The say anything, what's on your mind thread

[BonnieShels]

Just made my own taco sauce (sort of) and stuck on some potato wedges to try it out. I think I'm the next Jamie Oliver.

As a taco sauce obsessive I must know how ya did it?

A master never reveals his secrets.

On the other hand..since I'm not a master...half and half but a good dollop of both Tomato Ketchup and Mayonnaise , a little bit of Garlic Sauce, and lots of Paprika. Stir it all up, it'll be slightly lumpy at first, but if you keep on stirring it, it gets smoother, and very nice with potato wedges.

Try it.

Can't/won't sleep waiting for word from home, wondering will I ever go to another match with my Dad.

Sorry to hear that Spud. Thinking of you and your family.

[Eminence Grise]

Awfully sorry to read that, Spud. Thinking of you and all close to you tonight.

[nigel-harps1954]

That's awful stuff Spud. Hope all is well. Thoughts with you and the family tonight.

I came in here to make my regular flippant comment that I do when I'm ****ed of a Friday.

This has jolted me.

Sorry to hear.

Fingers, toes and hairs crossed for you and yours.

Next person to post "call him up Trap!" following any sort of positive news in a player's thread deserves a slap.

[The Fly]

It wasn't the napalm after all...

New office is phenomenally sexier than my old one.

Yuss!

[theworm2345]

I'm sorry Bonnie, but I just don't give a **** about what is happening at your job(s)

[peadar1987]

Yeah, Bonnie, take it to the "Things theworm doesn't give a **** about" thread!

[Eminence Grise]

Mmm, objectophilia, Bonnie... Personally, I prefer to receive other kinds of jobs to satisfy my needs.*:laugh:

Never mind the begrudgers who don't understand the bond between a man and his building. Keep the rest of us posted on this very new and daring type of office romance!

*Mainly because it's 12 years since I got my last one... New career, obviously...:p

[theworm2345]

Yeah, Bonnie, take it to the "Things theworm doesn't give a **** about" thread!
I didn't tell him not to post here, I just said anything, what was on my mind ;)

Also if we were to have that thread it would be the longest thread here

[BonnieShels]

I'm sorry Bonnie, but I just don't give a **** about what is happening at your job(s)

Good stuff outta ya.

However if like me you worked in the ugliest building known to man. and I mean the staff, Architecturally speaking it was very nice, you would appreciate the current office totty that little bit more.

Savage gash lad!

Roll on the Christmas party.

[BonnieShels]

Yeah, Bonnie, take it to the "Things theworm doesn't give a **** about" thread!

I know. How dare me. In fairness though the current excitement I have for my new job stems from the fact for the 4.5 years I was in my last job I spent 4.5 years trying to leave.

it will wane.

I do like that I work on Shelbourne Road now. :-)

Thanks Gastric, Eminence Grise, Nigel and Bonnie - sorry I didn't reply sooner, the weekend passed in a haze, not a good one, and now, almost a week on, it's now in limbo. I know a couple of posters have met my Dad and one at least (Osarusan) would have spoken to him a few times at fights, he is a sports fanatic, real GAA man but played football/soccer, rugby and any other sport he could. We've a big meeting with the head doc today at 12, they've been pressing the line of - "you'll have some big decisions to make" bojjox that tears your heart out. I kind of smile that the last match we went to was in November when I was last home, up in Rathcoole, in freezing winds and watching a lad we look after (who my Dad thinks alot of) and just the craic we had before and after.

[peadar1987]

Thoughts are with you Spud.

[BonnieShels]

Again so sorry to hear that Spud.

[peadar1987]

I am officially sick of Christmas music, but am slightly thankful I'm not in Ireland and sitting through the Jedward versions I assume are absolutely unavoidable.

[nigel-harps1954]

Just stuck an accumulator on all 10 Premier League games this weekend. 1 euro would return a potential €41k.

Fingers crossed ;)

You can't escape it anywhere. I'm admittedly a bit of a grinch and don't really like Christmas music anyway, but they're now playing it at the gym where I can't escape it. Not only that, but its just today's crap artists covering old Christmas songs (or in some cases coming out with their own). I don't think any of them are Jedward (I guess I wouldn't know if I heard it anyway) but probably equally crap. I usually hear the same song three times by different artists and all terrible.

Reminds me of the Glee craze a few years ago, when the Top 40 would be on the radio in the background everywhere I went. You'd have #17, Don't Stop Believing, followed by #16, Don't Stop Believing (Glee Cover). Used to drive me nuts on long drives when I didn't have control of the radio

I read the url thinking that there was some status quo reached for the name debate.

Sorry theworm but I just don't give a **** what is happening with your bipolar disorder(s)

Bipolar would imply that my mood swings or changes...I'm just generally ****ed off

1000 thanks.
Also nice.

There's your first on the way to 2k. ��

I woke up late and my car was clamped. This has been a miserable Monday as a result. GRR!

[Real ale Madrid]

After 4 years 9 months on the road commuting from Cork to Antwerp, encompassing over 325 flights at a total cost of approx €27,000 ( flights alone ) - today is the beginning of my final week abroad.

Some people don't like what our country has become - but on Thursday evening if soemone tells me that I'll never be able to leave it again - it wouldn't bother me a whole lot.

I see people on the flight to amsterdam every week - like a brotherhood of extreme commuters who put thier lives on hold to either further thier careers or simply put food on the table. I'll miss the craic a little but after all this time, not much.

The travel, the strain, the weekly goodbyes to the wife and kids are the real human stories of yet another manifestation of this recession that the world seems to ignore. For now, and hopefully, the foreseeable future that is in the past for myself.

Overall feeling is huge relief. Nothing else really. It will sink in, in a few weeks I think.

[peadar1987]

First exam in almost 3 years went about as badly as could be expected. And yet still not badly enough that I miss my sh*ty job even a little bit.

[nigel-harps1954]

Well, I woke up to find that my neighbours dog had got into my bin last night outside the back door and there was frozen rubbish, and frozen remnants of food all over the place. Took a lot of boiling water, bleach and scrubbing to get most of it off.

I didn't even get a sorry.

[SkStu]

I didn't even get a sorry.

Council or private company clamp? if your anyway mechanically minded, it's not that hard to get a private company clamp off and save yourself having to pay the buggers.

It was a bitta both and on a public road. Difficult for me to get out of it without the pain of bringing DCC to court.

I've a mate who has waged a personal battle for the last year with a certain private clamping company and has been rather successful in his endeavour.

"If you unclamp my car now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you"

I think we are being kicked outta here at 330 tomorrow.

I’ll probably stop caring sometime around 11am.*


*NB. “Maybe start caring less” is a more apt way of describing it.

[shantykelly]

restarted posting on p.ie after a two year hiatus. why the **** was I stupid enough to do that. can't even blame the drink, as I've none taken yet.

[BonnieShels]

Gave that up long ago.

Bad move shanty.
