Went to a Military History Society Conference on the 'Revolutionary Years' today. Conference was good, skipped a day of college for it, but it'll be benefical to me in the long run. Plenty of good notes/sources picked up. Few famous faces there for history hacks like me.

It's called sleep paralysis, get used to it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

Michellenman · 02-10-2009 10:29pm

Happens to me sometimes... sometimes it's kinda nice and you fall back asleep and then wake up grand later on. Other times it's shit scary.

PrivateEye · 02-10-2009 10:51pm

New Peep Show was hilarious. God I love that show.

Second Friday Night in a row, quite fond of this now. Saturday is much more buzzin'.

(On a sidenote, I'd now bet my house Lisbon passed (phone calls to heads all over Dublin and in some key areas, exit polls from FG etc. too) 1-1 now. Proud of the effort made on a small budget by comparision, hopefully they'll drop Cowen in the RDS. 90% sure.)

banquo · 02-10-2009 11:32pm

It's looking like a win for the Yes side alright. Still, never say never.

At least it's over. On to the general!

I couldn't even read the whole article, that is so scary. I really, really hope that doesn't happen to me

Oh god I'm actually afraid to go to sleep tonight now in case that happens...

(im not actually, but I'm a bit nervous)

mp3guy · 02-10-2009 11:57pm

Being completely honest, I first got it the night after I watched a documentary on it. No joke.

Michellenman · 02-10-2009 11:58pm

Did Derren Brown present the documentary? :P

Rozabeez · 03-10-2009 12:07am

Weekly event for me. Dont sleep face up if you can.

banquo · 03-10-2009 12:37am

+1 on the weekly event.

Raced home to vote just in time. got there 10 minutes before polling closed.

Voting is awesome. It's a really good feeling.

Yeh, thank god.

I think I may have gone to far on facebook pushing for a yes vote, a previous classmate of mine called me a bender and not in a messing kinda way. So I just blocked him.

PrivateEye · 03-10-2009 1:29am

Never mind the liberal yanks and those George W shirts (Sooooo 2004), I'm going for the Tony Blair 'Not My President' look this winter.

Rozabeez · 03-10-2009 8:44am

Do I reeeeeally have to go to work if it's raining? Is there no sort of employment loophole there?

allandanyways · 03-10-2009 12:48pm

It's so nice to be able to stay in bed in the morning, wake up and go back asleep and all that, without worrying about buses and crap. Love the weekends, even if I get féck all work done with family about.

and Mammy had just made a load of pancakes when I got up, lovely start to the day, and now I'm back in bed! think I'll make cupcakes later on today, which reminds me, has anybody tried a cupcake from the Bewleys stand? They're not covered so I don't wanna try one in case someone's coughed swine flu all over them...

I was at that history conference again today (day2 of 2) and they had Micky Collins' car out the front.

Sliabh na mBán, or whatever they called the thing.

So, off I go for a look at it, with another lad.

"Ah, should have shot him twice as much. Or should have shot him once, and put the other bullet into Richard Mulcahy. Killed more Republicans than the Brits and all. Move over Mick, make way for Dick. Horrible Free state bastards, but at least they weren't them bloody English am i right? If they didn't make that bloody film, we'd be ashamed of the likes of Collins and Mulcahey "

Who is standing beside me, but Richard Mulcahys son. Shiiiiiii.

These are the funny little moments than make life.

LeixlipRed · 03-10-2009 7:59pm

There's only one Micky Collins and he plays for Dundalk. Lunatic

a couple of years back i was asked on behalf of a military historical soc, to assist in a re-enactment of the hand over of collins barrack's form the brits to the irish....

anywhoo the lads organising it were a farce in not havin prepped themselves in anyway, they seemed more interested in just dressing up and fluting about with there guns tryin to impress people,

anywhoo after two or three 'handovers' we got stopped and thanked by this group of eldery people, they then preceed to thank the guy portraying 'michael collins' for his lovely speech etc,

your man was like a pig in his own ****e, the elderly folks were saying how there grandfather had taking control of the barrack for the brits...

to which 'michael collins' replies "yes michael collins was a treasure to the nation"

to which the old lad said.... 'Richard Mulcahy was my grand father.....:D:D:D:D:D'

cue major embarrassment............

In other news i cycled 23km today in an hour :eek::eek:

Heard your well more likely to get a nightmare if you sleep on your back... Least likely sleeping on your side.

ps i realise this has little to do with sleep paralysis

Not at all, it has everything to do with it. The word itself is of proto-germanic origin, and refers to the experience of 'witch sitting', now understood to be a paralysis episode.

Rozabeez · 04-10-2009 11:06am

It's a pretty scary experience, didn't know about the nightmare thing though, interesting!

meganj · 05-10-2009 3:18pm

someone please kill me :mad:

I'm terribly sick, and lonely in the library trying to get my thesis proposal done. So far I have done all the necessary preparation, smoking, tea buying, facebook, boards, wikipedia, drawing on my hand and staring off into space. Now I just have to write the thing.. unless there's other more interesting things I can do???

Ostrom · 05-10-2009 6:20pm

Im in bed watching deadliest catch, which they tell me may be downloaded for anytime viewing. Why not try that? :}
