I'm officially old! Friday knok-off time and my first thought is "great I can have an early night"..... How did that sensible attitude creep up on me.

What about the late late? I wouldn't miss that for a pension.

flickin between Jonathan Ross and late late, my goodness Alisha dixon is deadly. Late late is brutal so boring and a bit depressing, Vince Vaughan on both. Give me Jonathan Ross any day

I'm waiting for some code to compile and run for a college assignment. It's almost 11pm on a Saturday evening. FML.

I'm trying to write some of my discussion section of my thesis. Could life get anymore exciting??!!

Have a look at this for a laugh.

Just reading some of the comments about this on you tube. I actually thought it wasn't real. What do you think? People are going mad about how its not funny but inspirational. The pessimist in me says its fake. If its real, its inspirational. Either way I think its funny.

Not fake. I think it's appalling. Also known as "The Crawl". Sian Welch and Wendy Ingraham. Both ran out of fuel. Incredible that they pushed themselves that far. Bad fuelling strategy.

Another youtube video with a bit of commentary...

I don't really put a lot of store in youtube commenters. Not known for being the most rational people.

(Ironman 1997 by the way).

:eek: wow thats something else. Yes, youtube comments are a joke.

Hmm.. I wonder can I get me some of that performance enhancing H before the Connemarathon. I think I've found a local dealer.

mrak · 06-11-2009 4:56pm

okay this is pure off topic.. I got an invite to that googlewave thing - not convinced about it but wasn't doing much - I added a public wave for Boards.ie Athletics/Running/Triathlon if anyone wants to post there. See what it's about anyhow. To find the wave search for

with:public Boards.ie Athletics

from gwave. You'll need a gwave account and I don't have any invites.

robinph · 06-11-2009 5:47pm

Just waved at mrak there.

Don't have any invites to dish out myself yet either.

for internet explorer its something like:
1.Select Internet Options from the Tools menu.
2.Click the Security tab.
3.Click Custom level… in Security level for this zone.
4.Scroll down to Scripting, near the bottom of the list.
5.Under Active scripting, choose Enable.

1. Enter one of the following addresses into the URL bar along the top:

Booking flights to the Lebanon. So excited. Bit of a last minute trip with a friend.

JKF · 07-11-2009 8:12pm

This is going to sound really paltry in comparison to some of the others hanging around here but I finally made it to the 5 mile mark today!

I'm normally wheezing like theres no tomorrow after about 4... So yay!

And I ordered my wedding dress today so good day all round

Apart from the assignment I have due for Monday which I still need to start...

There are 1000 Ireland -v- France tickets going on sale tomorrow, who wants to go into town and get me one and accompany me to the game. All my friends are either rugby fans or don't want to be out in the cold. :rolleyes:
