Favourite Beatles album? Why?

If you don't listen to them, why not?

I like a good few of their songs, but for some reason I've never listened to any of their albums in full. I'll get back to you about it.

If you don't listen to them then get off my internets!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Haven't listened to any Rush albums yet. D4RK ONION keeps recommending their material though. I'll get back to you about it.

What looks most appealing to you on that list and will you do it? :P

I've done paintballing

I also climbed Croagh Patrick (with Limerick_Dude)

so Carauntoohill is next on the list. Limerick_Dude could also tell you a story about the last time we tried mountain-biking, but it's one of those things that you really had to be there to appreciate

Bungee-jumping would be awesome. So would sledding, but I don't know of any frozen hills around my part of Limerick that have easy access.

Jako8 · 10-01-2010 1:55am

I'll climb Carauntoohil with ye

What would you like to do instead of primary teaching? Since you don't see yourself doing that in the long term?

jumpguy · 10-01-2010 1:55am

Ahh Poet Man, you've a good bit under your belt so! There's no need to make a fool outta yourself to be "extreme and dangerous" after all.

For sledding, come to rural Limerick bub.

I'd climb Carauntoohill too, I had the ****ing opportunity last year but my parents wouldn't let me (I don't even like thinking about it...). If you're doing it give us a tell...

What part of Limerick are you from? I'd like to go sledding as well?

Jayzuz lads, have you ever been outside the city? There'd loads. Find any hill with a road/field with snow and ice on it and off you pop. You could go down to the black rock valley in Killarney, judging from the news it's good down there but the roads are bad. TBH, time is nearly up now...unless this snow we're meant to be getting is serious and it doesn't thaw this week to get rid of the ice.

It'd be difficult in the city though getting to rural places, I can understand, with the roads. So unless you can walk, it's probs best not to.

What made you choose your college course?

Do you like/dislike it and why?

I'd been thinking about doing teaching since I was in Primary school, got to spend 2 weeks in a classroom for TY work experience and still liked the idea. By the time I got around to filling out my CAO I hadn't come up with any better ideas, so I put teaching at the top of the list. It was also quite convenient to go to Mary I, as it only takes 15 minutes to cycle from my house to college.

I really dislike parts of the course and like other parts. The best thing about the place is the people I've met there. Have a read through the Mary I sticky thread in the UL forum for a better idea of the ups and downs of the college.

I honestly don't know. That's part of the problem at the moment. I have too many interests, it's been difficult trying to narrow down my options.

Out near the Gaelic Grounds, if that helps.

Enjoy that! And be careful, etc.

I enjoy a little bit of salt with only a tiny bit of vinegar on my chips. Curry sauce beats all others though.

I hope so! Nearly recorded a new one last week, but then realised at the last minute that the XD card was missing from my camera.

The whole lake would not have been rock solid.
Only the top layer and even then it depends how deep that could be.
Parts of the lake will not be as frozen as others.
You were lucky in the parts you were walking and .....jumping on(:eek:)

To Insect Overlord!

Favourite bad guy in a movie?

Well if you fall through that ice I'm going to come down and kick your bottom for putting your life in danger!

Stick to the edge bits at least, not away out in the middle if you do go.

Another question to I.O

If you had to spend a year in one city in the world and only that city.....which one would it be?

suitcasepink · 10-01-2010 2:30am

Whats your favourite flavour crisps? And do you agree "ready salted" are the most boring, non-edible of all crisps?

Oh and whats the deal with your username did you find a new fascination in insects?

Do you think you'd make a good pirate? :P

I know, it wasn't. But there was atleast 2 inchs of ice on it (guesstimate, it held me anyway!). But I'd heard they were people skating on it today and wanted to try it out. It was dark and I was with a friend (probably not the safest...). It's been frozen over since the beginning of the cold snap and was very thick. I didn't go out to the middle or anything though.

Yes, but only within Limerick. I occasionally do stewarding work at the Gaelic Grounds too, which is very cool! :pac:

I've actually never spoken to a female traveller before, to be honest.

Scott Evil, Austin Powers 3

Tyler Turden in Fight Club, if you want a more serious answer.

That's a pretty good question. Vancouver is an impressive city, but from what I've experienced of it I might find it too similar to Ireland. That was how it felt when I visited the place anyway.
I'd like to see Italy. I definitely wouldn't mind switching to the Mediterranean diet and weather for a year

Which city in particular, I have no idea.

Cheese and onion is always the best. BBQ can be nice sometimes as well.
Ready Salted are awful, but Salt & Vinegar are the least edible of all crisps.

I saw that old episode of the Simpsons when Homer goes to space, and that scene when the ant-farm explodes in the space-ship stayed on my mind. Then somebody started complaining over in After Hours about the over-used "I for one welcome our new _____ overlords" line, so I adopted it as my name to see if it would get any bit of a reaction

I'd make a grrrrrrrrreat pirate!

hitlersson666, not a single one of your posts in this thread has been on topic. I'm going to move your conversation over to The Den. Post off-topic in a thread like this again and you will be infracted.

*takes off Mod-hat*

Everyone else, keep the questions coming
