Absolutely unacceptable.
We need an O'Terminator to hunt down this woman and make her watch them.
Regular Terminator:
AFFIRMATIVE.New, improved, Irish O'Terminator:
TOP OF THE MORNING, LADS.Not a phrase used in Ireland, but it made me laugh.
What’s the best Irish saying that is basically “I’ll be back”/“see you later”
You slap your thighs while getting up from a chair and say 'Well...'
Alternatively, one can say 'Take care', which is my personal favourite.
Very popular in the Midwest US, too. Though it's often "Welp," instead of "Well"
Okie dokie then.
My old boss, a really gruff and serious guy from New York, used to occasionally say "okely solely" and he couldn't figure out why I found it so funny
Right so
G'wan I'm gone
G'luck
So imagine T2 but before he goes into the Lava he says that and then gives a thumbs up
Cunt
NEVER FIGHT UPHILL, ME BOYS!
I was saying yesterday you never hear jokes anymore so here's one:
An Irishman walks into a bar, orders three pints of Guinness, and sits in the corner, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches him and asks, "You know, they'll go flat after a while."
The Irishman replies, "You see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other is in Australia, and since we parted ways, I've not seen either of them. By ordering three beers, I am able to toast them both wherever they are."
The bartender, touched by this gesture, decides not to intervene, and the Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, always ordering three beers and toasting his brothers.
One day, he comes in and orders only two pints. Sensing something amiss, the bartender inquires, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss. Was it your brother from America or your brother from Australia?"
The Irishman replies, "Oh, no, neither of them has died. I've just given up the drink."
So... Boondock Saints, but with androids?
I need your clothes, your boots, and your shillelagh.

THAT'S HER, NOWThe only terminator movies worth watching were made before she was born.
Luckily we have this nifty technology that allows you to watch movies that came out years ago. It's called "time travel".
The best part about time travel is that if it's ever invented then it already has been.
The worst part about it always having been is the astronaut shooting you in the head.
Many versions of fictional time travel that allow backwards travel suggest that the travel cannot happen further back than the initial use of the time machine.
Perhaps my favorite example of this (in terms of narrative, if not logic) is a time machine that is turned on, only to immediately receive a note saying "turn it off RIGHT NOW."
It's also the worst part, every time I think I should invent time travel, I imagine people saying "you invented what? It was always around". No reason to even try.
That's actually what Terminator is going to be about. There was a recent interview with the director, James Cameron, where he mentioned something about time travel. He didn't want to spoil it before it releases though.
I'm excited to see it in theaters when it comes out!
Ever tried to get your kids to watch movies from a few decades ago? They thought star wars was a slog.
They were not wrong
Imagine how cool would be if there was a way to see movies after they were released on cinemas.
There are only two terminator movies worth watching.
Wouldn’t her knowing what she needs to do damage the timeline?
no shit, at least the first 2. my kids 9 and we've seen them all and watch 2 regularly. looks like it was filmed last year it's so good.
Tbf, I would not watch a movie retelling my traumatic experience.
