aftermath of internet sociopaths' actions in the tabloids, often horrific stories. And we wonder how and why the situation could become so out of control.
Early intervention is the key.
I can totally understand you feeling on edge but do know there are lots of people (not just in Ireland) reading these threads & who only wish to try and offer you as much support as possible.

RE: Chuck Norris

In Munster, we replace the name Chuck Norris in all of the above with Paul O'Connell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: any success stories or just we're wasting our time?

Oh sorry to see you're leaving us again...but am delighted it's for a very good reason.
Wishing you both love and happiness

RE: How to speak with an Irish Accent...

Ah but you must remember Michael Flatley's accent is Chicago/Irish.
I have relatives who emigrated to the States, some 40 yrs ago, and their accents are unusual to say the least - New York/Irish, Boston/Irish, Florida/Irish...all different

RE: Who's on your list????

Eric Bana
Rocco Di Spirito
Keanu Reeves
Liam Neeson
Robert Downey Jnr.

RE: yippeeeeee!!! gotta job today!!!

Congratulations !! Great to hear good news.
You can go shopping for new threads, or maybe party gear

Useful Info

You gonna tell TG what you've done before or after the squad car arrives

Useful Info

Really ? I must try that the next time I've forgotten where I parked

Useful Info

Oh really?? I was going to try that one later too...

Useful Info

I know !! I could have done with the car one few yrs ago, pulled up outside my mother's gate & a child's bike in the way. Got out of the car, moved the bike but when I tried to get back into my car, the door had self-locked. I was waiting 2 hrs for AA to come & the car was running & low in petrol too

Useful Info

Got this by email, thought I'd post it here -



THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO

There are a few things that can be done in times of emergencies.

FIRST
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.

If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry?
This may come in handy someday.
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end.
Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object.
You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has
the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors.

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and
it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'

THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low.
To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number,
key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
When your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.
They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card,
your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back,but at least you know that whoever stole it
can't use/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

*** ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know***
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse.
For example, if your pin number is 1234,
then you would put in 4321.
The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.
The machine will still give you the money you requested,
but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.
This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers
however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it.

RE: whats an acceptable age difference?

Depends on the age group I think.
Guys in their 20s are often not as mature as girls of same age.
Male maturity takes quite a bashing tho and varies alot from one's life experiences.
A guy, say mid to late 30s, with a woman 10 yrs older, may still want to be a father and she may not be able to have any more children.
Sometimes its good to get practicalities addressed early on, (which may not be so romantic) to save heartache later on.
But if both are on the same page, then age shouldn't be an issue.

RE: Famous People Chain

John B. Keane's writing raised eyebrows back in the day, seems troublesome follows the Keanes

RE: Famous People Chain

Roy Keane inspired many but the best was I Keano

RE: What NOT to say on your first date?

Yeah, bringing the friend for company is a howl too...plus going off to chat to the mates for half an hour...

Ermmm, hate to ask, but have you actually done any of what you posted???

RE: What NOT to say on your first date?

Actually all the self-complimentary ones are brill...
Imagine really saying that to a girl on the 1st date
'Do I look good'
'Do you like my hair'....
If there was ever a way to knock the wind out of a girl, that has to be it, she'd never see that coming

RE: What NOT to say on your first date?

Admiring your own handiwork I'm trying to pick out the best of em
Think the 'smell my armpits' one &
'the walk home will do you good' cracked me up the most

RE: What NOT to say on your first date?

I get the feeling that was only the tip of the iceberg

RE: What NOT to say on your first date?

OMG that's hilarious, I even read all 8 pages, and the funniest part of all is he's been apologising for the last 3 hrs & then carries on spitting them out

RE: Selling useful items.

My mother used always say, "if you hold onto something long enough you'll find a use for it". I have tended to live by that & when I do a clear-out every so often, I only throw away the items I've had the longest.
Do what I did, lol, get yourself a BIG garden shed, put in lots of shelves & hooks to hang things & store items by reference to their use, so you'll always be able to find what you're looking for.
Sounds ridiculously organised, LOL, but that's my system & it works for me.

RE: Six Nations..Official Thread..

If I had my way, the Ireland Team would consist of only Munster players

Problem is there's so much unhealthy rivalry between Munster & Leinster now, they can't seem to form an effective, functioning team for Ireland. Quite apart from the fact that they each play a completely different style of rugby and gameplan at club level.
Declan Kidney won't take any rubbish tho so I'm hoping he can sort out the problems the Irish team have been having the last few years.
But yes, I love the 6 Nations too and looking forward to it.
