How about this?? :-) Precious Memories First Birthday Time Capsule. it can be personalized and used as a time capsule to store all of the child's cherished moments and memories.

Nice idea. Lot of effort though, and wouldn't make it happen by Saturday.
Bag of small cans it is.

Christmas party on a Thursday night. What a fucking stupid idea.
I'm sure they were thinking it would promote sensible behaviour. But in reality they've just set us up for a disaster Friday.
Currently on the bus, an hour late for work, because I reckon I still over the limit when I work up.

There is something about way Adams, trying to re assert control and steeling himself for the next big lie, touched the arm of the woman running the press conference that tells you all you need to know about what went down there.

For those of you who enjoy reading touching stories, this beauty appeared on reddit yesterday. Guy who dressed as Goofy for 20 years did an ask me anything and when asked if he has any good stories, well it is a bit magical.

"I have one moment that stands out above all the rest. I was waiting for someone to ask me this question. It's the reason I left a good job as a VIP Tourguide and moved to the Character Department.

I was working City Hall one day when two guests came in with two little girls. One was in a wheel chair and the other one looked like she had just seen death. Both were cut and bruised and the one in the wheelchair had her arm in a cast. The two women were actually nurses from a hospital and were asking for a refund on the girl's tickets, something we avoided doing at all costs. When I asked why they told me the story. The two girls were with their mom and dad at Epcot and on the way home they got into a horrible car accident. The mother was beheaded right in front of them. The father eventually died too but the two girls didn't know that yet. They were from overseas and had no money and no contact information for anyone they knew. They were bringing the tickets back to get the girls some much needed money to help get them back home. My heart absolutely sunk. If you had seen these girls you'd know why. They were truly traumatized. I refunded their tickets and got permission to be their private tour guide for the rest of the day (which they were not expecting). I walked them to the VIP viewing area for the parade which was as far as I could walk them in the costume we used to wear at City Hall. I had to leave them there while I put on my VIP costume. On the way down I pulled out every kid joke I could think of. I was a REALLY good tour guide (I helped write part of it) and I knew how to make kids smile. Nothing worked. These girls were too far gone for that. I left them at the bridge to go change, walked backstage and bawled my eyes out. I just had never seen something so horrible. I was truly affected and it was a terrible feeling of powerlessness not being able to fix the situation. When I came back I brought them to get ice-cream, take them on rides and stuff but they never smiled, not once. The nurses were loving it and were trying to get them into it but it just wasn't working. We went back to the bridge to watch the parade. It was there that I honestly saw true magic. Real magic, not bullshit. I had called the parade department to let them know what was going on and set up a private meet and greet after the parade. As the parade was coming around Liberty Square I told the girls that I had called Mickey and told them all about them. I told them that Mickey asked to meet them after the parade.

The little girl in the wheelchair smiled.

"Really?" she asked. My heart skipped. "Yes, really! He told me to tell you to look out for him in the parade and to follow the float back to City Hall."

The other girl smiled.

"You mean right now?" she asked.

It had worked. They were talking. Not laughing, but talking. It was the first time I had heard them speak. Every single parade performer came up to them on the bridge and told them to look out for Mickey. Every one of them told them that. When Mickey's float came up Mickey (who was attached to a pole at the top of the float) managed to turn her body sideways, look down at the girls and point towards Main Street. That was all it took. The girls were excited now. They had forgotten about death. They were lost in a magical world and I couldn't believe I was watching it unfold in front of my eyes. We followed that float all the way back to City Hall, singing "Mickey Mania" the whole way. Back then, City Hall used to have a VIP lounge behind the desk that was for privacy during difficult situations or to host celebrities. I took them in and showed them the book where all of the autographs were. They were eating it up.

The girl who was Mickey that day (K.T., I will always love you for this) got down off her float and without even taking her head off walked up to me backstage and said "Let's go." I walked in with Mickey behind me so I got to see the exact moment the girls met their new friend. They got shy but Mikey was in control now. Those girls met the REAL Mickey Mouse that day. Every single parade character stayed dressed to meet those girls. One by one they'd come in and play a bit then leave. We were in that lounge for over an hour. Mickey stayed in costume the entire time (which is hard to do after a parade). When Mickey finally said goodbye I had two excited girls on my hands that couldn't stop smiling. They talked and talked and talked. We had a wonderful day after that but what I remember most is when we walked by the rose garden, the older one said "Oh, my mommy loves roses! I mean..." and she stopped. I held out my hand and walked her to the gate, picked her up and put her on the other side and said "Pick one!" She looked happy as she picked out her favorite rose. She didn't say anything more and she didn't need to. I said goodbye to the wonderful nurses and the wonderful girls then walked backstage behind the train station. This time I didn't cry. It felt so good to be a part of that. I realized that as much as I liked helping guests at City Hall, the true magic of Disney was in the character department. I auditioned, transferred and never looked back. Thanks for letting me relive this. It was a special day for me.

I do not have a stamina at all anymore.
no stomach for large volume of pints so stay on the whiskey
but drink whiskey really fast as there is not really a lot in the glass
so have lots of whiskey
also have turned into slight whiskey wanker so normal jemmies or paddys wont do
so spend lots of money

The after effects of a night of semi premium whiskey means I'm pretty much useless for the next 24 hours due to feeling I've ran a marathon and have had the life force drained out of me.

Suggest Malta to the better half for your next family trip. It won't help with the lifeforce issue but it'll be far more forgiving on your pocket

Have got into a steady and very worthwhile habit of drinking Glenfiddich (12/15/18 whichever I can get) on a night out. range from €3 to €5 a drink which is more than reasonable.

I genuinely have no idea who Paul O'Donovan is but the likes of Eamonn Dunphy taking digs at McGregor might convince some more UFC fans to vote.

**FeetMagic** · 09-12-16, 13:42

He is one half of the brothers who who won silver in rowing at the Olympics. And he went on to win Gold in the worlds after. McGregor is 1/4. Expected that but didn't think O'Donovan would be so high.

Whether McGregor is genuinely a scummer or its a game he plays for money is irrelevant to whether the 14/1 about O'Donovan is value or not.
