ya to hide from all of ye lol. got my answer here "It is your responsibility to keep the information in your profile up-to-date. You should especially ensure that your email address is kept current. You can alter any of the fields in your profile, except your username. Once you have registered your username, it becomes yours for life. In extreme circumstances, you may request that the administrator change your username, but he or she will require a very good reason to do so."

You'll have to remain as Princess Lou so When you're 50 odd that will be so so sad :P

You can subscribe to boards and then change it. I got mine changed years back at a request, but I don't think they do it anymore.

Could not believe the Saints won! I hit the sack before the end of the second quarter, and the Colts were still dominating the game at that stage! They must have made some comeback.

Brilliant game! Was backing the Colts but some of the plays from the Saints were just unreal! At one stage they intercepted the ball right by the end zone and ran it all the way back for a touch down. Happened in seconds and no one saw it coming!

Afternoon everyone!! It's Wednesday already. Awesome.

Mercy Hospital

Are you up for a challlenge? This year the Mercy Hospital Foundation has not one but two extreme mountain survival challenges to test you to the limits!

Our brand new Wicklow Mountains Survival Challenge will be held on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd May 2010. While the Comeragh Mountain Survival Challenge is back by popular demand on the 24th, 25th and 26th September 2010.

The aim of the Mountain Survival Challenges 2010 is to raise €100,000 and to provide you with a unique and exciting personal experience. Funds raised through the Mercy University Hospital Foundation are used to purchase state of the art equipment, to enhance and develop services and to help Hospital staff in providing a world class service to the patients.

In order to take part in a challenge you must raise a minimum of €650 per person. We can provide you with a sponsorship pack and lots of fundraising ideas so you can raise the required sponsorship. Challenges are designed for teams of two so each team needs to raise a minimum of €1,300 in aid of the Mercy.

Take part by going to www.mercyhospitalfoundation.ie/survival

“The challenge will bring you to the limits both psychologically and physically. Anyone who wants to prove themselves should try it.” Kieran Coughlan, Comeragh Challenge Participant 2009

Is begging allowed on this forum? I think it's a disgrace to come on here, begging for money.:mad:

Webmonkey

Yeah something not right in that alright. Surely any size contribution should be welcomed...

Papa_Lazarou

Take it easy lads......

This is just like the Neil Mellon township thing where you have to raise €4,000 euro or parachute jumps for charity where you have to raise a minimum of €700.

And its not begging to be fair...it is a worthy cause and they are incurring big charges to hold this so if someone only made a contribution of a tenner and turned up then they would be making a loss....

Webmonkey

Oh don't get me wrong...I don't see it as begging...not sure where that comment came from. Just seems a bit strange that there's a minimum to raise.

Ah not you,twas col said it was a sort of begging.
The minimum raise is the norm nowadays for big charity events such as that.

Webmonkey

Fair enough - I don't see the logic in it though...it turns me off a little to say the least. I mean to me it seems a bit snobby of them, not to accept 300 euro if I was able to make that amount for them. Maybe if a minimum of 50 euro might be ok but €650!, it's a bit extreme.

deRanged

it kindof goes against the whole "every little helps" thing.

bumbletumble

4 peaks challange you need to raise a mininum of 4,500 euro to enter it!!

Seen them a few years ago. Tawt they were pretty good.

NoDice

Cool, dying to go to a gig and I'll just be back from holidays then so looking forward to it. Savoy is a good venue too I think. Saw Biffy Clyro there and it was pretty cool.

Roverjames, congrats on the job, always great to hear good news around here!

Dropkick Murphy's, btw, are a celtic punk kinda group. I really only know them from that rocking song at the end of the Departed.

Thank you
'tis the place I left to come up here, my contract is up shortly here so the timing is great.

Me thinks I wouldn't be into that band, cheers to yourSQP for the PM and the link, me thinks I was right

NoDice

Funnily enough they're not a band that play the type of music I would usually go out of my way to get a ticket for. It jsut seems like a good night out.

Man I'm so sick of Cork like. There is no where good to go out at all. Said I'd do a pub crawl type thing last weekend and worked my way up Barracks street a bit so hit Tom Barry's for the first time. Really cool place, nice smoking area but wonder what the music is like in there on a busy night? There was none playing on the Sunday.

Has anyone been to the club next to the Quad?

Have never been to Tom Barrys, the sister loves it though. She lives quite close to it too.

NoDice

Might go there again some night, massive smoking area with a fire and all! Nice pints too and loads of space. was told it's a good spot for saturday nights.

I'm still sickeningly inclined to go to the Brog!! I'm so sick of it and it smells and the pints are bad (but they're €3!! €3 I said!!!) and the staff are generally rude and the bathrooms are dirty but it's home. It's home and I wish I was there now. Damb you!!!

sorry.. rant over

I'm shocked....i just got told my neighbour hung himself...I mean the family are lovely....this doesn't make sense

Sorry to hear that

He's only 18 like

Webmonkey

strange stuff...the reasons why he done it apparently are quite frightening...such small things if only he spoke about them.

Anyways how's every one here? - I'll be back in Ireland saturday...its very snowy here in Germany! What's it like there...

It was actually a really lovely day today. The sun was shining and the place was actualy warm,well till the evening anyway. How did Germany go for you?

Waiting for my damn food to be delivered ..........

Webmonkey

I loved the week to be honest. A meal every evening with few drinks with all partners, of all different nationalities.

We ate in this really cool restaurant just an hour ago where you order your food on touch screen at table and it arrives via a track over your table to you! Really funny concept but it worked.

Sorry to hear that, very sad, especially when the chap was only 18.

Yeah it real is quite a sad thing when you hear about it and especially when its someone close to you or somebody you know. I've had 2 friends and two family members go that way and its just horrible when it happens. The first thing you always seem to ask yourself is why you didn't see it coming but the thing is nobody ever does.

Just by chance was he in UCC aswell?

Webmonkey

You're right about everyone wondering why they didn't do more to see it coming..

No he didn't go to college....he was a boy racer, but he lost his license and it was down hill from there apparently Such simple things

Yeah its strange the things that will set people off or make them enter depression. 18 is just way too young to go like.

Indeed. He obviously wasn't rational with anything...I think children need to be brought up to be more open and talk about things. Keeping things locked up is not good and results in things like this.

Very sorry to hear this Webmonkey. Got a few shocks like that myself last year. You're completely right about kids needing to talk about everything more openly. If you guys were close and you want to talk about it, feel free to pm me. I don't mind. As you said yourself it helps to talk.

On a lighter note, where in Germany are you? Was thinking of doing a trip there but Amsterdam is very persuasive...

Good afternoon everybody.

Made the move from Galway yet?
