OTB 4.0 - Banter rebooted!

Ms. Koi

Gang, have you noticed the increase in ads about making sure kids don't eat washing powder??

January

Yep... I'd half laugh but it's happened here. My eldest got hold of one of those liquid tabs and squashed it and it squirted into her eye and burnt her cornea. She was in her grannies at the time and it literally happened in a split second, her gran was washing the dishes and she got into the press, grabbed it and burst it. We reckon it was defective because I tried to burst one myself a while after and it took me a good while to actually burst it.

If it can do that to an eye, I'd hate to see what it can do to an oesophagus.

Seen this awhile back, blew me away!!


Was done by an Australian based Artist Kegan Hawkins!
He has some nice realistic stuff

Haha. In the bf's apartment (it's next door to his mother's house) and his mam drops dinner in to us to be nice. Apparently she asked his 22 year old brother to drop it in, but he refused because he's intimidated by me because I'm female :pac:

The first time he met me, he was bringing the wheelie bins out, and got so flustered that he knocked one over :pac: poor guy

I'm thinking of getting tickets to see How Now Mrs. Brown Cow for myself and the auntie.
We regularly go to comedy gigs together so it'd be a laugh. I just hope I don't get stung on the booking/handling charge.
Feeling a bit iffy today- I slept like a log last night but I'm still tired. I blame the weather- need a decent thunderstorm to clear up all this humidity.

Got a free pint for heroism!

Lies. Not really heroism. Was in a bar and two old guys started fighting(no idea why). Myself and a friend get between the two old fellas to stop them hitting each other and one leans over and bites the other guy's hand, blood everywhere. Eventually one leaves and the barmaid gives us a free pint for our trouble.

It's an old man pub so it was a great talking point for the bar's regulars who claimed it we broke up
this rather than this (reality)

Penny Tration

Oh god. Wearing a jumper to work in this heat is killing me. I wish they'd order our bloody summer uniforms

Orim

Good news everyone. Gots me my new jobby :pac:

Penny Tration

Well done!

Lockstep

Staying with the parents for the weekend. It's all fun and games until the cat decides 4am is a great time to demand belly rubs from me by waking me up/scaring the bejaysus outta me.

Sure no better time for a belly rub :pac:

My cat used to be a terror for attacking my feet when I was asleep if she was in the room.

Angron

One of the people I lived with before had a cat that would do something similar. There was no proper lock on my door, it could get into the room. Every so often she'd spaz out, and just start clawing my back.

Penny Tration

My dog sleeps downstairs, but in the morning when I come down, she immediately runs upstairs, goes into my sisters' room and licks their faces til they wake up.


I'm so feckin' tired. hour and a quarter left in work, then 2 days off. Gonna spend them mostly sleeping

This song speaks to me on a spiritual level. This and White & Nerdy will forever be known as my personal theme tunes.

Well done on the new job, Orim and fair play for breaking up the fight Lockstep.

We're off to the zoo tomorrow with the kiddies if it's not raining! Fingers crossed!

My dog does this weird fetal position thing by the kitchen door some mornings when it's time to send him out the back to get fed and to do his business.

D'aww! I miss my cat and dog Luckily I only live half an hour away from home though so I can visit when I like

Lockstep

My parents live just outside Galway so I see them often enough in town but don't head back to theirs that often. Not that it matters to the cat. Anytime I'm there, he ignores me unless he wants belly-rubs.

He's getting a lot more eccentric now though. There's a bathtub in the back garden and he'll now sit there for hours, just...staring.



Cats man. How do they work?

i actually got a new wee kitten last week.we had decided in the last few weeks or so that we'd get one for the kids and i was coming home from work last thursday night and i found a little kitten in the middle of town limping around.no idea how he got there but he was crying and staring at me with those little kitty eyes and hobbled over to me and i couldnt just leave him there so i took him home with me.i brought him to the vet the next morning.she seemed to think he might have fallen from an apartment balcony but he's on painkillers and seems to be doing fine now and the kids love him to bits.my wifes terrified of cats but i think she's coming round to him.she even briefly let him sit on her lap which is a big deal to her

Orim

Well done baron. Nicely played.

My head is melted at the moment. Combination of being checked out in work and just not knowing what to be doing with myself in general.

Just pinged my artist though, hopefully will be able to get some more work on my leg.
