RE: we talk too much

Molly, here's our local equivalent, judging from there driving I think they take it quite seriously

RE: we talk too much

Molly, .........only in Ireland

RE: we talk too much

Biff, is it true, I heard from someone in the next valley that in order to get round import duty after Brexit you're having a tunnel dug to Gibraltar

RE: we talk too much

Mimi, I've long believed in equal rights for women that's equal not preferential, if a woman drops a box containing some heavy electrical item on my nice square loaf of bread she just as likely to end up wearing it on her head as a man

RE: we talk too much

I've always said it would be dangerous for me to know too much Spanish, then I just know I'd be tempted to tell them what I'm thinking but when the person behind me starts pushing my shopping along the belt so they can make room for theres I have a face that looks just this seems to work

RE: Sell-By Date

Non, suppose it must be possibly also why you get upright & chest freezers depending on your requirements

RE: Sell-By Date

Most fresh food such as veg I freeze so I can have just the amount I want at the time should I be doing this with relationships, keep a few in the freezer just in case

RE: Meeting up ...

Molly, wrapping your hair in plastic overnight you certainly know how to live in Cork

RE: RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL

Wen, yes I'm good thanks

"when you speak and act what is really in your heart and that is for the good" - sounds ok as long as you agree with what's being said, if some jihadi from IS is spouting off about chopping heads off non believers I'm hardly going to respect him

RE: Meeting up ...

Molly, you don't drink coffee how do you survive

RE: Meeting up ...

Have the coffee, you'll never know otherwise

RE: I was doing some thinking

Non, I had some nice cars back then, I wasn't about to ruin them by carving notches in the seats

RE: I was doing some thinking

I grew up in the 60's/70's, what should I write when I never got round to finding out there names

RE: When you go on holiday

I'm quite happy to share a shower with strangers as long as of course they're young ladies who're good with a sponge

RE: No pressure

Non, I see that article as so wrong it totally ignores development & assumes there will be time to adapt, the pace of change is only ever going one way, faster by the day

Crime is an ideal candidate for automation, a machine that climb buildings, pick locks etc etc, if it gets caught what they going to do, lock it up for life how long before every street corner has a robotic drug dealer selling drugs smuggled in by more machines, think of the unemployment in drugs industry

RE: No pressure

Mimi, it won't be long before airlines start trying to convince people that robots are better in an emergency, a fireproof flight attendant to help you out for example, insurance companies will love it, if the plane crashes without a human crew that's say 5 less to pay out for

RE: No pressure

When the Terminator films first came out they were seen as science fiction, more & more they're looking like science fact Personally I battle the rise of the machines where ever possible, if I buy one item in the supermarket I take it to a human operated checkout, I refuse to talk Spanish to a petrol pump & am prepared to pay extra for an attendant to fill my car, unfortunately Spanish banks refuse to have enough staff to reduce waiting time to a reasonable level, typical is 30 minutes to draw cash, so I closed my Spanish account but that does mean using an ATM for the British one but the move to automation is imo probably the biggest threat to civilization & potentially more devastating that nuclear holocaust or asteroid strike

RE: Swan song

RE: BEWARE !!!

RE: BEWARE !!!

There's been a lot of talk of that in the news recently, so he has that in common with a whole load of politicians

RE: BEWARE !!!

I knew that but Spit the dog is real

RE: Halloween in Spain?

I heartedly recommend living up a mountain, no a sign of a child all night mind you I did take the precaution of laying land mines in road earlier, just in case

RE: Man Flu- Its Real

I just noticed on the Coffin Company site they have a section called "Customer Testimonials"

RE: Man Flu- Its Real

Map, a man in your condition shouldn't be thinking about food............ think of the pallbearers

RE: Man Flu- Its Real

Map, if Mimi just makes the mix & doesn't bake them they could be given intravenously

RE: Man Flu- Its Real

Mimi, we may not need quite as many cupcakes as I first feared I forgot Map won't be there to eat them

RE: Man Flu- Its Real

Mimi, we're going to need a serious number of cupcakes for the wake

RE: Man Flu- Its Real

I see The Coffin Company is offering free delivery at the moment

RE: Man Flu- Its Real

Has air traffic control been alerted in case the air ambulance needs to land on your roof failing that the local police should close off your street to make sure an ambulance has a place to park it may after all need to be there on standby for at least a week

RE: Old walls

Word on the street your wall just got a year older
