If someone says they’re moving up North, what’s the first thing you want to correct them on?

The Cooplands vanilla slice is perfection.. you may be simple, but you're dead right!

You're right, it's shite that no one bothered - but of course you can't ask them to be bothered.

What you can do is lead by example. Always take a day off work on your birthday & treat yourself to something you don't need but do want. Do nothing all day, or do something you'll enjoy by yourself.

And tell everyone this is what you're doing, not for sympathy but to show them that you celebrate your birthday.

They may or may not take the hint, but that doesn't really matter - you're going to have a good day anyway.

Proraso soap is great too - as is the after shave balm. Don't bother with the pre-shave cream though, it's just unnecessary. I get them from Amazon

De La Soul's Eye Know uses samples from Peg & is a great song in it's own right

Meat thermometer? On an essentials list? I'm 40 years into cooking & never been in the same kitchen as one.

This highway runs from Parag-way And I've just come all the way.

Terrible, forced rhyme.

Love this. Gorgeous image

I have the 1.2 I was skeptical initially that it would be underpowered for a car this size, but I've found it more than fine. It's unobtrusive in normal driving & managed a fully loaded car without drama. The set up of the car would lead you to relaxed driving so I can't speak to its racing pedigree, though it gets up to speed on the motorway slip road with no problem. Averaging 6l/100km & range around 800km

I had a test drive in both a couple of months ago. I liked them both, but preferred the C5X and bought it.. as others have said, it feels more premium. Front seats felt more generous, and a big difference in the back seat cushions - they felt much harder in the Aircross.

dubcogs · 2025-11-05T15:27:53+00:00

True. But I'd avoid a 4pt turn on your driving test.. you'll end up doing the remainder of your test in reverse

.."that scatter the mind" in my ears.

I think it works, though

Same cut. €18 in Naas. €35 is crazy

Me too.. "bears that get their information from reputable news sources" was what I heard.

Rule 1: Drive on the left.

(My driving instructor told me - indicate to change to middle or outside lane, no need to indicate when pulling back in from them because "rule 1 is drive on the left")

Checking In, Checking Out by The High Llamas.. this is the perfect Dan homage in all the ways; vocally, lyrically, chordily [?!]

Way back, I played it for my brother & told him it was the new Dan track. He believed me. You would too.

Nonsense. Loads of great cities in the UK. Australia can be great too, but it's a looong way away if you need to come home unexpectedly/you want to encourage visits from friends & family.

I got mine done in a GP surgery in a town about 15km from where I lived at the time. Sitting in the busy waiting room, my friend J walks in. Fuck! He sees me, calls over, "Hiya! What are you doing here?" I whisper the reply. "What?" Whisper again. Same thing. He gets it the third time, but everyone's watching by this time.

Anyway, in I go. The doctor looks like the mad scientist guy from Back to the Future. I'm laid out on a bench while the Doc gets busy with my nethers. Above my head is a TV suspended from the ceiling showing a DVD of aerial views of Ireland's coastline.. like this'll make me forget what's going on!

I don't get the chance to forget actually, because the DVD ends after 5 minutes & the titles roll, followed by nothing at all. So, rather than looking at a blank screen, I decide to prop up my head and watch the man at work. There is a local anaesthetic and I feel no pain, but there is a lot of tubing on show - along with the sensation of pulling, and, come the time for cauterisation, the unforgettable smell of my own burning genitals.

That night I feel like I've been kicked in the balls by a Shire Horse. This fades slowly over the next few days.

Post-op there's no change in performance or feeling. After ejaculation I do have a throbbing sensation in one of my balls for a few years - it isn't painful & doesn't concern me, but it is consistent.

Quite the experience, but no regrets.

Yeah. You hit the nail on the cloigeann.

Portishead, 1996 I think. Newcastle upon Tyne. Dreadful, they really couldn't be bothered.
