Simple Pleasures

[91/30]

Yeah, very common. Some of them aren't bad, and they do hit the spot. I think your brain is so accustomed to the beer in sense out paradigm that you do feel slightly altered after having a zero or two:)

Yes  noticed that   I put it down to rhe chemicals or high sugar content.  Probably the latter

[Eoin McLove]

Oh yeah, defo. I've been out and drank five or six and jumped in the car feeling woozy until I reminded myself I hadn't drank any alcohol

Day drinking

Young man's game, only possible on holidays and maybe Paddy's weekend now.

It is a rare occurrence for me nowadays but I'll take advantage of the opportunity.  Siege now in three weeks so it will happen then again, surely, if I can get in on time.

Just spotted a pair of Bullfinches in the garden.  Not sure if they are a pair, but a male and a female having a snoop around.  Buzzing as I haven't seen one in ages.

Day drinking

No wife or young lad this weekend so I've lads from Donegal, Sao Paolo and Nigeria calling over Saturday for 'the rugby'. I dunno lads, the last few hangovers have been so chastening that I feel a mixture of elation and despair at the prospect.

I was under the impression you were in the AA or something from your posts

After a few double ups I've finally catalogued all/most of my records on discogs and the app has a feature where you shake your phone and it will show a random release from your collection. Its has been great when I'm not sure what I want to listen to, I've been finding loads of cool stuff I haven't listened to in a long time or had completely forgotten about.

[Anvil]

Didn't know about shaking the phone gives you something random!  Like yourself I do find the random item is useful for those times you can't decide what to listen to. 

[ochoill]

That's a great function.  Actually must log back into discogs and redo my collection, think it's been six or seven years now and I have a few additions since then!

Lol best of luck.  I had some fairly cruel hangovers lately too that have made me reassess the drink approach.  Not as in taking it easy or anything but more swapping out what I know kills me for stuff that doesn't put me in the horrors.  It's been lagers only for a couple of weeks and the next days of each rip have been the solid finest.

Cut my hair on a whim and fucked it all into a bin. Such freedom, should have done it ages ago.

To be fair, it was a lot thinner than the last time I had long hair (18 odd years ago) and the oul' ponytail was a lot narrower when it was tied back. Middleage hair is a pain in the hole. Only let it grow again during the Covid kablammo. Nice to finally let go.

The fact that I did it after coming home from an 8 pinter is wholly coincinental.

I've been shaving my head for years now and wet shaving it for nearly 3 years. Can't bate the sleek look and feel. I'm more aerodynamic which shaves milliseconds off my time when I'm doing the shopping on a Saturday morning, and every millisecond counts when it comes to weekend chores.

[Carnage]

Oh I'm a bald veteran, been shaving it for a long time. Just let it grow back during the lockdown for the craic.

That newly shorn feeling, spreading a cold palm across yer dome - glorious. Everyone should do it at least once, male or female.

[Caomhaoin]

Poor bastards 😂

[Carnage]

I should point out (for Caomhaoin's sake) that I still have a full head of hair, 'tis just a bit thinner in excelsis. Cut short now and it's grand. I also could not give a fuck if I went bald in the morning, I'd just rather it being gone than going. The inbetween shit is a pain in the scrotum.
