If I go somewhere new I bring a bag and pick the shit up. Easy to be like hippy bullshit. But if we all want to be Ok we, every single one of us will have to some version of that.

Everything evolves as you go through life. Just because some of us dont engage here doesnt mean everyone doesnt read/think/imagine on certain topics either. Always happy to engage though IRL

The above is, IF you find the awful litter and pollution jarring in places you love and find beautiful, take that energy, and use it. Do something constructive. Bring a bag. Pick shit up. If you need some mumbo jumbo reason not to feel like a crusty hippy when doing it, think.of it as a thanks for the peace and enjoyment the place gives you. Instead of feeling disillusioned. Feel empowered. No Instagram video. Dont become a wellness coach. Just pick shit up.
Up for Pint. Have the little one, but if ya can get out this way I'm all ears.

Its not real life, its just not. Im not saying you do as i know you are completely distanced from that world as much as you can but you are still far more invested than the average population.Last edited by Dice75; 24-07-21, 01:18.

Remember years ago the old man and others in the residents association planting flowers to snazz the joint up for the tidy estate comp. They were pulled up overnight...replanted..pulled up..replanted
I remember asking him about it and he was unperturbed.."theyll get bored with it eventually"
Exactly that. Patience and determination won out.

To be honest it looks more like a case of 60yo male dinosaur journalist being pushed out because what he brings in no longer justifies his upper-tier wage or contract.
If he was still gold then they'd give him more rope, otherwise wait for him to overstep the mark and boot him.
It's been going on for decades, if it was the 1970s then Neil Francis would be played by Walter Matthau in the film version.
At least nowadays Francis can continue his shtick online and if enough people like what he has to say about the gays and the foreigners then he'll have the last laugh on the Indo.

Originally posted by pokerhand View PostReally, tell that to the Irish hockey team. Never seen a group so proud and happy. They will remember that for a long time and fair play to them.
Personally, I’d share Lazare’s view. Nothing wrong with being proud that our countrymen were the only team out of 200-ish to acknowledge the hosts.

We only have photo fits of him. Many a man would commit sins to have a scalp like his. Even though his actual scalp hasn't been seen since birth.

One boring drugs stuff
Other is he was giving the lady who lives there a lash and the hubby came home and best the shite out of him and the window was the escape route.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Yeah, I think I had watched it in a comedy podcast, and it probably had some build up there. I generally forget that most people get away with not seeing people die from horrific rta injuries in real life for most of their lives.
I wouldn't be squeamish myself for a lot if things, reminds me of getting into bikes for the first time and giving serious consideration into the dangers etc, and googling "degloving" etc when it came to riders having accidents and not wearing gear etc.
Turns out degloving happens a fair bit when you are NOT wearing gloves!﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿

She hadn't.
I've always been terrible at that - main one was 'had I locked the front door?' Many times I went back to verify before I came up with a method which involves ringing the bell 1 second after I turn the key. I can always clearly remember having rung the bell so I know I've locked it.
Other stuff like gas, immersion, cooking, heating appliances are a problem - if I'm going to be back that day then I can let it go and keep on walking despite a nagging doubt.
If going on holidays though I basically don't switch any of them on for the preceding 24 hours if I can avoid it, and definitely not on the morning of travel.

Heading out the door to Kenmare for a few days, noone taking advanced bookings, walk ins only...could be either a farmers dinner of a mediteranian one.This too shall pass.
