Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[Lao Lao]

Attired himself appropriately in the standard blazer, white shirt and jeans with brown shoes. This seemed to be the chosen regalia for quite a few attendees which gave me a chuckle.

That was bizarre, far too many people dressed like they were going to a board meeting

What size blazer do you wear?

I was jeans, t-shirt, hoodie and vans. Wear a suit and tie all week so when weekends come, I can pass for a homeless person most of the time

LOL this is a pic of my 20 yr school reunion taken in 2009. I obv aged well after all my drug taking in the 90s

Jaysus, a few of them look old enough to have been your teacher

Just get one of the freebie flags handed out before the game and be loud. Very loud.

Plastic fans.

35k prefabs that can be built ina few days for the homeless, first look:

Where's my free hotel room? Or prefab, all over that shit, where do I sign up.

Reddit asks: what was the biggest transformation of someone when you went back to the 10-year school reunion? Some interesting stories there. Can only remember one person who was in my school, despite the year being about six classes big; so didn't return for the reunion as a result. They seem like awfully awkward things.

I think going to other people's and acting the complete cunt would be top lolev, join in all the banter about 'do you remember x teacher, and when y happened' while getting mental drunk.

If there was a 10 year one at my school i wasn't invited, they are all pretty thick anyhow

Decided to be a dick to aer lingus over email to get some my back when they weren't budging, cheque for 150 arrived today, kinda pathetic that you have to be a wanker to get anything done sometimes.
Or else nag like my mother, normal rules don't seem to apply to her in any way, are older people just that good at haggling and hounding? I mean this woman walked into a schuh and convinced them to give her over one hundred euro because she claimed she was overcharged over a year ago, she does stuff like get dental work for her children done for free that should cost thousands, extended my medical card without asking me (I am not entitled to have one), 1-2 year wait for a consultant? nah you are seeing the head of the department in 2 days. Old people powers man. Whenever we can't get something done its like sending in the fecking navy seals when we unleash our mother.

Are 10 year reunions a thing in Ireland? Didn't think they were, wouldn't want to go anyway and I'd imagine I'm in the majority

You all look so fucking happy!

Some look like they should be at 20yr reunion. Not sure if I will be able to dig up pictures of our 10 and 20. I was pregnant with Lucie at 10yr and Aimee was under a year at my 20th!

Avoiding people you used to go to school with is a vital skill to have in rural Ireland, way more easily done in abig city.why would you subject yourself to being stuck in a room full of them

Why? I am still friends with loads I went to school with. No problems when I go back home for a visit to meet up with some of them. The ladies regularly meet for drinks.

[Guest]

90% of the people I went to school with can diagf.

Always enjoy when an old name happens to pop up on facebook and I get to confirm they followed the fat football drooler trajectory to completion.

[mdoug]

I went back home in 2011, first time I had been back since I left in '04.
Went to the pub to watch united match on the Sunday and saw around 5 people from my class from when I was 4-17 and not one of them recognised me, the two behind the bar knew exactly who I was from playing darts in there Saturday nights. I was very happy with that outcome!

I'd go back for a night of darts before a reunion , I'd prob send riggs in my place for a reunion though.

They were all a shower of cnts tbf and they were all refined on the night and talking pure shite about their wonderful jobs and families, I ended up twisted as usual and made a show of myself apart from one other girl who was also fairly bad . Dunno why I went at all tbh as I didnt really get on with any of them at school let alone 20 yrs later lol

I'm glad I've never heard of those reunions being organised by the school I went to. 21 years and counting now.

Mad how many in the class turned out to be trannies. Another triumph for gender fluidity.

our school had one a few years back. I rang my mates and we agreed that we would probably all end up at the bar together spouting the same shite, so 5 or 6 of us just went to our local and saved the cost of the reunion ticket.

[RichieM]

I went to my ten year a few years back and had a good night. Got drunk, scored and ended up at a fairly good party afterwards.

It was just like being in school except instead of cans of Dutch the guys who threw the party in a wine importer so it all ended up very hazy and I imagine expensive for him.

Probably a much better laugh because I went to a mixed school tho. Pretty gay going to a reunion at an all boys school.

We're going to park the bus I'd say. Let them kick it out to Jonny Cooper.

I would say I am in the minority of people born outside the Pale when I say that I hope Dublin beat you.

They are a better side and it is crazy how little they have won despite having such a great set of players.

Kerry, you guys always over perform which is indeed to be commended. If you are planning on parking the bus and making a shitty game of it, I especially hope you loose. Even if it is the right tactic.

I prefer when no one wants us to win. No point winning if you can't sicken everyone with it.

Nothing wrong with that. In my opinion if you're from Kerry you have to like Kilkenny. Even though most of the country also hate Kilkenny. It's an opinion that sometimes divides opinion among my friends but meh.

Called a draw m8

[MrsFlushdraw]

Got a few pics of our 20 year reunion. Got to say that, in my opinion most look a good bit younger than in Michelle's pic! She looks like she was at the wrong class reunion. They look 10 years older than her lol.

Yup it is pure Irish begrudgery. Killkenny are awesome and deserving winners every year they take it.

According to the IPB calendar on the home page we should all be saying happy birthday to Mrs Flushy.

Happy birthday Gill. You get anything nice for your 25th birthday today?

Question for the BBV :

Myself and my mates here in Calgary are in a NFL Fantasy league - $20 in and top 3 gets prizes. The last place player was supposed to do a forfeit - which HADN'T been decided when everyone signed up.

Initially it was suggest that if you lose you get a football tattoo'd on your arse OR shave your head. I thought these were too aggressive so I suggested an alternative.

Ctv which is the local TV station here has a studio downtown and they film the morning show with a window as a backdrop.

I suggested that the loser dress up in a full clown costume with sad clown face makeup and slowly walk into camera shot outside the window holding a sign professing how bad he was at Fantasy Football and his head droopy, while the rest of us watch it from work/home/someones house. Obv record it for lifetimelols.

Now one of the lads is getting huffy saying he didn't sign up for this and is "absolutely not doing it". Has said he isnt being a bad sport and is just speaking for the silent. The rest who said anything were all for it and thought it hilarious.

My question is : Do I need to cut that friend?

In seriousness though, is it over the top? I am struggling in a major way to see what anyone WOULDN'T want to do it but am wondering since it wasn't agreed when everyone signed up (even though some sort of forfeit was) does he have a point?

[eamonhonda]

Was the same guy on for the tattoo but not on for the clown?

[Theresa]

Was the same guy on for the tattoo but not on for the clown?

Nah against both.

[eamonhonda]

Nah against both.

He sounds dull. The clown is a great one tbf. Have a vote to have him booted from the leagur

[CHDad]

Is your m8 the easily embarrassed shy type? Lacks confidence?

It's also possible he's terrified of clowns which would be hilarious.

[Theresa]

He is. He fronts up but he would be pretty insecure behind it all. Never ever leaves his comfort zone. I don't mind changing it tbh. Best not be a cunt.

hahaa, oh man. That would be brilliant, but also, more of a reason to change it.

[CHDad]

I'd cut him some slack if he's that type despite the forfeit being 10/10!

Tell him to choose a forfeit, rest of the group have to agree though or else he goes again. 3 strikes and it's sad clown on TV.

The shaved head seems reasonable, the tattoo a bit much but the clown one seems perfect to me!

[Theresa]

Clown>>Tattoo on arse>>>>>>>Shaved head imo.

[eamonhonda]

Obviously a forfeit is outside someone's comfort zone. If he's uncomfortable he should make sure he doesn't lose

City centre Sunday lunch - fancier the better? suggestions?

Fire on Dawson Street? Food can be hit or miss but the setting has that sense of fancy/occasion. I had an excellent meal there recently. Previous visit wasn't fantastic but it was a very busy Saturday night.

Sunday Menu

Marcel's on Merrion Row? Could find fancier though.

[Dice75]

Poor Luke Shaw gone for 12 months+

Looks like he tackles, misses the ball and follows through with his left leg to take Shaw out. Obviously Shaw is standing on his right cos he's kicking the ball with his left so his right foot is planted and gets fucked up. Happens all the time but ended up getting his leg broken this time. That's pretty sick. How was that not a penalty?

[mcnugget]

Gomez is 20/1 to make Englands Euros squad with PP. Got to be value now with Shaws injury.

Good shout though he'll surely be found out at some stage during the season playing out of position.

Baines at 8/15 is a big rick imo, he is absolutely nailed on if fit.

still 12's on betvictor

[shano1888]

I see PP have that offer for Rugby world cup. Bet 25 on top try scorer and get free 5 bet for every try they score. Thoughts on what would be a decent shout for an interest bet. Know fuck all about rugby.

LOL this is a pic of my 20 yr school reunion taken in 2009. I obv aged well after all my drug taking in the 90s

I left school in '96 so I'm roughly a year younger now than the people in your photo. I really hope life can't beat me up that much in the year!
Tbh though from what I have seen of my schoolmates it seems that the ones that look older and more fuddy duddy like are the ones that married the first cunt that rode them.
I haven't heard anything about one for our class yet which would be due next year. Don't think I would bother attending anyhow as anyone I have any interest in seeing,I would see from time to time anyhow.

To sum up, it seems to me that plenty of drunk, drugs and casual sex seems to keep one more youthful.

edit;I mean in the case of 1,2,3,5 not you.
