RE: Shocked and Rocked!!

Well said Kay

As Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach kept quoting to each other in a famous film....There are two types of people in this world my friend.. those with loaded guns and those who dig, you dig..
Or....there are two types of spurs my friend, those that come in by the door and those that come in by the window...

It's nice to know that there are ladies like you out there who are not prone to gossip

RE: Shocked and Rocked!!

Your opinions are yours and you are entitled to say what you feel. There's no need for you to mention that...that's a given.
But 3 people have been questioning your "shopping" tactics and it shows a certain type of personality.
You know what, I never thought about a relationship being likened to buying a second hand car but I know what you mean. Next time I meet a woman I'm interested in, I must ask her how's the old gearbox and does it need much oil

RE: Leaving EU.

I'd say ur a bit optimistic with the 700 billion euro lost from
our fish stocks. Would we land fish worth an average of 17 billion
every year for the past 42 years
Maybe u meant millions.
It's true to say that we could have built our fishing industry a lot bigger and increased turnover times 20 if we were not part of eu
rules and quotas.

RE: EU rip!

That happened me a few times

There I was driving along and almost crashed the car cause
I was assdistracted

RE: Travelling to Europe

Try the Ritz Carlton Arts Hotel there..
It's a tall building in the Port Olimpic area...you can see it
as the plane is about 5 minutes from landing.
Nice beaches and restaurants around and a massive casino right beside the hotel. Good Japanese restaurant in the Casino.
A bargain at €400 a night. Only 3 or 4 rooms per floor with panoramic views, really modern, electric blinds etc. A tub of "smarties" on top of the minibar for some reason. Bad idea...
Had a smartie fight coming back to the room drunk at about 4am.
Brown stains on the sheets in the morning for the maid to find lol

It was the chocolate in the smarties...honestly

Big budget needed alright Topkaz A couple of grand for a w'end should cover it. But sure u could win that in the casino
Don't miss out on visiting the fresh food market on Las Ramblas if you're ever in Barcelona. La Boqueria....the largest market in Spain apparently.

RE: Self driving cars .

Hello Topaz? Are u being sponsored by the garage retailer?

And u not even havin a car

Are u Cameron Diaz or just a lookalike?

On the subject of cars, my new one has radar cruise control and will brake and stop by itself when u set it behind another vehicle.
Then it will accelerate on it's own to the speed u set it at when the vehicle in front is no longer in the way. At night, it dips main headlights when a car is coming towards you or u enter an area that is lit up. Puts main headlights on again when suitable. The handbrake is electronic. It activates and deactivates by itself.

Then there is lane departure warnings and messages telling you to stop and have a coffee.
The technology for self driving cars is out there. Just a matter of time before it's "total recall" or "blade runner"

RE: For The Guys

Margot Robbie was the actress from The Wolf of Wall Street.
She was on Graham Norton with Will Smith recently. They had just completed a movie together last year.
She's an Aussie and I think she said she was in Neighbours.
Kylie or Margot?

No contest...Margot every time

RE: For The Guys

None of the above.

Amber Heard or that new actress who was in Wolf of Wall St with
Leo de Caprio.

MITTYLAND(sic) beat Man Utd.

I'd say the weekly wage bill for the whole Mittyland squad
wouldn't pay the weekly wages for one Man Utd player.

What a bunch of overpaid useless players they are.

And ur man Lescott from Aston Villa after losing at home to
Liverpool 6-0.
I wonder how much he is being overpaid per week with his fancy cars.
I hope he gets paid what he is really worth when he is playing Championship football next year.

Leicester City are showing them all up this year.
I hope they win the league.

RE: Pet Peeves!

Witty, are you a woman who doesn't complain?

Let's get married so!

RE: Pet Peeves!

Government departments

Was getting nowhere in a phone queue for the passport office a few years ago, so rang the secretary of dept. of foreign affairs instead.
They gave me a direct line number in passport office and the person who answered was not happy and said "where did u get this number".
I said I had contacts and guess what I got my passport in the post the next day.

Most of the mobile phone companies don't want to talk to you either endless menus or online chat but try speaking to a human

You're not the only one with anger issues

RE: What's inside your mind part 29

Where are Zoe and Che gone?

Did they Farc off and join the Guiri army in Malaga?

Nice and sunny here btw

RE: Thought For Today!!

True enough...but they have to put up with a lot of crap during their playing career. Like sharing a room with some other smelly bloke u mightn't even like because the club wants this bonding nonsense

Anyway it's better to be rich and anonymous than rich and famous.
You can act "disgracefully" on a night out with the lads without some idiot with a camera putting ur pic in next days newspaper.

It's a case of pros and cons

RE: Thought For Today!!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY!

That reminds me of a stay in the Westin La Quinta hotel in Marbella a few years ago.(now called Melia La Quinta)
Fab hotel with 27 golf holes, a fab spa, Japanese restaurant on site etc.
After a late night out in Puerto Banus with some mates we surfaced for brekkie at the pool around 10am only to find a premiership football team all with glum faces sitting around looking at a whiteboard with "Thought for Today" written on it.
What a load of boll.x we laughed with our hangovers.
These famous faces were been treated like schoolboys no wonder they were pissed off. All that money and they couldn't have a drink and had to be in bed by 10pm
Later that trip we were in the hotel bar about 8pm enjoying cold beers and in comes the team and management to set up a "watch your opponents" video on one of the bar tvs. More laughter as we said adios and headed down the port for another night out.

RE: Love

Do you miss your grandad Che?

Are you "una hermana de Pablo"?

What are u doing medellin on the Irish forums anyway?

13 SECONDS OF FUN

The bride was in her wedding dress and wearing a pair of trainers

Stylish or wah!

13 SECONDS OF FUN

On RTE NEWS did you see the Irish couple who went to Vegas and
got married yesterday?
That's an awful lot of money spent for just

13 seconds of fun

RE: Rugby World Cup 2015

We'll have to beat them aussies if we want to win it

Hope we murder Italy tomorrow and then beat the French

RE: Rugby World Cup 2015

Do I get a very slight hint of bias against the English there Stan?

Who is an Englishman these days anyway?

Is it?(said in appropriate accents)
"Goodness gracious me, I am an Englishman" or
"I am an Englishman, from Jamaica man" or
a South African batsman in their cricket team

And they had the nerve to mention the grandparents rule that allowed some footballers to play for the Irish soccer team.

Australia to shade it! Scotland v SA should be well worth a look also

RE: car insurance

In the car today I heard the sad story of an insured family on holiday when one of their number had a fatal accident.
They had travel insurance and had tremendous difficulty trying to get their loved one repatriated to Ireland when dealing with the insurance company. In the end a charity in Ireland had to come up with the money before the deceased could be returned home.
Another great example of zero compassion from an insurance company given the circumstances and customer service at it's worst.
On Liveline today.

Available to listen if u want on on recent liveline programmes. todays date 29th Sept.

RE: car insurance

They are a business the same as any other business.
Don't believe all that they say!

A friend of mine was paying about €400 car insurance and his renewal was over €800...that doesn't make sense....have those "actuaries" who are highly paid in these insurance companies, underestimated the risks and claims by as much as 100% .....of course they haven't.
To test this, I entered the exact details of my friend for an online quote with the very same company he was with..the only things I changed were his name and address(same housing estate but a street away), same year of age but different month, employment details etc. exactly the same....guess what? the quote was for €430.
Who's scamming who???
Is there any business out there that's entitled to a guaranteed profit? Insurance companies seem to think they are.
If "x" insurance company loses money, they say we will put our premiums up to guarantee we make a profit...
This is total bull....If "x" miscalculated and were stupid enough to insure bad risks, we, the customer should say "tough luck" and get our insurance from company "y"
If Tesco said, we've had a very bad year and goods to the value of 2 billion were pilfered from our stores so we have to put our prices up by 50%. Sorry but you the customer has to pay for our losses!
Eh no! You say, I don't give a fluk if you lost 100 billion and have to close, I will do my shopping at Supervalu or whoever if that happens.
I have my own life and business to worry about without having to worry if you make a profit or not...
This is proper business at work

RE: GAA Thread

I didn't know Waterford was in Kerry



Well done Dublin



The best team won

RE: GAA Thread

Waiting for the backlash!

RE: GAA Thread

The before and after sure are two different looks

RE: GAA Thread

Yeah Stan!

Seen her interviewed after the game, face spots and all

Just seen her now on 6 o clock news...it's amazing what a bit of
warpaint can do
And is that hair dyed??? It sure is black

RE: Best 80's movie EVER!!

Sky have a Sky movies 80's channel at the moment.

There were a hell of a lot of good 80's movies..some I watched just recently and some classics I remember.

Planes, trains and automobiles- "I have 2 dollars and a casio"
Airplane
Back to the future
Working girl -Sigourney Weaver,Harrison Ford & Melanie Griffith
Crocodile Dundee
Beverly hills cop
Ferris buellers day off
The Terminator
Highlander -great Queen soundtrack
Flash Gordon - more Queen
Trading places
Scarface
Blade runner
Wall st
Die hard
Witness
Rainman - I'm an excellent driver
Full metal jacket
Platoon

Scarface is one of my favorites but it could be late 1970's as it
is one of Pacino's early movies.

Just remembered Cocoon was on tv recently and one that makes me laugh I haven't seen in a while, The Three Amigos.
"My little buttercup has the sweetest smile" scene in the tough Mexican bar is classic.

Cool hand Luke...is that 80's?

RE: GAA Thread

I can see you are the type that doesn't like to be told he's wrong.
When u finally woke up today you had to make a worthless reply to 3 different posters on this thread.
Get a life
Be sure you let me know when Wexford win the All-Ireland for Ulster
As for you sarcasm get a life! really

RE: GAA Thread

Galway have won only one Leinster hurling championship but
numerous Connaught titles.
Ask a Galway man if he considers winning an All-Ireland if it's
for Leinster.
Yes they can win the Leinster championship and that's just since 2009.

RE: GAA Thread

I think you know I meant in a local geographic way.

Just like Wexford. As a neighbour county I can get there in 45 mins and I go there regularly. Spend my money there etc.
If wexford are playing cork should I support cork?

Cork, Galway, Killarney....all lovely places for a weekend away
but if it aint Kildare I support local counties.
No bitterness or jealousy here

RE: GAA Thread

Galway were poor in second half.

Well done Kilkenny! Another Leinster win
