Tiffin? Picnic?

Would you like some more chocolate bar with your raisins?

Famous last words, eh Grimebox

Twirl - no, Moro & Picnic - yes

€50 for wedding gift - but then I'd given the gift of myself by paying €2000 to fly out to NZ

(Scarlett - yes. of course.)

I'll stick it in with the card. Is one enough and they can share a finger each or will I give 2 twirls?

I know a few people here post on PR, the forum has been hacked, you aren't actually banned.

Double decker and picnic - very overlooked.

Victory and defeat in one sentence. That is just magical.

How in the BALLS can you put picnic(defeat) along side double decker(victory)?

I knew your taste (Harp) was a bit warped, but this is that one step too far!

On the chocolate theme....heading to Kerry later and will be a few kms from the skellig chocolate factory...the greatest chocolate i have tasted in my life....strawberry and champagne truffles are to die for, and the location is stunning. Google 'skellig chocolate factory'....

Hagz

I remember going as a child every summer. They would do a sort of tour that would involve a lot of free chocolate being handed out. It was awesome.

Why isn't Good Friday a bank holiday here? I miss my 4-day weekends from back home...

Folks, if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit.... Join our club!

Basket of free chocolate bunnies and eggs from the finest chocolatier in the city rocked up in the lunch room earlier. I should probably share...

Twirl are the ones that nobody buys. Who actually says "I want a twirl easter egg" ?

Nobody - that's who. Nobody wants Twirl. It's one of those chocolates that are just there - you've no idea how they are still being sold cause you've never seen anyone buy one.

So I walk into the office at work...and one of the ladies has a box of Twirl in her bag. You just need to spend more time with the fairer sex, awec.

Since we're being pedantic, .ak please note it's folk not folks. Folk is already plural.

Dilemma.

On a stag do in Galway. Was already here on holidays with the missus. Sent her on her merry way a few hours ago. I'm sitting in the hotel, lads get here around 7. I have grossly underpacked and only have 4 beers.

When to start?

Who on earth has a stag do in Ireland on Easter weekend?!

According to a couple things I read online, only with food. I'm mildly reticient to actually ask the front desk if I can drink before 4 for fear of appearing like a rampant alcoholic.

Though once those 4 beers are gone I'll obviously check and probably end up buying a slap up meal I don't want.

It cost me a mild fortune to fly home for it as well.

So if a quartet was (were?) in pain would you say 'four folk ache' or 'four folks ache'?

I assume you'll be going to the dogs which is exempt, I believe, and then hoping that some places open at midnight (which I think is almost as sad as there being a drinking ban today).

There's a little village near here called 'Confoux' whose name not only sounds just like Kung-Fu but means 'mad eejits'.

In polite company you would avoid such phrases which could be miscontrued...besides what's wrong with "quatre gens ont mal" where you're living :P

Saw that second Hunger Games movie last night - is this one of these series of movies that you need to have read the books to understand?

God the movies are awful. Heard the books are fantastic though.

If you haven't seen Battle Royal please do yourself a favour and watch it.

I've enjoyed both the books and the films. There is a fair chance that a big part of my enjoyment for the films comes from a certain actress called Jennifer

Battle Royale is fantastic though, and ridiculously better than HG.

I don't even like Liverpool, but I've had to accept the thanks from all the Liverpool fans I know, as well as the abuse from Man Utd/Chelsea/Man City/Arsenal/Everton/Spurs fans..... an odd evening in the local.

You might notice I never use the word "we" unless I'm referring to Ireland. You probably never, ever noticed. Even still I try to avoid it. I'm a pedantic c*nt like that

Jesus lads when the sun is shining and the sky is blue, Kerry has to be one of the most striking parts of Ireland. Shorts on and walking the beach in glorious sunshine in April...couldn't be beaten...especially when it's a 2 minute walk along the beach to the local pub!!

Spent 3 and a half hours cooking a leg of lamb today. Massaged it, scored the skin, inserted garlic & herbs, cooked it beautifully, had roasted vegetables, home made roasties. My wife thought it was the best ever, my 14yo niece who "hates" lamb tried it & ended up eating 2 full portions!
Me? I just looked at it and said fck it, and chucked it in the bin!
I'm now sat here eating a can of saag aloo from aldi & happy as a pig in the brown stuff
Happy Easter!
