    Christ, dodged a bullet there! Sorted what flights i was gonna get home last week, getting connecting ones so had the times nicely sorted in case of delays or anything. All good. Am just packing up now, went looking for my passport, and then started looking for where i had the flight confirmation numbers kept. Thats when i realised i never actually Booked the flights, just looked at them and said id finish it off later! Thankfully they were both still available anyway, so its all good. Prices had risen though, since they're less then a day away.

    older women, by definition should be more experienced! 30's isnt old btw, but when you're 23, a woman in her 30's is the older woman! Same as when your in your teens a 23 year old is "older"!

    The Prodigy's Fat of the Land is one of the greatest albums ever made. Then you have Faithless and the like. There's a lot to be said about some dance music. I agree the latest ****e of sticking a hot chick in a video singing bull**** lyrics is pure crap.

    I had a lil posse. I just didn't get to go to a movie I was particularly interested in.

    Although, the movie we saw, The Hulk, wasn't too bad. It had Ed Norton (:)) on the down side it had Liv Tyler.

    It also had Tim roth, which is just bizzare, I thought he only did indie movies?

    Well I shant be going anywhere near the Hulk. As I said earlier in this thread it has to be one of the crappiest superheroes ever.

    The Dark Knight on the other hand.....

    + 1.

    Ed Norton, super actor....you wouldnt like him when he's hungry though!! :pac::pac:

    Liv Tyler....woegeous. she adds nothing to anything, keep her quiet and she MIGHT be ok but god dammit a duller person u will not find (cept maybe Ben Affleck (shudders at memories of their shared scenes))



    Tim Roth, what a man! He suited the role perfectly IMO.


    the film itself is good fun tho isnt it? Except why o why does the Hulk have to grow 3 times in bodysize?

    Because if he didn't he'd just be the incredible green man?

    The movie ("film" hehehehe) was ok. I went to see Iron man and I think I enjoyed that more.

    I'm getting a bit tired of all these superhero movies. You all better be on hand to discuss Mamma Mia! when it comes out :p

    The last "movie" we went to see was In Brugges. And it wasn't as if I had to drag her either, she fancies the arse off Colin Farrell. :rolleyes:

    It's a quality film too.

    I believe the film Gone Baby Gone is pretty good, anyone seen it?

    It's an unfortunate fact that Americans are seen as fat, boorish idiots. Not only in Ireland though.

    Irish people are seen as drunk people up for the "craic" and a fight after a few drinks.

    It's just the way it is tbh.

    In other news, I love Mundy's Irish language version on The Galway Girl (Cailín na Gaillimhe).

    It annoys me that Colleen is a girls name. It means "girl" for jaysis sake.

    No, but it gets boring after a while.

    I did enjoy the Spurs joke btw, I think we were the only ones in the whole movie theatre who understood that part.

    Well what I meant was, from my observations, Irish are getting very overweight. It was nearly 5 years between my last two visits to your country and I was shocked at the difference when I visited for the holidays last year, especially the girls (considering the "fashion" in Ireland).

    It annoys me that Colleen is a girls name. It means "girl" for jaysis sake.
    It is a very popular name here. I know an african american girl named colleen, she loved it when she found out it was Irish.
