I think she is a fat mess is what he is implying

or her head is made of compressed carbon.

[RichieM]

She's rotund.

massive hole is correct than so

"you sweat alot, even for a fat bird"

That would be quite a challenge. Quite personal tbh.

[DeadParrot]

how about not taking your jacket/scarf/gloves off in the pub/club, that way you can't lose them.

Rigger is a recent student of DeadParrot Funk Fu.
In fairness, he only went to lesson one where you lumber potential assailants down with clothes while using sexy, sexy dancing to show you are not to be messed with.

Lesson 2 involved getting clothes back and moonwalk exits but I am impressed with his ability to improvise and apply techniques to attract ladies.

need a computer wise person to tell me which one to get!

Argos took my laptop 9 weeks ago and avoided 11 calls and 4 emails before I went into the store to be told they completely lost it, giving me new one now. Laptop was 440 and they're gonna give me one worth up to 460, yay! I'll pay extra if there is a very nice one for 500/550 or so

appreciate any advice techy folk

to be used for basics pretty much

I think once Tokyo get the Olympics ahead of Istanbul (vote next June) and Turkey makes it clear that they are available again to do a solo-host of Euro 2020 that todays announcement will be forgotten about.

Logistically complicated event spanning multiple countries where the host cities can't even be finalised until the qualifiers are completed in November 2019?

Or one country offering 7 years in advance to take the whole thing on?

I reckon Turkey would have their hand snapped off if their bid was back on the table next summer.

[mdoug]

I thought of a prop bet idea but it's possible that I have heard it before?

The idea is that for a period of time, the person can only buy things in a particular agreed upon €2 store. Everything they buy. Some of those shops sell some food items like shitty noodles and soft drinks, toiletries and all sorts of sh1te.

So what's the over/under, how long could someone do it for?
I think the food stuff would be the main problem.

inski

Or just walk up and insult them and then try to win them over.
Will report back.

Need ideas for the insult. I am thinking 'you look retarded'.

There's fierce competition I'm sure, but I think I met a candidate for the ultimate slut last night. My mate's girlfriend (herself possibly in contention for a place on the podium, but not quite loose enough to bring home the bacon) came along to the club we were in with her friend.

Her friend spent the first 10 minutes shiting on about her recent wedding and showing us the ring. Then, she walks up to another friend of ours (who to be fair to him had missed all the wedding talk and didn't know she was married) and whispers in his ear 'in the toilets, in two minutes.' Right on cue she trots off to the lads jacks and waits in the cubicle for my mate, who duly followed her in.

bring her along to next ipb night out plz

[ArmaniJeans]

But, Platini.

Hmmmm, just seen they are talking of deciding the host cities by 2014 so you could be right. I thought they'd have to wait til they see who'd qualified.

The host cities are going to be decided in 2014.

I don't mind it too much as a once off, provided it's well-organised and UEFA manage to strike a deal with transport companies to prevent ludicrous air and rail fares.

What would ruin this is if UEFA use it as a chance to 'broaden their football family' and play games in Baku, Minsk and the Gaza strip.

[CHDad]

Chances of Dublin/Cardiff or Dublin/Scotland?

Ironically its the one structure that you can't really broaden the hosts for.
Previously if you hosted you were guaranteed qualification, whereas I assume they aren't going to give auto qualification to 12 countries for 2020.
Why would the likes of say Ireland bid for games as you are staring into a financial abyss if you don't qualify and get landed with Bulgaria v Slovenia games. So realistically only the big 6/7 countries who always qualify could risk bidding for games.

Thats why I thought they'd be waiting until after qualification was finalised before deciding cities ; that would have at least made some sense. But 2014 decision as you said.

[Strewelpeter]

Chances of Dublin/Cardiff or Dublin/Scotland?

One group between the three and at least one 1/4 final must be a near certainty.

Yea but for an Ireland Scotland Wales group you are guaranteed to have at least one local nation to choose from even if it is England.

Generally in international tournaments the smaller countries tend to bring more travelling support due to the novelty factor of playing in a major tournament (like Ireland). So if you're hosting a game between two smaller footballing nations I still think you would fill or nearly fill the Aviva.

Then you have the big countries who may not bring huge numbers but are a big enough draw anyway to bring the locals in (Italy or Spain).

I imagine Ireland will bid and I definitely think they should. Dublin would be a very good host city for a couple of group stage games, sharing the group with one of the other Celtic countries.

Anyone know anything about sat navs? I know nothing about them but thinking about getting my dad one for Christmas. Must have both European and North American maps. Garmin vs TomTom? Which is better? Any recommendations?

indeed it could, has and possibly will again. I actually had a sidebet that I couldn't go up to a girl on the night, say it and then it around by the end of the night. 7th time trying and €50 in the bag

Standalone satnavs are essentially outdated pieces of kit now tbh, plus you have to pay for updates to maps. If he travels a lot and drives when there, just use a smartphone and a local sim card with some data on it.

Just bought a four pack of soap. That's how I roll.

I think I told jacket girl 2 about crazy catalan jacket stealing girl (as she looked similar).
Perhaps the potential irony was just too much to bare for her.

[6starpool]

6 months or a year.

I know there is no chance of this actually happening, but I'd imagine for that period of time it would need to be an amount around 30k or so to make this even close to worth a persons time, and no one would put up that sort of wedge for something like that.

[rounders123]

Just bought a four pack of soap. That's how I roll.

Using soap like a boss, i like it. For me soap loses its lustre a little when the embossed insignia disappears through use. After that you know the bar is beginning to wain and if it had a mind of its own would know it isnt impressing you as much anymore.
And when the outside edge start to take a different paler hue to the centre of the soap the relationship youve built with it is beginning to turn sour. The good thing about a bar is thinking about your next one and what one your going to buy next, hoping you stumble across a good one not that many other people have come across.
I bought a great lemon soap here. Didnt know the significance of it until later as it was written about in Ulysses. The scent and colour held up for longer than i expected but succumbed to the usual issues.
Ballsy though with the 4 pack, thats showing commitment.

This may sound like a silly question, but how do people tend to use their 7 inch tablets? Do they view them as home devices or carry them about? I wouldn't be interested in carrying one around, and if you are only going to use it at home then why use something as small as a 7 inch tablet.

I take mine about with me. When I went to Scotland there I used that rather than taking my laptop with me. it was really handy. I have used it outside the home on many occasions. I also have it beside my bed and would browse online on that rather than my phone.

Fucking Microsoft..

I have two email addresses linked. I do not know/remember the password for one of them.

I went onto my email tonight, had been reading in the one account then was swapping over to the other one when it said it looked like someone is trying to access my account.

Now it asked for my name (gave all 3 as not sure lol) had to provide details of contacts, subject lines of recent emails I sent (???) folders I have set up plus the answer to my security question.

I went through all this and submitted. THEN it tells me details to sort the account will be sent to the alternate email address!! the one I don't know the fucking password too. So that is me locked out my email and have to wait 24 hours before I can do anything.

Waiting on quotes for a few things as well and use my email regular.

And before anyone says.. I have gmail accounts but found it difficult to get people to change over to using my new account and this one tends to be used.

Might have a sneaky opportunity to get to Aintree on Saturday for a mates stag, they're flying out friday with a bunch of lads going Sat morning too. My wife was due that weekend so i didnt think about going but all looking good here at home plus one of the lads heading Sat has had to pull out as his wife is actually throwing him a surprise B'day bash Saturday night. So am I a total Gypo for heading to Liverpool when I have a 14 Day old baby at home? Also I think i'm gonna use the old 'I got my footy bet up tonight love' just to ease it in that i'll be spending non Christmas essential money, does this wash with the wimin?. Plus how much does it cost to switch names on a flight?
