If you have no further questions.... yes.

I feel guilty for converting a perfectly good thread into a downward slope of sexual insecurity and questioning.
A second thought - I decided not to slap her, or tell her to become lesbian, instead we're sending her to Shrewsbury for a week, in hope.
I've donated the entirety of the collection for me from when I left my last job to Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown
Also, I've given them my old PS2, that I don't use anymore, and some games. According to the lady in the cash office that I spoke to, they don't have a children's ward but they use consoles in their long term patients ward. If it's not needed there, it will be passed on to Temple Street Children's Hospital.
Got engaged yesterday. All feels a bit strange!
Congrats.....
...I think.
I should have said strange in a good way! Together 8 years and been seriously planning it for a good 3 or 4 months it's a massive relief in some ways. Probably should have arranged the day off today though.
Given your new status, shouldn't you change you name from passinginterest to lifelongcommitment?
That depends. We went with the option of going to a Greek island and doing everything in a really relaxed, informal way with just over 30 people there. We only put the detail of the ceremony together with about 5 days to go and finalised the night before. Very little stress involved.
How people can be arsed with the full blown Irish wedding is something I just don't get!
She definitely won't go away, she hates leaving the country at the best of times. It could end up being huge but I'm pretty sure we're both sensible enough to keep it manageable. We've talked about most aspects of it over the years so hopefully it'll be a relatively smooth operation. Probably looking at July 2013 when we'll be 10 years together so a decent amount of time to get things done.
Las Vegas Elvis Wedding. Simple. Romantic. Fun.
I've got the biggest crush in the world on someone and whenever I see her I can't say a thing other than "hey" (while presumably looking quite creepy in a tall, dark and serial killer sort of way). The palpitations and dry-mouth don't help.
In other, less important, news. I may have broken a bone in my foot. As someone who runs around for a living, that is not good news.
Also, congratulations passinginterest!
These two things can combine to work. If you get any sort of visible protection device (cast, boot, etc.) and can make her notice it, it can be an easy conversation starter. You can also make up a story about breaking it doing something heroic. This is, of course, all assuming you didn't break it falling off a ladder because she caught you staring at her through a window and all you could do was say "hey."
I like the way you think! Looking forward to getting an x-ray now, hopefully there's a break! :D
And if there's not, hold up the hospital and rob a pair of crutches.
Bought a plastic cover + car cradle for my work phone(old blackberry) from fleabay. Thing that came was for a snazzy Iphone. Sent off an email to the seller, heard nothing back so left a neg feedback comment and forgot about it. Woke up this morning to a big parcel. Seller apologised for the mixup, offered to issue a full refund and loads of 'blackberry accessories'(actually more Iphone stuff) as a goodwill offer if I rescind the neg feedback. I've now got about 20 things for a phone that I don't have.:(
I'm starving and need chips but won't have time to.get home to the chipper and into the house for the match.
Congrats Passinginterest!
Congrats Passinginterest!
If you're not already great mates with someone in a half decent band, one good thing is you'll have plenty of time to do it in. If you can swing a florist as well you'll have it cracked! :)
BBC Question Time is in Derry tonight. I made the stoopid mistake of playing a Q T drinking game, it's not going well!
Change? Surely Change or Future?
Yeah... Future is the key word I'd say on QT tonight!
Congrats passinginterest
Remember Friday at 8pm is sacrosanct :)

Congrats, Passing Interest.
Are you at the point yet where you want to thump the next person who tells you to enjoy the planning...?
Finally getting my internet sorted after 5 months of waiting tomorrow. On a sh*t note though, my dog of 15 years passed on Monday which was horrible. Awful day, never easy losing the family pet.
Yeah very sorry to hear it, my dog is 14 and we got her when I was 7 and she was like six weeks old. She's very much a part of the family (probably the most important) so I know it can't be easy for you. Sometimes I put an Ireland shirt on her during matches for luck.
A very similar situation for me. I was only 7 or 8 when the dog was got as a pup so she was there for a good part of my life.
She was sick for a while though and passed peacefully in her bed beside the TV as myself and the girlfriend ate breakfast. Tough to watch your own dog die, but she knew what she was doing. Had a good walk around the garden before coming back into the house to pass on.
Strangest thing of the whole lot though, woke with a sick feeling in my stomach that morning, let the dog out, she went for a walk about, made some grub, let the dog back in, stuck on the Doors while eating, dog went to lay in her bed, 'The End' by the Doors came on...seems as though she listened to the song and passed. It was very surreal and strange. But I believe she knew.
There is no dignified way to eat a coffee cream slice.
If there's a big TV debate with all the presidential candidates in the next few weeks then part of it should include each of them eating a coffee cream slice. Most dignified eater for the Áras!
