Wall of Mouths

Have a good one, Grant.

Eh, you got fired from McCorporation? I missed that!
What happened? Let me guess, you spoke English too much? ;-)

Ok, I’m now in.

So yis are all fucked!

Hmm, I’m never quite sure about getting a bands’ name or logo tattoo’d.

What if one of ‘em turns out to be a kiddie-fiddler or something? I mean, I bet someone somewhere has a Gary Glitter tattoo before he was busted!!

Two Minutes of Silence - The Beatles

Dermot, are you saying that my work colleagues are not welcome?

That’s colleagueism!!

Oh, forgot to mention, King_Hill, Deus are playing the 2nd stage on Friday.

This is what I’m up against… the Sunday line-up at Oxegen;

MAIN: Rage Against The Machine, Kaiser Chiefs, The Fratellis, The Kooks, The Blizzards, The Feeling, Eddy Grant.
2ND: Chemical Brothers, The Raconteurs, Republic Of Loose, Kate Nash, The Pigeon Detectives, We Are Scientists, The Courteeners, The Subways.
3RD: Ian Brown, The Pogues, Tom Baxter, Reverend and the Makers, Jack Penate, Alabama 3, The Stranglers, The Hold Steady, The Whigs

Plus there are a bunch of other stages not worth mentioning.
Typical Ireland - whatever’s the flavour of the month in the UK, we’ll follow suit like sheep. :-(

Oxygen festival next Sunday. I got a ticket a few months ago when I heard Rage against the Machine were headlining, I assumed the rest of the bill would be rock/metal. I was wrong. Apart from Rage, the heaviest band playing in Kaiser Chiefs. ‘Nuff said.

Can’t say I’m looking forward to it too much.

Congrats Carl.
And you’re younger than me - respect. The prospect is quite daunting for me still, and I’m nearly bloody 30! :-D

Portugal 2 Germany 1
Croatia 2 Turkey 0
Holland 3 Russia 1
Spain 1 Italy 0

Any odds?

I agree with KJC, if the EU truly was a democracy then they should accept the Irish ‘No’ vote with grace and move towards a solution. Is it saying something that the only country whose people were allowed to vote (‘cos it’s in the Irish constitution that we must vote on all matters; a hangover from being occupied without rights for 800 years) voted no? The EU dictators simply think we should go fuck ourselves ‘cos we’re only a small nation.

Being bullied into saying ‘Yes’ isn’t the answer - if it does go to another vote next year or whenever, it will be rejected by an even bigger margin. Bullying and threats of sanctions is not the way to get a ‘Yes’ vote from us. In the first place, if they had treated us with respect and said “look, you lose out here and there, but the gains are this…” then the Treaty may have been passed. But they treated us like submissive little kids and they got their reward!

Not that I’m political, like. :-)

I was completely wrong about the Dutch team’s chances - they look fantastic. I hope they carry it on and win the thing.
It would help erase the nightmare footie ‘played’ by Greece last time around.

mr self destruct, nice that your missus is from Holland - my missus is from Poland who’ve embarassed themselves at the euro’s so far!
She’s not too impressed. She gave me a bollicking the other night ‘cos I laughed when the 57 year old Austrian chap scored a penalty in added time.

I think you’ll find he is referring to mine.

My dry sardonic wit is a winner with the punters every time!

My lady loves;

Lonely Cryin Only, Long Distance, Our White Noise, Walk Through Darkness, DSA etc…

The melodic shit! :-)

Nope. She’s not too keen on the whole internet scene. Although I did bring her to see T? supporting Motorhead a while ago and she enjoyed it and has been asking when T? are playing in Ireland next. So that’s good!

My original post is now null and void, as I’ve been successfully hen-pecked and had my spirit broken for the last two years.

Only kidding, she’s great really :-D

I dunno. I had a little chuckle when the now obligatory Dutch in-fighting happened again. This time it’s Schneider and Van Persie. Although Ruud van Horseface is behaving himself so far, surprisingly.

I have a feeling they’ll be on an early flight (train?) home. And France. I have a sneaky feeling for Romania to shock everyone and knock two of the big boys out.

Happy belated birthday Hooch! (damn, I should really check the birthdays section each day!) :-)

And happy fuck-all to those people celebrating birthdays today but are never here on the boards!
I can say that ‘cos none of ‘em will read this and abuse me in retaliation!
Hee hee :-D

Saw Ricky Warwick (ex- The Almighty) playing in my local pub last night. Very good show, just him with an acoustic. The guys got a great voice it has to be said. Hung around chatting with him afterwards, an all round cool guy.

He’s playing in Cork tonight if anyone’s interested!

I also have the best team name. So there.

Spain for the win. Go giants, high five, whoooo!!

Yeah, I was first!! I was first!!!
Me me me!!! :-)

That was me butters, there are a few lads in the league from my workplace!

I couldn’t be bothered to create a new league just for the workplace so I asked them to join the womble league - should beef up the thing if nothing else.

Happy birthday Graeme!

May all your dreams be w… and so on, etc etc. :-)

Romania topped Holland’s group in qualifying and they’re in good form - far from the whipping boys in that group! I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they progress.

Quim (POR), Lahm (GER), Metzelder (GER), Kovac (CRO), Carvalho (POR), Ronaldo (POR), Iniesta (SPA), Galasek (CZ), Klose (GER), Torres (SPA), Koller (CZ). SUB: Ambrosini (IT)

That team is the shizzle - you gotta look at the groups each team is in. Portugal & the Czechs are the only dead certs to get out of their groups I think. I reckon Germany could go a long way too. Holland could be a first round casualty.

AS for TV , may I hold up my hand and add Eastenders to my list.

I am shocked. And saddened.
Jerry, you may delete my number from your phone, and my email address from your computer.

If someone was trying to abolish television, all they would have to do to win the argument is just say one word - “eastenders”.
It doesn’t matter how many good arguments for tv there are, that abomination will squash each one. Without fail.

The worst program in the history of ever.

No, it’s definately not a banana.

But it did squeak when I clicked it and now it’s just run off the table, so I don’t know what’s going on…!

Great start for me - I can’t even pick my team.

I’ve registered and I’m logged in, but where it says “play now”, I click there and nothing happens because there’s no link.

Is it just me then?

An, have a great birthday! I hope the Wii Fit has arrived!?
I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate your birthday, than exercising.

Er, wait, hang on…

I hope Jan has made a big effort with your pressie? :-)

You’re a doughnut??
