I tried to pull a cracker once but she slapped my face and broke both my fingers. Does that show up in the statistics.

BTW I'm rolling on the floor laughing my ass off that some people don't know what ROTFL or ROTFLMAO means.

Really? huh, i thought it was "Right Old F**king Laugh", but i guess thats a bit stupid.

Those beer bottle cap injuries i can well believe funnily enough (says alot for irish ingenuity and well...determination)

Unpossible

ROTFL or ROTFLMAO

Those beer bottle cap injuries i can well believe funnily enough

there was a guy at a house party i went to once who could actually do this without hurting himself, we all thought it was hillarious (sp) and kept giving him bottles to open

you must have a very fast and cheap internet connection!!!

muffen

I would have if I hadn't moved to Ireland

100Mbits if going for 80euros a month in the greater parts of the 3 largest cities (+ some more places). Upto 2Mbits is largely available in the country, and I think almost everyone can get the standard 512 connection.

Out of those connections, only the 100MBit one is capped, and the cap is 300gigs a month.
The funny thing is, lots of people complain about the cap. Many people get the 10Mbit connection just because the 100Mbit one has a cap. I've seen usage stats of people transferring over 500gigs a month, constantly!

Ah well, it's a different world I guess :-/

Only on Ireland could an overpriced below height tunnel win a design prizeDublin port tunnel

My GOD! i'm moving to Sweden!!!

btw why oh why did you move to Ireland?

muffen

btw why oh why did you move to Ireland?

I've been moving around in europe for the last 7 years or so... I was working for a company that decided to move to Ireland... and I had nothing better to do, so I came with the company
Been here for a year and a half now...

Ireland's alright, but I find it unlikely I'll be here after next summer... I'm either gonna leave Europe, or move back to Sweden... but I'm done with this whole moving around in europe thing.. 7 years is long enough

Actually the tunnel is built to european standard. The hugh ****off trucks that cannot fit into it are banned in europe. Only place you will see them is in the UK and a bit of Ireland. The trucks are bigger then double deck busses and dont fit under a good few bridges on out motor ways cos they are too damn big. Also, they are dangerous in high winds, thing of a giant square block on a motorway doing 60mph with a big gust ..... hotpants will be everywere.

I realised we were about 3 years behind (retarded is a more appropriate word), but it looks more like 5 now :mad:

oooh, how do I describe it.
It is this thing that (for me) comes out at Christmas. You take it firmly at both ends and pull hard. It is good fun pulling by yourself but is much better if you have a partner. However having two other people pulling isn't quite as musc fun.
When you pull hard and it pops usually this stuff comes out and goes on the floor or wherever.
As I said, crackers usually appear @ Christmas. It would be nice if you could get some during the rest of the year but maybe if you could, pulling them wouldn't be as much fun.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to some pulling over Christmas. I'll get my wife, sister or even maybe my parents to join me in pulling my cracker!
