Is there anything worse than a deceptively wet field?

So I was approaching a giant field this morning and faced with the dilemma of whether to walk through it or not. I'm thinking it was raining heavy last couple of days so I prob shouldn't but the initial foot test on grass came back positive and I said meh I'll go for it. So I start to walk diagonally through the field like a champ while lolling to myself at the fish walking around the parimeter which looks like it would take twice as long.

Squelch.... hmm that's not a good noise to hear as underfoot conditions seem to take a slight turn for the worse. 'It not too late to turn back', the sensible voice in my head says, 'fuck that, it's not that wet and imagine what parimeter people would think if you retreated now' the retardly stubborn voice said. So I plough on and I wasn't getting much splash back from the ground. A this point I'm walking up a mound and can't see the other side.

FML, how could one field change this drastically I think as I'm trudging down the mound into an area of the field that would have Seamus Heaney blowing his load at the potential of a bog poem. Ahhh so this is why the locals take the long way around.

Tl dr, fields be crazy, take the path.

I don't often lol but that part got me. wp sir!

[Angry-Ball]

iam tired, gonna go for a snooze

[Raoul Duke III]

Potatoes and cattle are also exported afaik.

[Mellor]

Yeah, was going to highlight that bit too. I keep laughing still now, have this image of Heeney rolling around in ecstasy in a wet field, wp Stitch

Ya cause when they were whinging about prices of milk while being forced to build appartments on their land and only coming away with a few millions profit during the boom I felt upset for them.

Fund-raising events and ideas for a medium sized, local, community driven, non-GAA, sports club?

Any ideas appreciated. Cheers.

How much is a lobotomy these days?
getting a needle in the face for a bit of wrinkle reduction is madness
a new low for sure

The famous 'idiot from Northern Europe' finished 3rd in the IO a few years ago, got an interview with him up on my Youtube channel actually - he was a sound lad and I'm assuming a very decent player.

Pub quiz is a must as a starting point.
We had one for the rugby team three weeks ago and cleared €1200 on the night.
Two of these a year pretty much covers an awful lot of our costs.

Edit: BK fastest finger first. *shakes fist*

Not really, 200 quid would barely get you out for 2 nights, whereas the botox will last up to 6 months!

I know your going to say its not about the money, that its a stupid thing to do, its very popular nowadays, very hard to get an appointment when the doctor calls to the beauticians once a month, busy with men and women.

I love it, it is an addiction for sure, but makes me feel brill!

I havent had done since last june, and the difference in my face from my profile pic from my birthday to the one i have now IMO unbelievable!

[ArmaniJeans]

Theres a number to the right of each post . #151032 is your post.
Click that, it'll open another page. Take the link from the address par of that page. Bingo.

Is he an actual medical doctor and if not how the hell do you get in on that racket?

Acts from club members, kids and adults. Their friends and relations will be queuing up for tickets.
Raffle.
Pack them into the local hall so its fire hazard.

[Zod]

would you spend:

€200 on two nights out

or

€200 on botox and another €200 on two nights out to show off your botox?

[Bubbleking]

would you spend:

€200 on two nights out

I wish Id get 2 nights out of that

EDIT: meant to add that my main theoretical contribution will be predicting a move towards 'social money' - community schemes etc that are characterised by a rejection of pure capitalism - e.g. time money schemes

Could you say a bit more about that please?

Also, do we have website developers (or folk with knowledge of it) on here? Surely we must. I could do with some advice.

[BabyHawk]

Ahh, the auld beef injections. Thought these had become unfashionable again, though vajazzling is quite interesting

I agree on the table quiz. You should be able to beg prizes for a large raffle and you could also have some sort of a charity waxing thing at half time.
Never fails to amaze me how much people will pay to be the one who gets to pull the strips off someone.

Guy I worked with in Intel had a good one that his GAA club use.

It's basically a prediction game - they gave out sheets around January with a ton of questions based on the next years' sporting events, Superbowl, Tour de France, 6 Nations etc etc, asking who you thought would win, how many winners trainer X would have in the Galway races etc.

They're supposed to be tracking it in a league table on their website (I haven't checked), but I'd say almost everybody at work stuck in a tenner cos it was a fun thing to spend half an hour thinking about.

[SatNav]

Is he an actual medical doctor and if not how the hell do you get in on that racket?

yes he is a doctor, funnily enough he used to be a doctor in my home place dundrum around 20 years ago, i cant remember him but my mother does.

I was doing the sunbed a few yrs back and the girl that owns the salon was looking very fresh i thought, so I asked her what make up she was using and she told all about the botox and the other stuff so i had just got a few pound redundancy and had a bit of work done!

Fairly depressing though when its starts wearing off. But it took a good year (pardon the pun) for the whole lot to wear off, so it was money well spent!

[ionapaul]

In fairness to MSN, I think many of us (men) are thinking 'what a waste of money! why would you want to do it?! etc etc...' but if someone posted that they just dropped €200 on a 'dead cert' in the 3.45 in Wolverhampton, everyone would commiserate and no-one would think 'silly waste of money!' - or at least, those who do would keep quiet! Likewise with spending cash on some other relatively frivolous product or service that is gone in a flash and carries potential health risks (boozing yourself silly at the weekend, something most of us enjoy).

My only real point being, we all waste our money in different ways...

[The Situation]

Gogogo Niland. Wins first set 6-4.

Feck it C-Kid just buy two pounds of natural yogurt, let it go off then offer to inject it in peoples faces for 200 quid a go.

The waste of money isn't the issue, but paying to have botulism injected into yourself is just stupid really.

well in fairness i dont go out drinking at the weekends at all, play a big tourney once in a while, but thats it really, its not a huge amount of money either and it is usually only twice in a year i would get it done, however it has been 12 months since the last time!

so if anyone wants to deposit through pokerstars id really appreciate it ty

have you ever popped a few yokes in your time among others bet you have?

all of which are just as dangerous if not more so, jayus ya could be hit by a bus tomorrow, i dont think botox is that bad in fairness!

[ionapaul]

I wouldn't do it myself, no chance! But many of us drink ourselves stupid on a semi-regular basis, something also potentially harmful, and there is less said about it - both are pretty silly things to do but everything is entitled to do silly things with their money and risk their health.

I'll hold my hands up and say I've no idea which activity is the most dangerous (a session of botox versus a series session of binge drinking) so perhaps the botox is of much greater risk!

[Raoul Duke III]

ah feck it you've convinced me

pint of botox please barman

[DeadParrot]

Could you say a bit more about that please?

I've dabbled in the past.

every woman should get the knockers done imo

Actually, no. was never one for amphetemines.

all of which are just as dangerous if not more so, jayus ya could be hit by a bus tomorrow, i dont think botox is that bad in fairness!

True enough, but if you're hit by a bus at least your face won't be left looking like Jack Nicholson in Batman!

[Solskjaer]

Not talking about MSN here. (gulp)
Wimmin of a certain age are scratch cards anyway so botox is just another layer of make up/stuff, it's like a 4 euro scratch card with bingo numbers. Either way it's a matter of luck as to what lurks beneath. Rule of thumb is to check out the neck area, if it's as wrinkly as a Elephants neck you bet the non-smiling wrinkless face is hiding a multitude. A smooth neck and she is probably worth a dart. Best to clear out by morning anyhoo as cougars tend to look possessed when they wake up with one eyelash missing and the multi coloured stained pillow beneath their loosening wig , YER MUDDER KNITS SOCKS IN HELL BOY, and off ya scarper back to Dublin quicker than a Cavan man leaving church during collection time.

BOTOX, wimmins revenge for roofies (can't spell-> rohipnol)

Iv read somewhere that Botulinum toxin is one of the most poisonous substances in the world

in saying that death due to alcohol related ilness would be much higher
