    I used to mishear I don’t feel like dancing from the scissor sisters. I thought the line was I’m gonna tear the hole that makes you mine, when actually it’s I’m gonna tell the whole world that you’re mine !

    Got told to leave the house I was living in last March. Landlord didn't like me complaining about cockroaches and he wanted to move in someone he knew who would do free jobs. 

    There was a lad there who was months behind on the rent so I got the heave since the landlord thought he could recover the arrears off the other lad.

    Basically, I might be the first Irishman in history to get evicted for being up to date with his rent.

    I know, I know blasting the government and departments is widespread and maybe I did it myself on boards.ie 🫣

    I sent a query and some documents to the Revenue Commissioners on a Sunday night and I got a reply by email and signed & stamped documents and everything I needed by 11:00 Monday morning

    Anytime I telephoned ok there might be a queue but they were helpful and sound.

    Bualadh Bos for the Revenue Commissioners. For me fantastic service and hard working staff 👏

    A lovely chat and cuppa with my aunt who's undergoing treatment for cancer. Enjoyed every topic. Love listening to older people's stories 😊

    Revenue are always on the ball, no messing around with them at all.

    I'm happy that I'm in much better form than yesterday, it felt like end of the world was nigh.

    When you can't be arsed drinking alcohol. And avoid all the crap that follows on from that

    The John Creedon Show on Radio 1.

    It's like having a proper music head in your life without that music head being an obnoxious bore.

    Going digital detox for Christmas, so I bought some books from a local doggie charity shop to read instead.

    I got two thick books by very well-known authors and picked out two shorter ones to store in my bag for trips.

    Got all of that for three euros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bbc2 used to show oldies on Saturday afternoons, L&H , Harold Lloyd , Abbot and Costello . I loved them growing up .



  • Registered Users Posts: 535 ✭✭✭Scipri0


    That pays off the next day when you're feeling fresh while all the other people who ever drinking are in bits.

    My dad had them on VHS growing up, but would come across them now and again on TV. I remember one particular Abbot and Costello, and it's the Jack and The Beanstalk that springs to my mind.


    EDIT: Just checked and it's on Youtube

    Next April I'm off to the USA to see friends in the Houston area, and we plan to head out west past Austin or San Antonio to see the total solar eclipse on the 8th. As we feared, finding accommodation in the area is already extremely tight e.g. we saw one place asking $2,000 a night. 4-hour drives each way, on the same day, is a tough sell. But we managed to find what looks like decent accommodation at a decent price, close enough so that it's only a short drive to the middle of the eclipse totality zone. It's on a lake, so we decided to make it a 4-day trip, we'll try and hire a boat for a couple of hours and go for a little cruise too. I'll be sure to get the Saint Arnold Fancy Lawnmower in the fridge. 🍺

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    Sitting on a bench at the lake this lunchtime, watching a young family unpacking their car and kids to decamp themselves into their Christmas rental(which has a stunning view)

    Even with a whiney toddler worried about Santa not knowing their new address, parents looked relieved and care free, long may it last.

    The loud and excited chatter coming from the back room of a local homelessness support shop, when a randomer brings in six boxes of food in time for their distribution to ppl in need.

    My cousin sent me some Henderson’s Relish, a delicious Yorkshire/Sheffield condiment that has always been challenging to get in Ireland… delicious with all meats, veg, well with everything.

    Finished watching Fraiser over the weekend, seasons 1 -11, what a fantastic show, my favorite scene is from this episode in season 2, the matchmaker

    1:13

    There's a village near me that the uk authorities keep spelling wrong. TH is everywhere , some mystery painter has corrected it on road signs .

    Wolves being released into the wilderness.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    They are beautiful, I hope they're left alone and thrive.

    While conservationists have hailed the move, ranchers and some in rural communities have been sceptical - saying the wolves could put livestock, wildlife and pets at risk.

    Horrible evening out, but I am back indoors, warm and cosy.

    Got through here today

    Hope you got some fire wood for the inconvenience!

    My almost teen grandson said he doesn’t know what he wants as a Christmas present from me but his father has pointed me in the right direction and I’ve got exactly what he wants but was afraid it was too expensive to request. Can’t wait to see his reaction and I know it’s value for money.

    Went into dublin to see the christmas lights and was very impressed. The gpo and the bank of ireland on college green look fantastic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,426 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    That's the other half's present sorted.

    Someone is going to be a very happy camper indeed 😁
