  1. if you mean me I think I'm more like this...
  2. an image search of number two son got this :-/
  3. and of mine i meant this fella Though maybe next year there'll be more. Mind you, he's no looker is he, maybe success isn't enough.
  4. i meant whilst this was on D_C
  5. I bet it was higher up a few short years ago. I'm actually surprised my eldest's isn't higher given a certain sporting success.
  6. http://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/er/ibn/irishbabiesnames2013/#.U-4A4_ldV8E mid 60s in ireland, and again, no sign of number 2.
  7. Ooh, number one sun scrapes in to the top 100, I doubt number 2 son would make it into the top 1000.
  8. don't write off the building-a-mansion-for-?22.36p-in-quite-literally-the-arse-end-of-nowhere_abroad option until you've tried it!! Of course naked breasts are frowned upon round here, mainly because of the instinctive reaction to frown upon everything, it's all that excess guilt...
  9. aaagh, the right-who's-next-numpties, it's a rational rage but a HUUUUUGE ONE!!!!! I do like to stand and drink at a bar, but if the queue is obviously 2 deep its time to take that drink elsewhere, if its just running out of room I usually grab the bar staff's attention for the punter in question.
  10. Hmm, novel approach Louisa, insult them. Sort treat em mean keep em keen logic to it i guess.
  11. ha ha
  12. talking of good lines, sort of a double pun here From London chat up lines http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/chat-up-lines-that-would-definitely-work-in-london
  13. a good article on the often woeful state of the reporting http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/13/robin-williams-suicide-how-not-to-kill-readers-front-pages?CMP=fb_gu
  14. Lucky we're all here to keep you positive isn't it ;)
  15. everyone has highs and lows i guess. I thought Good Will Hunting was him at his acting best, reigning in both sides of his manic nature and showing his understanding of both therapy and depression. So much else to love, Good Morning Vietnam has some great moments, that scene by the trucks shipping out balancing his nature wonderfully, The Fisher King really taking advantage of his talents. More or less agree about DPS, loved it as a kid, but like most things back then you grow out of your mistakes (I think that's why I like Robert Sean Leanoard so much as the world weary cyncic Wilson in House). I was also quite partial to his darker turns, he gave me the willlies in Insomnia (a rare excellent hollywood remake of a European original). I've probably avoided most of his more infamous terrible turns, Hook was unwatchably bad but that wasn't his fault. I guess What Dreams May Come would be the lowest point for me, schmaltzyiness concentrated in one of the truly worst films of all time, if I could unremeber an experience it would be the wasted hour watching that....and Contact why oh why!?!?!) But mostly I fell in love with him as Mork!!!
  16. A quick swizz of her posting history shows she started with his vinyl collection and has worked her way round to his porn. Poor fella!!
  17. opening a bottle of wine tends to result in a musty head the next day, whereas you can have one or two bottles and be clear as a daisy the next day. Or is that clean as a bell?
  18. In many years of going i can honestly say I have never had cause to do anything with my ticket once it has gone into my back pocket except clear off the fluff after it has come out of the washing machine.
  19. I love(d) the Einst?ck beers
  20. ANd those net curtains. btw was batdog one and the same maybe Tc (see THAT's encryption!!) could answer?
  21. This felt vaguely relevant, latest bored teenageers trend in US, they're setting fire to themselves and thought this might cheer up a few who prefer a more heavy handed approach
  22. I thought you wanted rid of gov't full stop Lady D ;-P Of course what's going on here is almost certainly *not* that the parents are abusive alcoholics (that's quite an assumption to make just because they're bullies), just that they're arseholes. As far as i know we have social services in place for the safety net, not to teach good manners. But there is a point to be made about getting the kids to be more positive. Quids can't have it both ways, on the one hand say they lack imagination and on the other say the parents don't give a sh!t. If they've never set foot in a musem and aren't giving them any guidance except the bad sort by example, then you do need resources in to outreach programmes and so forth. I remeber an article with a youth worker up in Tottenham who took kids to see the Thames, a mere bus ride away, but they were the first in THREE GENERATIONS!!!! to have gone more than a mile from their estate and certainly the first to see the city centre or the river. A single bloke can make a difference. But yes, bottom line these kids need to be discouraged from bullying and intimidating young kids by standing up to them and getting some patrols to ensure sensitive areas are safe, but pushing the problem elsewhere doesn't solve anything, so getting someone to be nice to them might help in the long run. And lastly young teens are sitting in that weird bit of life where your boundaries are expanding so your powerlessness seems to increase proportionately. It's frustrating and you experiment with drink, drugs, low level criminalty. Most do and end up perfectly functional members of society. I went through some brief periods of petty vandalism/theft etc and look at me *hic*, so really surly youths is just another facet of life (as any parent knows) .
  23. Looks like the Clock House is the key to it all, who'd have thought it could be such a hub!? https://www.ingress.com/intel?ll=51.459328,-0.063456&z=16 go...destroy!!!
  24. as you can see, not quite so much going on over here, though got to chat to a lovely couple by the goddess of the rivers or "lady in a fountain" as somebody named her. https://www.ingress.com/intel?ll=52.392908,-6.935485&z=15
  25. anybody ingressing? I see ED is all green, of course how could it be anything but enlightened thanks to the EDF! I have to say I'm quite enjoying it round here as it's making me explore nooks and crannies that even the natives are unaware of!!
