UFOINFO Sighting Form Report
Location: Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland
Date: December 18 2010
Time: 2:30am
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Grey Humanoid, 4ft Tall
Could your sighting be a UFO balloon/lantern?: na
Weather Conditions: Calm Night
Description: I was in my kitchen getting a late snack, when I heard strange sounds coming from my back garden. I can't describe the sounds, but it was sort of like a 'pulsating' humming sound at first, then it sounded like there was people outside my back door (which was locked) running around my garden.
I looked through the back door (which is mostly glass inside a door frame) and saw a 4ft tall Grey alien run past at incredible speed. Suddenly, it was 5:30am and I was in my sitting room instead of the kitchen, and I had weird circular white marks on my arm, and 'needle like' red marks all over both my legs.
The marks on my arm were there for about 10 hours. At which point they suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving fully healed skin. I showed my mother the marks, then walked into the kitchen to show my father, but the marks were gone before I made it into the kitchen, which only took about 10 seconds.

After having a day to sleep on the disappointment of Wales, what's the thoughts on our hopes of winning the 6 Nations?
Bet365 have Wales -20 in the HC, England -10 and Ireland -7, so based on that, they're expecting;
England +37 (+47) - 4/5 Boyles
Ireland +33 (+40) - 9/5 StanJames
Wales +12 (+32) - 8/1 Betfred
Where's the value based on your own HC?

Things like shower gel, shaving gel and that liquid soap stuff are miles cheaper in Lidl and perfectly fine. Even the razor blades are actually fine and miles cheaper.

Following Russian politics is pretty fun in a we're all fucked way at the moment
Russia's President Vladimir Putin may have been removed from office by army factions or wealthy businessmen either working together or against one another, says Israel's former ambassador to Russia Zvi Magen.pro-Kremlin Islamic Committee chairman Geydar Dzhemal, reported that former Federal Security Service chief Nikolai Patrushev staged a stealthy coup in Moscow.As Putin is expected to make a public appearance on Monday, Kremlin has rubbished all the rumours surrounding the Russian leader.
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

France's defence is actually pretty good and we haven't ever looked like running up a big score."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

same old same old.
It's the news from the Kremlin that causes most of it, he could just have the shits but they'll never say anything to make him seem weak.
The flat out denial of anything out of the ordinary is just fanning the flames.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Is there any graph that shows the least bad currency against the euro in recent months? US/Canada honeymoon looks poor value now. Australia one doesn't look much better. No interest in going to Asia or South America really, and would prefer to leave Europe too.

Think the least worst currency movement is against the mexican peso.
Edit: we seem to have improved against the Russian rouble... So Russia maybe?Last edited by pokerhand; 15-03-15, 23:13.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

Visited a Dunnes and Tesco recently and they are painful experiences compared to Lidl. Tesco has fully lost the plot.
I've never shopped in Aldi or Lidl but today in Tesco I bought Tesco brand version of Rice Krispies, and Tesco razors for the first time. You know, just in case there weren't any "free" razors in the own brand Rice Krispies. I suppose instead of buying the razors I could have bought Aldi soap.

Heard a few people rave about Reunion island in the Indian ocean which is a part of France so uses euro. Probably some other colonies around the world in nice places which use the euro.

Current thinking is 17 days between San Francisco/Hawaii/Vancouver (I've never been to the last 2 of those), previous thinking was SF - Vancouver by road in week and then a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska, spend a couple of days there and come home. Previous idea before that was Sydney/Cairns/Darwin (been to Sydney, but 13 years ago).
All have got crazy dear due to stupid currency fluctuations, and while money isn't a problem (probably cost the guts of 8k minimum for 17 days for the 2 of us anyhow, probably more like 10k) I'd love to think of something great that cost a little less, but I think we'll just have to suck it up given those constraints and preferences. Crazy money to spend on a holiday really.

Originally posted by dobby View PostSeems incredibly dull alright but he might just be a bad interviewee. As you said maybe he needs to live a little away from Bray. Bought his album recently because of Slane and there's 17 songs but he should have stopped after 9. Hard to get into this show but I am enjoying the music.

I never once felt at risk or uncomfortable while we were there, and we wandered around most days. You also have the added benefit of breaking up a city break with winery tours and even a safari visit for something different.
I can understand the concern, and there is real true poverty there. However if you can get past that, it will tick a lot of boxes.

Shopping anywhere in Dublin is a pleasure compared to here. One of the main hypermarkets in Buenos Aires has their version of a self-service checkout. You go and scan all your items, then you get a reciept for the total which you then queue up to pay at the cashier, who only accepts payment after double checking all the items off your reciept with what's in your basket. They bill it as the faster way to shop. Normally any big supermarket here is full of massive queues if you go at the wrong time. Weekday mornings are the only safe time although you have to deal with old people shopping then who have every coupon you could imagine, and like to pay the exact amount in change.
