Why won't this site allow me to have one font size and font for all my paragraphs. Look at that previous post.
Piece of shit.

Here it is Colm; the funniest thing you'll ever say and no one's around to hear it....
This comment was made in reference to someone loggin into my account to comment on their own page, in my name, saying they were very attractive. Or something to that affect.
"Hey Kevin, remember that time you totally lacked any verification, recognition, credibility and confidence, so much so you logged into my account to give other people that read your page the impression that some preson, in some way had something positive to say about you.
Yeah that, that was pretty funny."
Looks like I was barking up the wrong Bush....

My 4D Experience
The scene was set. The Building works had finished, the refurbished building standing tall, proud. Poetic in its own right, free from its shackles of scaffolding. The words "4D Cinema!" emblazoned across its chest....
It was in fact Irelands only 18 seater 4D cinema. 4D, is the combination of 3D and what is advertised as moving seats. Still enthusiastic, I, we, entered and paid our due, received our 3D glasses and entered the screening room.
There was most definitely 18 seats; big tall yellow ones, two crescent formations of nine. We buckled up. Literally, there were car seat belts on the seats. We were told to hang onto the bars on the sides of our seats for a better ride experience.
Its at this point things go from unknown expectations to shit. The screening started, but the lights never went out, so I was constantly seeing the seats in front of me. Apart from the distraction, this ruined the illusion that I was actually in any way moving, as I could see the seats in front of me motionless. I have had more need for a seat belt in a reclining office chair. The cunning ploy of only tilting the chairs backwards, in order for them resuming their normal positions to equate to forward motion did not humour me at all... A baby kicking the back of your chair on a flight would cause more motion and excitement, and oddly less annoyance.
The glasses were terrible, the fact they fell off constantly didn't seem to matter as they didn't work in the slightest and didn't even fully cover my eyes. The unenthusiastic murmurings of fellow riders became quite distracting, but as they grew into conversations, they became more interesting than the "ride" itself. In fact I began chatting myself, but not to myself.
It was after a minute I realised I was still holding onto the side bars; after letting go, the ride did not dramatically decrease in quality. Liars. Its also worth noting, puffs of are were sprayed into your face, as if to imply speed... it was just cold.
The ride lasted less than three minutes, and cost five euro. And was shit. But the sheer hilarity of sitting in a room with vibrating chairs, music blaring, blurry images in your face, trying to talk to someone made it all worth it, at least for the story to tell...
How tacky the writing on that building is now....
PS
We were meant to be in a race hover car thing in a futuristic hover race, with huge jumps and such. I presume we won.
