Reminds me, my favourite Nick Cave song. I always think of an good friend of mine I lost contact with over twenty years ago who was the spit of Nick Cave. For Pat.

God be with the days when Ireland produced serious Oscar material like this.

Great film, waiting patiently for the sequel. Any day now hopefully.

Some call it obsessional...

Edit - yes, I did say this week.

That's some impressive attention to detail Joe. I do get satisfaction out of washing away the suds off the car with the help of my watering can.

It's certainly TMI but I have had to learn to unblock the sewage pipes and also the septic tank because himself often works away and it has to be done. There is a problem with the falloff degree of the pipes and there are not infrequent problems. It could be seen as gruesome and in some ways it is,...

What an idiot.

Greasing machinery. This truly can be both a highly enjoyable task and very frustrating one. I will only post about the enjoyable ones this time. I'm on my last grease nipple, the grease tube is probably nearly empty, working the grease gun and praying that the gentle cracking sound comes soon... an...

Another one is part of my Christmas routine, I get a load of aa and aaa batteries and do my annual replacement of old batteries in remote controls and clocks... I've loads of clocks...most I wouldn't look at from one end of the year to the next... but they have to be done. :mrgreen: After doing that...

Was looking at a video of someone in China tapping the roof of a house and big slabs of snow falling off and found it something I'd get great satisfaction out of. Got me thinking of what mundane tasks I do that I look forward to doing and give me that chuffed and satisfaction feeling. For me it's un...

There's footage of Russian infantry units of 6 to 8 men repeatedly probing into Ukraine areas looking for Ukraine positions and getting wiped out....happening over and over,until Russia can pinpoint the Ukrainian positions and then wipe them out It was (and is) the only viable way,to overcome impas...

Who are these buckos? They come across as a pair of poor man's "Lord Haw Haw" and much as I have little time for the Ukrainian leadership this sort of biased shite would almost have me sending him a few bob. The truth still remains that Russia and Ukraine are two sides of the same coin - ...

Deputy ministers, officials and regional governors among those replaced as president seeks to clean up public life. Corruption in Ukraine - who would have thought it. :roll: https://www.ft.com/content/9b5da3fc-d408-4df2-84ca-48bdcbde594e I was only finished watching some commentary on this, there i...

How to persuade my neighbour to sell me a bit of his field ... Called in this afternoon to the local notaire (best source of independent property purchase advice in France) who confirmed that the idea is feasible, no strange restrictions in force in this area, no known re-zoning plans in the works....

Could others please offer their opinion on this posters pity party thread? The event occurred 32 years ago. A new reg OP too. https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058280952/advice-on-inheritance#latest :D feckin hell just seen that now. Original post deleted but here it is below. I know things can pla...

As mammy used to say 'the dead appeared and arose to many' :mrgreen: I should have added that she always got it wrong and that's what I found the funniest about it especially since wasn't deliberate :lol: Watch out D, the Zombies are on their way to you as I type this post. 🧟‍♀️ 🧟‍♀️ 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♂️...

I did think,the day of tank warfare was gone....they are getting rinsed in this war, particularly via drone Dunno why the significance of these,but there's enough talking about em,send em or don't,but stop it as a distraction That Ukraine army won't be collasping,Russia is gonna need wade through a...

If they gonna do it,they should get on with it imo Everyday spent fecking about,is a day of preparation lost,as the spring comes around The tanks won't make any difference, which is a major part of why Germany are reluctant to send them. You have to remember that Ukraine had hundreds of main battle...

Unfortunately nowhere sunny just busy in work with early starts. Although at the end if all of this I'll probably need a week away somewhere sunny. Ye haven't got rid of me just yet.

Reminds me I must get out abit more with the metal detector this year in my search for scrap metal.

It was a nasty thing to do. Very nasty. Even though I wouldn't vote for her if my hair was on fire and she had an extinguisher, I still offered her my condemnation of the act and hope that she is okay. I don't condone these acts, but thinking to myself, while walking into the kitchen to make a cup ...

Interestingly there was an interview on RTE radio with one of the recipients of the bit of cow dung flung at them and another politician and I was hoping the RTE journalist would pipe in and mention something along the lines of is this sort of thing not an indication that the public are increasingly...

It wasn't a 110-90 or 390 by any chance? Those things were nearly more valuable now than when new. No J it was a Deutz DX 85, was a good tractor, but I originally picked it up for 3500. I sold it to a man for I think 4000 or 4500 thousand, that's all it was realistically worth. Said he was going to...

Turns out it was cow dung, they should try spending a day taking out a 120 tonnes of it out of a shed.

I fckin hate this song, every time I hear it I feel like picking up a hammer to destroy the source that its coming from.

Mud slinging has been taken to a new level. Why would anyone waste good cow manure on a politician although it hasn't been established what type of poop it was.
