"She hates me" cant remember who sang it. Be some laugh just for a few mins in the right crowd.

[pokerhand]

Yep, 5 weeks yesterday. Original plan was for next summer but odd years are better cause no major international sporting events.

Apart from Lion tour to australia. 1st test is 22nd June, oops.

Puddle of Mudd iirc.

Puddle of Mudd iirc.

Thats right. Just play like 5-10 seconds of it for reaction.

God help if any woman agrees to marry me (unlikely) I wont be able to take the day seriously.

[Guest]

Puddle of Mudd are quality, definitely their best song, could be a wedding song who knows!!

Place beyond the pines was pretty dull.

Does anyone know a place i could get 50 year old films developed?

Check out John Gunn on Camden Street they're very good and if they cant do it they should be able to direct you to somewhere that can, located facing Whelan's.

[Downtown]

Hopefully Wilkinson and O Driscoll end the summer with Lions series win. I imagine Wilkinson will fly out if someone goes down?

[hotspur]

That's what I said.

That was duly noted, as was Smoothcall's sage assessment of it.
I need to start keeping an Excel sheet documenting IPBers whose judgement can be trusted across different categories and an overall score based on weighted categories. Kind of like a Rotten Tomatoes of IPBers (not actually at all like it, but it sounds funny).

Your les mis review must be regurgitated!

Delighted with the win, not much on speeches so I'd just like to thank AJ for organising it, deadparrot, kev, whiteknight, and Flushdraw, my parents, the academy, god and Johnny Logan.

[MrsFlushdraw]

Actually, don't know how I didn't consult bbv on this before...I'm having serious issues with the 'first dance' song selection. A ridiculous concept to me, but seemingly it has to be done. Most of the obvious choices are exceptionally terrible so I'm trying to come up with something awesome that also makes light of the concept....Talk to me.

Is there no song at all that has a meaning for both of you? We chose Luan Parle "ghost" as it was very meaningful to us both from early on when we met. I was desperate to get it over with too. Everyone watching you try to dance. It does go fast though!

June 21st. The longest fucking day

Haha what a pair of plonkers. You should have gone for the 21st of December which is the Shortest day but the longest NIGHT

I assume most will opt for Bale

But surely with it being Sir Alex last game those who have RVP would be wise to captain him, expect a bit of a show

Brilliant precis of the new book by the great Dan Dennet in the Observer today

Daniel Dennett's seven tools for thinking

6 DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON RUBBISH

Sturgeon's law is usually expressed thus: 90% of everything is crap. So 90% of experiments in molecular biology, 90% of poetry, 90% of philosophy books, 90% of peer-reviewed articles in mathematics – and so forth – is crap. Is that true? Well, maybe it's an exaggeration, but let's agree that there is a lot of mediocre work done in every field. (Some curmudgeons say it's more like 99%, but let's not get into that game.)

A good moral to draw from this observation is that when you want to criticise a field, a genre, a discipline, an art form …don't waste your time and ours hooting at the crap! Go after the good stuff or leave it alone. This advice is often ignored by ideologues intent on destroying the reputation of analytic philosophy, sociology, cultural anthropology, macroeconomics, plastic surgery, improvisational theatre, television sitcoms, philosophical theology, massage therapy, you name it.

Let's stipulate at the outset that there is a great deal of deplorable, second-rate stuff out there, of all sorts. Now, in order not to waste your time and try our patience, make sure you concentrate on the best stuff you can find, the flagship examples extolled by the leaders of the field, the prize-winning entries, not the dregs. Notice that this is closely related to Rapoport's rules: unless you are a comedian whose main purpose is to make people laugh at ludicrous buffoonery, spare us the caricature.

Decided after my last 2-3weeks home from college, it's about time to rejoin the gym. My brother made the horrible decision to sign up to Energise Fitness for a year, he then broke his ankle 2 weeks later, so gym membership lying idle for 5 months now.
I rang yesterday to change the name on the account to mine and of course they want a 25e administration fee, it's not enough that they're ridiculously overpriced as is. I already disliked the place but now I really hate them.

The Zoo if he hasn't been there recently and you'll be a hero to him and the parents. You also get to walk around slowly which will clear the head without much effort.

Do gyms not normally have some clause that you can freeze a membership due to injury?

[Guest]

Yeah I think the freeze with them is like 2-3 months and then it continues from there.
Horrendous decision by him in the first place, signs up for a year haven't never gone to a gym before. Would never have went either way, ankle was a decent excuse.

[Hectorjelly]

just say you are him, how are they going to know?

[Zod]

denny, have you considered nap time?

[Guest]

They have his pic I presume and I'm pretty sure Energise have a finger print scanner in some places now, not sure about Newbridge.

Civics have gotten progressively boring looking over the years.

They were once a really cool sporty car. It's like the same designer has been working on them from the start and the designs reflect his getting old and boring.

I believe they consciously changed their design when they were pretty much labled as the top boy racer car for a nice few years

[Zod]

Lovely sunny afternoon, perfect weatehr to drink alcohol and watch Charles Manson documentaries.

[Lazare]

Why would they be bothered by that? Brand image? Big mistake imo, in the nineties civics were everywhere, thin on the ground now.

That civic coupe from the mid nineties was a beautiful machine.

Now that I think of it, they've completely changed their image.

The Civic, Prelude and Integra were beasts of machines, even the older Accord was sporty.

Honda are just like Toyota now. Dull.

[eamonhonda]

I'm not stating facts but I remember reading they wanted to move away from the sporty boy racer. Doubt it was best move for.them sales wise

[Zod]

ah, it all makes sense.

I dont care about the design as such just wondering about the hibrid part and how realible a car they are etc
