Random collection of crap from my brain that isn't long enough to warrant it's own posts.

The Spaniard's are coming!
Every summer Ireland is subjected to a Spanish invasion, they send over there teens to learn the Englis language. It is a living nightmare! Swarms of these kids fill every available space. Walking home i noticed a large group taking up the entire path, wouldn't be such a problem if a green wasn't directly beside them, two steps away. They walked on the busy road with out looking and even at one point forcing an older gent with a cane to walk on the road, a car stopped specifically to let him pass. Disgusting behaviour. On public transport i had two teen boys fighting on the seat right beside me. Where are the manners? Do Irish kids act the same when they go abroad without their parents? We used to take in students from around the world, and by far the Spanish kids were the most spoiled, one practically wanted my mother to put his clothes out for him. We had a German girl and an American girl and they were fantastic, is it just that these kids are a little spoiled and self entitled? Just as a clarification i generally have no problem with the Spanish, just their unruly kids.

Power Cuts.
So recently we had a night where the power kept going out, and apart from the horrible realisation that i am so completely reliant on technology it got me thinking.
What are your power cut stories?
I can remember making toast with the neighbour kids, over an open fire and my Mum making beans on top of the portable gas hob. Laughing so hard at a friend who thought we could turn on a lava lamp as a source of light.
My Mum asking if she presses the off button on the tv remote, will it turn the tv off when the power comes back.

Romantic interactions in friend groups.
This is a pretty common occurrence, right? Multiple friends who seem to always hook up with each other.
I've found if you're single and a female it's like it's open season, now is that as they actually like you or because you're there? Do you go for it, and why? Because you like them or because they're there also?
Then there's the awkward moment when one likes another but the other feels different, that ones seem to be very prevalent, much more so than the halcyon days of yore when it was a big aul game of swapsies.
So if both people are on board to give it a go, is it worth the risk? Do you risk losing friends in the break up and possibly the friendship you had with your would be lover?And then the drama filled hook ups, that seems to turn the whole group against one ore both people. What do you guys think? Please feel free to comment!

More later
