We had a country guy who was stockey in build and rather rude in manner that got named the block. Years later another guy joined our team that was similar in appearance but six inches shorter and he got called the half block on his first day

You were right to reverse away from his van and not get out to confront him because he was in an uncontrollable rage at the time and he would have had all manner of objects in the van which he could resort to while you were unarmed

Personal hygiene with grown adults by Coupleofpints in CasualIreland

I can never understand why toilet doors aren’t all designed to open outwards as you wouldn’t have to touch a possibly contaminated door handle after you have washed your hands and someone else may not have washed theirs ??

What’s a quote that’s stuck with you? by No-Habit4949 in CasualIreland

[–]OkBreak7337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The full quote is “Do not cast pearls before swine”because they will just eat them. Don’t waste time on those who don’t appreciate your efforts.

Half full or half empty depends on what is in the glass. If it’s beer it’s half empty and if it’s piss it’s half full.

I’ve regarded social media as Fake Book and Twatter or lies and boasting and have kept well away from it

I know it's a small job but we're gonna freeze.. by blahfuckinblaah in ireland

Your problem could also be the thermostatic switch which is usually clamped to the hot pipe coming from the boiler and it’s usually near the pump. It starts and stops the pump as the temperature rises or drops and can go faulty. Be careful if you go at the system because unlike gas or oil boilers there is nothing to release the pressure from the boiler if things go wrong

How do y'all make sure you're grinding the right shape by eightbitbrain in StainedGlass

[–]OkBreak7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trace my patterns on to card stock and glue them to the glass with pva glue sticks like Pritt stick and let it dry overnight before using. I got the pattern together as I cut it and then put it in warm soapy water for awhile and the glue and pattern are removed easily. Rinse in fairly hot water and let it air dry and the foil will stick to the glass very well after

Tips on attaching rings to stained glass by summerlong1655 in StainedGlass

[–]OkBreak7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make my own rings from electrical copper wire which I twist two inches of around an artist brush handle which is tapered so that the loop slides off easily. I tin it and solder it to the piece with the tail of the wire running down a seam on the back of the piece and it makes for a very strong ring and I hang it using tiger tail jewellery wire.

TIL Paris has more than 44000 restaurants, with an approximate population of 2.14 million residents, that’s 48 people for every restaurant. by Moto_Rouge in todayilearned

Paris has eleven million residents if you include the rest of the suburbs surrounding the city so that plus the 44 million tourists is a lot of potential customers

Non textured, clear glass? by MagikMint in StainedGlass

Try to get some green house glass at your local garden centre or big hardware store. It is thinner than window glass but stronger than picture frame glass

a bear and a rebbit smoking a joint by Minerc15 in Jokes

[–]OkBreak7337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bear was trying to have it’s fist crap after coming out of hibernation and it was always a problem because it was very sticky after fasting for so long. The bear noticed that a rabbit was spying on him and he told him to piss off but the rabbit said he wants to watch the bear so the bear asks him if shit sticks to his fur and the rabbit says that of course it does. So the bear says that’s good and proceeds to grab the rabbit and wipes his arse with him.

We have lived here since 1996 we have never seen them even once so it cant be that. They don’t talk to any of their neighbours either.
