Travellers are the only people who play handball these days , it’s the new pitch and toss.
Presents.
Mrs Rock is in town today on a couple of errands. I’ve instructed here to bring me home a present of some sort. It’s not my birthday or anything, I’m just a great fan of the material gift and I’m looking forward to her return now.
What she get you Rocko? Might go and get myself a present today for working hard during the week.
Very un-socialist.
the orange order been compared to the bigots in the GGA- its about time someone called a spade a spade & highlighted just how bigoted the OO are
ON October 11 the Irish Times reported that the Ulster Bank had “sincerely” apologised to the Orange Order for any offence that the bank’s support of the Down GAA football team may have caused the order’s members.
The Orange Order has accepted the apology and is now to seek Ulster Bank sponsorship for some Twelfth of July events next year.
Recently, grand secretary of the order Drew Nelson wrote to the bank complaining about staff members at its branch in Castlewellan wearing Down shirts ahead of the All-Ireland final against Cork, which the Ulster team lost.
He wrote to the branch manager saying that “given the recent display of encouragement for the County Down Gaelic team, representatives from the institution would be keen to meet with you to discuss how the bank can also engage with and support local Orange lodges in the Castlewellan area in terms of community development and sponsorship or support for mini-Twelfth or Twelfth of July related festivals in the near future”.
The branch manager responded saying he was “obviously aware of the discomfort” caused to Orange Order members as a result of the branch supporting the Down team.
“I can assure you that we had no intention other than to celebrate their success in the All-Ireland championship. You will appreciate that Down’s first final appearance for 16 years generated a lot of interest, especially since a colleague based in our Newry branch plays for the team,” the manager added.
“If we failed to control our enthusiasm in participating with other businesses in Castlewellan’s ‘red and black’ celebrations, then I sincerely apologise . . . and any offence we have caused is entirely unintentional,” he said.
Clothes. Good but not great. I’d have preferred a gadget of some sort or a bit of RAM or something.
Bit boring, you’re not going to get any immediate satisfaction out of clothes unless it’s a jersey.
Would have preferred a gadget myself, might nip out and get myself a new xBox game or a DVD box set of some sort later.
Goes with what I’ve always said - presents in general are just a waste of money, birds only want them so they can tell their mates what you got them. It’s a pain in the arse trying tyo think of something - go out and get yourself something, give me the receipts and I’ll reimburse you to a certain value.
That’s a fair point Tinnion but I still enjoy a surprise and I enjoy receiving gifts while not having to go into shops and all the hassle that entails. You should nip out now and treat yourself to something. You can get a decent game for the price of a couple of NYC haircuts.
have you no morals fooley? just because you are a cueball you think you can make an easy £200? speak to your ho first before you sign up
obviously its too late for you as youve already polluted the planet with your seed

My lady friend arrived home from Brighton with a bag of Rhubarb and Custard sweets and a stick of rock moulded into the shape of a big lollypop.
