    Formula one driving Is quite simply the most boring sport ever :p
    Jaysus don't let the English wing of my lot hear you say that :o Annemarie is so hardcore about it she went to monte Carlo to see it once.

    I walked in to the sitting room - we have guests - I said what is that f-ing horrible noise?!
    Dad points to Mary (6 year old) who is busy scraping her rubber soled feet on the wooden floor. It was like nails on a blackboard to me. I instinctively cover my ears but that's no use as the implant bypasses those, the sound is in your head (telepathy harhar)
    I copped on. Whipped off the earpiece 'ahhhhh relief'

    Shockin stuff - I'll forever know that kid as rubber-sole Mary

    Beautiful morning in Belfast, day started with a full breakfast to ward off the potential hangover and followed with a nice walk round Stormont Estate. Best way to recouperate after a lengthy pub crawl through the costume covered city last night!

    The sooner the better the roadworks in the Phoenix Park are done, I don't enjoy being "tailgated" on my bike by jeeps on the narrow roads...

    Hated that when I cycled. The worst I've encountered was being nudged into a set of hand railings by and car and left to cling to them for all I was worth as I would have fallen into the on coming line of traffic behind me. So I walked home destroyed in blood, not a good night!

    Lucky I don't have a baseball bat near by, I could have used it 10 minutes ago when I was left livid by certain remarks from my mum and brother. I could have kicked both of them stupid :mad:

    Jeez - glad I don't cycle!

    Kirstie's homemade britain appeals to my inner Martha Stewart

    This week it's decoupage. I'm getting the urge to plaster something in paper. After a scary movie anyway!

    She's wearing on the ears when you have a 14 year old daughter who insists on playing that song everytime she is in the car!

    Well I have developed a reflex grumpy noise to the opening chords of the song which has developed a reflex fast forward move from daughter number one which I must say is an excellent demonstration of classical conditioning :pac:

    Wouldn't worry at all ITMA, they are likely to assume it's a family members account.

    I hate the way you can't prove discrimination at the cv stage. But lots of people have mad or even inappropriate email addresses on their cv so it's unlikely they'd even notice or pay attention to it even if they did

    You'd be amazed. Especially before having your name in your email addy was common practice.
    Less scary but equally not-exactly-appropriate were things like cutie63 mrhotstuff86 etc. Remember those days! My mail was madbebubbles@garfield at one stage. It never went on my cv though. Not that a 15 year old tends to need a cv!
