I'm afraid my playing days are long behind me Pretzill :pac: I prefer to spectate nowadays

Nah it's civil service, have been working up in Castlebar the past 2 years and now coming back (once all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed).

Huge difference though, will be back to Mon-Fri with no overnights, and more importantly no massive commute either side of 10hr shifts

What's Necro done now?

Won the civil service lottery. Well done Necro. FG will be quieter without you during the wee hours.

Pretty much what it feels like tbh Molly

I emailed them the day I became eligible and they came back with a pre-offer 6 days later!

Congrats Necro. May it not interfere with your gifs and WW games

Sounds great, well done Necro

I once worked with a guy in the NI civil service who travelled from Derry every morning to the office in Belfast. He'd been waiting 6 years for a transfer. I thought he was nuts. But that's the civil service up here!

Spending the morning avoiding my neighbour who is moving out but looking for a lift to move some of his stuff...



(I don't mind helping neighbours but this guy is a tool, and an anti-vaxxer to boot so F him :P )

Baggly

He needs the lift even more so if he is an anti vaxxer.

He needs something alright

Crazy pills, or a fist in the face, whichever works quicker :pac:

Baggly

Crazy pills are just placebo's Necro. You are so far into the pharma companies pockets you cant even tell....:D

Saw Joker tonight. Agree with you Necro.. it was fantastic and agree with you too BH, give that man an Oscar!!!

If any of you are itching for more broody Joaquin after watching Joker, give 'You Were Never Really Here A Go'. I won't promise that you'll love it or even like it, it's quite different, but he's some actor and this is another movie which displays that.

Agreed, I loved it!
It is bleak though. My wife still worries about me that I thought there was one moment in it that was almost happy (in his mum's kitchen)

Such a beautiful scene, I could write a fkin essay on that moment.

The soon-to-be Mrs. Redman wasn't gone on the movie but I loved it.

It really is beautiful. Mrs Nitwit disagrees (though she loves the film), we'll always have each other though Stu

Congrats Stu! No need to thank me. You just needed that little push and i was happy to guide you.

Yeah that was my attempt at a soft reveal, a "Well don't say I never told yis", but Necro has surely gotten me into pole position for the next lynch now

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I was supposed to do it in Iceland last year but didn't have my affairs in order and kinda shat out of it, so I dragged us back this year to do it!

I didn't propose by a waterfall or some famous landmark, just in a nice restaurant in the aftermath of an amazing meal with some really good people. I had a 'prop' ring for the proposal, and then we went to a goldsmith the following morning in Isafjordur. The ring is in the post now so there's no turning back!

Special thanks also to Baggly, without him...well I'd probably be dead :pac:

Balloons for everyone at next beers!

Baggly

Its time for you to emerge from under my wing, young Stuart, and fly your own path now.






I said i wasnt going to cry.......

Baggly in top form here, I'm loving it

Lol, just about anywhere I go in Iceland I think 'Rivendell'. I was humming the Shire theme in my head for most of our hikes over there.

You should have sneakily gotten her pregnant first so you could present the ring and say "This is why mums go to iceland" - Double whammy!
It would have been worth it. It would.

Loving the thread title change!

Congrats Stu.

Do you really want Baggly doing a best man's speech based on shenanigans from here

Congrats to you and Future Mrs Stu.

We've had both positive and negative progress with new kitty. She now lets us pet her and is happy to take treats off us. While she's still mostly hiding behind the couch, she did come out on Thursday and ate some food while Mr Molly was in the room. Yay. This morning we left the door ajar and she actually came out of the room. Problem is she headed straight towards the room kitty #1 was in because someone (coughmecough) had accidentally left the door open. So Mr Molly got up and she got scared again and scarpered back into her room. Doh!

My family think we're absolutely nuts letting her come out in her own time. We've had her almost 3 months now.

Delighted to hear updates and improvements.

Sure how else can she come out but in her own time? You can't force the matter.

You're brilliant and patient, and well done.

When are you planning to introduce the two? Are they both neutered females? Might be an idea to do it soon. They probably already know there's another there by the smell. You might even find #2 swells in confidence being with #1 when she sees that #1 isn't afraid of you.

We used to recommend that with dogs - a nervous dog being rehomed with a confident one to make the nervous one more confident. I can't imagine it would be that dissimilar with cats.
