I was waiting ages for a pot to boil for eggs before I realised I hadn't turned on the hob. :mad:


Like they said on Newman and Baddiel show: suicide should never be an option, unless of course you've been waiting ages for the kettle to boil and then noticed that it wasn't plugged in.

Nope not me ...

I went to the supermarket once and the girl at the till was being really polite and cheerful. I took out my bag for life-from a rival supermarket- and I swear her expression hardened slightly, a frost descended and she was quite cool and businesslike to me after that.
Did she over-react, I did nothing wrong like

I'll annoy you more and let you know that msot fo the original 38 books were re-written or edited to make the boyos more respectful of authority and to remove negative or racist remarks!

Can't believe it took a collective of people to write them...

TA'd that there's a rumour there's a new Twilight book on the way. Don't even know if it's true, but if so, that's just a sign of how bad things are getting...

Yeah, they started off in the late 1920's..I had a few of the reprints done in the 70's.
There is a new twilight...I think it's called New Moon...tells thing's from the werewolves side...not sure if it's to run in parallel or is it a prequel.

My daughter is obsessed with the movies...books and Robert Pattinson...she will genuinely go to bed.. watch 1 or 2 of the movies....or read the books....and could do that 5 nights a week.. she actually wants me to book a holiday to that town Forks...wants it more than fcking Disneyland!!

I loved them too, used to laugh at Chet the greedy git. Their father in the books was called Franklin as well wasn't he.
I started to read Nancy Drew books as well until the teacher said to me in front of the entire class 'you know those books are for girls, don't you?' cue riotous laughing. I was mortified and stuck to the HBs after that. Stupid teacher

edit Da Hardy might have been Fenton, now I think of it.

I used read the books too, non-issue here
Used love to watch the both TV series on a Saturday morning too.. think Nancy Drew & Frank Hardy got married in real life...will have to look that up, Parker Stevenson & Pamela Sue Martin... haven't seen the tv series repeated anywhere in over 25 years

That I want to show my son , ( 1st confession and communion in a few years ) Monty python's the life of Brian. I think he'd piss himself laughing at it.
I can't find it on the sky store to buy. It's the only R.E. he needs.
Where can I get it

The person who diagnosed my dyslexia, giving out to me for showing the traits of being dyslexic!

The word 'whilst'. Yes, not only is this trivial it's completely non sensical but whilst just winds me up and I refuse to use it. It's not because I think it's improper, it's very proper. I don't know what it is. I just hate that word.

Feels good to get that off my chest actually!

unsubscribing to good threads - sock puppetry ruins them.

News outlets running the story that Bono turns 60 today, and that he is celebrating it quietly at home.

Whoop de doo. Why is it newsworthy?

It's better than death and economic doom that we've had for the past 2 months.
It's alright once in a while to have a fluff piece

I'd take death, doom and misery over Bono any day.

Tbf, himself and the band have laid out €10 million for PPE for Irish health workers, so I'd cut him a little slack

Probably because it tends to be used by pompous idiots who like to do the Irish Times crossword and complain to ombudsmen and knit kettles and the like.

TA daytrippers out even on a manky day like this. Fair enough if you're going for a walk but most of these just drive to a viewing point, sit looking out and then drive home again.

Me thinks people get caught up in the figure.

Bono's current net worth is $700 million. He donated a part of $10 million, or 1.4% of his net worth.

My current net worth* is $23200. If I donate 1.4% of that, it's $330ish. So even worse I'd only pay a part of that. Think there's 4 lads in U2? So I'd pay $83ish.

I can't afford to donate that, and he can more than afford to donate his. $10 million is a lot to me, but is not that much to him. And I pay all my taxes fairly. And yes, I'm aware I calculated in $ not €, but it's much of a muchness and proves a point either way.

So fuk U2 and Bono. "Rich person donates a minute fraction of worth" - €10 million is but a drop in the ocean of the projected €1 billion PPE will cost per year.

* According to some online calculator.

I wouldn't begrudge someone something they deserve. I will begrudge a millionaire avoiding tax in his home country which he "loves", donating a fraction of his wealth and telling me how I should be giving away all my money to the poor. He's a knob on top of it.

Ireland is a country that has allowed a trillion $ of tax to be avoided via the IFSC.

U2 took advantage of legal tax reliefs in countries with whom Ireland have double tax agreements. Thereby any avoidance on the part of U2 was with the 'blessing' of the Irish govt.

Nobody forced them to change from Ireland to the Netherlands when Ireland capped the tax-free earnings of artists at €250k.

Anyway, TA'd i'm letting myself get drawn into a back and forth about Ufukin2. I'm out!
