Broad on fire. Nabbed a little 66/1 on him winning sports personality of the year in the without Murray market. That'll come crashing in overnight imo.

[eamonhonda]

I have Shawn Deeb on my speed dial.

I'm not sure why I haven't been playing. So Denny here is another customer, also KK82 is a very reliable option, Kayroo plays, Zod, Finkel although it's been ages since we duelled. Oh and Chips1234, and he might be a good option as he could be tilting atm.

Id imagine very difficult but commitments to playing out a 4 way game would be class.

For anyone who hasn't seen Toronto mayor Rob Ford discuss his peccadilloes in public and what not the Guardian has a great 90 sec summary of the crazyness:

Getting way too much enjoyment out of Modern Family.

Hello Android 4.4 on the Nexus 7. Eh, what's actually different?

Thanks man,yeah i have an anti virus, is KAT a torrent site ? that brings me to my next question whats the best torrent site for downloading movies ?

I use Vuze as the software and get them via the pirates at Ukbay.org. Read the comments and the rating on them to be safer.

edit: As a repost to some recent propaganda by non-Lebowski watching thought criminals, I have watched 7 episodes of Ray Donovan over the past week and it is not the rubbish which it has been declaimed to be. In full disclosure I have to say that I find looking at Liev Schreiber to be an endlessly fascinating experience. Not least because I keep expecting him to bare giant fangs and slash someone with claws at any moment.

Saw Television in Vicar Street tonight.

Nothing more to say than this...

I personally feel that I gained a few things from my time in poker.

Bankroll management.
Respect for money which I had not had in the past.
The multi tabling ability has got to be helpful for office type jobs on a computer.

You seem to actually be able to manage your money. You are the exception and its impressive but i dunno if poker taught you that. Not sold on it giving you respect for money and also not buying the office job point.

How is your medicine training going? We know all about Bubbleking's and nothing about your experiences.

Maybe a mix of growing up aswell but I do feel I gained some positives. I suppose I saw the life of gambling from the dealing with gamblers at the casino end aswell. Id really hate to ever lose control. I suppose I may have on a few occasions but without doubt that was all drink related and at the time 1 or 2k was not a big deal considering I could win it back handy enough sober.

Just back from try-outs for a tv show. Bolloxed.
Hopefully find out in a week or two. Feeling lucky...

Take 32 or so 9-5 regular Joes.
Bang them into full time 6 month MMA training camp. 6am starts before work etc
People drop out, get cut due to non attendance or injury.
Halfway through the remaining people get split into two teams and matched up.
Those that make it to the end square off in the cage on a proper fight promotion.
The whole process is filmed for Fuel TV.

Series needs an Aussie win first up. I'd have faith in England coming back, zero in this particular group of Aussies.

A guy turns to me today and says;
Old Aussie: "Bloody hell, England are 206 over 7*
Me: "I have no idea what that means"
Old Aussie: "Oh sorry, 206 runs over 7 wickets"
Me: "still do to know what you are saying"
Old Aussie: "Do you like cricket"

Lol cricket and lol Aussies imo

*may not have the score at any point

Excellent name for a TV station.
You'd know even as you press the button for Fuel TV that you are going to presented with a tough manly program, with not as much as a hint of the baking and gardening which blights the normal TV stations.

[ionapaul]

Owned one of these at some point!

The only consoles I've ever owned were the first PlayStation, the Gamecube and the original XBox (for a few days). Am thinking of getting a Wii-U though. Owned a C64 back in the day, but all other gaming has been on various gaming PCs and now occasionally on my Nexus 4/7.

[Zod]

I also rocked an old school Atari 2600. Best controller ever.

Bah ordering from amazon.com and they force you to pay your import fees, I doubt I would have even been hit with the fees at all.

Whats the story with Samsung's 4.3 update making S3's unusable?

Its been a couple of weeks now and I only see MSN complaining here.

Are they planning a rollback a new update or what is going to happen?

I can't even back up the phone via Kies so as to put a cyanogen mod on it.

Is there some other easy way to suck off all the data and get it back on to a new install?

[Strewelpeter]

The Chess has been a great event to follow, the live coverage has been superb both commentary teams were brilliant.

[Keane]

Really getting in to those podcasts now after first Cooker and then Keanes posts. They're just class. 20 min segments on whatever you find interesting. So the walk to the bus suddenly becomes fun. Was hearing about a Russian dude nailing his balls to the ground a few days ago, then some frozen prehistoric guy found in the alps yesterday, today was a Radio 4 sitcom. What a cool way to spend time that you'd otherwise waste.

Huge fan of the Pocket Casts app. Costs a few euro but very nice.

Yeah I had a listen to that episode of the Bugle you were talking about but didn't really do it for me. I'll give the next one a spin again but I might have to ditch it from my overstuffed schedule after that!

What was the one about the prehistoric guy?

I use an app called Downcast on the iphone FWIW, it's pretty good but cost a couple of bucks as well IIRC.

I tried to do that cyanogen mod during the week but seemingly there is an issue with samsung phones, the cyanogen team are working on a fix afaik.

I was able to back up everything on kies first, also backed up my photos in a separate folder just in case, i can do without the rest.

Ignore Kies.

Install clockwork mod, then use titanium mod to make a backup, flash your device (either cyanogen or ParanoidAndroid) and restore everything but the system settings.


Just to point out, I'm using PA3.99 which is 4.3 and love it.

What a cool way to spend time that you'd otherwise waste.

This is what joe rogan uses in his pitch for audible.com but its so true have really started to like audio books + podcasts.

Top recommendation would be Dan Carlins Hardcore History

In "Hardcore History" the very unconventional Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", outside-the-box way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This is a difficult-to-classify show that has a rather sharp edge. It's not for everyone. But the innovative style and approach has made "Dan Carlin's Hardcore History" a New Media hit

[tylerdurden94]

was thinking the same - but then last couple of episodes have been really good. It's like the writers werent ready for everybody in the series growing up. Thankfully - they've copped on

I'd been feeling like that since season 4 and it was just time to cut it.

Only on Season One of Modern Family. Heard it gets worse, all right. But there's a few good seasons anyway?

Think it was midway through season 3 I started to not like it.

[The Situation]

Season 5 is a slight dip in standard but still enough lols to keep watching imo, still far better than the majority of comedy programmes.
