It was the last day of Primary school for me, now onto the next level. High school. *Gulp*

Ah poor Jacob ... the adult world beckons

February 15th I think I start, but hey. I got a month and half or so until I go back, I got my time to relax.

[Bighuey]

Good luck, Jacob. High school is a big step, but you'll do fine.

I think its great that we have another few members join the forum who have stayed longer than the usual 2 or 3 posts, and they are all ages and nationalities, its always nice to see new faces long may it continue.

Agreed Mike ... pity so many don't stay long enough for us to get 'virtually' acquainted but thankfully we have a hard core of dedicated readers & posters.
Making an early start on the Bailey's coffees ... will probably be sick as a parrot tomorrow

Yep, a few seem to be lasting the course and its good to see different people and their tastes share their views.

Bailey's coffees Fran? Well at least some things never change, eh.....

Ah no Cider is a hot summer day drink (not that we see many of those!) but we're in the middle of Winter so I think my Baileys coffee is more appropriate. Great not to have last Xmas weather though Thank God.
OH won't be in until about 2am so I'm debating will I watch Thor or will I go with Tommy Tierney's DVD? ... not sure I'll stay awake through either though

Cider is the drink of the Gods Fran, it gets me drunk after 3 cans so thats good enough for me, Bud usually takes 4 or 5 pints ha ha. Plus pear cider is the icing on the cake.

Tommy Tiernan will keep you up with his shouting so go with him if you want to stay up. Yeah, thank God the snow has stayed away, it really was a pain in the backside last year, its only funny for one year max. But we wont get a "Bridie" character this year laughing around in the snow making the irish look daft

We don't need Bridie to do that

[StephenKingman]

Ah well the heat is off us for a while what with Cameron being an island from Europe.

Maybe we will still get an Xmas Bridie, remember the one with the floods?

"Every bit of land we have is COVERED", I remember the lads in work passing clip around in tears of laughter

Oh I remember Bridie ... she's still on YouTube I bet & the unfortunate guy falling in the frost .... do you remember that one RTE keep repeating it & to my shame I laugh everytime (slaps wrist!)
It's very breezy here today but actually quite balmy ... we might have to get tips from Gannon & Maud for having a barbecue Xmas dinner on the beach tomorrow (now wouldn't that be a first for Ireland!)
Few last minute bits to do & then I'm getting into Mr King .... one more sleep & you will be able to stop casting longing glances at him under your tree

[StephenKingman]

^ To be fair, if you stroll down an icy road with your hands jammed in your pockets you kinda deserve to fall! Did you see the other Bridie from Wexford in the snow last year? Here she is:

Yeah its a mild day in Waterford at moment, you wouldnt even know its December, not missing the snow at all! One more sleep, yep ill be up at 7am tomorrow to get started on King, and probably at the dinner table and in the living room afterwards, sneaky chapters here and there, i cant wait.

[Jacob]

Well, it's 11 minutes until December 25th over here in Tasmania.

So, Merry Christmas, Happy Honika, Happy Holidays and if you don't celebrate Christmas. Have a great, fun and safe days to come.

I'm going to bed.
