Im off skiing on Saturday try not be mad

Really surprised people are still allowed to ski, would of taught the H&S nazi's would have put a stop to that, i mean heading down hill on a slippery surface standing on timber with no Hi-Viz. that's just crazy!!

[Bubbleking]

Was going to say "BAN"

But no, the staff should fill the site with high interest bubbleking tosh to keep him in his chalet key bludgeoning for the entirety of his holiday!

did you enjoy the skiing?

No; didn't have time, was too busy winning a 8 hour argument about which gun is best to use to kill the bad fella on the last level of the generic shooting game I like this week

I will start:
ROG should be declared King of Ireland and Robbie should be made his Queen!

ROG is the king and as much as it annoys Leinster heads Sexton in his prime will not be as good as ROG in his prime
Robbie Keane is terribad. Was good at one time so was willing to put up with his BS but that day has long since passed

Hi Folks,

I need some info on Apple TV. My GF wants to get it later.

Does it come with a HDMI cable? If not where would I get one and is there different standards/prices?

It is mainly going to be used for Netflix and youtube really....

Thanks for any help.....

it probably does come with a hdmi cable, but if you have to buy one be more conerned with the lenght rather than the price tag. Monster cables are hurrendously overpriced, cheap chinese cables do the job just as well.

it's a digital connection, if it works it works there is no BETTER working.
if you spend > 20 you are being ripped off. You can get them for 1-5 euro if you look around and for cents online

Hobbit scr looks perfect, that will do for the afternoon

Anyone watched 'Hatfields and McCoys' mini series? Is it worth downloading?

yes there are different standards and prices, no there is no actual difference in the product.
a €2 hdmi is = €100 hdmi.
aldi iifc (maybe lidl) are selling a box of 2x2meter hdmi cables for €9 if they still have them. (aldi long mile road had 5 on sunday) can get them on amazon for around a euro each but have to pay p+p

I'll have that.

I was a perfect 12 years old when I last saw it, hope I enjoy it as much now.

So far so good.

[Micknail]

Since 5am baby-minding. We've already seen an Olsen Sisters movie. Sad state of affairs where that is the only thing on the tv

Thought that said baby-making for a second, was about to internet high 5 you.
Alas, it was not to be.

Sleepless in Seattle now. Will I watch it? Will I cry?
It's either going to be yes/yes or no/no.

Finally got up onto the mountain yesterday, only 30min drive. Legs are in bits but some hangover cure.

12m is a fair whack of change but hopefully he's not the greedy prima donna he seems

[ionapaul]

Had a seriously productive day yesterday - visited future in-laws for nice New Year's Day lunch, got my 2012 tax affairs in order and requested a P21 Balancing Statement via PAYE Anytime, set the wheels in motion for a dentist's appointment next week, applied for a new bank account (joint account, eek!) online AND got half of a 750-piece jigsaw done - well, there were two of us doing the jigsaw Going to have a very busy January and it feels like I've made an excellent start.

Tell us more about the anti-homosexual institute you set up.

I'm setting up an institute.

This took me far longer than it should of to get.

Good player. Be prepared to be very frustrated though, won't use his right foot.

A good run in the first team and he will prove his worth.

[shortstack]

For a short run from one product to another you won't see much, if any, difference between a cheap and an expensive cable. Start to go above 3m or so and the difference is much more apparent especially on a bigger TV. Start using semi-professional equipment like video switchers and cheap cables may not work at all.

Just because the signal is digital does not mean all cables are the same. Over distance some of the 1's and 0's get lost in cheaper versions resulting in lower picture quality or in some cases no picture at all.

TLDR: Cheap short HDMI cables are fine more most home use

I believe he took a healthy pay-cut to join us. I think he could do well.

A greedy striker is exactly what Liverpool need right now. The team make far too many sideways passes and speculative shots due to the lack of a dedicated centre-forward. I would have preferred Darren Bent myself, but this is still a very good signing.

Some early BBVing tonight.

Chelsea -2
Liverpool
Celtic

If anyone wants to win money tonight do the opposite of what I did.

Celtic game was at 3pm so thats your BBVing right there, bet is void unless you did it before 3pm!

And Celtic won 1-0 thanks to Super Hoooooper :-)

Perfect? Mine is covered in fuzzed out water marks and a little dark. Good for what it is though.

I did and didn't know it was an early kick off. Thought it was at 7.45. One down I suppose

Motherwell player dives for a penalty. Ball placed nowhere near the penalty spot.
Fraizer Forster points this out and gets booked.

Then saves the penalty.

Someone cheer me up, feel rough as fuck today.

That's a couple of shocking decisions!

pretty much the trend the entire match.

I'm finding it a bit more manageable to think of it as 10 weeks to the next BH weekend. Only a bit mind

[ghostface]

I just flicked thru it. Yeah fuzzy watermarks are evident, more prominent in some parts but doesn't bother me. Bout 90 mins in, decent but too LOTRingsy for me if that makes sense. Seems to be other bits and pieces from other books thrown in too to provide a link to LOTR

[carlop]

Chelsea -2
Under 2.5 goals in Liverpool-Sunderland
Everton to win

Just for general interest more than any great insight or research. What I'm really praying for though is Mata not to start tonight. The man has pretty much played an average of 2 games a week for about 2 years now, surely Rafa will give his countryman the night off?

[oleras]

i would be more concerned about the chelski -2...

Only over 3+ meters, that's usually substantial for a home system. if not them youll have to move your tv closer to your player.

I learned all i needed to know here: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7...-are-the-same/

[MegaSin]

They lost 3-0 to liverpool at home. So by my math Chelsea should beat em at Stamford bridge 15-0.

Also sitting on 75 point this week in FF before Suarez plays. : )

Yes but in 72 days time it will be socially ok to be pissed out of your head on a Sunday night!!

[hotspur]

The real problem is that it's a bit too Hobbitsy. Bilbo can fcuk off back to The Office. More LOTR backstory imo.

[Lord Sir Banter]

Any suggestion as to where? Can't say I feel in the mood.
Any ideas on what I should do with my life?
Is sturridge any use?

[Flushdraw]

Is 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' 2011 any use? Is it a sequel to something that needs to be watched first?

[CHDad]

Any suggestion as to where? Can't say I feel in the mood. No Idea, I am not familiar with your townie land
Any ideas on what I should do with my life?Nope, should probably not be thinking about that stuff now, relax.
Is sturridge any use?Decent, run of games and he will do well.

Also. Playing the D1 the last night. Someone broke a rule when I was in the hand. I very calmly asked him not to do it and the way he reacted you'd swear I pissed on his kids or something. People be crazy when playing poker.

[MegaSin]

Very decent. Bit hard to watch in places but overall you'll enjoy it. First in the trilogy I think. Although the hipster in me rather watch the original as Noomi rapeface is much better. All imo of course.

[TheDrunkenOne]

being a good boy and was doing hoovering when wife working when i caught lead around christmas tree and pulled it over...
never getting it back to 'wife standard' so I decided to save wife work and take it and decorations down..

It seems i have condemned us to a year of hell as it was too early

Obv not happy and as i was too busy taking down decorations to prepare a decent meal I told her it was pizza night tonight to which i managed to get no response and therefore find myself in shed writing this, having a smoke and generally hating 2013

Meh. I just really don't like Daniel Craig.

Also Zod is a cunt. Looking back over texts in my phone from new years and sent out a mass Happy new years text, never got one back from him?

Common courtesy surely requires him to send something back.

Mass New Years texts can go fuck themselves imo. If i don't get a personal one, i rarely reply back. I got a 'Happy New Year to you and yours' from my sister ffs

Thanks Chadley, I feel a bit better already.
