When it rains it pours with the hospital visits!
My lads were out playing on the green with a couple of their friends earlier this evening.
My 8 year old takes a swing at a ball coming in with a hurley and squares it right into his 5 year old brothers forehead.
Cue panic from mum and dad but only a brief crying spell from Leo(my 5 year old). There's some blood and a bump the size of a golf ball on his forehead,but he doesn't really freak out until he gets into the hallway and catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror!
I ring our GP and he says just go straight to the hospital, five hours later and after all the usual worry, it's all good thankfully. Just concussion and a day off school tomorrow.
It's no wonder i'm going grey.
On the plus side I might have two county hurlers on my hands!Last edited by dannydiamond; 15-09-10, 23:50.We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.Comment

Guy I know that's head of FG is getting Enda and a bunch of others in for Clubs and Socs day; think they're having another leadership contest. I can't imagine that it's a good idea, if you're impressed by that you're the type that would sign up anyway. Also what does it say about them that they've nothing better than to hang around with students for day?
I'm going for a much more cynical campaign. Students are much more interested in a chance of a free iphone and sex and booze imo. Particularly as everyone is pretty polarized anyway and it's the undecideds you want. Checked around to see if there were any hot FFers but couldn't find any, but I do think I've the theme for the campaign.

You have absolutely zero wiggle room here.Originally posted by shano_88 View Post
Produce your licence, tell the truth and hope for the best.
Keep the licence in the car in future btw, you're much more likely to get away with a warning.
Your only other option as far as I can see is not bothering to turn up to the barracks, and explain yourself to a district court judge. Pretty easy choice I would have thought.
Edit: I just noticed someone suggesting you lie and bring in the guy that was supposedly with you. I guess it's a matter of opinion but personally I wouldn't fancy that at all.
If them cnuts catch you at that you're bolloxed.
I don't think you're getting any way near the pot odds for that tbh.Last edited by dannydiamond; 15-09-10, 23:56.We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.Comment

Quick one before bed.
Mods/admins, regarding that lad gilligan black/richie and all the other various names he's had here and in the other place.
He has probably the best resource available to him in this forum for the jobs he's 'advertising' and unlikely to find the skillsets required by trawling through CVs.
This forum should be the equivalent to striking the jackpot to him, but he's an absolute idiot/is a fkin brutal recruitment agent/and or 'this is easy i'll start my own business' bloke.
I presume you guys are investigating him. He seems genuine in the sense that he is actually looking to recruit people but he doesn't seem to know what he's doing.
I'm only saying as I'd hate to see anyone here lead on.
Personally, even if I was in a position to take up on his 'opportunities' i'd be giving him a wide berth tbh.
He prob works directly for pocket kings, but the obvious deceit from him should be an obvious warning for anyone.
I'm just saying is all. That's the way it looks to me.Last edited by dannydiamond; 16-09-10, 01:56.We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.Comment

So the Pope arrives in London, the paparazzi are everywhere and he has to make a quick dash to his hotel via the Pope-mobile, and speeds off to the his hotel, paparazzi in hot pursuit. When he finally gets there he is stressed and tells his aide he wants to relax and be with his prayers for the resto of the night.
So, once alone, the pontiff does what all men do to relax, he has a papal wank. He lies on the bed and gets down to the one handed prayer, just as he releases the holy spirit he sees a flash!!! Peeping in the balcony window is one of the more eager photographers, who is now dancing around the place in joy, his timing was perfect, mini-popes in mid air.
Pope:"My child, I have to ask you as a christian to delete that photo, my iamge and that of the church would be ruined"
Photographer:"not a chance Popey, i'm on easy street the papers will pay thousands for this"
Pope:"the vatican has lots of money my son, i'll buy the photo from you. hows 1 million euro sound"
The photographer agrees and the pope gets the camera. In the morning, the popes aide returns and sees the pope with his new camera.
Aide:"That's a very nice camera holy father, how much did it cost"
Not wishing to commit a sin by lying, the pope replies, "I bought it from a photographer for 1 million euro"
Aide:"1 million!!!!! Jesus, he must of seen you coming"

Anyone else get Halo Reach and think it is a bit meh.
I mean it's still great just doesn't really improve on Halo3 enough. I like the addition of the loadout menu with the jet pack's, sheild's etc. It add's a new dynamic to it which will take some getting used to. Although the removel of the BR and replacing it with the DMR( I think it's called that) is a bit shity.

What do our resident Physicists (at least those not on their way to China and Japan at the taxpayers expense) think of the idea of Thorium fission reactors for cheap clean energy.

They have some neck in the Dept of Finance. Talk about pot calling the kettle black!
From Rte.ie:
The Department of Finance appears to have got some formal retaliation in against a scathing editorial carried by the Financial Times earlier in the week.
The newspaper had claimed that the Government was trying to bring Anglo Irish Bank 'Lazarus-like', back to life. It also claimed that some of the cost of Anglo should fall on the unsecured creditors and not the Irish taxpayer.
This morning the newspaper carries a short letter from Eoin Dorgan of the Department of Finance press office.
He writes that the editorial was not in accordance with the facts. He also points out that the Government intends to work out the Anglo loan book over time and that the Financial Times got its figures wrong when reporting on the balance sheet of the six domestically owned Irish banks.You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked.

A few gems
Ó Muircheartaigh has become legendary in Ireland for his unique turns of phrase in the heat of the moment while commentating.
"1-5 to 0-8...well from Lapland to the Antarctic, that's level scores in any man's language".
"Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now ... but here comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail ...... I've seen it all now, a Rabbitte chasing a Fox around Croke Park!"
"He grabs the sliotar, he's on the 50......he's on the 40......he's on the 30....... he's on the ground."
"Seán Óg Ó hAilpín.... his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from Fiji, neither one of them a hurling stronghold."
"Teddy McCarthy to John McCarthy, no relation, John McCarthy back to Teddy McCarthy, still no relation."
"Colin Corkery on the 45 lets go with the right boot. It's over the bar. This man shouldn't be playing football. He's made an almost Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man but he couldn't kick points like Colin Corkery."
"In the first half they played with the wind. In the second half they played with the ball."
"Setanta Ó hAilpín....the original Setanta from the old Gaelic stories was ten foot tall, had ten fingers on each hand and ten toes on each foot but even he couldn't be playing better hurling than his namesake here today."
"... and Brian Dooher is down injured. And while he is, I'll tell ye a little story. I was in Times Square in New York last week, and I was missing the Championship back home. So I approached a newsstand and I said 'I suppose you wouldn't have the Kerryman would you?' To which the Egyptian man behind the counter replied 'do you want the North Kerry edition or the South Kerry edition?'. He had both, so I bought both. And Dooher is back on his feet..."
"Anthony Lynch, the Cork corner-back, would be the last person to let you down - his people are undertakers"
"Teddy looks at the ball, the ball looks at Teddy."
" Dublin have scored two points, one from the hand and one from the land."
"Pat Fox out to the forty and grabs the sliothar. I bought a dog from his father last week. Fox turns and sprints for goal. The dog ran a great race last Tuesday in Limerick. Fox to the 21 fires a shot, it goes to the left and wide… And the dog lost as well."
"I saw a few Sligo people at Mass in Gardiner Street this morning and the omens seem to be good for them, the priest was wearing the same colours as the Sligo jersey! 40 yards out on the Hogan Stand side of the field Ciarán Whelan goes on a rampage, it's a goal. So much for religion."Comment

One of the locals from "The Farm" (Monkstown for those not local) called into my office just before lunch. He explains to me that he's just come from Dun Laoghaire District Court, the judge having told him he needs to see a solicitor.
I politely enquire why he was in Court.
"Fer stealing a car", he says. "But it's a fi' up by the guards".
I ask what happened.
"I wuz in a public phone box in Watson's estate [Killiney] when I saw da motor sartin' to roll down da hill. 'Cause there was no-one init I was concern'd, like, that it would ram into sumwon. So I tells me mate on da blower to hol' on an' I ran real quick, managed to break da winda on da drivurs side 'n jump in. Jus den the pigs arrived n' lifted me. Der tryin' ta do me for knickin it. Can ya sort it for me?"
And where were you when they lifted you I asked.
"Tallaght".
