Depends on the type of screen. A common15.6" led display would cost about €80 ish fitted in a proper repair store. Should take less than an hour if parts are in stock too. Check online for local computer repairs and phone around for quotes.Originally posted by shano_88 View PostComment

While you're here coillcam!Originally posted by coillcam View Post
Bought a new HP Envy laptop a few weeks ago, but the sound is terrible on it. It's not very high when i put it up to 70-80% but when i have earphones in, i need to turn it down to about 10% or less because it's too high. Does any of that strike you as a problem? The sound settings seem to be fine but it's definitely odd that it's so high with earphones and so low without.Comment

In fact, if you played both tracks without video to someone who doesn't know S&G they would probably pick the pizza guys version as the better one to listen to.
The harmonies are better and their voices stand out from each other more, not sure if that's the point in that song but it makes it better to listen to imo.Comment

Second point, someone who did not know the original would pick the cover as better than the original because of the harmonies.
I disagree, the original is far superior.This too shall pass.Comment

S&G were excellent songwriters and singers but there are better singers out there so it's not like someone can't come along and sing a better version of their song, I happen to think those pizza guys did that when comparing the live versions.
Show me someone doing a Freddie Mercury cover, I don't think there is a better version of any of his songs out there, he was the best at what he did and there is nobody that could do it better, not that I've heard anyway.Comment

IOriginally posted by White Knight View Post Mike Masse.
What are people's opinions on The Script? I only discovered they existed at the weekend, but already knew some of their songs, particularly because I have great fondness for the acoustic covers of Boyce Avenue (whom I came across after my Mike Masse period) and they cover Breakeven and For the First Time.
I listened to The Script's 3 albums on Saturday and really liked a lot of their songs. Although they don't sound very Irish. Or look very Irish in their videos that look tailored to American teenage girls.
Went to see The Guest in the cinema today. I can't recall laughing so satisfactorily in a cinema for a long time, especially with something that's played so straight. Some really brilliant dark comedy in there.Comment

Only arrived in LA yesterday for the start of my new life there. Typically enough, this morning (it is now 8.30pm) it rained heavily
for an hour or so, so it wasn't that warm. Irish weather really.
Today was head wrecking picking up the rental, could only drive it for two blocks due to nerves and trying to get use to the car and the road system, a quirk of the local laws means you can drive though red light under certain circumstances so you have to be very alert to what you are doing.
All in all, though it is interesting, learning the neighbourhood, opening bank accounts, etc.. Big day tomorrow though as will be apartment hunting (have already lined up a couple of places I want to see).
Hoping to hit the beach toward the end of the week to Santa Monica / Malibu if have time.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.Comment

Ya, being able to turn right on a red light (unless otherwise stated) was an eye opener, but as long as the rules are followed it works. U-turns are legal at lots of junctions too, but in California, the pedestrian is king most of the time at junctions.Originally posted by pokerhand View PostCan't speak for the rest as only a newly fledged member of the night crew.

Assume that's for ipo? We're booked into Skylon. Fine hotel, as Honda said nothing fancy but not a kip either. Stayed there twice before and will only use that hotel when staying in Dublin now. Bus stop across the street and taxis passing by the whole time. Just don't ask them to ring you a taxi, go and flag one down. Their taxi service is disastrous.Originally posted by Laois Hammer View PostComment
