    Getting a compliment from a candiate and client on my work - very rare in my job, but really nice when it happens

    how sweet of joey b!

    Well, can i think of anymore?

    of course!!!

    * Watching the first game of the World Cup/Euro Championships in particular Ireland's first game

    * Feeling proud when Ireland or someone from Ireland or of Irish descent does themselves proud and gets some international recognition (for a small nation this is great)

    * Laughing at a funny joke/story

    * Playing a practical joke on someone

    plus all my others from the other thread!

    Beer;
    On a foreign trip the first beer after a night out with a few of the lads, chewing over the fat from the night before and putting the world to rights. You can go from discussing who was the drunkest to football to politics to culture back to who was the drunkest the night before without effort. And no rush to down your drinks.

    Drinking with your mates on a train going to football. Can’t beat it.

    Pre match pint.

    Life;
    The opening drum beats to ‘Some Candy Talking’ – The Jesus and Mary Chain for the uninitiated.

    A cup of tea in bed with Mrs O’ B

    Getting tickets for a ground you haven’t been to and/or getting in there.

    Equalising within three minutes of the opposition scoring, especially when their fans are taking the p out of you.

    The first view of Arranmore when I’m going to visit the folks.

    Walking out on a cold, crisp winters morning.

    Football on sunny days. Yes I know we all like to boast about ‘I’ve been to Athlone/ Walsall/ Dunfirmline (delete as applicable) on a wet Wednesday night, where were you?’ but people lets face there’s few things nicer then a pitch bathed in sunlight.

    Leaving work to go on holiday.

    ...and acts of kindness on foot.ie thanks Joey B
    Where am I now? I'm over here,
    I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.

    Hadn't really looked at it that way, I'll have questions to be asking tonight!

    I sent Adam, Kerr's Tribe and Eire06 a PM with apologies in case they'd feel offended and to explain that I had no bad intentions at all.

    I just post this to avoid misunderstandings, hopefully the whole world knows now that I am just a (sometimes bad) joker and not some pervert

    Gerrit, a pervert? We would never think that, would we foot.ie?

    Here we go again-

    * Travelling to new and exciting places

    * Hiking in beautiful mountains on a clear sunny day and making it to the top....eventually

    * Relaxing in a hot bubble bath and listening to good music

    I can only second that. Depending on the place, it can be the ultimate bliss.

    I must add groundhopping to my list, been doing it for 7 years now and as long as there's new grounds to see the temptation to hit the roads and visit them is not going away...

    And add music to the list. A good song with a touching lyric gives me a rush nothing can beat. Not even women (ask me again though if I ever meet Mss Right), not even football

    LOL

    Those were lyrics I'd classify as "prank lyrics"...

    For real class lyrics, check out the Manic Street Preachers' era with Richey Edwards in the band, Placebo, Echo & The Bunnymen, Indochine's more recent work (if you understand French), Levellers' politically-inspired tracks, some older Cure stuff, singer-songwriters such as Heather Nova, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, ...
    Fellow goths (if there are any here) will certainly appreciate Sisters of Mercy, Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows, the older 18 Summers/Silke Bischoff, ...
