  • Up Front: The Innocent Sleep,

    (It’s 3:42. I wonder what Turkish Delight is called in Turkey?)

    I bet whatever they call turkish delight isn't what we call turkish delight.

    There is a guy in Parnell who walks his dog up my street every day. The dog is always wearing a dress, though not always the same one. WTF?

    WTF indeed - any idea what sort of dog it is? I mean, a little lap pooch, or something a gigantic?

    BTW, I have so little trouble sleeping, I could do it standing up when I was very small. Some might unkindly suggest I still can.

    And on McDonald's: it's infant food.

    Very true - is there anything on ther menu that actually requires teeth?

  • Southerly: The Joys of Unclehood,

    my 80 year old mother said, "If you buy her chips, I'm getting in the car, and I'm going home, and I'm leaving you here."

    Heh - my mum (now in her 70s) recounts how she lost her rag with the aforementiond nephews. The situation involved a cinema cafe & one nephew who had less ice cubes in his drink than the other (a major problem apparently).

    So she snapped & scared them shitlless, then rang me later to gauge my opinion as to whether she'd been unfair, and to ask had she been a monster to her own kids...?

    I told her no on both counts.

  • Southerly: The Joys of Unclehood,

    Mouahaha! What is it with kids & McDonalds? I confess I reached the end of my tether one weekend with my nephews (8 & 10 at the time), and admittedly, we'd dragged them all over the place at short notice as we watched, and "supported" a 15 year old in a triathlon, where the nearest McDonalds was miles away & the only snacks were chips, hotdogs on sticks, hippie vegan stuff from a hippie vegan stall, and donuts.

    aND i BELLOWED AT ONE STAGE "wE'RE NOT "QUAXING" GOING TO "QUAXING" MCdONALDS EAT YOUR "quaxing" donut & be "quaxing" GRATEFUL!

    Told their parents they'd been angels when we dropped them off.

  • Field Theory: The Home Straight,

    That would have been fantastic in the rain.

    I'm sensing a groundswell for change - ALL women's events (except for the weightlifters & stuff) will henceforth be performed in pouring rain! Sprinklers will have to be installed in every stadium.

  • Up Front: They Have the Best Rides,

    Oh, and if I did watch 'rugby' I would most likely prefer a men vs. women game to the men on men stuff.

    OMG, I must totally tell you guys about when I was in IT support for the film censors (Jane Wrightson's watch). You wouldn't believe the stuff they'd have playing in the background on their TVs while someone was trying to explain the architecture of their new system.

    OK, maybe you would believe it, but it made my eyes water.
