RE: Local or Global?

Ok...dunno where the purple heart thing came from...You're not a war hero by any chance are you?

RE: Local or Global?

Me thinking (before typing)? That would never happen. I knew you were talking about buying women (presents). Thai Bride shopping never entered my head!

RE: Local or Global?

however when it comes to women the global option could be more attractive
Thought we were talking about making purchases??
Just joking...not meant to be offensive

RE: Local or Global?

I do my everyday shopping locally and use local services etc. However there is just not enough competition locally for prices to be competitive. For clothes shopping my choices are to travel to Sligo or Enniskillen. I go to Enniskillen as it is just as close and the prices are better even with the rate of exchange. There is usually a difference of about 5 euro per item in clothing in regular shops such as Next which does add up if I am buying a few items. I bought my laptop locally as the guy is really helpful and great after sales service. My cameras I did not buy locally...just too expensive. Obviously in rural areas we just do not have the same selection. I feel that I contribute enough to the local economy. In fairness during the "Celtic Tiger" years I never felt that local retailers gave a crap about me. I encountered absolute indifference in shops and restaurants. Having said that the shops in Ballyshannon are amazing and really do look after the customers. So my long winded answer is do what you can for the local economy but if the item you need is not competitively priced then I do not see anything wrong with shopping around and going for the best deal.

RE: Random Thoughts....

Please don't ever go and try to buy a phone with a 9 year old as an accessory or app!!! You would get into all kinds of bother!

RE: Random Thoughts....

Ah I know M...but watching the ones drop it in there and then wonder if they have used it in the correct cool manner is kinda fun.
Re smart phones...well android yokes I have one and it is great apart from the fact that the touchscreen keeps cutting me off when I am on a call...probably me being dumb with it.

RE: Random Thoughts....

Random scares me....
It used to be just a word...not scary at all...now it is like some kind of crazy test...
I talk to my 20 something niece and her friends...they say stuff like.." It is so random!" or " He is so random!".. They look back at me almost in a challenging way... I turn into a version of Father Dougal or something...the less bright version I end up paying them to just go away and be "Random"!
Steam and Hammers???

RE: Looking for a lady, aged between 18 and 56.5 for fun! ;)

Or mixing up words... I alway mix up narcilepsy and Necrophilia.... Neither pertain to me!!!

RE: Looking for a lady, aged between 18 and 56.5 for fun! ;)

Oops..sorry..eh nice weather we're having

RE: Looking for a lady, aged between 18 and 56.5 for fun! ;)

Eh Hello....Did you kill Lady Blackadder or what???

RE: If you were 90...

Ouch...I am over half way there...
I would prefer to think that people would say "Ah I hope she makes another year" than..."Is that auld witch not dead yet?". Then again I have never been overly concerned what people think of me apart from the innate human nature factor.
Dont know where I will have travelled I like to play it by ear. I would hope that I would have been the type of person that muddled through life without being nasty to others...well unless I really felt that I had to. If people remembered me I would like if they could recall a time when we had a right auld laugh and not anything sad.
I would like to be able to remember watching Cavan win an All Ireland in Croke park ....Most importantly...if I am sitting in a rocking chair replaying that same All Ireland....God help the person who tries to tell me that I am "raving" and that it never happened!

Trying to find Jersey Shore....found plastic surgery before and after....maybe a bit of car crash tv would motivate me to go to bed

RE: The Hijack Thread

Have never actually seen it.....we used to slag the Jersey girls...you would always recognize them...really big hair and mad long nails

RE: The Hijack Thread

Yeah, By the time I leave the living room, travel all the way to the west wing and start taking off my face!

RE: The Hijack Thread

How is it possible to actually be too lazy to go to bed?

RE: The Hijack Thread

I met Bono for a few mins last year and he was actually good craic and could take a slagging....Yes of course I slagged him!

RE: The Hijack Thread

Anyone remember Beanos??? Sweets not comics.

RE: The Hijack Thread

RE: dated photos/profiles

I totally agree E, It is a lot different when you are younger. I have not changed much in years apart from getting more like Victor Meldrew.
Just having a laugh with the pic cos I know if I had that up on here no one would ever recognize me if they met me...dont see the point of putting up ancient pics...jees might as well put up the First Communion one if that was the case.
