RE: Is it me!!!!!

.. or glutton for punishment

RE: would you ever take your ex back

Going against the trend here a bit :) I wouldn't have a problem dating any of my exes again - have been lucky enough that none of the relationships have ended badly. I still talk to most recent one quite regularly and have a good laugh.

RE: CONNECTING SINGLES MODS

Thankfully not logging in much means I've missed most of the carry on again. Seems like there's always something kicking off though now. Surprised that there are still people who've been on the site long enough at this stage who'll jump in and try to enflame the situation. I'd quite like to see some members of the forum becoming Mods so that some of the crap gets nipped in the bud.

RE: Today!! (Wont happen again in our lifetime)

Not to forget the lesser novelty; 07/08/09 10:11:12 earlier on :) (I just missed it - someone on Twitter reminded me of it a minute or two after)

RE: Waterford v Kilkenny Next Week

I hope they put that on a highlights DVD at the end of the season

RE: Mailbox Glich ??

Now that's just not fair at all!

RE: What do you like on your toast?

Was enjoying the toast thread with a bit of bromance there on the side but I'm shocked at a Cork girl talking about drinking Lyons or Punjana. The shame! I'll return to my toast (with peanut butter this time) and Barrys tea.

RE: Benefit Fraud

I wasn't talking about passing judgement, I was talking about not standing by when someone needs help.

RE: Benefit Fraud

Then they're fully entitled to all the help the state has to give. Though being idealistic one would hope that they wouldn't be allowed to get stuck long-term in such a state by their peers, would you?

RE: Benefit Fraud

If you take another look at the rest of the post ...

.. you'll see I'm talking about the corruption all around us which takes in businesses and politicians. This thread, though, is specifically about Benefit Fraud which is why the first part of my post focuses on it.

RE: Benefit Fraud

You could argue that by spending their time in the pub while claiming they're neither available for work or seeking work

RE: Benefit Fraud

I'm surprised by how many people see nothing wrong with taking from society. The welfare state was intended to help and support people when they need it not to duck from their responsibilities to a just and fair society. Even if it's just a small amount, the problem is that a small amount becomes a gradually bigger amount easily, it's just a matter of personal justification that ends in the large amounts of fraud and corruption we see around us today. Our government is of the people and for it to be honest then honesty must prevail in us, the people. The thieving of our politicians is a reflection on the society that gives them their power.

RE: July 25- Rozzie and the Wexies Meet, in Wexford

Snooze?!? Them balloons won't inflate themselves

RE: July 25- Rozzie and the Wexies Meet, in Wexford

Have a great time folks!

btw Twittwoo - that's a really nice new profile pic (haven't noticed it until now so apologies if it's not new!)

RE: SHAMROCK ROVERS V REAL MADRID

Now I'm interested, where does that 6,800 number come from? I had a look to see if I could get a number and the best I can come up with is which lists ~1600 in Ireland (Republic) while Wikipedia lists ~1500 GAA clubs (all counties in the GAA). Assuming an error tolerance of +/- 6% in those numbers you can pretty much say they're about the same.

RE: What will i say to him??

You probably don't want to put her down directly as it'll probably hurt him but at the same time you really want to keep him clear and not let him get used.

RE: date

Google Maps with driving instructions are the way to go

RE: IRISH HISTORICAL SITES

You might also be interested in heading out further west and south-west to tie in some of the archaeological sites with Irish/Celtic mythology e.g. somewhere like Rathcroghan in County Roscommon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathcroghan - will give you some background) which also has some samples of Ogham script (from around 400AD). Would probably be a nice complement to Newgrange.

RE: Playing Hard to Get

It applies universally, for all the men that don't respond there are just as many women who won't respond.

RE: Playing Hard to Get

It's definitely hard to get a reply alright ... not sure if it's the way people are or it's a side effect of internet dating being like a menu

RE: SHAMROCK ROVERS V REAL MADRID

Cool, get you know - not a fan of the 'west brit' thing myself but wary of kicking off a row I love hurling more than the football but I'm also a big fan of rugby. Less into soccer but I'm going to grab a Galway United season ticket anyway (support local!)

RE: SHAMROCK ROVERS V REAL MADRID

Even I could hit that target

RE: SHAMROCK ROVERS V REAL MADRID

Hurling is a lot older than that - it predates Christianity. The tie-in with the Young Fenians relates to training drills using the hurley in place of a gun.

RE: Thats It

Great result, good to hear!

RE: Thats It

Seemingly a very effective thread - good luck on the date holiday, hope it goes well for ye.

RE: snoring

There's an aerosol based product called 'Silence' you can get at the pharmacy. I presume he's gone through the usual things like weight loss if needed, quit smoking if he does and check sleeping position.

RE: Greatest guitarist in living memory

Steve Cropper. I think this thread can be locked now as nothing else needs to be said

RE: namaste!!

Guess India had an impact on you then - how did your travels go?

RE: Anybody know any free computer speed up software?

A good defrag tool might make a difference - gives you quite a few options both in terms of cleaning up the disk and maintaining it going forward.

What you could also do is post up a list of recommendations from the program that wanted to charge you and we can probably suggest free alternatives.

RE: Greetings from over at the International Forums

Nice to see you over from the International Forums, definitely quiet here tonight.
