I went to a terrific film today A Hijacking . I'm a philistine when it comes to noticing any technical aspects of a film unless they are so outstandingly good that I have to notice them, but the direction in this is wonderful - every shot seems perfect for the atmosphere.

It's only on in the IFI and the Lighthouse, but I very highly recommend it.

Kennedy - Navy
Eisenhower - Army
Truman - ?
Ford -Army
Bush Jr - National Guard (Marine Reserve)
Bush Snr - ????

I assume Nixon was but really not sure

Truman - Army
Nixon - Navy
Johnson - technically no but did get himself sent to Papau New Guinea in some kind of officer role and nearly got killed during a fighter battle. MacArthur gave him a Silver Star for it!
Carter - Navy

Bush Snr - Air Force although possibly the air arm of the navy. Also CIA obv

FDR - Undersecretary of the Navy which is close enough

is this going to be something that will make me smack myself in the face?

[SatNav]

LOL wtf???

[Foxy]

I recall something about an America president who just inserted a letter in between their first and last name to have a more distinguished name. I'm probably mistaken though, very blurry recollection though and I may be thinking of something else.

Harry Truman's middle name was the letter S. He had two relatives, Shipp and Solomon, and they didn't want to pick one so they just called him Harry S Truman

how many US presidents since and including FDR have served in the military? Extra points for naming the branch of the forces

All of them!

Commander in chief and all that

Isn't that where the Homer J Simpson gag comes from?

Hi middle name was actually Jay.

surely milk has made pasteurisation and homogenisation fairly common knowledge? The eggs are heated to kill off any risk of salmonella.

And beer.

Isn't that where the Homer J Simpson gag comes from?

The Simpsons is absolutely full of US Presidential trivia in-jokes. Marge's maiden name is the same as Jackie Kennedy's for example.

Would you go on Vickey Corens show with Kayroo and maybe BCB?

I could manage from the sidelines

Any of you ever listen to Round Britan quiz? They do a line in almost crosssword themed questions

There are some great questions in it.

Heres a couple I'll leave with you for tonight and I'll dig out a few good ones for later in the week

How might Superman's father + Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar + 'The Body' = 150 ?


Why might, in part, a dog, a Channel port, an early English translation of the Bible, the first Director of the FBI, the Book of Common Prayer's enthusiast for divine concord, and the ruling monarch, get you a maximum technically possible score of 216?

What the obsession with US presidents? Why not Irish presidents?

I'd say that people of this generation can list off US presidents easier than Irish.
Obviously there's been almost 5 times as many, but even restrict it to US presidetns post-JFK and it still holds true.

.

Jor-el, El cid, Elle mcpherson.

I feel dumb looking at that

[Mellor]

He did. Between you and Raoul you pretty much have it.

James Gandon designed the Customs House and his former apprentice, James Hoban, designed the White House.

Alternatively, what is the connection between The White House and the other notable 18th century Irish "James". James FitzGerald.

Struggling with this one.

[hotspur]

I had just written a three word post that puzzles annoy me and then decided not to post it, on account of who gives a flying fuck if puzzles annoy me or not, and it might be misinterpreted as criticising those posting them.

I do that regularly enough. Write a short post and then decide not to submit it. Now if I had posted every post I decided not to it wouldn't matter a jot. But I just had the thought there - what do you think your life might have been like if you had said everything you ever held back from saying?

Beyond the initial bristle of thinking "Well, I would be single, friendless, unemployed, and in a wheelchair" I wonder what the positives might have been. Personally I regret little to nothing of what I say, it's what I don't say that I regret.

You cunt.

Well I know two James Fitzgeralds in the 18th century. One was an extremely famous barrister of the time and I don't know what connection he would have to the White House and the other was Lord Leinster so potentially there's some sort of connection with a private home becoming the seat of Government?

Unlike Ronseal, it doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin. More of a general shite talk thread. It's 2013, no-one cares about poker anymore.

@The-Rigger, what did you make of Canadian Bacon with John Candy?

Do you think it was a scheme by Hollywood to incorporate as many foodstuffs into the making of movies back then in order to increase obesity and thus encouraging lazy fat sods to watch more movies?

I haven't seen it, think I tried downloading it and failed or tried watching it and gave up.

I'm off to play my testimonial at the weekly EPA 5 a side.

There could well be tears.

How did it go?

I told you all this in the HQ. You coming?

Might do, sounds interesting, I like being drunk.

Competition starts today with sky door to door reps. The last one they ran I was too late as there was only a week left. Person who gets most sales in 3 weeks picks what they want from 10 prizes, these include a holiday for the family to spain, A concert in Europe for you and ten friends. VIP passes for Galway races with hotel, Volkswagon camper van yoke around ireland ( unsure of this one) among other prizes, ten in total!

Lets fucking do this!!! Got 3 today , bring it on!


Anyone in within a 30km distance looking for sky products let me know

My bag is packed.

Animaniacs told me that one. Grover Cleveland twice.

edit : Vid thats always worth a post.

The latter. James Fitzgerald, the last Earl of Kildare, and 1st Duke of Leinster.
Was the white ever the active house if US government, possibly during some crisis, but thats not what I'm looking for.

Wow think I just have the pleasure of meeting Ireland's most racist taxi driver, which is really not an easy accolade to achieve considering the high standards. Should really start recording these guys, would make a pretty damning compilation.

One of his stories: There's this little ni**er in my sons class, a mouse ran into their class a few days ago, all the other kids ran away terrified, but the ni**er didn't bat an eyelid and just went over a repeatedly stamped on the mouse.... Imagine that kid on the streets in ten years, or worse a group of them.

Always annoys me on programs (well maybe a specific program - Come Dine with Me) when people say "oh I just say things as I see them and I don't care what people think". Straight away I think, this one's a cunt. Like how would she like it if I went up to her and said "fuck me, but you're the fattest bitch I have ever seen" and then said "sorry, but I just say things as I see them"?

pretty sure they are on sale, a friend has a ticket for me already

about time you got up to the big schmoke for a game!

Hi middle name was actually Jay.

actually, you're both right.

It was initially the story that his middle name was J (as a Harry S Truman style).

They later wrote the episode where he went looking for his middle name and it was revealed that it was Jay.

Bart, however, was given the middle initial J as it was Homers middle name, so his middle name is truly J.

Although in Simpsons style they'll probably do an episode where it will become Jebidiah.

You rarely get on t.v. without being a prick or having something to sell. It's sad that it's such a huge goal in some people's lives to appear on tv and have a brief moment of celebrity.


Now where's that game show/weight loss/reality tv show contestant application form???
