Finished up at the tech desk. Did a solid 9 hours and ate on the job. Uploading now. That will keep that particular hierarchy busy this weekend.:D

On the road tomorrow to the sunny south east for a few hours graft to keep a different hierarchy happy. Weather forecast looks great.:cool: For now its a modest few early beers and some striploin steak later.

If I told you how much, you wouldn't believe me.

I never said what mode of transport I'm using to get home.

It was over 20 years ago - does that count as many?

In bed fuming, a relation had asked me to do her a favour today (no other day suited) I said I would have to see and today, I couldn’t do it. She didn’t have the manners to respond to what I said, message was read and ignored. However, she commented on a post I made last night where I had tagged myself and luckiest man being out for dinner and she said “thought you were busy?”
A) the ****ing cheek of her.
she used my mother and had my mother doing things for her. My mother got sick on the Friday before she died and was not well enough to do something for this woman, text her and told her sorry but I can’t, I’m unwell (seriously unwell as it ended up happening) and this relation didn’t text her back to even ask how she was, sulking because she was let down. The next time she saw my mam was while she laying dying in ICU, racked with guilt.
C) I work so very very hard and at almost 31 I don’t need to explain my whereabouts or agenda for the day when I take a day to myself, get to ****.


I was 18 when my mother died, my little brother was 16. It’ll be 13 years this year. Not once did any of my mothers family offer to do anything for me or my brother in the past 13 years, it was always my dads nieces that made sure we weren’t alone for Xmas, or that would check in on us making sure we’re okay. I am absolutely livid at the absolute nerve of her.

Cut her out of your life Shoes, no one needs that crap. Sorry to hear about your mother, must have been awful when you were both so young.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Oh she’s cut, I only hear from her if she wants something or someone dies on their side and she thinks I should go the the funeral but I apply the same logic.
That’s why I didn’t commit to today and the cheek of her to try catch me out on Facebook. I am not my mother I won’t justify why I can’t/won’t do things. Gittt ta fuuck. Thanks for the kind words �� x

Feeling a little sad that I won't be able to enjoy the booze/food filled craic that happens here later. Its always a great read including the innuendo.:D I'll be late in tomorrow night and you'll all be scuttered drunk. So many Summer Saturday nights/very early Sunday mornings, I've spent on this thread just waiting and waiting, I'll post and then more waiting and waiting.:D

Enjoy your weekend folks. Try to be happy. Eat, drink, watch TV, be merry and stay cool. Be safe and be nice too!

22 years ago she died. I was driving to Cork on a Sunday morning listening to the news on the radio. I really don't feel like it was yesterday.:( Wish it was. Wish I had a time machine.:eek:

That said I appreciate and love how it seems like yesterday to you. The years seem to get quicker after you turn 30 odd.:D

I know Olddog the years are just flying by - thinking on - It might 30 years ago - it was late 80's and the first time I'd ever got wages paid directly into the bank (American company) - That was probably how it got all messed up! There's no excuse for it nowadays but there are still blunders

First time I ever got paid money into my bank was my student ESF grant in 1990. That's the European Social Fund Grant to the younger people. I had a part time job in Xtravision back then as well and was paid in cash from the till.:eek: A few months later, Xtravision was taken over by an American company and I had to pay tax and my wages went into the bank weekly.:eek:

I went into labour the night Diana had her crash. We drove from Carrickmacross to Dublin listening to news updates in shock. Went into the rotunda knowing she had died. Was in labour all day. Then at about 7 in the evening, it just stopped. Wee a$$hole wasn't born until the 7th of October.

Am drunk as fook. Found my tribe in KL. A group that of amazing people in a cool venuzelan bar bear my house. A few weeks before I leave. Ugh

I remember when I first came to this country, our salaries were paid by cheque and our local bank literally had a big written ledger, the guy would do the credits/debits by hand, we then had to take papers from that guy to the teller for cash and another guy for bank drafts. Considering that everyone using that bank branch got paid on the same day, this whole process took half a day.

Now the whole process is done by a phone APP in seconds.

This awesome harvest moon is shining through the branches of my mystery tree right outside my window. Killarney Strawberry tree is the best guess. Anyway. Got my legs over his lap, a book on my kindle app (the king's witch), no pressure or need to constantly talk, or constantly pay unswerving attention to him and we could both sleep like this here near the fire. No alcohol needed to relax us either. Truly peaceful, floaty and deeply happy for the first time in a long time.
