This is how political ads should be done. Simple and clear with the illusion of detail and completeness. Whatever one might say about his work as a President, dude sure knows how to campaign.

A friend of mine said to me today wtf are you going to slimming world, you arnt fat. I put all my weight on across my stomach and boobs. My jeans size never ever changes from a size 10, its weird. I dress to disguise the top part of my body so I dont actually look huge but actually in my eyes standing naked I look awful! Colm even commented on it when he was home at the weekend and Im delighted he did as then I decided right fuck this , cop yourself on!

Keep a close eye on it, tethering seems to make your data disappear very quickly.

Just keep an eye on what data you are using as you go, not that difficult. Should be something in your settings for data usage, if not install an app called 3g watchdog.

It's all useful data...most of it is based around the distance to the next turn, severity of said turn (normally categorised as 6 which is a gentle curve to 1 which is a tight hairpin) and whether the exit opens or narrows, as well any hills or bumps that would make the driver lose traction.

They obviously decided on the day and told the lecturers in charge who got it. They in turn emailed us.

Must say the rejection is rather painful as Glanbia was the dream location. Think im just going to forget about location for any of the future jobs and just concentrate on a good workplace.

I guess this was the first of the interviews and i have a 2.1 average so im obviously up against a few 1.1 candidates which makes it harder. Although im still overly paranoid wondering if i said something stupid or that maybe the casino experience is a put off.

Home for the weekend on a conjugal visit and he starts mentioning your weight. I don't know whether to admire his braveness or shake my head at the riskiness of it.

Love hate was the absolute nut worst for this, every actor trying to do a working class dub accent and failing miserably and sounding so wooden trying to pull off the language, surely there's a bunch of lads from finglas and summer hill that would have been far better able to portray dub ganstaaaaaass.

The fact that Aidan Gillen is from Drumcondra and apparently has never heard a finiglas accent is mind boggling.

I told himself a long time ago that if I ever asked had I put on weight to tell me straight out and not to lie to me. So I was getting dressed last friday morning and I say ffs Im like a horse , arnt I, well am I? he goes well if you want me to be honest and you always told me to be honest, yes you have put on weight and are starting to resemble a female rugby player type

lol , I actually dont mind . if he lied and said ah your lovely to me and all that shite I probably would not have went to SW today.

I wont see him for at least 5 weeks as he has a stag in the UK the next time he is due home here so hopefully he will see a nice change.

**Closed_Account** · 27-09-12, 20:30

Aidan Killen is one of the redeeming features of that show! In Series 1 the lad with the scar was the real deal, sounded like an absoulte knack and looked the part. He only got two episodes though.

One of the lads I played football was in it, the new nutjob Fran The Man in Series Two and he was relatively believable, saying that he is a bit off the head in real life.

Still looking forward to Series 3.

**Closed_Account** · 27-09-12, 20:36

Nidge is one of the the main things that makes me think twice about watching it tbh! He is so, so unbelievable in his role its lol worthy. Like ffs he drifts into a weird quasi English accent during some scenes. What a cnut. The sex scene between himself and the blonde knack must have one of the most cringeworthy scenes ever in Irish TV. Hope the fook he gets done in during the next Series.

**MrPillowTalk** · 27-09-12, 20:37

The lad who plays Nidge gets the accent and rhythm of the language perfect, the rest of them are terribad.

It was supposed to be cringeworthy. Nidge is always getting himself into awkward situations its hilarious.

People get ridculously upset over accents in Irish productions.
I'm sure even in the best American TV that not everyones accent is perfectly correct for the exact suburb of Baltimore/LA/NY/Chicago that their character is supposedly from.

No different then the govt paying a nice juicy yield on its bonds at a time when we are a big risk. When you're borrowing from the moneylender end of the market you take what you get and like it.

How much does the Tunnel cost to build? Maybe we got a good deal.

A very valid point. When you strip away the mumbo jumbo and words like gross redemption yield and par value you really get a feel for where we're at. Just wait until we can't pay your pension....

The last time I saw that on the scales was after having Mia! Well I suppose it didnt help that I went to supermacs for the last supper before I joined up . So there was a monsterous burger and garlic fries and ice cream laying in the pit of my stomach!

So here goes hopefully have a stone down by xmas, dont really need to lose alot more than that I am thinking as I am fairly tall. But shur if I do all is good!

Then on monday ........shock horror I am off the cigs and going on the electronic one. Most of my friends are on it for a couple of months and all managed to stay off them. So new me on the way. IPB xmas outing for now will be my goal!

Glad to hear it Michelle. Make use of the website and maybe do a blog like I did. It helps keep you going when you know eyes are watching!

A stone can be done easily in the first month. I wanted to get below my target so I could indulge while I was away.

I was delighted to buy THREE pairs of American size 3 jeans (No idea what the uk size equiv is though)

What I do is plan the menu ahead using the website and do a shopping list of what I need to buy. I have most of the spices now so half the time I only need some meat to make a dish.

If you just do a random shop it will be hard to put the dinners together.
