    It took me a while to be able to get that track onto my iPod, It's not available on iTunes, Strewel, Keano and others have been bigging up Spotify, I just want to see if that track is readily available there, as an example.

    I'll move to Spotify if it is, as surely I'll be able to find whatever I want and not be limited by iTunes.

    I want to pay for music.

      I think Spotify is free to your PC, just have to listen to occasional ads. I pay for a tenner per month to have it on my phone. Well worth it IMO. Very little thats not on it.

                Another one of our goldfish went to that big smelly pond in the sky this morning.

                RIP

                Only one left now.

                Serious Q, should I get him a companion seeing as he's been with the other two over six years, or is he fine on his own?

                Solitary confinement right now, doubt I'd like it, would he?

                      Here's another fantastic Pilooski remix, this is the sort of tune that would've been well at home in The System, South Anne St, amazing memories of those weekends.....

                      Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

                                Seems to be just the original version of the song on it. Sure just download Spotify yourself and check it out for free anyway. Would only take two minutes.

                                    So can anyone tell me off hand why there was 392 users online at 18-01-12, 17:08.
                                    Just wondering what was so special that day or if it was just a lot of bots or stuff, 392 seems very high for here

                                      Its cheap and dishonest, and frankly beneath you.
                                      I rarely report posts, but I've made an exception here.

                                      You know what, you're right. I hadn't thought about it that way but now that you say it; it's all so clear. Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways and you can be sure I won't transgress is such a fashion again.

                                      Of course with your analytical skills and the way you can instantly read and judge a situation it's a real waste that you're not putting your talents to real use.

                                      One such way would be to sign up to the fantasy football league through the link in my signature, and prove your prowess on a weekly basis. Of course it would then be incumbent on others to sign up and prove you wrong, so it's win win really.

                                      Bank holiday Sundays are awfully boring, just waiting to either go to family or have them arrive for dinner etc. liven it up by starting to build your fantasy team, it'll be more frustrating than listening to that old story, again, and again

                                        I'm well aware I can download any artists entire back catalogue in a few minutes for free.

                                        That's boring to me.

                                        Discovering stuff slowly and savouring it is what does it for me. I spend about ten or twenty euro a month so it's pretty much unnoticeable.

                                        Plus, I like the idea of supporting an artist, whether the bulk of my 99c goes to a record company or not.
                                        I bet you do that tantric riding stuff too. What a lucky hot wife you have.

                                          Feck ye anyway, had to go rummaging in the bbv from around that time, can't figure it out.

                                            Losing money at poker is good for you.

                                            The last 2 times I popped in to play live cash over the past week or two I dropped a monkey each time. Tonight I just booked tickets for my first ever English Premier League match.

                                            70-odd quid for a ticket is steep from one perspective, but from another I made river calls for that amount that the whole table, including myself, cracked up laughing at they were so bad / optimistic. It made it seem really cheap.

                                            The €116 in flights is but the money I spent calling to the river with a ridiculously tight player with AA due to wanting to crack him because I didn't like his head. The return train ticket to the ground is merely the straddles I paid for other players who were too tight to straddle.

                                            I would like to thank my negative variance for the gift of perspective.

                                            Now if only I weren't a bloody Spurs fan.

                                              Which game are you heading to? Reckon you'll get to see Bale before he goes?

                                              I saw him play once and was shouting at his poor defending and he did shit and Gomez got a concussion because of it - was damn funny

I personally would hate to deal with the spurs boss just saying ah nahhh 85 not enough 100 is a nice round figure so who knows. Swansea game should be a cracker though. If you're flying the day before you should try and catch the Fulham Arsenal game or the day after you can watch Chelsea getting whooped on the tv. Gotta love a football weekend away

                                                            No. You start a Euro's syndicate thread

                                                            I am willing to grind up a euro's syndicate thread with a telly bingo thread. You and I co-create a thread and with all of the monies we get we buy telly bingo tickets, then we play telly bingo and we can stream it for our investors. Obvious .1% mark-up is necessary. We must mark all numbers, no going up and checking tickets - we can rewatch the show though

                                                            edit: return flights to new orleans for next years mardi gras is only €638 tax included.. I'll book it tonight if you're up for it

                                                                    "Once the Snowball prize is won, the Snowball number reverts to 45 and the Snowball prize is reset at €10,000.
                                                                    If there is no Snowball winner the Snowball number will be increased by one number on the next TellyBingo show and €5,000 will be added to the Snowball prize."

                                                                    So there is currently only 45 balls(46 tuesday) available to win the 10k(and only 10k now), I want to optimise our win potential by having at least 52 balls for the snowball. Will keep my eye on this and put up the thread at the right time.. but you start lining up investors - study up on the "“Phone Risk” Card Number Game" and people will be begging to get in on the action.

                                                                    I really need to get a life

Myself and another guy- Niall - were out working in a different area that week. There was a meeting scheduled for later in the day that someone representing each area had to go to with any questions from the people in that area. The guy representing this place was a very serious german called Patrick. We barely knew the guy tbh. There was 8 or 9 of us standing around in a circle and Patrick was taking questions from people and writing them down. He gets as far as Niall.

                                                                          Patrick - Niall, any questions.
                                                                          Niall - Ummm...Would you rather have a penis on your forehead or no penis at all?

                                                                          Patrick stared at him for 10 or 15 seconds like he was making sure he hadn't misheard or lost something in translation and then just said ok anybody any more questions?. Nobody laughed or anything. Inside I was almost crying with laughter

Two car loads of people pull up on the road about 2-300 yards from where we were. They all get out and stand in a group with one guy talking to the rest. Then a woman and a kid aged 7 or 8 walk down to where myself and the auld lad are. Lovely day for the bog the woman says. We agree. We're after driving up from Cork she says. Then she pulls out some newsletter and starts going on about Timothy and the end of days. Feckin Jehovah Witnesses - in the bog!

I gave her kitchen paper and told her scoop it up and bring it into me . wasnt in good shape, broken wing etc. So put it in a shoe box with a towel and rang the vet ( this is my second time rescuing birds) vet was closed but gave me number for animal rescue centre, phone off. So Mia suggested taking it to pet world ( good thinking!!!) as they would have worms to feed it ( had no interest in the bit of banana I gave it ) lol. dropped it anyway and spoke to a nice chap there who said it didnt look good but he would try and get some food into it . So hopefully will be grand. We will call back on monday

Mrs Duke came home from work, killed it and threw it over the back wall. Told the kids it flew off.

They tour a bit with regular annual gigs at some of the folk festivals and they do some gigs on the folk club circuit.
                                                                                                                  Last year they played at the Proms in the Albert Hall where they were a part of an evening of folk that the Northumberland piper Kathryn Tickell organised. They were sensational on the night, unfortunately the only track on You Tube doesn't really capture how well they went down. Arising out of that gig early this year they got a call asking them would they be interested in working with Sting on a new album he's working on of songs about Newcastle and the shipyards. They ended up spending months working with him and are going to be featured on 6 of the tracks on the album, his first in ten years. He has developed the project into a theatre piece that is opening on Broadway in September and all the lads and their families are on the payroll for another couple of months living an all expenses paid 5* Manhattan lifestyle. I doubt that even successful run on Broadway and the whole of Sting's bankroll will be able to cover the drinks bill these lads would be capable of running up

He was saying its amazing the way doors open when you an organisation like Sting's behind you, they were getting working visas for the US and at least one of them had long standing legal issues that were automatically preventing him getting in - just a blank GTFO from the embassy; one phone call and twenty minutes later the visa was issued.

It's not even a big deal he did what he had to do simple as! Aside from that it was one of the best performances I've seen from an individual in Croke park

                                                                                                                      I can understand how having a player of the stature and ability of Cavanagh doing something so cynical would tip him over the edge on a subject that we are all weary of discussing / being disgusted with.
                                                                                                                      Zuubro was on the radio this morning pimping his blog post where his take on it is that the attitude of win at all costs even if you break the rules and peoples hearts stands as a fair reflection of how we operate as a society.
                                                                                                                      I think FintanTool's column ten thing things you won't go to jail for in Ireland sums it all up perfectly... Why bother playing by the rules when the punishment is irrelevant.

                                                                                                                      As regards the argument in sport it is utterly pointless in a game with rules as terribly badly written and implemented as Gaelic Football, a game that is inherently little more than systematic faction fighting.
                                                                                                                      The discussion we had recently here about cricket was much more interesting where the phrase that the rules must be followed in line with the spirit of the game and they have since tried, and it seems in the main failed, to codify what 'the spirit of the game' means.

I don't understand what it achieves? This game is like watching a junior match after yesterday's games
