The deepest ocean - that'd be the ocean reflected in your eyes;)


Oh, I think all the girls are lovely here, and I am tart with a heart! :-4

Wow, seems that I'm not the only one with the gift of the gab either! (blushes and sits down). :wah:

Think so.

To be honest and serious for a moment, I'm a bit pissed off actually.



Our local tv was showing it yesterday and fine for those that are going down there and coming away with motorbikes and cars etc but they also showed a container that had a family's personal belongings that were being shipped to South Africa, there was a group of young men rifling through it to see what they could find, when the interviwer asked them if they felt guilty they just laughed and said finders keepers. That really annoyed me, fair enough if the stuff belongs to a business and it's insured but this was someones belongings that have a sentimental value that can't be replaced by insurance. If it was my stuff I'd hunt them down and smack them one.



The Police are stopping the greedy b*stards going to the beach now.



Also our local waterfowl warden has started to find sea birds on the beach covered in oil so now the RSPB have got to waste time and resources on sorting it out.



Not to mention the impact it has on tourism.



I'll stop now but I think you can gather that I'm not too thrilled by it.

Immy YOU and I are only 2 days apart in age!!

Think that calls for celebration...what do you think??

Suzy - I've got clothes with a range of 3 different sizes - sadly only the biggest fit now but hey ho, shall I bring you some?

Thats kinda what I thought, its all a bit unpleasant, but I wanted to hear what ye think over there about it. Its a tricky one for the cops, but it must be a nightmare for the locals.

Its been a hard day! :wah:


Just glad you are doing OK, I gotta go out to a friends house in a minute now.

Then I think you should come to the party!



If not then perhaps we could have a cyber birthday party here!!!

Hamster;526838 wrote: Immy is tourism the only real "industry" there now?


Sadly in this part of Devon it is. So many jobs and business's rely on it. Fortunately mine doesn't but we have run business' in the past that do.



It can be a very difficult thing to judge too, the only thing you can guarantee to sell to holidaymakers is food - but even then if the weather is against you that's not easy either.



But it always amazes me just what rubbish people on holiday will buy!!

Hamster;526846 wrote: Immy can I bring the snacks?


To the real party or the cyber one?



You'll be welcome at both - by the real party you'll have a bigger belly then me and for the cyber one it won't matter anyway!!:wah:

I dig that, its amazing how many people come over to Ireland and go home weighed down with green platic hats, rubber leprechauns, and all that nonsense, there are plenty of very nice things to buy here, but I suppose there is the cost issue, if you have any money at all by the time you've paid for your taxi your doing well round here.

Actually my little one was chased down the beach by a seagull...awful things!


We had some nesting on our roof once and they used to dive bomb us when we went outside.



Once though we got a member of staff to move a nest 'cos they kept trying to attack the staff when they went into the yard to get to the vehicles (bit necessary when going on a funeral) but he dislodged it and an egg fell the wrong side of the building into the road and landed on top of a car parked there - smashed and there was a tiny baby seagull in it - yuck!

Right then, gotta go for now and organise tea. Keep thinking of your intelligent questions for me and I'll get back to you with my non-intelligent answers.

What are you drinking sat night? I'm going to bring supplies!;)

(You have to help me celebrate stuff!)



Mainly soft drinks - alcohol makes me really ill these days - but a little glass of white wine will go down well



What sort of music do you like?



All sorts - from Marillion to Take That to the music from Lord of the Rings



Do you mind if me and Bendybird go loopy on e numbers?:wah:


No - Do you mind if I laugh?

Hamster;526916 wrote: Immy am I allowed to have one drink on Saturday night?


The advice now is not to have any but I used to have a little drinkie poo when pregnant and the monster is fine! So you can have one!!

Pinky;526948 wrote: I'm already there in my own head!

Crikey, I feel unstoppable at the mo! I can't wait to celebrate with you guys!:yh_dance



Just goes to show, my down periods don't last that long...I hated showing that side of myself because I'm not a naturally 'down' kinda girl. Never takes me long to get over it though!:sneaky:


So.... I don't need to bring the wine gums then;)

Hamster;526951 wrote: :yh_party :yh_party Yeah!!



I was gonna have one anyway....:wah:


it's going to be me, you and Jimbo in the sober corner laughing at the others!!
