Strange things people do

The way modern culture is going the % of people with tattoos will increase over time. In America 40% of adults between 21-40 have a tattoo. That will break 50% soon and it will happen over here too.

Does that mean she was born in Dublin, or did she confirm with her parents that she was conceived in Dublin?

I knew a Rangers and Wets Ham fan in London, full orange order and loyalist tattoos, one of which was a barcode that said 'Made in Northern Ireland'. His great-grandfather had been born in Belfast, his surname was Kavanagh! He used to get very upset when I called him Irish Mick because of it! Thankfully he never hit me though. He looked like Buster Bloodvessel after a few weeks in a health farm. I drunkenly offered him out once, after a Glasgow derby, and although he said no he liked me after that. Some logic.

Pub was a heady mix of Irish nutters and West Ham ICF when i lived over that way. All got on like a house on fire surprisingly. Ireland v France in the Euros was a mad mad day.

So he f**ked up the chances of me getting away early because he hadn't the gumption to go and sit in the pub, a bookies, McDonalds or go for a drive for a few hours.       BUMP   He booked two days off work, yesterday and today, to go to a wedding yesterday. He's come in for a few hours today just to get out of the house. Jaysus he must really hate his life

Why on earth did he think that would be a good idea

I used to have a thing that the lights in the house had to be even. you can turn on landing light from downstairs and upstairs if it's uneven used to annoy the crap out of me so much that I run up or down the stairs to correct it.

When moved to new house the lights was designed different so no matter what you did it was always uneven I eventually got over it thanks to that.
