RE: things you hate/dislike....

Ah sure we let the men keep on saying silly stuff like that
I am grand, How's yourself?

RE: things you hate/dislike....

Get drunk and ring someone....always fun

RE: What is bigger???

I dont have any talent, nor do I have an ego (well apart from the basic definition of self). I dont have an inflated ego.
Maybe I dont exist at all

Best of luck to you too MSN

Will we survive it? Yes we will...

I suppose that we have no choice....again...to take what the government throws at us.
I am an auld wan
I actually remember a time when kids did not get x boxes etc. for Christmas.
I grew up in a rural area where everyone was poor, so luckily there was no stigma attached. Neighbours helped each other etc.
You did not have to pay the kid down the road up to 30 euro a night to babysit, it was what you did for a neighbour..
Do you think that we are going to have to go back to that?
I think that maybe it is no harm if we all have to go back to times when we actually did things for each other...sense of community etc.
Dont get me wrong, I am pissed off that the budget is putting all of us and some more than others in such a horrible situation.
I am just wondering if we all as a community can pull together and go back to the old ways of helping each other out for no financial gain??
Not a recommendation, just a question...are we capable of giving to each other?

Irish People and Illness

Watching John Kenny ( D'unbelievable's)
He seems to be a very funny character who it seems has battled cancer.
He said that people would say " Ah he had a bit of a knock"
Then when he had to go for treatment,behind his back " He's gone to Dublin" !!!!
as John Kenny said...." you go to Dublin, you dont come back"
So I suppose we all sugar coat things
Do we just ignore things rather than face up to them??
Very funny man though, IMO much funnier than Pat Shortt...

RE: which song means something to u

Okay redo my settings...embedding disabled...and me on a dating site
Anyway one of my songs is

Last time I saw mine was Christmas day 1969...it was snowing..
The Fureys is a great version but I liked this one too.


Reminds me of my nieces dancing in the back of the car and also of someone else very special to me

Sorry I dont know how to do the link


Horrible version of this song...but it does remind me of Mammy RIP.


Reminds me of working in a Fish factory in Killybegs lol

RE: which song means something to u

Love that song but they say I have to watch it on you tube

RE: Funny colloquial sayings

I was standing outside a local community centre, There was an auld fella standing over a bit having a smoke. He took a fit of coughing and the girl with me said " Another Clean Shirt will do him"
I had no idea what she was on about....She meant he hadn't long left..
Like your story just having a laugh, he was a neighbour of hers and is still on the go..

No insurance, No saddle....leaves you lobsided
Think you should name him
What about Jesse???

RE: the weather

Glad you are home safe
Ya might be better on the bike these days

RE: Unexpected Generosity

No... we just notice the less thoughtful mean people more because they sometimes can make themselves heard by being loud and obnoxious. The truly kind and generous people are in the background getting on with it and just appearing when they can genuinely help or support someone else....
C'mon people....positivity....we are surrounded by good people

RE: Unexpected Generosity

Delighted to hear your good news Sativa.
Glad that you will get to spend Christmas with family.
How generous of that person, I am sure that they enjoyed doing that for you.
I have often had people be generous to me.. again when I was spending holidays alone or working.
I like to believe that truly kind people outnumber those who can sometimes be nasty.
In bad weather this morning as I was dreading leaving work a neighbour offered to drive my car down to the main road for me as he knew I was nervous about driving home. I managed it by myself but I was comforted to know that if I got stuck he would help me out. I dont even know this man.
Hope you have a lovely time with your family

RE: Funny colloquial sayings

Think it is probably an Irish thing, I have heard both those sayings used where I come from (Cavan).
I love this one, Was chatting to a fella from Armagh one day, my brother asked him was the pub he was in the night before busy.
Yer man said..." Jaysus it was that packed you couldn't turn a sweet in your own mouth"
Another one in Kildare...about a bendy road... It is that bad you will see the back of yer own head going around it..
Donegal Version, again about a bendy road...you will meet yourself coming back
I love all the different sayings, they have to be confusing for Non Nationals though.
