I think we need a thread for Padraig, I seem to rememebr a few years ago the old blighe used to try to catch the master (ahem!) me, up with his posts, like creating posts with one word and the like !!!! LOL! (as they say!) So I say we create a Pad thread that we ask him a question, but he has to respond with two answers, this goes on for two months, and I'll keep quiet, this means The man Collins will eventually win the race, its head to head:; | ||

OK, I'll start. Padraig, do you like food? | ||

Padraig - how many hours of sleep do you get on average each night? | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 1444 Registered: 10-2004 |
And what's your honest position on Hall and Oats? | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 1236 Registered: 09-2006 |
Yes, please, your honest position. You're among friends here. | ||

Like food? Yes I do. A little too much perhaps. I have just eaten a beef chili with rice combo which has lots of peppers, chilis, mushroons, kidney beans and condiments in it. Sleep? I try to get 7.5 hours. I don't always succeed. In my 20s I used to survive on 5 hours a night. I don't know how I did. Hall & Oates? What Kevin said. | ||

Time to put my child to bed Joe! I'll tell you over a few pints in Melbourne sometime, or Sydney if you're up here. Northern Ireland would take days and weeks and months of writing to even scratch the surface. Yeats once wrote that "peace comes dropping slow". He was right. The Lake Isle Of Innisfree (1892) William Butler Yeats I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear the water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core. | ||

lovely padraig, thank you. i suppose someone should think of the children. alas, i love beer, sydney and go-betweens fans.....so we should be able to sort something sometime. nb. christ my spelling has been off today....getting my yours wrong is actually unforgivable. i'd say i'm full of racing champers, but that would be one hell of a lie. i'll take the public holiday anyway. | ||

padraig - do you like cheese? And if so, name a few of your favorite varieties. | ||

Padraig, what are your favorite movies made in the land of Oz? | ||

While we wait for his reply I feel confident in saying that "Munchkin After-Hours Swingathon" will be high on his list...it certainly is on mine. | ||

I love cheese Jeff, but am off all dairy products at the moment because of a gastro thing. Edam, cheddar (particularly the strongest, black packeted, Australian cheddar Cracker Barrel), Jarlsberg etc. Aus films: The Castle, Rats In The Rank, Buried, Edge Of Realty, John "Rocky" Robinson - Roll With The Punches... (I will return to this topic sometime.) I don't know what "Munchkin After-Hours Swingathon" is Allen! Back to the cassettes for you. | ||

Guess I was getting a little obscure there...that was from a series of movies privately filmed by the Wizard himself, but which have gained quite a cult following in fifth-generation dubs over the years. | ||

I said I'd return to it... More Australian films I love: Kenny Proof I bought both of these on DVD today. Kenny was a two DVD + soundtrack CD package for $13 and Proof was $7. Bargains. |
