                  Not sure if it's available yet, but the LG G3 looks fantastic. Other than that Nexus 5 or HTC One M8. If budget is a consideration, Nexus 5 wins. Samsung's just don't appeal to me personally, both for their bloatware and for their bland design that hasn't changed in years.

                      In my experience, SIPTU are as much afraid of strike action as management are, probably from the point of view of their own finances.

                        None of this is a big surprise... and then you read something like http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanva...a-billionaire/ which just makes it all make more sense.
                        May you live in interesting times!

                          I bought the LG G2 6 weeks ago. It's a cracking phone. And available sim free for less than €350.
                          We’re pitting the newly outed HTC One (M8) against the formidable LG G2. We know that there’s a significant difference between the two, as one is the regarded as a last-generation model – while the other is a part of the current crop. Naturally, there are going to be some advantages with the newer HTC One M8 (think hardware), but that doesn’t mean that the LG G2 can’t stand its ground and give it a good run for its money...

                          Far superior battery life than the Nexus 5 was what swung it for me. The G3 isn't that much of an upgrade imo (certainly not in terms of relative pricing).

                          Last in the charger at 07:10 and I'm at 35% now given a standard day of whatsapp / browsing etc.

                            You can post a picture here and then I'll have seen her? Seems like the way to get full advice from the BBV imo...

                                Bizarre last 2 mins of Mad Men. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it's a fantastic show. Pain in the ass that I've to wait another 10 months for the second half of the last season. AMC have a lot to answer for with this split half season crap.

                                  Yep, no real complaints about it. The sound settings are a little off though imo. It needs an extra sound setting between mute and the lowest setting. It's not exactly quiet. The ringtone volume tends to affect the volume of some games too (just notice it when i have Bike Race on mute and then if i change my ringer volume, that volume on the game goes up)

                                    Falcao to miss WC with injury shortly after I pick F in alphabet WC top goalscorer sweep. Coincidence I think not.

                                    (not that he had a chance!)

                                      My buddy who put me in for my new job is some client altogether, indeed all the locals seem to be. Earlier today he offered me a lift in tomorrow for my first day at 7.25am, which was quite sound as my driving licence still hasn't arrived in the post. Pain in the hole looking at my car and not being able to drive it yet.

                                      Headed to the local this evening for a couple minerals and some pool as c'ship is coming up as well keeping fresh for tomorrow. Of course my buddy is there completely bladdered and talking pure excrement. Another friend is there molesting a short stool while dancing on the table belting out suspicious minds. This is the chap I bought my car from last week - actually works for the same company too as it happens. My hurling coach (stool guy's brother) is in there scuttered and singing away to his hearts content. He almost missed our game today as he was boozing all yesterday and predominately unconscious today.

                                      Irish people, reasonable weather and bank holiday weekends are a dangerous mix imo. Nothing to do with the gargle obviously. Feel like such a dry shite now

                                        The wife figured out that you can exchange the Tesco vouchers for other vouchers at better mark-up, so she uses €40 worth to get €90 TGI Friday ones (or similar).

                                        Away we go today to TGIs in Dumdum with the 3 ankle biters and order our food.

                                        Im not one to complain, but they fucked up 3 out of the five dishes, (eg my steak arrived with two portions of onions instead of 1 onions and 1 chips). So I call over the waiter who probably left school before the Inter and we go through it. The upshot is a manager girl comes over and in fairness can't be helpful enough and everything is sorted right away.

                                        So I call for the bill and the wife is rummaging around looking for the vouchers when the manager arrives with it and tells us again how sorry she is etc and that she has knocked off the cost of the kids drinks and two of their meals.

                                        Upshot, still have the vouchers.

                                              The thought of going back to live in rural or smalltown Ireland sends shivers down my spine. Thankfully it's a very unlikely thing to happen any time soon.

                                                We did something similar with myself, MrsF and the 3 kids taking a spin out for a 3 course meal and a game of bowling each for the princely sum of £18. They made a mistake on our bill somehow and despite me telling them that it was wrong, they insisted it was right. Tempura chicken to start, the nicest baked salmon i've ever had for main, and white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake to finish. No complaints whatsover with the food or the service. Looking so close to the North is the fucking nuts for going out for food etc

                                                          took a little at 40/1 on PP when he was 25/1 everywhere else. I think the word at the time was 'it looked likely he'd make the World Cup', so got excited and just punted. Regretted it after as there was never really a point where he looked likely to be 100% for the start of the group games. So nice to see my pre-mature puntalation won't go punished.

One particularly impressive scam is that they hand you a baby and then whilst you're holding it they openly pick your pockets as both of your hands are taken with the baby. What do you even do in that event? You can't drop the baby, as much as you'd be tempted to.
