The Pressgang at the Purty Kitchen, Temple Bar.

Out one weekend on the town, on a beautiful Irish Summer’s night lol, me and the Girls decided to try a new place in Temple Bar called The Purty Kitchen, we really weren’t expecting anything special, especially in town on a Saturday night!!
We went in just expecting ALCOHOL!! But we were all impressed BIG TIME!!!
Its such a great place!!! and the atmosphere is really amazing in there.
The whole place is rocking with a very mixed crowd, and even better for us Ladies…the door staff and security are all very pleasant and good lookers=) we reckoned they must have been hand picked by a woman haha!
The Purty kitchen have really FANTASTIC live music on which would pull me in anywhere.
There was a superb band on called THE PRESSGANG they absolutely rocked the place, haha they had the women going nuts for them!!!. The lads were all so friendly and they even done a couple of requests for us!!
Whats more they also have a club upstairs open late..so on a Saturday night if your around Temple Bar give it a go, you won’t be disappointed!!!
I mean what more could you ask for ???

Summers over!!

Howdy all!!
Hope yis are all out buying wellies ‘n knitting away …I reckon its gonna be a cold one!!
Anyways I’m sorry that I’ve totally abandoned this blog for the entire Summer.
With the kids off school the time has flew by this Summer!! What Summer??? It was terrible. I was going to upgrade my car, but i ended up buying a canoe for a change, its a lot more strenuous but its great for getting around in the oul flash floods!!
 It wasn’t all bad, at least we had had a few nice days, still its great getting back into a routine bringing the kids back to school …I guess I missed the oul Garda ha ha, Has anyone heard of their latest new addition to protect and serve us??? Seemingly theres a rumour that if they hear a noisy and persistent house alarm they are gonna snip the wires ha ha..The burglars will have a field day!

Vibration Power Plates AKA Vibro-Power-Plates

Has anyone heard of Power plates???….Ive been pulled into the latest craze….. the Power-plates and to be honest the only effect they have on me so far is making me piss myself laughing, with everything juggling and giggling i find it hard to take them serious! So of course I did a bit of investigating last week only to discover that Madonna uses them and has been for years, seemingly its meant to be a lot more effective than a regular workout. As usual you find good and bad critics but hey Ill give them a go for a while at least if they don’t burn the Cal’s off..I can laugh them off =)

Irish Humour.

 A married Irishman went into the  confessional and said to his priest, “I
almost had an affair with  another woman.”
The priest said, “What do you mean,  almost?”
The Irishman said, “Well, we got undressed and rubbed  together, but then
I stopped.”
 The priest said, “Rubbing  together is the same as putting it in. You’re
not to see that woman  again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary’s and
put a‚ £50 in the poor  box.”
 The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and  then walked
over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then  started to leave. The
priest, who was watching, quickly ran  over to him saying, “I saw that.
You didn’t put any money in the poor  box!”
The Irishman replied, “Yeah, but I rubbed the a‚ £50 on the  box, and
according to you, that’s the same as putting it  in!”
                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There once was a religious  young woman who went to Confession. Upon
entering the confessional, she  said, “Forgive me, Father, for I have
sinned.”
The priest said,  “Confess your sins and be forgiven.”
The young woman said, “Last  night my boyfriend made mad passionate love
to me seven  times..”
The priest thought long and hard and then said, “Squeeze  seven lemons
into a glass and then drink the juice.”
The  young woman asked, “Will this cleanse me of my sins?”
The priest  said, “No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face.” 

                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 A man  was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was
sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, “You’re beautiful.”
Then he fell asleep again. His wife had  never heard him say that
before, so she stayed by his side. A few  minutes later his eyes
fluttered open and he said, “You’re  cute.”
The wife was disappointed because instead of “beautiful,”  it was now “cute.”
She asked, “What happened to  beautiful?”
The man replied, “The drugs are wearing  off.”

                                     *************************
Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for
company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and
asked, “Father, my dog is dead. Could ya’ be saying’ a mass for the poor
creature?”
Father Patrick replied, “I’m afraid not; we cannot  have services for an
animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the  lane, and
there’s no tellin’ what they believe. Maybe they’ll do something for  the
creature.”
Muldoon said, “I’ll go right away  Father. Do ya ‘think a‚ euro 5,000 is
enough to donate to them for  the service?”
Father Patrick exclaimed, “Sweet Mary, Mother of  Jesus! Why didn’t ya
tell me the dog was Catholic?
                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation
ensues: Man: “I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many  children, grandchildren,
and great grandchildren. Yesterday,  I picked up two college girls, hitchhiking. We went to a motel, 
where I had sex with each of them three times.”
Priest:  “Are you sorry for your sins?”
Man: “What sins?”
Priest: “What kind of a Catholic are you?”
Man: “I’m  Jewish.”
Priest: “Why are you telling me all  this?”
Man: “I’m 92 years old …. I’m telling  everybody.”

Symptoms of being over 25

SYMPTOMS OF BEING OVER 25
1. You leave clubs before the end to ‘beat the rush’. (worse still you don’t go to the clubs)
2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing the night before.
3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer and start dreaming of having a son who might instead.
4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section. MyHome.ie and Daft.ie are your favourite websites.
5. All of a sudden, middle aged people are not 46, they are only 46.
6. Before going out anywhere, you ask whether there is anywhere to park.
7. Rather than throw a knackered pair of runners out, you keep them because they’ll be
alright for around the house jobs.
8. You buy T-shirts without anything written on them.
9. When visiting home for the weekend, you head to the local pub/nightclub and are genuinely shocked to see people you can remember being born or have babysat make up half of the pubs/clubs patrons.
10. You worry about your parents’ health.
11. Your parents start to have a life of their own and go on more holidays/social events than you do.
12 . You have more disposable income, but everything you want or need to buy costs between
200 and 500 quid.
13. You actually start to pay off the balance on your credit card as it falls due.
14. You don’t get funny looks when you buy a Disney video as the sales assistant assumes they are for your children. You are buying these things for your friend’s child.
15. Pop music all starts to sound the same and you haven’t a baldy who or what the latest pop sensations or boy bands are.
16. Oxegen is waaay too young. Electric Picnic is the way forward, far less packed and a lot more comfort. Comfort is now important.
15.On a long night out, you opt for Milanos over a quick take away because they do a really nice half-bottle of house red.
16. You always have enough milk and toilet paper in, and your house is always relatively clean and tidy.
17 . To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go clubbing, you instead frequent trendy bars and restaurants in the mistaken belief that you have not turned into your parents.
18 . While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon RTE’s Would You Believe. You get drawn in. You remember being there when events are shown on Reeling Back the Years.
19 . The benefits of a pension scheme become clear. You pay for your own VHI.
20. You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from Woodies .
21 . You wish you had a shed.
22 . You have a shed.
23. You start considering doing stuff because its good for you, like eating healthily and walking places for the sake of walking not just to get from
A to B.
24 . You actually find yourself saying ‘They don’t make ‘em like that anymore’ and ‘I remember when there were only 2 TV channels’ and ‘Not in my day….’
25 . Pat Kenny has some really interesting guests on the Late Late and you consider texting in a comment. ( FYI If you actually do, then you should be ticking the 40-50 age category).
26 . Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus, you tut at rowdy school children.
27. You find yourself having discussions with your friends that when we were young, before all this Celtic Tiger lark we actually appreciated when we were given things from our parents and indeed we worked for what we got….while the young ones these days haven’t a clue. (You really believe this).
28. Going to 21st’s is a distant memory and if you do have to go to one its an irritation, in fact, your social calendar is taken up with 30th’s, Weddings and Christenings.
29 You chose pubs where you can get a “nice seat for the night” over packed loud places.
30. Girls start to see the benefit of bringing a spare pair of flats in their handbag for the end of the night for sore feet. Barefoot walking on the path is now insane!
31 . You find yourself saying ‘is it cold in here or is it just me
32 . You understand the above and forward it to your fellow aging friends.

Keith on mans logic!!

I received a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend this morning who called ‘out-of-the-blue’ to see if I was still around.
We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic times we used to enjoy together. I couldn’t believe it when she asked if I’d be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that ‘old magic’. ‘Wow!’ I was flabbergasted.
‘I don’t know if I could keep pace with you now’, I said, ‘I’m a bit older and a bit grayer and balder than when you last saw me. Plus I don’t really have the energy I used to have.’
She just giggled and said she was sure I would ‘rise to the challenge’
‘Yeah.’ I said. ‘Just so long as you don’t mind a waistline that’s a few inches wider these days! Not to mention my total lack of muscle tone…everything is sagging, my teeth are a bit yellowed and I am developing jowls like a Great Dane!’
She laughed and told me to stop being so silly. She teased me saying that tubby, gray-haired, older men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a great lover. Anyway, she giggled and said, ‘I’ve put on a few pounds myself!’
So I told her to f*ck off!!!!

Online Hair School

I’ve just been browsing the online hair-school website, its a superb idea especially for someone like me..I am not a trained hairdresser but I just love cutting colouring and creating unique hair styles and looks to suit the individual..Funny thing is I have a lot of clients who prefer to take a chance on my creative technique rather than go to a salon and just look like the other billion people with the same hairstyle!!!

This website is perfect for anyone with a flair for hair and of course for any hairstylist to learn new techniques..or of course just keeping up with the latest trends and styles. I find it really inspiring try it you won’t be disappointed!

Evil Kids…

Oh my God I am in shock…After reading a very disturbing article in this mornings paper its scary the amount of evil you see in this world. The article was about a nine year old American girl who planned to murder her School teacher, the plan involved a few other class mates of the same age. In the article they actually show a picture of the bag the children had prepared containing the murder weapon ….a steak knife, a glass paper weight to knock her out, duck tape, gloves, handcuffs and so on.
I still cant believe children of that age would think of committing murder its shocking but true.

Please if anyone has any tips on avoiding injury please let me know!
