RE: Going it alone........

Ah I have gone to the pub by myself...and sure I have such an auld crabby head that no one bothers me.... Actually have had a right laugh sometimes especially on holidays.

RE: Going it alone........

If there is something I want to do and there is no one else around, I have no problem going by myself. A group of us went to Barcelona one time and I went off on my own to do something that they weren't interested in doing.
I have been on three holidays by myself and met some great people to have the craic with.
Damn...I really am just a Billy no mates loser

RE: A Morbid Question?

Might take that into consideration myself..well the Croke Park bit...not the hill. At least this way..Cavan would be represented in Croke Park

RE: A Morbid Question?

Kinda like a cremation cruise...That sounds interesting...might have to rethink all of it now. Could have a beach party/barbecue then just shove me off into the water...Could be a good party depending on the weather.

RE: A Morbid Question?

I have always said that I wanted to be cremated now I am kinda thinking maybe buried...I am always so decisive.
The thing about being buried is that so many people would possibly want to dance on my grave...
No will, I intend to just have enough to bury/toast me!
Music has been picked for funeral...if chapel doesn't like it then the whole shenanigans will be moved to the local hotel.
After party will be great craic...
Yes, a family member has all of this in writing.

RE: Limericks of forum users

Fair play to you Irish
You're a funny "wee" Lass
A great sense of humour
That never is crass.

Your summation of me is a little awry
Sure all I can cook is a big greasy fry.
Sincerely sorry for causing your cough
At the end of the day it's only a laugh.

How honoured am I to be named on a thread
It's such a shame that you've taken to bed.
We will see you again around witching hour
Here's hoping this thread wont have turned sour.

Thanks for the laugh

Victor Meldrew hates textese!

Not good enough....
Now off to the blackboard with you and write 100 lines..
I must not use textese
I must not piss off crabby auld wans...
Okay 50 of each will do!
P.S. Oh a blackboard was a thing that was used before you were born so could you please copy and paste 50 times, thanks.

Victor Meldrew hates textese!

Yeah,just me showing my age and being crabby...Jeez the text speak thing wrecks my head. Yes I use abbreviations sometimes but when you cant be effin arsed 2 mk sentences then I sooooo cannot be arsed replying...
I know this has been addressed on forums before..but this is now and I am crabby...
Ok...use your textese on your phone...just not when you are messaging me!...but on a public forum where you expect people to understand you?
Then again...maybe that is a person being smart and weeding out the crabby auld wans like myself...hmmm...

RE: how and when

You are being too nice there...the silly Dubs just lull you into a false sense of security...THEN....They try and tell you that Cork is not the REAL Capital...just sayin' watch out for them

RE: how and when

Oh Good...complete...well I always like to give 100%
Anyway all hijacking aside, I think that this was a great thread created by ellimere...what a lady.. with a fantastic positive attitude and most important mega sense of humour
I hope that people who have read this thread have a greater understanding of what it is to have a disability,what other peoples perceptions and reactions to a disability can mean to a person..
Thanks to ellimere, I think that I know a little bit more. Plus...thanks for giving us the chance to have a bit of a slagging in good fun

RE: how and when

Well she could try and disguise the accent but I wouldn't mention the Cavan blood. I doubt she wants any potential dates to think she is a complete lunatic altogether

Oh...that hurts...we are not all bad you know
...going to corner to lick wounds!

RE: how and when

No word from NY recently must give a buzz..
Regarding rupperware moulds my freezer is very small so I would have to go with the minitiuare version...
OOOPS...Tupperware not rupperware

RE: how and when

Well I am kinda busy with bingo and stuff at the minute...so I will leave it to the Meath wans...
@ N....
ellimere has said that she uses crutches sometimes...and you tell her to practice on a banana??? What the hell is wrong with you...do you want her to break her neck on a banana skin???

RE: how and when

Ah...there it is!!! Howaya N Cavan style someone else would be filling your mould..yikes what I mean is as in paying for the Coors light...Trust you to bring a thread down...jeez

RE: how and when

I had friends from Cork staying last week...I love the accent and the sayings...my friends wee girl even said she would compile a Cork dictionary for me
I am blessed cursed with the flattest Bog Cavan accent that you ever heard!

RE: CS Dublin meet...............

That's a bit negative don't you think? People turn up or else the meetings wouldn't happen. I agree that no one knows each other til they meet up but sure isn't that the whole point?
I will go Pedro...and even buy you a pint

RE: how and when

Uh oh....disability alert....it sounds like you have a Cork accent...like!! Maybe that is treatable..elocution
My other Cork friends are going to kill me..like!
Ah I actually like the Cork accent...way nicer than the one that I am stuck with.

RE: how and when

Hmmm...not entirely true.. I broke my foot years ago...when I was in my twenties...last century.
Because I am so long and leggy..not..they did not have proper crutches for me..they gave me kids crutches..The old wooden Long John Silver type. I remember being in a bar one night..and a guy actually took my stool, okay I was out dancing with my crutches at the time.
Overall they helped to get a seat, I held on to them for a while after my foot was better, just for busy Saturday nights..ya know yourself

RE: how and when

Well hopefully your condition is treatable and manageable.
An a**hole personality like that guy appears to have is rarely treatable....but I still say the blunt object over the head thing might have helped.
Like I said, we all have something. I have some personality traits that wreck peoples heads but my friends and family overlook that...so far..

RE: how and when

he actually told me i had this condition cus i was evil and it was karma !! i actually havent been on a date since .. it totally put me off !
Sounds like a real gem...In that instance Karma would have been if you had whacked him over the head with a blunt object
Jeez, don't let one eejit put you off. If people can't see your complete personality then they are not worth it. I know that sounds so cliché but I believe you take the complete person and not just the things about a person that you can deal with. We all have imperfections.

RE: how and when

Sorry Ellimere, just see how idiotic I sounded. I genuinely meant that it is a good start saying it on here. Apart from dating even going to any of the CS meet ups. I realize that some people are very uncomfortable about disabilities of any type...I have found sometimes they are more bothered about the disability than the person with the disability is.

RE: how and when

Seriously...totally his problem not yours. I see that you say you often don't have prior warning yourself so in that case I would say yes if you have reached the stage where you are going to meet up with someone then tell them.

RE: how and when

I would say be upfront about it, if a person is interested in meeting you then it should not be an issue anyway.


Also anyone who reads this thread will be aware of it anyway so that is a start with people from here and anyone that you meet outside of here you can just choose when to tell them.

RE: Books of 2012...

Thanks, I have now got The Redbreast on my kindle...it sounds good...Oh yeah...@Irish Eyes....another advantage of kindle
Thanks again Sky, I was looking for something different to read.

RE: Books of 2012...

It's the whole concept of youngsters having to "fight to death" that I don't like...wuss that I am, that description really put me off.

RE: Books of 2012...

I am going to download a Jo Nesbo book which one would you recommend to start with? Is Headhunters one of his? Would rather read it before watching it. Is it better to read them in sequence.
Jaysus you are a great librarian altogether
@KNenagh...dunno about the hunger games don't think I like the sounds of it.

RE: Books of 2012...

Yes I did, they were given to me as a gift. I decided to watch the first one one night and ended up watching all three. I thought they were great, have you seen them?

RE: Books of 2012...

Ah but have you tried the kindle??? I read a lot of throwaway crime fiction stuff. I still have my real books, Oscar Wilde, O'Henry etc. on my bookcase (dammit, I spent a whole evening battering the thing together...so I will have real books on it ).
Unfortunately the only 50 shades of grey that I am familiar with I pay a hairdresser to cover up!
I will however wait for your reviews.
P.S. Nice new profile pic.

RE: Books of 2012...

Yes I own a kindle and it is the best thing that I ever bought. I was a book snob..love the feel of a book, the smell of a book etc. I am now a kindle snob...but nobody could convince me of the kindle advantages until I decided to buy one for going on holidays last year.
You can download samples to see if you like the book. Mine is the old fashioned 3g one...I can get a book no matter where I am or what time it is..don't need wireless...you can loan books to other kindle users, books are much cheaper...Ok getting dizzy on soapbox.
I am currently reading a Lee Childs book..Jack Reacher series.
@ Skyblue, that book and author sounds interesting must check it out.
I loved the Millenium triology by Stieg Larrson also.

RE: "about me! profile section

Ah the Meldrew is just me being crabby...Saoirse is my real name..who squealed
