Has to be my most conflicted and confused Would
vittorio@IterIntellectus
bryan may be up to something. he does NOT look 47
English
@CethanLeahy I am 52 and I am fairly sure I look the same age as he does, minus the weird iridescent pallor.
English
@robpalkwriter Ah that's a fabulous choice though. Well done your Dad and his excellent taste. (mine had Hearts & Bones and When an Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease, which was .... tough but lovely)
English
@robpalkwriter Ah Rob I'm so sorry, he sounds lovely (and that he would have got on well with my own Dad who died last year). xx

@JPierreCoyle I brought my visiting manager from the US there a few years back, on the company dime (his PA informed me he liked "meat and two veg" food and I figured that would do it). It was pretty nice but almost entirely full of middle aged men on expense accounts.

@ErisLovesMovies I also made Boat Friends with some nice academics from Genoa when we were in Sicily.

@oceanclub I get the impression that a lot of Dublin new builds are entirely designed around the principle of "how can I build this as cheaply as possible while cramming as many rooms in as possible, given how much the land cost". You do get the odd nice one, but ... yeah.

@_emilyoram I looooooved tap as a kid! I can still do a semi-respectable Manhattan time step....
English
@lrbobrien Oh yeah, incredibly dull. Bleurgh. And I speak as someone who likes Sam Stephenson.

@SueKirk @SaMcDuff @cianginty Is she the one who makes cornflakes from scratch in a ballgown, etc.? I always assumed it was some kind of weird performance art project.

@legionoftwo Look at you TINY BABIES. I had also forgotten how much ye olde Point looked like a shed.
English
@Viriconia Ah boo. I hope the rest of it is better and that you have a nice Birthday Weekend (or week/month, I fully believe my birthdays should be as long a festival as possible).
English
@_emilyoram Oh god those mandatory training videos. We have one on workplace discrimination and it is basically THE SAME ONE EVERY YEAR AND IT GOES ON FOR AN HOUR.
English
@Viriconia Urgh, sympathies. 14yo and I had what I presume was the same filthy cold and it was very, very cough-y. I am just getting over it now and am a being of pure Lemsip/Exputex.
English
@sarramanning I am very close to not getting it as I have only one guess left and can't for the life of me think what it might be.
English
@shockproofbeats My late great-aunt used the (possibly self-invented) "bulliphants", which I feel is in need of a revival.
English
'Blocked' is still the go-to from my teen years in Derry, and travels further south have rendered me partial to "langers" but I don't feel like any term quite hits the spot like Dublin's "gargled" which has a simply exquisite mouthfeel.

We're putting together a map of regional terms for being drunk and discovering just how many there are we'd never previously heard. So, whether leathered or foxed, mortal or mortagious, what are the best - and the most specifically regional - Terms Of Em-beer-ment you know?
