haha D'Aggs, great avatar.

Cheers brah - got Italy in the draw so I'm going all out, plus Pirlo is a champ

Pepe LeFrits

Found and have been offered a room... in Temple Bar.

This should be interesting!

Knex*

Congrats! You taking it?

Pepe LeFrits

Yeah I think so. I'm homeless on Saturday week so it's a relief to find somewhere; if it doesn't work out I can always find another place later with less time pressure. I think it could be pretty cool living there though.

D'Agger

Well done man - hope it works out okay for you!

I forgot to close the back door of the house this morning so had to tear home at half 12....thankfully we weren't robbed but dear god....talk about dropping the ball!

I don't venture into this forum very often but as I didn't feel the question warrented its' own thread, I figured I'd just ask in here:
Can anyone recommend any good beard-related things to buy as a gift for a hairsuite relative? I was thinking something along the lines of a tonic for the hair and skin but I'm not sure where to start.
Any suggestions would be great.

Well, just so as you're aware - the Facial Hair & Hats forum is here you may find more along the lines of what you're looking for here.

Personally - I'd recommend almond oil - it's cheap and you can pick it up in boots - rub it into hair and skin after a shower before bed and you'll notice the effects - there's an article here on its benefits

If this person likes to groom then I recently invested €10 in a decent hairbrush - again, you can pick up a decent one in boots, maybe add in a tub of their favourite gel/product put it all in a box and you have a nice, personal gift.

Hope that helps

It's sort of warm... isn't it? :pac:

Saw a bunch of guys in other building having a bbq for their lunch break

Cheers, D'Agger. Thanks for the links. Almond oil you say? Sure, if it makes my brother smell like a Battenburg...! :pac:

All I can suggest is to defrag and do a System Cleanup to dump out the cache of old files but aside from that, I'm stumped.

Yeah sounds good.
Can you tell me how to do all of the above?

Sure thing.

I assume you're a Windows user?
If so, go to Start Menu and look in the Accessories Menu under All Programs.
Go into System Tools and you should find Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter.
Both are relatively straightforward enough to use though the defrag can take a long while if you have a fair amount of clutter on your computer.

Hope it helps!

Check your startup list aswell. A surprising amount of dirt gets running without you even knowing.

CCleaner is a windows essential for cleaning up all programs/files/etc. Just use the free vrsion

Slattsy

Cheers buddies!!

That disc defrag looks like it could take a few weeks run lol

Stick with it- it'll usually take a couple of hours to clean out a large backlog of clutter. I'd recommend leaving it overnight if you can.

Slattsy

Yeah i think i'll just do that man, cheers.

Yaaay, Steam sale.

Slattsy

Gotta love cheap steam.

I use the kettle myself.

You might want to look at a third party tool for defragmentation. Try download.com. I found the Windows tools to be somewhat inefficient.

Weekend \o/

Monday off \o/

What ye up to this weeknd gents? My best mate and his girlfriend, who I haven't seen since Christmas, are coming up to Dublin today for the weekend. Can't wait and it's going to be a full on session

Liam McPoyle

Going to a really good mates 30th birthday barbecue at his gaff then depending on how that goes perhaps on to town afterwards.

Looking forward to it and it will be muchos boozios!

Knex*

Back in 'Caaaaark' for the weekend as folks needed helps with stuff around the home, but heading out for a BBQ and drinks at a mates house, and we'll see where that takes us after.

Enjoy, peeps!

D'Agger

I'm in Kerry but there's an off chance I'll end up out in Cork tonight also! Mini beers ftw Knex :pac:

Knex*

The lads are already talking about Holy Cow and Voodoo Rooms, so no doubt I'll be ending up in a pub somewhere in Cork. If I hear a Kerry accent I'll wander over

Pepe LeFrits

Women!

Newly single work colleague, woman?

Pepe LeFrits

Sadly no! That's a rant for another day I'm sure :pac:

A week ago I hooked up with a girl I've become friends with recently. This weekend she invites me along to her birthday drinks so I head along. She spends the whole evening doing the loved-up girlfriend routine with some other dude (arms around each other's waists, kissing, talking to the group as a couple). Now that I think back, I'm pretty sure she slept with him the same weekend she did with me.

She's not the only girl in the picture at the moment so I wasn't exactly crying into my wit bier, but it did seem like pretty insulting behaviour all the same.

Ahh, I've had that.

Some women, and men tbh, are like that. I can think of at least two, straight off the bat, that I know and was involved in similar scenarios with.

Walked away quick the second time, but the first time I was a little too dimwitted. They never changed in the years after that I knew them, that's for sure. Have their cake and eat it too, comes to mind.

Even if she does get onto you again, I would strongly recommend walking away! :pac:

In my experience, even though it isn't nice and you do feel insulted, I wouldn't take it too personally. Obviously I'm jumping to conclusions here, but she seems like one of those drama, attention loving women. Wibbs had a great post over in the Ideal Women thread about this.

Scratch the weekend off as a bit of fun, and best of luck with the others :cool:

Pepe LeFrits

haha, she texted me the following day inviting me out for 'extended birthday drinks'. I declined

I'm hardly an angel when it comes to this sort of stuff myself and I don't expect any girl to be beholden to me after a hook-up, but I wouldn't invite them to a party and then rub their nose in it either.

I'd just cut her out but she and another friend of mine are inseparable, so I'll just have to continue to maintain the ice cool exterior!

@Pepe - that's ****! I want to hear all the details

First day back in work after a week off in sunny Spain and I'm wrecked. Feel like all the energy has been zapped out of me

Knex*

Quiet enough week in here, eh? How's everyone?

Friday, y'all!

Pawwed Rig

It's been quiet alright. I been studying for an exam tomorrow which I am going to perform poorly in . It is a CA for 15% so I am just gonna try and pick up as many marks as possible and cover the shortfall in the end of year exam. Really have not got my head into the studying this time around. World Cup isn't helping :pac:
