Sorry to hear that Magicme. There are a few decent ones out there.. and loosing them ones hurts the most. But, when I say a few, there really are many.. it's just that there are a lot more erseholes about, which makes it seem like we're in short supply ;)
It feels so wrong to give what could losely be termed as advice to someone with more life experience in the subject.. but hey, it's only because I care.. and because it's the 'say anything' thread :cool:

Longford cathedral completely gutted by fire. Over 150 years of history gone. Very sad but at least nobody was hurt.

Wow, what a wonderful Christmas. Amazing day with my beloved extended family, late nite singsongs and game playing and my fella has gotten over his moody strop (all coz I chatted to 2 random blokes about football apparently so he thought I was flirting! Me? Flirt! How could he think that!) so all is well in the world.
Hope you all had a wonderful day.

I hate when Irish people call St. Stephen's Day 'Boxing Day'
And I hate when people complain about calling Boxing Day Boxing Day if they feel like it.

And I hate when people complain about calling Boxing Day Boxing Day if they feel like it.Well in Ireland it's called St. Stephen's Day so there's no reason why any Irish person should be calling it Boxing Day.
Who made that decision? People can call it whatever they want, not just what the bible bashers decide have decided it's called. Personally I tend to use them interchangeably.
There's no reason for people to get bent out of shape about it. Unless there's some big old handbook on being an Irish person that I missed. Or is it because 'Boxing Day' sounds a bit English?

They're actually two different things. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day) St Stephen's Day is the 26th, but Boxing Day is the first non-Sunday after Christmas (although that wiki article seems to contradict itself on that topic).
Also, it's officially St Stephen's Day here, not Boxing Day, so if we take it that we can call it what we want, we may as well start using American spellings or other stuff just because we can. Boxing Day seems to have traditions in the landed gentry, who'd be rather more English than Irish.
None of which really means you can't call it Boxing Day if you want. But it does seem that, in this country at least, St Stephen's Day is clearly the correct term. For whatever that does.

Meh, will still call it Boxing Day. Its what I grew up with. I was born in the north to a northern mother with northern family so it will ever be Boxing Day to me. I am a West Brit by all accounts anyway so may as well be hung for this one too.

Rather strange Christmas for me. Got stuck in Stansted airport for the best part of two days, St. Mel's cathedral fire in Longford, know it's bricks and mortar, but most Longfordians have an attachment to that place. Down with the flu and flying to london in the morning and hoping i'll have work when I get back. Strange time and personally can't wait to see the back of 2009.

Coz we are the best County in Ireland! There has always been a strong poultry industry here, even though it has died off somewhat in the last 10 years. We used to be the top dogs for mushrooms and furniture too. In fact at one stage we could have built a wall around us and been self sufficient as almost everything you could need was here. Dam Celtic Tiger and people expecting higher wages has killed off our local economy though.

Wow, in the last couple of weeks three people on foot have lost a canine family member, as did a guy I work with. His dog, Elvis, died of heat exhaustion, aged 7.. always makes me kind of uncomfortable when I see thick coated dogs here in Australia.

My Aunt's dog died yesterday too, I think the extreme cold might be playing a part, she was at least 16 years old and her health had been deteriorating over the years but the vet was always happy she wasn't in pain despite it all, my cousins are 13 and 8 and the dog has literally been around for all of their lives so it's very sad for them :(.
My Aunt's god died yesterday too ...
Who will she worship now?

I don't understand the big deal about New Year celebrations. It's just a date change. It's a bit strange.
On the dog thing, I don't get that either. I've had a few dogs (and cats), but don't get upset when they die. They're just animals, IMO. I don't get upset for the cow I'll be eating in a minute, don't see the point in getting upset over dead pets.
Edit:
The above post probably makes me sound like a miserable oul git, aye? :)

It actually makes you sound like a Cork City Fan!
2009:
Personally a brilliant year.
Professionally a busy but stable year, which any of us would take.
Football wise, worst year I've ever had as a Cork City supporter [and Ireland supporter in a way], here's hoping for regime change!

Well, I'm an animal lover myself, and I tend to take the death of a pet dog as the death of a family member. But I like that you understand the whole hamburger scenario. I never understood people who could eat a cow, pig or a dear but went off at Asians for eating dogs. Pigs and dogs are pretty similar with regards to intelligence and behaviour, but people eat one and are disgusted by the eating of another.
This year in Australia, a Japanese dolphin slaughterer responded to an Aussie interviewer by saying that their killing and consuming of dolphins is no worse than Australia's inhumane killing and consumption of kangaroos. The interviewer took exception to this comment, but the guy had a point.
But, may I ask brendy, do you have pets yourself?

Aye, a cat. We had a dog too, but it was a bit too agressive so we had it put down.

Tasty Vittles (along with the savage eye) is one of the few bright spots in the last decade of terrible comedy efforts on RTE.
