Speaking of beer, RIP WJ Kavanaghs

It being a bit out of my way, I didn't get to it as often as I'd have liked, but they always seemed to have a more adventurous selection than the Galway Bay bars. Does that mean L. Mulligans is the only bar to get the McGraths range in now?

We've lost all post since about 6:30am.

Presumably this means anyone infracted for a post between then and now has got a reprieve. :pac:

tough few days ahead, I'd mine out last March, all 4 too.

There will be no pain at all from tomorrow onwards, just an utter inability to bite / chew anything for 6-8 days.

Got a liquidiser?

Really? I'm lucky that it hasn't been too sore today, just uncomfortable really! I got the IV sedation which worked out well so i can't complain.

Yeah i'll be liquidizing everything in sight! I'm also lucky that i'm off until next week anyway.

Mine were all impacted, so I had to go under General Anesthetic at the hospital to have them out. Takes you a while to get away from the grogginess of it!

Greek Yoghurt was a godsend, mashed sweet potato & cream, apple sauce.

The only real discomfort is if you bite down on the gums or if anything 'catches' on the stitches. So be careful not to eat anything that might get stuck.

I had some tongue and cheek paralysis for about 3 weeks after, that was pretty scary but faded.
Also, I looked like someone had smacked me in the jaw with a hurley for 2/3 days.

Other than that, grand sure!

All of my wisdom teeth came down in the space of a week without any problems when I was about 20.

Just thought you'd all like to know.

Aye I've been under general anaesthetic 4 times this year - the day after it feels like you're quite hungover.

And when you initially wake up you feel absolutely hammered for about 5 minutes. Nurses must hear some amount of nonsense being talked.

Last time I had a general I woke up in the recovery room beside a woman who had just had a c-section so she had her baby with her. Hearing a baby crying while that groggy was so unnerving.

Ha yeah, I was talking some absolute nonsense after my last surgery. There's also that horrible window that you have to go through as you wait for the anaesthetic to wear off before they can administer morphine. After having your leg split open and a load of nuts and bolts drilled into your bones you're in this limbo where you feel like, well, feel like somebody has split open your leg and drilled a load of nuts and bolts into your bones.

My sister is a nurse and in no way a rugby fan (rebelling due to the fact that the rest of us are!) and she has a great story of Darce when he was in for surgery at one stage. She says that everyone wakes up looking like crap and talking all sorts of jibberish. Darce woke up looking no different to normal and just said "Hey, how's it going?". She's been a fan ever since. Of Darce that is, not rugby....

Cheers. It's Twenty Fourteen. I spent feckin' ages going through the different themes. There's some really great looking ones, but trying to find that balance between the look and the usability was a bit of a pain in the arse. I'm happy enough with how it's turned out though.

Also expect a hacking and a viciously pro-PRL article to appear!

Haha! I look forward to it. Although what's there already may surprise in that sense.

I haven't gone beyond the web interface yet, and probably won't as there's not much need to really so it should be pretty stable....hopefully. Or am I in for a few nasty surprises!?

Nah, you should be absolutely fine. Keep it up to date and only use decent plugins which are also kept up to date. Thats the only real upkeep needed for Wordpress. None of the scripts should need touching, unless the server has a specifically strange setup or you want to do something like use SMTP mail instead of php mail().

I haven't seen it yet because signatures don't show on touch.boards.ie and I can't find the link!

Ah it's on wordpress.com, then you'll have no trouble at all. If you ever think of hosting it elsewhere (if you want rugbywaffle.ie for example!) then I can tell you how to do that, surprisingly easy to do!

Yeah was thinking of it, but decided not to go to the expense of hosting until I know whether I'm going to keep it going or not. If I do I'll probably look to get my own domain name all right. Cheers.

How come thermostats are so fcuking confusing?

Did anyone else see the news about the former Miss Venezuela and her ex-husband getting killed during car-jacking? I worked with a girl once who was part Venezuelan and half crazy (in a good sort of way). Anyway, she told a story from a hospital she worked in back home. Carjackings are rife, and usually it involves the guys hopping in the back and putting a gun to the driver's head and telling him where to go etc. Anyway, drivers often get so nervous they crash apparently. So one day this surgical reg heads away in his car. The guys jump in, but tell him to sit in the back while they drive off, not wanting him to crash the car with nerves. As they drive off, he calmly pulls out a gun, shoots the 2 assailants dead, drives back to the hospital, dumps the 2 guys in the morgue, cleans the car...and drives off. So he wasn't so nervous as they expected after all.

1. Delighted with Sunderland's victory over Man Utd, well-deserved imo... if Sunderland won a cup, that would pretty much make my year! Only an all-conquering City and a trip to Old Trafford in the way :eek::(:eek:



2. And I've been tinkering with a blog of my own for a while, but I don't really want to publish stuff until I've got the layout and heading right. I have absolutely no artistic skills, does anyone have an idea of the best theme to use and a way to just have the name of the blog, and maybe a little subtext without looking absolutely shít??
