Brandy and Cigars: Off topic thread

D'Agger

Rogan?

I'm a fan - anybody who starts doing stand up at 13 and works at his passion as much as he has deserves a bit of credit. 50/50 is probably one of his lesser known roles and it's my favourite movie, he's quite good in it. I could be wrong but I think himself and his buddy started writing Superbad at 13/14 also which is nuts!

I can understand people not liking the guy, he is very goofy, but overall I think he's a talented, driven guy who's made some really good stuff.

The Black Oil

I heard him on the Bill Maher show recently and I believe spoke about dementia in front of the US Senate. Don't know much else about him, apart from that he's around.

I have to agree, D'agg. I am not his biggest fan. Some of his stuff drives me up the friggin' wall. But he is, as you said, talented, driven and passionate. I think his finest turn was as the wise-cracking cop in "Superbad". He is a good laugh at times, but I think the weed jokes and all that stoner stuff is overplayed.

Lads, the HD version of the original Sherlock Holmes film (with Robert Downey Jr.) is free on Google Play.

Was sitting exams today and this happened. Gotta love college!

Barna77

Second interview on its way.
Woohoo!

D'Agger

Well done Barna!

BK....dafuq? Was an explanation given to anybody who asked? Or did you all just take it in your stride?

Had training this morning, I'm still woefully unfit but glad to have 3 sessions done before January, hoping to keep pounding at the rock over the next 2 months, should have me in good stead with a bit of luck

Any big weekend plans by anybody?

Pat Mustard

Yes. I had a very tough week of work which has now ended. I plan on getting extremely intoxicated tonight and making an absolute fool of myself. Hopefully I will be taken home by the local constabulary, just to round off the evening. Good day.

Pondering popping into the city myself TM, a few Hendricks gins would go down a treat I'd say

JaseBelleVie

Just had a slap up meal in the aunt's house. I'm going to seriously chill for the rest of the evening, not stirring out.

Have some good-time shenanigans planned for the next few days, so I'm taking it nice and easy tonight.

Hope you all have a good weekend, whatever happens.

Absolutely nothing is getting done today.
So far we're in a rap mentality.

Good. Misery loves company. Huge pressure to get a payment out today so one of the clients can get their annual bonus. It is out of my hands though I will be blamed if it doesn't materialise.

keane2097

I have one meeting at lunchtime that's going to be a nightmare but after that I think I'll probably be wrapping up pretty quickly.

Just sat down with my youngest who is watching TV (MTV Hits) and I found myself tapping along to the music as we chatted, imagine my surprise to find out it was 1Direction....:eek:

Still in shock.....

I trust BC goes around saying I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle. :pac:

JaseBelleVie

Finished work, except for a few hours on Christmas Eve. Bring it on, baby!

Also, I might have a date arranged for the 27th. First time I'd be properly going out to see a girl in like over a year, so please wish me luck and please let me not f*ck it up.

You don't need luck, you'll be grand. The way to look at it is that she's a lucky girl to end your dating dry spell.

Aw, thanks, man! I really like her too, so I'm hoping that it goes well. Think I'm building it up a bit in my own head, but we're already on good terms.

Keep the fingers crossed!

And that line never seems to work for him.


In until we're told to leave on Wednesday. Though I always seem to be too busy to get away. Hopefully won't be the case this year.
Then back on the 5th.

This + 1000

JaseBelleVie

Thanks, lads! It's really making me calm down a bit now. I just really like this girl and thanks to a dating dry-spell and another kind of dry-spell too, I'm just so nervous.

Over a year since any kind of a date, and creeping up on six months since any kind of Carnal Knowledge with another person.

Relax and enjoy it Jase

No, the staff running it didn't have a clue why it was there...sums up that college in a nutshell

I haven't gotten off the couch all day. It's been a good day!

JaseBelleVie

Re-living my childhood a bit, but a friend of mine bought me the complete collection of Batman: The Animated Series for Christmas. I'm stunned at how well it has aged (it made its debut in 1992) and at how actually awesome it is! The intro scene alone is just amazing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEx9r5enZsk

And, of course, this is the origin of the most epic of epic superhero lines:

"I am vengeance! I am the night!!! I AM BATMAN!!!"

What better time to relive your childhood than Christmas?!

The Black Oil

Oh yeah, I remember that. That's Danny Elfman's theme, right?

Aw, man. I was ADDICTED to that show when I was about 5 or 6. Imagine the hissy fit I had when I got to see the Michael Keaton films? My all time favourite superhero. For sure.

And yeah, Danny Elfman's amazing music brought not only this series to life, but two of the films as well!

While I love Hans Zimmers' new music for the Nolan Trilogy, I much prefer the orchestral Elfman music.

If you can find one called Fundador it is meant to be nice. not a big spirits fan though

Pawwed Rig

For all the regulars and semi regulars and irregulars, lurkers, stalkers and even the trolls and re regs

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Slattsy

Merry Christmas lads, hope you all have a great/sober one

JaseBelleVie

Just home, I'm going to curl up on the sofa for the night, listening to music and/or watching films. Might venture out later for a bit or go to mass with the family, but the way I'm feeling right now I think there is little to no chance of that.

Merry Christmas to all of you, you wonderful and sexy people!

D'Agger

Bate on the couch after a Christmas eve and Christmas morning full of alcoholic beverages - fed now and about to fall into a long and blissful slumber

Happy Christmas y'all!

Christmas is more than a day now

I'm in France so it's all booze, food and fires. Just watched 71, I thought it was really good although it was pretty distracting constantly recognising the actors in it.

JaseBelleVie

Going for a late lunch tomorrow and then meeting up to go out on New Years Eve!!! I must have done something right!!! I'm walking on air!

A gentleman should never kiss and tell, but I did get a goodnight kiss. And it was awesome!

JaseBelleVie

Well, I dragged myself out of bed this morning at 7. Showered and shaved. Went out to find the car fully frozen over. Grumbling and griping, I returned to the house to get some warm water to get the ice off. Struggled into work at 10 kph (more or less) over abandoned, ice-covered roads. Get in to work. Everyone looks at me like I've 3 heads. I'm not meant to be in today. :P

What a f*cking eejit I really am!

Plus side: I was able to get a nice, hearty and warming breakfast, I've tomorrow off (I discovered today) and I'm now just going to chill (not literally) for the day and enjoy the idea that I've two extra days off for the Christmas holidays than I realised!

Slattsy

I've no idea what day of the week it is.

eh i dunno
