RE: Something to pass the time...

Alright, beat this. American redneck Granny shooting a German WW2 sub machine gun and talking about blowing people's balls off with it.

*Lays down gauntlet. .*

RE: Sense of Humour..

As long as no-one was offended during any humour-malfunction, we'll be ok. The planet won't implode for another day. .

(That part highlighted in blue is the joke. The planet isn't actually going to implode)

Oh no, I think I'm trying too hard now. . This humour thing is hard. Oh yeah, must start a grief counselling thread for victims of my supposed sense of humour. Then I'm going to send out ecards with pictures of doves on the cover. . .

RE: Sense of Humour..

Looks like my "sense of humour" backfired.

RE: Sense of Humour..

Is it possible to be a dickhead with a sense of humour? Would that be ok with the people who say what's ok and what's not ok?

This is the reason why I specifically requested someone with "no sense of humour whatsoever" on my profile. Imagine, someone might tell an inappropriate "joke" and I wouldn't know whether or not it was ok to laugh.

RE: Saturday Night......

Yeah, tis good. Cabernet from Chile, my favourite.

You said hon twice, because obviously I'm just twice as sweet.

RE: Saturday Night......

Hey is your forum invisibility shield at full power too? Mine seems to be working as normal.

Get into that vodka, what's your mixer. .

RE: Saturday Night......

My "out" days are during the week now, that's when the music sessions are on. Just off work at 10pm, so managed to get a bottle of red at 9.59 at a garage. So, stringing a guitar I'm fixing for someone and enjoying some of the stuff that is good and red.

Nightclubs, to me, combine the effects of a jackhammer and a headache, so am feeling no regrets.

RE: When Do you Know You Haven't a chance?

Well, my Ma says I'm good looking, so I guess I'm ok.

There's cameras everywhere now, difficult to avoid being photographed and put on the internet. A law of averages applies to photos - take 100 of them and some are bound to turn out good.

RE: When Do you Know You Haven't a chance?

Cheers Sunny individual! Hopefully you will continue to post as the Forum vampires are always looking for fresh blood. .
(there's no vampire emoticon, this is the nearest I could get. . kind of like a Dusk till Dawn emoticon. . but there's no neck tattoo. There should be a vampire emoticon, I would defo use it all the time.)

RE: When Do you Know You Haven't a chance?

Thanks Buddy!

RE: When Do you Know You Haven't a chance?

Cheers Sally. Hope you got your motor sorted.

RE: When Do you Know You Haven't a chance?

There's two of them that I see everywhere, they're friends with hundreds of girls on here. One is a certain "Mr. Bond" and the other has a name from Shakespeare - "Alas poor Yorick, I knew him H***tio". (Don't think we're meant to name them openly on forums) I think Mr. Bond is the one you're referring to.

Anyone else seen these guys?

RE: When Do you Know You Haven't a chance?

Thanks!

Know humans alright, I've been living amongst them for years now.

RE: When Do you Know You Haven't a chance?

Well not to be too critical of others, to each their own, but a few things would encourage me to stop reading and keep going.

*Twenty or more male friends on the profile. - It's not facebook, so I'd be inclined to think a lad would end up as a tiny pic in her friends box if he talks to her. Maybe she can't make up her mind, and maybe she's not serious about dating.

*Very mainstream and/or pink background coloured profiles. - If it's a person trying hard to look like a "girly girl", for instance listing shopping as a hobby and referring to men on white stallions riding off with them, then no.

*Nice picture, but little or no text. - To me, that says: "I'm good looking, that's all I need to be". Some people who are very shy might do that, but I find that most girls who claim to be shy manage more than 2 lines on their profile.

*No pictures. - There's different reasons for people doing this, but no. It's just a minefield of negative signals.

Lastly, and this is terrible to say, but I know everyone does it and may not admit it. This is the number one cause of profile flicking. "Blah Profiles". Generic, uninteresting, no humour, nothing to catch the eye or engage the mind.

RE: Mummy's Boys

Well I assumed that you didn't want to address it head on because that's only giving that person what they want - conflict and controversy. Addressing it only feeds the problem, like Tease said, he's probably in stitches reading all the replies.

People can rise to him if they want, but mostly I'd also choose not to. Even if I really disagree with him.

RE: Mummy's Boys

Was working full time at 17, moved out to Dublin at 19. It's funny how some of you said your parents sold your bed, or you're throwing out your children's beds when they move out - my Dad sold the house.

There's been times when I lost jobs, or got stuck at the end of leases, but just kept going. Preferred to do my own thing, and sure the house was gone. Could get a book out of some of the places I've rented since.

Not sure about people living at home - some have genuine reasons, others make up excuses. Some families are close, some people find it too handy at home, and some are there temporarily. I think that a person has to strike out on their own and do their own thing, and the late teens is a good time to do that. If they don't do it then, they may never do it, or find it difficult to develop properly as an individual. Get out there, go hungry, be poor, have parties in your house, move to places where you know nobody and thrive, spend your last 20 quid on beer, argue with companies that bill you, stay up all night doing whatever, meet someone and offer them beans on toast for dinner - do all these things, learn to appreciate what you have, build character in the process. Would have hated to have missed out on all that.

To all who can't afford it, I lived in Dublin on 300 a week paying 70 rent, not including bills, insurance etc.
Lived in Naas on 160 a week paying 90 rent, not including bills. So come on now.

RE: whats the view from front window?

Are they evil severely discontented sheep?

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

Lovely.

Don't tempt fate, I'll trip over chairs, my knees will catch the edge of tables. Be good craic though.

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

We should probably go to some cafe where we don't own anything and no-one knows us. Did you ever get baby sick in your handbag? It's a good one, but not sure it's real.

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

When I'm around, Guinness comes out of them.

Nearly knocked over a table of drinks on Thursday as well, they did that horrible cringey wobble - and then settled. Bloody guitars and cases right beside the table.

Just duck tape any breakables down, and keep me in a chair at all times. Don't let me get up and walk around!! Will be fine then.

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

Well, wouldn't buy them. Just not my bag really. I'd rather get a girl flowers or dinner. And I always feel like a sap walking around with flowers.

Things like clothes and intimate items are best purchased by the girl herself. Too personal and easy to get wrong. Could easily be misinterpreted too - taken in the wrong context. To each their own of course.

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

Yeah we'll have to have that coffee. But I have a feeling that the conversation could easily stray into the ludicrous. At least I hope so. .

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

No way! As smooth as that was, I refute your transition back to the topic.















Finally got to use that pirate thing, delighted.

Freeconomy - Would you try this, even on a small scale?

Well I haven't seen the sequels, so can't comment too much on them fairly. But unless they correct the errors of the first one in a little side section of the sequel, I'd still be sceptical of the information in the film and the true motives behind it.

I read this review of Addendum:



The reviewers seem to have a similar take on the Zeitgeist movement films - that there's enough truth mixed in with the fiction to send people in the wrong direction and harm the liberty movement.

I don't want to criticise it too strongly if you're really into it, but there's no harm in taking out the individual points from the trilogy that you like and researching them separately. Separate the wheat from the chaff, as it were.

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

I think marriage should be the exception rather than the rule these days. Maybe my perspective is tainted, but I see ones that work and ones that clearly don't.

That family/social convention pressure can be very misguided. People often use "have to" as an excuse in those situations. Like just because someone else thinks you should do something and says it to you, that means you HAVE to do it.

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

I think some couples who have been together for a while get a bit of a thrill from it.

The public backup? I once heard marriage described as a constant battle between two people for the moral higher ground.

Freeconomy - Would you try this, even on a small scale?

Even though the information isn't accurate?

Yeah Kymatica is abstract, and the whole point is that it doesn't offer solutions within the current construct. Rather, it encourages people to reconnect with the Earth and make up their own minds about how they want to live - rather than relying on States, rulers and doctrines to do it for them.

That's part of a longer conversation though, so we may as well leave it rather than go into it here.

Where the f did the snowglobe come from?

RE: Are men ever intimadated by womens power tools ??? And i dont mean the ones sold in diy stores......

Well you ain't met the right one then Wexy. I think ye make this stuff up half the time. Like, a man forgets to mow the lawn once a year and it morphs into "never" mows the lawn.
