The Official "woo-hoo/anti-moan" Thread

cuckoo · 2005-07-27 19:28:22

We're all very good at posting in the moan/bitching/groan thread, so i thought maybe we could try a 'woo hoo!' thread? For the 'i got a job/won the lotto/had a nice day' posts. So, for the first 'woo hoo' post: I got wolf whistled by a large group of guys yesterday, which really cheered me up - and put the 'i got it going…

Wohoo totally freaked out upon reaching prague on my own so got on a train to dresden and stayed in a five star hotel for 62.50 for the night.

There was a double bed, and breakfast and room service and the biggest bath i have ever seen and lots of towels and a tv and bathrobes and a pool...it rocked.:)

I'm home! I'm in my own bed! The shower works properly! There are proper meals placed in front of me three times a day! There's a television and a computer that doesn't have a 15-minute countdown in the corner of the screen! Which isn't to say that the last 5 weeks haven't been incredible, but seriously...bed and food. I need those to live.

Heh. Not quite as good but: lolz at friend of mine (son of a TCD lecturer) finding his dad's fan group on Facebook, and his "...wtf?" response.

I went to a fantastic gig last night. And since it was a small show in America I can talk about it!

It was in a tiny place about the size of The Hub, but only fifty people or so were there. The outstandingly brilliant Cosmonaut were headlining. Cosmonaut are an off-shoot of one of my favourite bands ever whose poster I still have on my wall, who I never got to see live. So I got three buses to see them play.

At the gig the singer Nate, whose face is on my wall, was selling t-shirts. It was nice to meet him. He's the spitting of image of Andrew_83 (this picture shows the resemblance, though not particularly well.)

So the gig finished at about 11pm and I start to realize I don't know how to get home. So I ask a guy where to get a bus to Downtown. He says public transport is crap but if I hang out for a while he'd drop me home. Which he did. On the way home I got talking to him and he's a session drummer for a load of bands that I'm sure John hates like Saosin, Underoath and Senses Fail. Turns out I saw him live at Leeds Fest a couple of years ago. Mad, small world.

And now it's 2pm. I'm getting picked up by relatives in an hour and being brought out to dinner.

I like this holiday.

Interesting that amid all the comments about how the sky is falling in relation to people not applying to Science & Engineering courses, both went up in Trinity.

By BESS you could be refering to the founder of D.U. Queen Elizabeth the 1st as she was, I believe, called 'Old Bess'

Unfortunately for that arguement to hold up we would have to forget that she is also fairly dead.

hmm back to sqaure one.. :cool:

Woohoo! Three people quit in my old workplace in the 5 weeks since I left (and another two are shaky), so they re-hired me on the spot! I love employment. I feel like much less of a useless bum now.

I vote we make this site a democracy and then take a plebiscite on whether Myth should show us his CV.

I used to have a deadly C.V.
Winner of the Bray Bonny Baby competition 1986
Former model
Worked for the Special Olympics
Prize-winning poet

Then my mam made me change it before I handed it around New York.

Now I'm just a former fund administrator and librarian.

I found my cool pen I left here almost a year ago! Mad that it's still here, danes just tend to leave things the way they are.
