RE: school punishments.

Depends just who he hit with the stink bomb!

Certainly in my day, suspension was a biggie as a punishment sort of the last step before expulsion. But nowadays, I don't suppose they have many alternatives but 2 days off hardly seems like a punishment. A double detention copying 1st Corinthians from the bible would be much harsher.

RE: The "C" word

Not making light of MS but there's just something about cancer that makes me think that it's bad living that causes it whereas MS can be contracted by anyone.

I hasten to add that I have absolutely no medical or physiological training!

RE: Any exam tips?

Cheat by hiding the answers in your head!

RE: Intersting facts about you ~~~ but not on your profile ~~~

I've been on my own for so long I don't think I want a relationship anymore! I'm fine talking to women on the net but in real life I get nervous and tongue tied!

RE: stay or go??

Stay and make your own and everybody's life a misery! We all need a hobby!

RE: Have you ever

Treat your friends to a weekend in Midsommer when Miss Marple and Jessica Fletcher just happen to be staying for the weekend!

RE: What else can I do??

14 lbs or 6.4kg.

RE: Car trouble

I'd say the estimates others gave here would be fairly reliable. What happens with reconditioning is that you take your old one in and they give you a replacement already reconditioned. I'm guessing around €50 for the part.

Personally, if you know someone who'll fit it for you, I'd take the scrap yard option. If there's a fault, they're usually happy enough to give you another one.

RE: EXPENSIVE WEEK!!!

Well, with the car insurance check out 123.ie. They seem to beat everybody hands down. And get someone else to check that boiler incase it can be repairerd. I find it strange they have to change the entire boiler.

RE: What else can I do??

Well, sadly I'm nearly twice your age but ya look grand to me....so grand that if I was 25 years younger, I'd probably be too nervous to talk to you!

Good luck in your search though. Get yourself to a few of the meets on the Irish site. You can't play the game if you're not on the pitch!

RE: my mum

It could be an Ireland only thing but there certainly seems to be a problem with the page. It tells me that 40 people like it but gives me no option to do the same.

RE: Car trouble

Just checked ebay hon but you didn't give me the model or engine size. But for some reason the prices shoot up for 1997. Check for motor factors in your area and see if they do a reconditioned exchange unit for a reasonable price. DO NOT GO TO OPEL FOR THE PART UNDER ANY CONDITION!

If the motor factors are still too dear, then for a 14 year old car, I'd be considering a scrapyard! If you lived closer, I'd fit it for you myself!

RE: What food's DON'T you eat??

Well, I'm type 2 but I break out a fair bit!

RE: my mum

I get the content but no LIKE button!

RE: Fox Hunting - should it be banned?

Were any rabbits killed in the making of this thread or are these card carrying Equity members?

RE: sqid

It's handy for keeping the bait on the hook when you're fishing but otherwise...no thanks!

RE: sqid

Does that come from the old joke,'Here's that sick squid I owe you!'

RE: What food's DON'T you eat??

I only like fish in it's natural state....deep fried in batter the way God created it! And I hate tomatoes! They are the fruit of evil. Masquerading as a vegetable and looking delicious...but deceptively bitter. They look like they should slice...but no, they squash and squish. They destroy sandwiches with their latent moisture! Devil's fruit as I say! Beware the killer tomatoes!

RE: Processed food..........YIKES

That's it! Tripe and onions from here on in!

RE: The "C" word

A few years back I had an adenoma (medical words ending in oma aren't good.....like carcinoma) removed from my intestine as it was causing me severe discomfort.

It was weeks later my own GP said it wasn't malignant! I didn't even know they were looking for cancer. Scared me a bit.

But there's something about the word cancer that sounds dirty and ugly and that it would be my own fault if I got it! Some how MS, aneurism or heart disease or the like sound much more acceptable!

RE: Ireland has the highest sucide rate in Europe

Too late for this as has been said but it's a fair point. We discuss suicide often enough but why does it happen in Ireland and Japan more than anywhere else? Are we physiologically different or are we wrongly conditioned in our formative years leaving us as ticking time bombs? Are we setting the bar so high for our kids, that they can't help but fail?

Good question Pedro!

RE: Car probs :(

Bring back points, vaccum advances, carburators and accelerator cables I say! Keep your knock sensors, camshaft sensors and throttle potentiometers!

RE: Car probs :(

Just checked the net and they seem to suffer from dodgy imobilisers. I assume since it's been to renault, they have reset the immobiliser.

RE: Car probs :(

It's one of the problems with all the ele4ctrical sensors nowadays. I've got a dodgy injector in my Mondeo and when the fuel pressure drops a little, the damned thing turns off the fuel pump. I need to switch off the ignition and then restart it to reset it. Some times 4 or 5 times in as many minutes.

I did have a petrol Vectra that used to stop for what appeared no reason. You'd leave it 20 minutes and it would start again. Turned out to be a fuel filter...which cost all of €6 to replace!

Are you petrol or deisel?

RE: Car probs :(

It's a ten minute, 2 spanner job and common enough. It's the kind of job you could almost do yourself! It would be very unusual for the fanbelt to snap just at exactly the same time as the alternator gave up the ghost!

RE: Women after 50

Well, I am not post menopausal but I was waking up worried at 3 in the morning. I have found a solution though! Since the clocks changed, I now wake up at 4 in the morning!

RE: men today

I'm devastated by this thread! Nobody has ever called me a nitwit before!

RE: come dine with me...it wasnt lol

I'm surprised you can show your face on here with a toilet seat like that!

RE: why did Delilah betray Samson?

Because wummin can't be trusted!

Have you read, "Catcher in the Rye?"
