I wore a hat (but not the hat) and later on I wore a bandanna to stop my sweaty receding hairline from turning into a beetroot crisp. I'll send you a pm with a pic and my bank details.

I was too busy last week to really get going on the fund raising side so I just threw money in myself in the end.
I had a bath last night to loosen out the calves and was tucked in to bed for a long sleep when little miss V decided she needed a walk at 1.30am to get her to sleep. John Wayne had nothing on me strolling down Sandymount....

Seems like a tragic situation where he didn't think she was as bad as possible. I think altitude sickness is a bit of a lottery and fitness or health is only a minor factor and people get it or don't.Originally posted by Strewelpeter View Post
Not sure why it needs to be tied to vegans but it seems from how I read it that they were nearly at the top and he asked her so obv she was talking and he believed competent to make a call.Comment

I think it was Kayroo who mentioned me a few weeks back as a thinly veiled brag merchant which got me thinking... I definitely spend most of my time thinking about first world problems because that's my client base. That combined with the comfortable life I lead does make me come across as a brag merchant when I'm musing aloud here in the BBV.
Anyway here's an article in the FT about first world problems which I thought was amusing in that context and probably rings a bell with Shrap also given his current location.
For those of you who don't have an FT account here's a snapshot of the headline.

They made it about Vegans by saying they were doing the climb to prove that Vegans could do it. She died ergo Vegans can't do itOriginally posted by RichieM View Post
There are so many people queued up waiting to climb the final ascent that people are spending way more time than they should be at that altitude and there are many people dying as a result.Turning millions into thousandsComment

Its obviously tongue in cheekOriginally posted by Strewelpeter View Post
I dont get irony but there must be some in the biggest debt collection agency in Ireland not paying their debts,

If it is legitimately owed, march into their offices and start jumping up and down and screaming and shouting about it. Unseemly, but you will have a cheque the next day.Originally posted by poprock View PostHappiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor RooseveltComment

You'd be a fool not to buy rose by the box in the South of France tbh. The best vineyards all do them for the summer crowds. So handy, and so drinkable.Originally posted by zuutroy View PostDid a blind wine tasting.

I had it plugged in for 4 hours and it didn't charge at all. Used the other charger and it started charging. Then when it had a bit of charge I tried the juice one again and it came up with the incompatible thing. Been reading a bit online and it mentioned about an iOS update and it was happening with real apple chargers as well as there is a chip missing or different.Originally posted by Gimmeabreak

Just on boxes of wine. My brother and Fiancée were at a wedding a few years ago and they wrapped a box of wine in wedding paper and walked in with it. Then they popped the wee tap and had it sitting under the table. No one asked a thing haha.Comment

Richard Bruton was knocking on doors down our road earlier (must reckon the Govt isn't going to last too long).
I introduced eldest daughter (9) to him and said "this man is the boss of all the schools in Ireland".

A midsummer night's dream, didn't see that one though.

I'd 100% blame the keeper for that one tbh, in saying that 25/1 looks trés grand
edit: gotze or kroos for germany? I think I'm gonna back vardy for engerland too, 50/1 in pp is kinda too tempting to be honest. Will he start?Last edited by mdoug; 31-05-16, 10:17.Go big or go homeless.Comment
