I am thinking of getting himself a dual sim, what way does dual work , do they work away together or do you do something to switch to the one you want?

[SatNav]

I think it was wombatman who posted it here earlier, maybe two weeks ago.

Here's the page

As I mentioned, not an iota why or how Dual sim works.

Watching the replay of primetime. Ronan Lyons is defo a poor man's economist. The amount of times he's used the example of himself as a first time buyer to validate his points is laughable. Sounds like he read the 1st chapter of "How to win every argument" , put the book down and went on the show.

Felt like a tool last week in work. Two fellas down for breakfast and I didn't realise who they were till later on when I was told Van Gerwen and Adrian Lewis were staying in the hotel as they were in some tourney local the night before.

Was one of those.. fuck.. that's who they were moments lol.

Could have had a pic of them for Tony as well.

Just watched the pilot for The Strain, waited for the all of season 1 to air first so I can binge watch it. Shades of Cronos throughout, obviously due to Guillermo Del Toro.

Liked the fact he wrote the entire season before starting to start shooting filming.

[Flushdraw]

I haven't watched it yet, but 'An Alternative Reality: The Football Manager Documentary' debuted today and is available online to watch. I think most of us know what the addiction to the game is like, so it will probably appeal to us all!

Battlestar done years ago.
Ten series of Stargate, 214 episodes and three movies watched.

Will not be watching Atlantis, or Universe,
Because fuck that.

[oleras]

I could be knocked down with a feather right about now.

I just finished watching "Joe", good Lord...who gave Nicholas Cage acting lessons ?

Rather than the usual laugh at him trying, i so believed him in this, fantastic film, fantastic story, fantastic characters. Highly recommend it.

[eamonhonda]

new batch of 30 for 30s starting tonight hopefully available to download quickly, first one about Henry Hill and a point shaving scheme in college basketball, sounds good!

[tylerdurden94]

Anyone watching Scorpion? Pure fluff but entertaining nonetheless. If you like Chuck, you'll dig this.

Seen the first two, 100% pure fluff but wondering does it have the potential to get better as it goes along or will it be canned by episode 10?

If not, get your eyeballs around it, its very very good.

I rarely frequent here any more just due to less time spent online but funnily when looking for advice on sometime it is generally the first place I think of.

I have a best man speech to do on Wednesday now most peoples advice is to have it long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to keep people interested.

Anyone with experience of delivering best man speeches? I have approximately 1200 words written so estimating about 10 mins for the speech is this ok?

Any advice appreciated

[Jam-Fly]

looking to get training tops/t shirts/jumpers/polos with a crest on them for as cheap as possible. Basically, a Pennys quality t-shirt with a personalized crest on it would be perfectly acceptable. Anyone any recommendations where to go? I recall someone on here having good advice about this before.

I gave someone a step by step guide on here once (think it was 5starpoo) one of the lads who is handy at the mental searches will probably find it a lot quicker than I could


One thing I do remember is I skipped the whole embarrassing story of laddish behaviour by saying all the stories I had made me look much worse than him, 5 cringy minutes cut and made me look jack the lad to the single girls

Prob is plenty of best man speeches on youtube that you could binge watch to give ideas/confidence.

[Jam-Fly]

Just caught up on the last circa 24 hrs. IPB in great form.

Not watched a full episode of Love/Hate and don't care.

Come at me, bro.

Haven't watched a full episode yet but fully intend on watching the whole series at some point but have yet to hear any spoiler.

I also watched Fight Club for the first time around 2008 and managed to have no idea of the twist.

p.s. Roy Keane is an actual sociopath. Glamourising his worst excesses is frankly shameful.

only an unpassionate person would say that.

SPOILER

not srs

I find it amazing though how Keane can have done what he's done, and still has my utmost respect and admiration. Ma'a Nonu was basically irredeemable in my eyes after what he did to O'Driscoll on the Lions Tour. That one incident was enough for me to only have one opinion on him, and that's that he is an utter scumbag and should have no place in rugby. I appreciate Luis Suarez's talent, but there's no doubt he's a total knacker and as a far as being a reasonable person goes, that ship has sailed. Still a great player, but I'll never see him as 'misunderstood' or 'that being a scumbag craic is in his past'.

Yet with Keane, somehow my mind sees all his shortcomings as mis-placed passion or uses the excuse that either that's the nature of the beast or you'll never win anything with choir boys. I do genuinely think he is different to Suarez and isn't a scumbag at the core (like Suarez is), but there's been more than one incident that should be fairly defining and tough to come back from. Yet not only has Keane come back from it, he still remains at more-or-less 'hero' status.

Do you economic types ever accurately predict anything?

It's kinda like Cathlocism. It's all vague enough, throw in a bit of your own theory (since no one really knows what's going on, they can't argue with it) and see what happens.

Carrying the greatest information repository in the history of the world around in my pocket is humanities greatest achievement.

Pity I use it mostly for looking at cat gifs.

How many areas have become defunct now that we have the history of all human information at our fingertips 24/7? You'd think that would cover pretty much everything, but I'm struggling to think of examples. It seems like there could be some link between this and Keynes' predication of a 15 hr working week. In theory, when the economy grows, we should have more leisure time and work less hours, but in practice that is not what happened. I would've thought in theory, having constant access to the history of all human intelligence would have far more sweeping results.

I've started to dislike Keane more and more with time. This book will make me actually dislike the guy I used to think of as a legend.

[Mellor]

9 years since he's been beaten...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Aldo

Scary

Even more scarily, his only lose was when he fought up a weight class in brazil, his only time to fight up afaik.
His FW record is 24-0, over more than 10 years.

[CHDad]

Reading Keane's book is the same as reading a wimminz celeb gossip mag. Its a male version. Take it for what it is, a money maker cashing in on the stupidity of humans. Everyone would do it if they could.

Doesn't change the fact that he is one of the best. The man is a legend.

CHD making sense at 3am, what is this sorcery!!

But I agree, I'm just going to ignore the book and remember what he did for United. Just cos he's taking digs at people now will never ruin that for me. Like you said, it's a cash cow. And why not.

Good point. There's also the possibility that people might not feel its a genuine heartfelt message if it was written on the side of bombs.

Analysis and dissecting of jokes is funnier than the joke 87% of the time.

Why does most of the rest of Europe not put flouride in their water? Surely if it is such a great idea our more enlightened European brethren would be all over it? E.g. Denmark, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden are the archetypal healthy countries yet don't flouridate.

Not doing a conspiracy thing here clearly. But you'd be a lot more confident if it was more widely practiced. It seems like a very old idea, so there has to be some worry that it was a great idea when conceived in the 1950s (in Ireland) but that the science has moved on since.

They do fluoridate, just in different ways. Milk, Salt, or through fluoridation mouthwash programs in school.

[shrapnel]

For places like Syria where they might not have affordable 4g plans to access twitter, sometimes an old-fashioned bomb is the best way to spread the good cheer message.

how about slow falling bombs with banners tied to the back (with good will messages), so you get 10 minutes of good cheer messaging before reality hits home?

"What have the Bridesmaids and a KFC Snack box got in common?

Once you take away the legs and breasts all you are left with is a smelly box"

Felt 9+10 were really weak anyway.

This was my cousin's wedding lol. We laughed so hard when he said it and as Tony said the bride and her father were speechless. I was helping my cousin get ready for the evening reception in my room and she said she did find it funny but the pastor that married them would not have been impressed and she was embarrassed about that. My uncle is an easy going guy but hearing that his daughter is getting "banged" for two weeks was a bit much for him

I liked a grooms speech which had the line "I'd like to thank Jimmy for the wonderful gift of his beautiful daughter, and assure him I look forward to unwrapping the gift tonight". Could see that sudden nanosecond of kill urge in the dads face before joining in the laughter.

[Mellor]

He fought 6 times in one year prior to the WEC/UFC. He's had time out to recover from an injury too.

3-4 times a year is typical for entry to mid level guys, but champs typically fight 2-3 times due to having longer tougher matches on average.
Also the fact that title fights have to be scheduled around the contenders, as opposed to the full availible roster.

London Wasps RFC changed their name to Wasps RFC in September.

Wasps have just revealed to their fans that they are moving mid season to Coventry. Pro rata refunds available for fans if they're not happy at relocating.

http://www.wasps.co.uk/news/article/2014/10/08/the-ricoh-arena-q-as

This post, on a fan forum, is one of the best posts I've ever read. Discussing the business side of it, and the murky option that a vulture investor is merely using Wasps as a vehicle to turn a stadium over.

tl;dr Wasps owners are cunts

The other night my attention was brought to a horribly crude post, down around the KFC box level but without any of the humor, that appeared on my daughters facebook. It was clear that the lad who posted it was fraped. I've not hinted to her that I saw it but I'm looking forward to the next time I meet the kid whose account it was on to see his face when I tell him to keep a better eye on his facebook account
