What is that? Do people in Tipp always say 'with' instead of 'for' in that spot?
You're the only person I've ever seen or heard do that.
It doesn't fit.Pm for rakeback deals

€500000 on a scratch card
Did ye lads hear of the guy who won half a mill on them € 20 scratch cards
Lucky b
I was gonna buy one to see what they're like
I guess there won't be as much value now the top prize is gone
I'm really intrigued by these €20 scratchers
They seem to be a good idea
I just can't wait for the 1m prize scratcher for €40
That would be something
Anyone else got any good stories bout scratch cards

Sociopathy is not really a modern more PC rendering of psychopathy. It doesn't quite have the same impact to say "Jesus that Lance Armstrong, what a fucking ASPD'er".
And stop standing up for psychopaths. <insert suspicious hippo pic>

If so I wouldn't characterise that as a Dublin thing so much as an uneducated thing. At least that's what I do be thinking.

A lot of us recommended Southland, it's brilliant.

I've been reading more and more into the brewing scandal in the UK regarding abuse rings. Some the stuff being turned up is unreal.
lost dossier, peter hayman, leon brittain, dual public inquiry etc. A certain ever young tennis fan, fond of Xmas songs, might be the next big name implicated from what I'm seeing. The depth of it though is staggering

that meant we were spending €40 total
We went to the shop and decided on the €2 ones
€2 ones meant we'd get 20 altogether
€3 ones wouldn't even divide so it was obv bad idea
We won €14 and got 7 more
We won nothing then so lost €40 net that day
as we were leaving the shopkeeper said
"Hey guys you know what they say, unlucky in scratchcards, lucky in love"
Didn't get the shift for 6 months after
Worst scratchcards ever

Was having a good auld drunken conversation with a friend there before I left for a few days. She was all super jealous and whatnot of me having traveled a bit, as she has only ever been out of Ireland for one week. She was asking me lots of stuff if I had done them or not and a lot of the answers were yes and she was getting angry so I said that there was lots I hadn't done etc, africa/safari stuff/skiing or even on a mountain etc etc, then a lot of common stuff came up..
SPOILER
Never seen the cliffs of moher
Never played a game of tennis,
Never been on a skateboard,
Never learned how to swim(although that hasn't stopped me jumping into the ocean a few times),
never had a steak,
never gone dirt bike riding,
never smoked a normal cigarette,
never seen star wars or lord of the rings,
There were a lot more but can't remember really.. don't really know what I am rambling on about, the jetlag and few cans have taken it's toll but go on there, common stuff you have never done but should have?Go big or go homeless.

Honestly despair at our health service. The level of disorganisation and incompetence is astounding.
My mother had been scheduled to go in for an adrenalectomy last Monday and about 4 weeks ago they rang saying they'd have no bed for her so it had been moved to today. She even had to call yesterday morning to see if a bed was available for her for her op today. She went in last night for an op this morning.
Late last night her consultant arrives and advises the op be delayed as she is unhappy with the level of tests done, they want to be fully sure the tumour isn't functioning because it may affect her blood pressure in the op and they'd be unable to control it.
All that is fair enough, lowering the risk in any open surgery is obviously a good thing but I can't understand why the tests hadn't been done well in advance, or why she has to ring the day before her surgery to see if a bed is available for her or why they can't do the tests now and Op later this week instead of sending her home.
The amount of needless stress this has caused the whole family on top of the stress of the boss having to actually get an op for a tumour.
It really is beyond outrageous. My oul lad is a man possessed, I pity the person who answers the phone to him because I couldn't calm him down.
TLDR: Some poor phone monkey getting ripped a new one by livid Kilkenny man.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

However there is a similarly priced, better phone made by the same company. The LG G2 (which I've bought after looking at the N5). - on offer http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-g...amazon-1948284
There's also another phone in the price bracket (the One Plus One) that is apparently absolutely top notch too, but I have zero first hand info on it. (also apparently you need an invite to buy it!!)
They're the 3 in that price band that you have to decide between.
Or you drop down a price band and the Moto G 4G is the only winner.Last edited by Emmet; 08-07-14, 08:38.
