Howaya N, Nothing new with me, Locked up for the weekend again lol. Wont make the great escape til Monday. How are things with you? I just realize how old I am when I am reminded of what I remember lol
Ah..dunno what this post is about..Nvoiris looks great, Crazy legs is just crazy, Irish eyes looks great... I myself have an appointment in specsavers tomorrow They do a deal for auld ones on Paddy's day if you pretend you are Muslim...no offence to Muslims To OP...Sure not a lot of us are self confident, I think that we can only hope to meet people who are approchable (is that a word? ) sure we just have to batter on..best of luck
Fabulous pic Modern I sleep in a bed, though I did sleep in a hayshed in Lisdoonvarna for two nights...it was the 80's Rory Gallagher and Van Morrison..not in the hayshed...at the festival Oh, depends on the weather and the situation Pj's and woolly socks...trendy or what
Hiya C. Maybe an idea for meeting up so go for a meal and see a good play? I would go on my own cos I am past the stage of caring lol but obviously it is much more enjoyable to have company. Last night I took a group of people as I was there in a work capacity and it was fantastic. Keep an eye out for Oscar in Dublin and I will go with you
I love Plays, I was going to say "Going to the Theatre" but that might sound pretentious and I have not been near a theatre for years...possibly even a decade Anyway, I think that seeing a play is one of the best forms of entertainment ever. I went to see a local production of " My Fair Lady" last night and it was outstanding...really enjoyable. My next play I hope will be something by Oscar Wilde...love him but I have never seen any of his plays, keep missing them when they are on in Dublin. Anyone else a fan of "The Theatre"? come on...lets be pretentious
Sorry thought putting dublin first ment it was my primary location which it is but am moving soon anyway and just spend the odd weekend in Fermanagh as it is.
I believe that we have one life to live. We make the best of it. Circumstances can mould our lives. That is what I belive destiny is. Free will on the other hand is dodgy I am not a theoligist or even that religious but I believe that the age old argument is that we were given free will and that is why we sin The commandments were laid down and when we question why God would allow us as people to act in such evil ways sometimes...we were told it was because we were given "Free Will".
Yeah but do any of us know what karma really means? I mean literally? I believe that we should all treat each other decently no matter what it means in the end...karma be damned
Just wondering ...if I came on here with a different profile..how many people would recognize me? I still think of myself as a newcomer sometimes even though I just realized that I am on here about a year and a half So would you guys recognize me if I showed up as an alter ego?? Oh Does alter ego actually mean other egg????
I know that regular forum goers recognize others straight away but I am just wondering would you guys recognize me?? Maybe I should take bets on it sure I would still be the same boring poster but being a bit of a divil... I am thinking of doing it Oh note to Mods...in theory only
I am sure that I have seen Na Fianna up in "these here parts". Dont normally watch that show but if I do this evening I will vote. Morning all Jeez Flick, I can tell that you have age on your side, if I didn't get home til half four I would not be seen for at least 12-24 hours. You are looking well in the pic ...
My friend and her wee girl lived with me for a while at the height of the Barney phase....Damn I hate that purple monster...it infiltrates your brain...gets to the cells that the alcohol has not even reached. I found myself singing Barney songs in the shower Didn't stop me giving a Barney themed birthday party for the kid though...not being a parent it never occurred to me that a six foot Barney might scare a four year old She enjoyed it though in the end. I finally got a great book called 100 ways to Kill Barney....really funny. Anyway OP I am glad that your wee boy is feeling better. Strangely enough I was told by a doctor not to put calamine lotion on as it makes the itch worse, I had chicken pox when I was 23 and the calamine lotion definitely made it worse...Then again I suppose people have different reactions...and I am such a sensitive soul. Damn I do waffle on...have not reached caffeione quota yet today...apologies
st Just talked to my favourite mixologist in Manhattan... He told me that they now have Smithwicks on draught, they do the Guinness head and they now call it a Blacksmith Did not ring him about this thread...it was a family issue
I am so disappointed lol...my Aunt also told me that my Grand Aunt who had the same name as me lived in Ballyshannon about 50 years ago....and I thought that I was the Original Blow In I am not an original after all
I have just been on the phone to my Aunt. She is fantastic. She was talking about The Pope..she's not a fan. So the whole p*dophile thing was covered. She is not a fan of Mary Coughlan She hates the HSE because of cutbacks that have affected her. Meant to ask her about Tiger Woods as she is a real golf enthuasist. She has a great sense of humour so we had a great laugh. ....Oh did I mention....she is almost 93 I seriously am not taking the piss, she reads the paper everyday and even puts the odd bet on a horse Dont know how long I want to live...but if it is that long..I really hope that I am like her, she is just a real character. Sorry, just feeling all warm and fuzzy after talking to her Dont worry... I have no plans on hanging around that long and terrorizing you nice people
Well I have seen it done in busy pubs in Manhattan, I had to do it Where I worked, They used lager instead of Smithwicks for a half and half( I am only remembering that now), Bass with a guinness head for a Black and Tan...Cider with Guinness head for a Poor Mans Black Velvet...the dive I worked in wasn't big on champagne There was even a wee thing about the size of a spoon for pouring the guinness head or you could just pour it normally. This is how it was done where I worked, I realize it is probably done differently from pub to pub. That is my wee disclaimer just to save the Professionals from correcting me
Damn....I am not supposed to eat meat today...am I? Regarding Ashes, I remember years ago I was taking care of an old lady. I had friends out visiting and we had been out til all hours the night before. I was at work and it was Ash Wednesday. The poor auld one said that she would go lie down for an hour and that I could go out and get the ashes crack done. I was so wrecked I lay down for an hour on the couch...then put cigarette ash on my forehead before she got up
That's what I remember them being called when I was pouring them....not as a customer, hate Guinness.. Poor mans Black Velvet, Cider with a Guinness head...double yuk. Give me Coors light or Corona anyday...such a light weight Hiya V
Well he was kind of a typical Irish man, He lived with his parents,His Mother thought he was God, He hung around with twelve guys and he was a carpenter There is no denying that he would be good at a recession party...c'mon turning water into wine No Brainer there Yeah Hess , we should all be more conscientous... but sure that is an individual personality trait is it?
I think that having Jesus in our life would be a good thing. There has been so much dissension on the forums lately. I think that it would be good to step back and think...What Would Jesus do? Well for one...He would turn Water into Wine...and let the Party Begin
