I'm designing something at the moment and want to know from footiers - which expression do you think is more common, "off the beaten path" or "off the beaten track"?
Hmm, track in my opnion would be the more commonly used.
"Off the beaten track" is the expression, though if this goes to form it won't be long before you get the usual suspects on saying it was always 'path' when they were growing up. :DQuote:

I think it comes of a mix-up with the phrase "to beat a path", as in, if your design turns out to be any good the world will beat a path to your door. ;)
My ears are blocked and need syringing. I'm fecking half deaf right now. :mad:

Don't worry, neither do most financial advisors.Quote:

Think GHDs are almost 200 usually. I dont know coz i couldnt afford them in a million years.
But they are much better than any others. When my hairdresser uses them on me its like magic
There is no magic involved , your hairdresser heats up two pieces of metal through an outlet in the wall which connects to electricity. The heat from the irons is then transferred to your hair which along with the action of twisting or pulling your hair through the heated irons gives the desired effect of curls or straight hair.:p No magic involved.Quote:

I have remmington straigteners that heat up to massive temp but they just dont do it half as good as the ghds.
Hmm. So should I ignore this one then, and subsequently believe all your other ones instead?Quote:

I think Im having a heart attack
The most common heart attack signs and symptoms are:Quote:
Originally Posted by blobbyblob
- Chest discomfort or pain—uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest that can be mild or strong. This discomfort or pain lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
- Upper body discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
- Shortness of breath may occur with or before chest discomfort.
- Other signs include nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), vomiting, lightheadedness or fainting, or breaking out in a cold sweat
If these are the case, please get assistance immediately, even if they stop.
Cheers Bluebeard
It happens when i forget to take me heart pills.
Like this morning. Wehay!
Well once you know what is what, and it is no surprise to you, that is a relief. You're OK now? That is a relief - you had me, and I would imagine a couple of other posters, worried for a few minutes.Quote:

What should I do on my day off today, especially after a couple of very stressful days? Can't make up my mind!
Possible things to do:
Go to the cinema and see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Go to the pub with my book
Stay home and watch DVDs (John83's comment above has made me fancy Holy Grail)
Go and buy a DVD/book
Potter about the house- watch youtube, call people, play FM10 demo, channel hop.
Go and meet someone for a pint/coffee
Go for a walk- Merrion Square? Along the canal maybe?
Any other suggestions?
Holy Grail every time
Absolutely + 1.Quote:

They're looking for volunteers to bring some of the old treasures out for a push in their wheelchairs, someone to chat to about Marty Whelan, some bathing and feeding and perhaps you could have a look at the fence that needs mending?
Should I let them know you're on the way?

That would be class! Obviously utilizing such tricks of the trade as stopping and looking around innocently while whistling when they turn around, a newspaper with eye holes in it, and a clever shrub disguise.Quote:

I particularly like that video. Some of his are pretty mixed, but there is something special about this one. I hope you do go to Grafton St. and do it. Then come back and report. Set up a random compliments thread maybe?Quote:
