Read my face, do i want sex?
April 10, 2008
Ground breaking study has taken place to link the body language your face gives off and your need for sex. Scuse me a second. DUH!
According the the study by looking at the above photo. .
The face on the right is of someone likely to be interested in a short-term sexual relationship while the one on the left is looking for commitment
Personally i can’t see a pox bit of difference only maybe the fact that the guy on the left needs to shave his forehead!
All the subtlety of a well-prepared chat-up line can be ruined by a man’s face, which speaks louder than any words to reveal his sexual intentions.
A woman can tell at a glance if the man approaching to woo her is merely after her body or wants a more meaningful relationship, a study indicates.
One look at the hopeful man’s face can be enough to provide her with all the clues she needs to decide if marriage or a one-night stand is the most likely end result. Clues to the man’s intentions include the shape of his jaw, the size of his nose and the shape of his eyes, researchers have found.
Are we giving women a bit too much credit here? I mean i know they claim to know everything BUT they can really sniff out if the beer drenched shirt sweating obese man in Club M on a Saturday night is marriage material just looking for a knee jerker? Let me put this one to bedladies, any bloke be it him or the square jawed Hasselhof lookalike (ya’ll <3 the Hoff baby, don’t deny it!!) stumbling over to you in the wee hours of a Sunday morning, ISN’T LOOKING FOR MARRIAGE.
Which one of these Ben’s would prefer sex ??
EVERY TIME!
PS. 10 points to the person who can spot the difference between the two photos!
Boating on the Shannon
April 8, 2008
I have returned in one piece from a weekend away boating on the Shannon. We decided to go away for the weekend for Mrs Ben’s birthday so 6 of us booked a cruiser from Emerald Star in Carrick On Shannon.
Very reasonably priced with an over all price of 800 euro (ish) split 6 ways which for the type of holiday I felt was great value. We certainly were not disappointed with the cruiser itself, it was a An Elegance 43 foot boat with 3 cabins, all ensuite with a large living room space with very reasonable kitchenette (I’ve seen smaller in people’s apartments!) and lounging area on the top of the boat.
After receiving our 15 minute instruction on how to operate the boat we were foot loose and fancy free, cue opening of beers and this pretty much summed up the weekend. The beauty of boating is that the constant change of scenary and if you don’t like a particular place you just hoist up the ropes and away you go!
We stopped in some nice villages with really nice Irish Pubs, Drumsna being our first port of call, a small Leitrim village with 2 small pubs, the kind of pubs that you make your own craic and where people look at you funny when you walk in and will eyeball you for a good hour before they realise that you’re not here to rob their jobs or their women.
The boating itself was seemless and you wouldn’t realise you were on a boat at all. It was as comfortable as a hotel with heating , microwave and telly. The cabins were spacious and once you grasped the toilet / shower which was more than adequte you had it mastered!
On the last night we stopped off in a village north of Carrick called Cootehall. This town which is essentially a church and two pubs has been heavily developed with new housing estates that are unoccupied. We headed up to the local pub to see what mischief we could raise and were caught in a complete snow blizzard. When we entered the pub which was populated by the owner and two locals and made our way to the back of the pub the owner’s face lit up and he went through and started setting up the fire to be lit. We stayed drinking here until the owner turned off most of the lights and just headed up stairs and wished us a good night!
We made our way back to the boat and there was about 3 inches of snow covering everything. We got back on the boat and had a night cap and then decided it was no better time than this to make a snowman!
We headed back to Carrick On Shannon and left the boat off and headed home after thoroughly enjoying the weekend. I would definitely do this type of holiday again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Awake
April 8, 2008
Went to see the movie Awake tonight, mostly because nothing looked overly impressive in the cinema and Mrs Ben was on my case about going the flicks, it’s a popcorn thing! I was pleasantly suprised by this movie, not only because i had no idea Jessican Alba was in it but it was quite a good thriller!
The story is about a man who undergoes a heart transplant operation and experiences anesthetic awareness, basically he’s paralysed but can feel and hear everything going on around him. What follows are a few decent storyline twists but a well scripted and put together story.
Anyone who is squeemish or has had any kind of operation and feels weird about anesthetic to maybe avoid this one, but if scenes of open chest operations are your thing, spend the few bucks and see this one!

Wear Google Maps

Isn’t it funny what passes for Art these days? One man’s Picasso is another man’s etch-a-sketch. This would be cool if it came in greater detail for towns in cities, then you could put a mark on it where you live, so when you head out on the complete batter there would be no excuse for the taxi man (i guess i should say taxi person now huh) leaving you miles from home on a Sunday morning.
“Oh did you say Swords? I thought you said Rathmines, funny that!!!”
Almost the perfect crime!
April 2, 2008
Your out of town on business, enjoying a city break when your home is ransacked and some certain valuable items are stolen, say a few horse saddles? How would you think the culprit would avoid detection at the scene?
- Wear gloves?
- Ski Mask?
- Post an internet classified advert asking other people to ransack the place?
BING CORRECT ANSWER!!
Brandon and Amber Herbert were nabbed last night for allegedly posting the March 22 Craigslist ad, which claimed that the Jacksonville ranch’s owner had to leave town so suddenly that his belongings–which included a horse–were available for the taking. The Herberts, investigators charge, did this to cover up their prior theft of several saddles and other items from the garage of the rural southern Oregon house, which is owned by contractor Robert Salisbury.
You have to stop and admire they way some people think sometimes. What brilliance! If it hadn’t been for the muppets posting the advert from a home computer with a completely traceable IP address this would even have left Columbo scratching his head. .
