i'd put money on the fact that they will Panthro.

D'Agger

I always tend to never bother for halloween due to laziness and the fact that I don't need to dress up to look the fool!!

Dr Galen

I'll be moving the TV into the back room, closing the curtains and pretending that I'm not this year. Was a joke last year. Young ones from miles around coming to the house.

Sauve

Panthro that's cool!!
Get practising the accent though, just to top it off.

Damn my weak sinuses! This is twice in the last 2 and a half months they have flared up. I'm going to have to tell them to man up and stop making me sick :pac:

Ever tried sinus rinses? They're selling like hotcakes from my place, getting great reports from them.

I went to a Doc and got a prescription since it's a bit worse than normal. I'd normally try and avoid a doctor/drugs where possible, but this was a bit worse than normal and I sort of need to be back to normal for work ASAP.

For normal sinus problems I tend to use Sudafed. Might keep an eye out for those though!

Edit: I also seem to be trying to set a record for how many times I can say normal in the one sentence. Methinks I doth protest too much :pac:

Me too except it's slightly disheartening for me also - I've setup my standing orders to come out of my account on payday

So I check my account see a lump sum lodged, get happy, then, having forgotten about my standing orders proceed to read down through the list and see the pitiful sum I'm left with....this always saddens me

On the plus side I got holiday pay from finishing my previous job last week so I'll get to blow that on something I have no use for whatsoever....gona be awesome...at the time

Haha I know the feeling, most of my standing orders goes out on the 25th as well, make me feel slightly sad to see that money leaving the account:(

What did you spend the money on??

parker kent

I feel jealous now, don't get paid until the last day of the month. One more week to go!

I saved slightly more than I normally would - I dipped into the savings once or twice to pay for the holiday etc. and don't like doing that...

I'll probably buy a TV stand & a little shelving unit for keeping DVD/xbox/wii games in - got a 42" last month and it's currently resting on a coffee table, the only tables in Argos that're down as being able to support the weight of 42" are around €100 quid so might get one of those - normally I'd baulk at paying that much for something so mundane but it's an investment really - like the TV, I'll hopefully be using them for a long, long time.

I'd chance getting a table for cheaper that's build for a 32" TV but if it breaks then so does the TV so it's a bit of a catch 22!!

The remainder will go on beer during the upcoming Jazz festival

At least you're saving!:)

Oh IKEA does stuff like that I think, they are usually quite cheap as well, but it's a hassle to put the IKEA 'jigsaw puzzles' together though..

It''s always nice to have a bit of extra cash to spend though.

I'd go to Ikea were I heading to Dublin but won't be up for a good while I'd say - and it's hardly worth the trip for just one item

I don't mind the jigsaw thing - would normally put stuff together fairly easily once I'm left to my own devices

Ah yea, there is only one in Dublin, well Argos is alright too:) But they don't have meatballs though or daimcake mmmh

I broke my wrist putting one of those puzzles together, never again.

Should've left it to a man :pac: - Karma will ensure I break something next time I assemble an item of furniture no doubt!!

The only thing I liked in Ikea were these Potato cake things - kinda like hash browns but they had cheese and brocolli in them - they were unreal and it was around €1 for two or three - unreal value

stupidusername

I heard Ikea were trying to get planning permission down near Mitchellstown I think it was.

I sure hope so:pac:


Hmm not sure what they are, don't think I ever tried them. I usually just go there to eat so I might give them a go next time:D

Just had a Denny chicken and ham pie for dinner.Im pretty confident it consisted of little more than chicken heads and hog anus but damned if it wasnt tasty head and anus.

Determined to use this for lighting fags as often as possible.



There's something "grand" about using it instead of a 30c lighter. :pac:

Be very careful -
Thought I was deadly with one of those a few months back. It's deceptively long.
Bye bye eyelashes.

So anyone not making it to work / college this morning? My buses seem to be running very late,but there seems to be less traffic on the roads.so hoping I wont be too late.whether or not my office is flooded is another story...

Dravokivich

Made it in an hour-ish later. Going to discuss with my manager about getting VPN access arranged so I could work from home if something like this is to keep on occuring. Missing a day would be a pain in the ass for me.

Especially when it's likely there could be a bad winter to follow.

stupidusername

Yeah they're giving a bad winter.i keep meaning to sort myself out to work from home too,but since my contract is up in a month dunno if i'll bother. Office is fine here,grrr

Dravokivich

Dang, didn't realise you were only on again for a short term with them. Would be rather hard to look for more work with the way the weather is keeping up now.

18AD

I reluctantly decided to not go to college. Not cycling in this weather and the bus, if on schedule, would be too late to make it anyway.

Dravokivich

would you of had far to go in?

Skies clearing up around Leixlip last 20 - 30 mins.

18AD

Yeah, doesn't look too bad now. My next lecture is at 4 so I might make that.

It's about a 25 minute cycle, but the route was flooded pretty badly.

Dravokivich

Ah sure, you know how it is though with the weather here;

Sunny with a chance of clouds,
Cloudly with a chance of rain,
Hold on to your socks, it may get terribly windy also.

:pac:

D'Agger

Had a medical this morning for the new job - apparently I'm fit and healthy

Now to absolutely wreck my body over the course of the Jazz weekend

18AD

You going down to Cork? It's the first time in a good few years that I'll miss it. It's always great craic. Hopefully I'll catch some good gigs up in Dublin.

How're all the Dublin based people this morning? No hassle I hope? Dry socks all round?

Apologies, I also meant to ask this (honest!)

hope everyone's alright saw a vid of Dundrum last night - fairly scary looking stuff

afternoon

the sun is actually shining here!

ToxicPaddy

Sure is, lovely sunny out there now after the chaos of last night..

Loads of cars abandoned all over the shop when I was driving out of the city at lunchtime today, the causalities of last night it seems. Crazy I tell ya..
