Chat Thread (Keeping Pointless Pap out of Legitimate Threads!!)

@onya, you watched it then? I'll admit the all blacks are a better team, but they were 3 - 3 right up to half time, it was the irish lads own fault, they should have held on to the ball instead of kicking it and that would have changed the dynamics of the whole second half!

Still, if's buts, no point in any of them! LOL!

I wasn't trying to offend anyone or make any kind of a point by calling the NZ team the all blacks, that is simply what we call them!

 

Don't be silly...until we've rebuilt our team to it's former glory...I'll wait for the days to come.

You shoulda heard what we called 'em back in the boycott days.....make your hair turn white it would. ;]

 

@Evastar

I was no way inferring that you had offended me or anyone else. It's just that way here-refreshing to see it's better in other environs. You see in the States, there is a lawyer on every street corner and everyone's out to win in the court, a slander or bad drugs lottery case. You have to really watch what you say, print or email or medicine taken, prescribed by decent doctors. So much for free speech!

 

.. That should be "time waits for no carbon based life form, or anything else anywhere both real or imagined which either exists or doesn't whichever the case may be" *giggles*

 

It has been getting much more multi-cultural over here in the last ten years or so, and we have had our problems integrating - it will be interesting to see what happens now that jobs aren't so freely available, will the people that have always lived here resent the economic migrants; after all Ireland has a history of sending her people off around the globe in search of better lives!

I have to agree the pc brigade tend to take things a bit too far, but personally i like to deal with people as individuals, nothing to do with age, sex, orientation, race, creed etc! We still use terms like husband, wife, partner, etc, i will call my gay friend's boyfriend, his boyfriend, not his significant other, and my lesbian friends' girlfriends their girlfriends. So what? I'm not insulting anybody, they don't have a problem with it so why should anyone else?

We don't sue as much over here as they do in the states, but it is getting worse; people see it as a way of making a quick buck without having to work for it, they just look for any reason or excuse, and that's the main problem as far as i can see.

 

Sex, politics and organised religion...ahhhh guaranteed to disrupt any dinner table conversation or cause black eyes and fat lips down at the pub..lol. The word "partner" applies to two things, one being a business arrangement and the other to crime....and if we're talking lawyers and such, who could spot the diff?

 

Yeah, maybe we should get back to the weather, or the rugby, before we get ourselves into trouble!

Not too bad here today, a bit damp, maybe 8 degrees celcius?

It's supposed to get very cold by Thursday or Friday though, so we might get some snow!

Hey endo, and bryston, anyone else that lives in california, what's the situation over there with these fires?

 

35 degrees in sunny Louisiana now and a high of 70 this afternoon.

 

It's -2c up here today and everything has a nice layer of frost on it.

Have to go and scrape off the car now. :-(

 

Yeh it's 31F here now... supposed to be a high of 71F and nice weather for West Texas... that means light winds.. lol.

Oh you PC worriers.... NO need to hide from it and if talking about it at the local Pub results in black eyes and fat lips then by all means talk about the "all blacks" and "whoever" else that'll keep the situation at a less than fracas level.... hehehee.

....gm

 

29f here right now.

Actually had a wee bit of snow on my car this morning.

 

7th it doesn't seem that cold to be able to wee snow. hehehe.

Howdy to all, and a good morning to the folks in the states.

Good afternoon to ye lot over seas.

....gm

 

@gm - i'm not hiding from anything, i made a perfectly innocent comment about a rugby team, i just don't want to go against AD's policies here, which is no politics, religion etc!

So it's nice and warm there compared to here anyway!

@7thsinger - snow?

 

Eva I was jus messin wit ya deary.

Well off to do something that resembles work. lol.

Have a nice day all!!!

....gm

Even you endo!!!!

 

ok, have a nice day in work!

 

ddp stay warm and don't get near those trees with the snow..

....gm

 

Sure it was the snow hardening not a sudden flush into the roadside big pineys at the prospect of seeing all the others losing their clothing of leaves?
