The say anything, what's on your mind thread

[SkStu]

Ok, sorry. :(

[Acornvilla]

I'm only looking out for you Stu, bless your fragile little heart.

[Acornvilla]

Having awful bother getting the analogues on my ps3 controller to work on my laptop, tis the sadest of times

[Mr A]

Hang in there dude. This can be a difficult time of year for a lot of people. Controllers fail to work and the fight against crime can seem unwinnable. It's kind of like when the throttle on the Batmobile jams and Batman ends up buried in the side of a mountain. Try to stay positive and keep fighting the good fight.

[Acornvilla]

I have managed to conquer the evil ps3 driver software and can now fight virtual crime. Mr A, your words of encouragement were instrumental in Acornvilla's latest triumph.

[SkStu]

Happy Christmas to the foot.ie family. Hope it's a good one and best wishes to you for 2014, if not your soccer teams.

[nigel-harps1954]

Happy Christmas all.

[BonnieShels]

Last Christmas in Ireland before my exit to Canadia.

Stu, get the spare room set up. :)

Ready!

[BonnieShels]

That was easy. Now...

I assume your better half has lovely Balkan friends too?

[McNasara]

My previous five or six posts are invisible... :confused:

[Acornvilla]

You're a very naughty boy.

In other news I feel quite ill and have to be in work. I really hate leaving my house when sick..

[SkStu]

She has friends...the lovely Balkan ones are all taken. Her 20 year old niece is quite fit though (fckin hell, dirty aul fella).

[nigel-harps1954]

One of those nights where the other half decides to get very drunk, and needs to go home early. Was only starting to enjoy the night too. Damn women.

On another note, I feckin wish the new season would just hurry up. Bored without football to watch.

[Acornvilla]

Had the worst night dealing with Limericks finest in the hotel, on the way home I then slip on ice and faceplanted the road from my bike. Not a great day so far :(

And her niece lives in Regina?

[nigel-harps1954]

Getting back into practise with the band on Saturday for the first time since my kid was born and it's a great feeling. Starting recording our EP in the coming month or two and hitting the road in the summer for a tour. Feck, I missed this. Can't wait to get going again..really excited by the new songs.

[Acornvilla]

Screw it, ordering in Pizza to work tonight.

You mad b@stRd!

[Acornvilla]

Feeling incredibly fat with a 30 minute cycle in the rain ahead of me.

Miriam O'Callaghan is such a terrible broadcaster. GAH!

[BonnieShels]

I laughed too much at these. Yes. Too.

Thanks, Bonnie. Some day when I've nothing prepped for one of my classes I'll get an hour off the cuff from that!

Today's headline from Japan:

Police officers forced to eat 15 burgers at a time to toughen them up

[peadar1987]

I hate sailing. Good thing Stoke produced the goods to take my mind off the misery!

[nigel-harps1954]

Anyone watch the Super Bowl last night? Completely unexpected result, but brilliant game. What a fantastic sport. Really getting into American football the last few months and it's steadily growing on me.

[Mr A]

It'd be grand if they fecking got on with it!

[Mr A]

Also- NFL just wouldn't be the cleanest doping wise (http://grantland.com/the-triangle/boooooooooooooom-the-year-of-the-seahawks/):


There are the PEDs, too. Seattle’s had scandals with performance-enhancing drugs for the past few years, so plenty of people think it’s hypocritical to cheer for them now. It’s hard to mention this team without acknowledging the cloud of rumors and accusations and Internet comments that follow them through every success.

[McNasara]

Not a fan of Man City nor Chelsea, but I have to watch Nastasic & Kolarov against Ivanovic & Matic.

[Acornvilla]

Got asked by IBWM if i'd like some of my photos shown on their site! :D

What's your least favourite animal in the zoo?

[peadar1987]

What's your least favourite animal in the zoo?

The ****ing cassowary!

[Mr A]

What's your least favourite animal in the zoo?

Pandas. Stupid, useless feckers that get a frankly astonishing amount of publicity. A couple of years ago news channels carried live coverage of a panda arriving in Scotland by plane- I mean WTF? The only good thing about them is that they seem naturally inclined to bring about their own extinction and I for one welcome that.

[Real ale Madrid]

With the obvious exception I hope of Ling Wong - the rare chinese Panda that gave birth at San Diego Zoo in the 70's.

[Eminence Grise]

What's your least favourite animal in the zoo?

Kids - various subspecies.

The Tarquin - obnoxious, knows all the animals by their Latin name by the age of 7. Insists on using them in conversation with random strangers. Usually beaten up by other subspecies. Usually justifiably.

The Shrieking Whirligig – often mistaken for the Tasmanian Devil, this creature causes havoc everywhere. Unable to sit still for longer than 30 seconds. Only settles when head is trapped in railings. Often publicly disowned by its parents.

The Preening Abigail – uninterested in all other animals with the exception of the Preening Josh, a creature often found sporting Bieber-like plumage. Both closely related to the Mall Rat.

The ‘Snot Fair – can be seen moping at the back of the family pack. Most commonly communicates through a series of sighs and OMGs.

The clamour for Garth Brooks tickets is a national embarrassment.

[peadar1987]

Neknominations are fecking annoying, but it makes me angry when people get all upset, and call it dangerous. It's tragic that people have died doing them, but, without wanting to sound callous, they died through their own stupidity. If you down a litre of spirits, or jump into a flooded river, it's not some juvenile internet meme that killed you.

But it is. I mean the Daily Mail said it was the cause.

I blame pandas.

[gastric]

When I read sh#t like this, my blood boils. How can someone hold such bizarre views today and claim to represent victims. ********! Rave over.

I like the symmetry of me seeing this when you had 2005 posts since 2005. Noice.

[nigel-harps1954]

Would have been better if you had just looked at your phone or clock about 5 seconds previous to this, and it had showed 20:05.

[BonnieShels]

Or three hours and 5 seconds previous to it.

Dining out in Western Canada is perpetual disappointment.

How Western?

Van was sold to me so highly when I was there in 2012 after the Euros. Sooooooooo disappointing.

[nigel-harps1954]

I don't think I'll sleep properly after watching 12 Years A Slave. Hit deep in the feels watching the last 5 minutes of it.
