What is your opinion on the following things:

Harry Potter I'd shift him. I cried when Dumbledore died. Severus Snape is some man for one man. The Order of The Phoenix is the most boring of all the movies. I never liked Ginny.

Waterford A disproportionate number of C&Hers are from there. Waterford City isn't really a city, is it?

Me You're a strong black woman who don't need no man.

Oxegen It was the bants. I left my dad's tent there and told him it got slashed, because I
couldn't be bothered taking it down. I still don't think he's forgiven me. I text you there because I was alone and couldn't find my tent and you never text back </3

Teen pregnancy Great craic

Pro life campaigners I'm sure some of them are reasonable enough, but the ones of seen in Cork are all too fond of just using pictures to shock people into signing some petition or other rather than actually informing them of anything. I disapprove.

Atheism I'm more agnostic myself but no problem with it. Militant atheists are annoying, but
so are militant anything really.

Powerpuff girls I can't remember their names and it us a cruel reminder of how fast my childhood is fading. Buttercup, Bubbles and...Benjamin?

Those women were in the nip!

Where're you hoping to go? Preferably Trinity, but the more real the whole college thing becomes, the more I freak out and become a human crumble at the prospect of moving out/going to a new city where I don't know anyone (bar my sister). I frustrate myself.

Do it. Seriously, go to Dublin. There is so much more to do there. If I could go back in time I would have gone to Trinity or UCD because Cork is seriously too small (let alone any other "cities" in Ireland.)

Speaking of Cork, despite it's smallness I don't appear to have ever bumped into you on the street (that one street Cork has.) Why is this? Do you avoid me because you despise me?

If Pacman was called Blackman, and all the ghosts were white, would that be racist?

If ζ(z) is a complex valued function in an infinite dimensional Banach space, who's the coolest member of One Direction?

Suppose the marketing whores at DIAGEO are about to launch a new cocktail; the Namlub. You must design this cocktail. What shall it contain? And, more importantly, shall it come with a tiny umbrella?

Now suppose, after the huge success of the Namlub, Kim Jong un appoints you as his successor. As the new Dear Leader of North Korea, do you bring democracy and stability to the people or do you continue the reign of brutal dictatorship and brainwashing?

You're right I know, I just need to man up, put my balls to the wall, etc. Well, in a manner of speaking...

Speaking of Cork, despite it's smallness I don't appear to have ever bumped into you on the street (that one street Cork has.) Why is this? Do you avoid me because you despise me? I've actually seen you numerous times, but I felt compelled to hide behind conveniently located bushes or disguise myself as a mannequin to save you the disappointment of realising that I'm a 47 year-old man I'm just awkward and unfunny in real life

If Pacman was called Blackman, and all the ghosts were white, would that be racist? Yes, not to mention incredibly difficult to play as Pacman/Blackman would just blend in with the background.

If ζ(z) is a complex valued function in an infinite dimensional Banach space, who's the coolest member of One Direction? By virtue of the fact that he is the most uncool, which I consider cool, I would say Niall. The rest of them swan around in their chinos dating models and older women, then you look at the big Irish head on him and he just looks so confused and out of place, like he got lost on the way to play hurling. He amuses me.

Suppose the marketing whores at DIAGEO are about to launch a new cocktail; the Namlub. You must design this cocktail. What shall it contain? And, more importantly, shall it come with a tiny umbrella? Rum, amaretto, vanilla coke and lime (I'm actually intrigued by this combination and would like to try it), to be served in a scale model of Marty Morrisey, made of glass. Naturally it would have a tiny umbrella AND a sparkler, until the inevitable lawsuit by someone who didn't realise that fire was dangerous and tried to eat it, and it has to be removed.

Now suppose, after the huge success of the Namlub, Kim Jong un appoints you as his successor. As the new Dear Leader of North Korea, do you bring democracy and stability to the people or do you continue the reign of brutal dictatorship and brainwashing?I would never be so presumptuous as to impose democracy in the totalitarian state they so lovingly maintained, I mean that would be like a totally fascist thing to do. I would stop threatening the western world with nuclear weapons though, it's risky enough for a country that barely has the internet

Noel didn't text me back at Oxegen either. Do you think he thinks he's too cool for the likes of us? How would you suggest we go about planning our revenge?

Best and worst things about school?

OR he was just pretending to be there, but actually spent the whole weekend in his bedroom listening to Steps and weeping. He shan't be invited to Moxygen out my back garden this July anyway.

Best and worst things about school? Best: Leaving Nah, there are certain days when things aren't going too badly, I have grand chats with my friends and I think I could almost miss the place.
Worst: Not being able to relax or do anything without feeling guilty that I'm not studying, being stuck with the same load of girls for years and general lack of freedom, the fact all anyone seems to talk about anymore is going out and it gets ridiculously boring, maths.

What do you think will be the best and worst things about college? Best: Bants, studying things that I actually like (hopefully), meeting new people, not being treated like an eight your old, and did I mention bants?
Worst: Not having money, the fact I'll inevitably leave assignments to the last minute, deciding what to do afterwards

What is your opinion on:
Naps Excellent. When I am leader/dictator, I'll introduce siestas like they have in Spain. Why shouldn't we be entitled to mid-afternoon naps just because it isn't sunny?! :mad:

Cars Handy aul yokes all the same. Would be even handier if I could drive...

Coffee Superior to tea in every way. I even enjoyed the coffee flavour Roses. Vital when I feel like I'm going to die, but need to study. Gooood with a cigarette. Instant coffee is crap.

Boards Prevents me from studying and will be the reason I fail my LC and end up working in a toothpaste factory for all time. Many, many forums I don't understand.

RTE I watch it for Hardy Bucks and films (also Reeling In The Years ). Other than that, most of what they show is appallingly terrible and they seem to have no idea what people actually want to watch. Annoys me when people complain but still watch it religiously every night because they think it's the only option. Katherine Lynch is not funny.

I don't know what to put here

wat is dis/ A thread (sometimes called a topic) is a collection of posts, usually displayed from oldest to latest, although this is typically configurable: Options for newest to oldest and for a threaded view (a tree-like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order) can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarize the intended discussion, and an opening or original post (common abbreviation OP, which can also mean original poster), which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished. A thread can contain any number of posts, including multiple posts from the same members, even if they are one after the other.

Sum up the your day in one word. Warm

Got milk? Milk chocolate. It's a nutritious source of calcium, y'know.

Hi

What's the one gig you want to go to that you haven't been to yet?

Are you going to any music festivals this year?

Coffee or tea?

Favorite country?

Do you have a job?

Pretty sure I'll think of some more later.

BYE

Would you recommend Green Wing? I vaguely remember watching a few episodes when it was on but wasn't sure of it at the time. My taste in TV is vaguely hipsteresque.

How is babby formed?

How do I shot web?

Are memes annoying?

Should I order a takeaway this evening, even though I have food downstairs?

Namlub

Thanked this but forgot to answer >.<

Favourite pizza brand? Dominos for takeaway, Dr Oetker for frozen. I want pizza.

China or Dalai Lama? Dalai Lama, orange is so his colour

Preferred animal shown on TV/Film etc? Penguins are always fun. Babe is the cutest movie animal ever though, after seeing it I went vegetarian for like...a week.

Do you like dubstep? I do, can't say I listen to a huge amount of it though. Speaking of, I just remembered that Oxegen wasn't actually the only time I've been at a proper gig/festival because I saw Bassnectar when I was in Cannes. It is difficult to dance to.

You'll regret it >_>

If you could play any instrument perfectly (assuming you can't already), what would it be? Piano. There's actually a piano in my house, which I forgot existed until like last week. I could teach myself to play, like that Beethoven lad...

Favourite sweet(s) in the Cadbury Roses tin? Strawberry! Never trust people who don't like the strawberry Rose

What part of France did you go to? (Repondez en français si vous voulez!) Oh la la. Je suis allee a Cannes pendant deux semaines, c'etait super. Je peux pas utiliser les accents

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father - prepare to die.

Hi Aloha

What's the one gig you want to go to that you haven't been to yet? Daft Punk. I'd die.

Are you going to any music festivals this year? I'd love to go to Benicassim, but everyone else is more interested in going to Magaluf so it's unlikely. Also, most people who say they're going to Tomorrowland are lying

Coffee or tea? Coffee, can't remember the last time I had tea

Favorite country? France/most countries that aren't Ireland

Do you have a job? Nope, but I did before Christmas. I'm due the rest of my wages this week actually, yay money.

Pretty sure I'll think of some more later.

Major respect for your answer to the Roses question, my favourite too. I don't get people who dislike them!

Ah trés bien!

Est-ce-que vous êtes allée pour faire un séjour, ou avez vous un petit boulot à Cannes? Je voudrais aller en France une journée.

(I'm still unsure of how to fit the word 'there' into a sentence instead of just repeating the place name.) :cool:

Favourite words? Favourite simile?

You have to choose between:

Bourbon and Custard Cream
Paddington and Yogi

Rupert The Bear and Rupert Murdoch
Michael Jackson, the talented kid, and Michael Jackson, the weird not-a-kid-any-more guy
Kermit and Elmo
Florence and The Machine

Go.

It makes me laugh more than anything ever and the fact they only made two seasons kills me, but everyone's different (and I've got an odd sense of humour). I'm sure it's all on 4od so you could watch a few episodes and see? I'd say it's suitably non-mainstream.

How is babby formed? In my opinion, they need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?

How do I shot web? I am not familiar with this
/leaves internet

Are memes annoying? Old and overused ones are. I'm looking at you, Picard Facepalm

Should I order a takeaway this evening, even though I have food downstairs? As it's now 2:03 and I think there's a hurricane outside, I wouldn't say so, no.
