Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - BabyforV

[Jam-Fly]

I remember a friend of mine left the casino one morning at 10am after a (bad) all night poker session. There's some cancer research charity worker outside a shop asking for donations. "Can you spare 2 euro for cancer research?". "naaaah, BUSTO!". He then proceeded to tell her his bad beat stories from the night.

[Jam-Fly]

they look like the kinda people I'd want to do a Masters with.

[poprock]

Although I do remember one nice story. Offered a full bag of chips to a homeless person once. He said no thanks and handed me a huge bag of chicken nuggets. Some chipper owner gave to him when they were closing and he had his fill so he asked me to give it to the next homeless person I saw, thought that was really nice.

haha, thats what homeless say to each other so they dont offend each other

trying to keep their dignity, even on the streets

how would i know this, you smirk? I saw it on a bad cop tv show

[CHDad]

They sell them both in lidl.

You will be rewarded for this.

Exact response I was expecting! Fecking bbv, can't even tell a nice story about homeless people jeez

@sickpuppy, I have woken on the street on a handful of occasions due to over-drinking and also being lost in literally deserted places in random countries but nah never homeless.
Not yet anyway, give it time!

[hotspur]

Are homeless people the new cats? I want more, sweet stories about them, and perhaps some lolhomeless gifs of them failing to make a jump or "I can has nuggetz?".

I think you should start being homeless now. Write a book or make a TV show and call it "The Secret Hundred Thousandaire". Live on the streets and befriend the homeless, become one with their way of life. Then for the big reveal, tell them you're actually a hundred-thousandaire and offer then a stake in the IPO at 50-50 no stakeback.

Other way around show would be good. The Secret Homeless Person. Place them in high level management at prestigious companies. Use Trading Places as the pilot.

Whwn i first moved to dublin i lived on Gardiner street.
Early one sunday morning i spotted two homeless lads old guys classical down and outs.
I asked them would they drink a cup of tea both said yes.
Got them both a cup of tea and a rasher sandwich from a cafe.
One lad said thanks son and said its a fucking awful way to be.
I didnt have much time to answer the smell of stale piss and the rest made me feel uneasy and queasy and i legged it.

What odds would I get to live like a homeless dude on the streets, no hostels, for 3 months?

Pick the 3 harshest months too. Get TV3 on board.

[Lord Sir Banter]

You'd be on crack by the end of the day chad. Prop bet on who can earn the most pan handling for a few hours sounds more liable to happen. Will put €50 to your €50, I reckon you'd lock it up though.

[Lord Sir Banter]

Pick a day, Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday. If you lose I'll pay your fare back to Bray. Can't say fairer.

I'd have a go at doug on this challenge but I'd need long odds, he'd wipe the floor with me.
BBV needs more of these type of things, we've gotten soft.

I truly want to see this happen lads! Please make it happen!!! 0% chance though tbf


On another note, was on primewire there watching tv shows and a spam got through the adblock... sexgansters.com!
Have to give it credit, was by far one of the more fun spam ones that came up! I'd recommend an auld sconce. Better than candy crush anyway!!

Easy money to be made then eh!

Nobody would offer the odds or put up the money to make 3 months worthwhile. Would do one month.

IT sent an email around yesterday saying they found a virus on the network but it's ok, they've sorted it.
This afternoon, a couple of my files were affected by the cryptolocker virus. Did a quick search and found 30,000 affected files, and that's only on a partial section of the drive.
Rang IT and they were completely oblivious of the fact we were currently digitally raped for the last 24 hours.

I think tonight may be the turning point. Genuinely apropos of nothing. No driver. No catalyst. Just the time I realise I'm not 22 anymore. I'm not 23 anymore. Nor 24 or 25.

Finished a network installation in a solicitors office yesterday evening. Office 365 for 8 of them,emails setup, ipads and phones etc. NAS unit, nothing too out of the ordinary. Sitting with an invoice ready to rub money on titties, and Head solicitor says, " Thats a great job Conor. Hold on a second, we cant be having .co.uk in our email address, take out the Uk and change it to .com, 2 mins will do it and then accounts will square you up"

Why? How long would it take to change that? No idea myself as wouldn't know the process.

I remember a guy came up to me in Stephen's Green, made eye contact a good 60 yards away and locked in on me. Walks up and says "Listen mate, I'm gonna be deadly honest with ya, I'm a junkie, I'm looking for a score, fuck all that hostel shit, can you throw me a few quid to get a start on a bag?".

Honesty is the best policy, think he got €2.50.

[mocata]

Their other senior partner picked the .co.uk, so its billable. Pain in the hole though, the office 365 licences were purchased through BT so have to jump through their hoops as well before can do the changeover.

The state of the back ups is yet to be revealed.
Tomorrow will be an interestin Friday.

Being set back, or having to re/do drawings just extends my contract tbh. Xmas deadline is probably snookered though.
I'll be sweet, As long as I didn't let the virus it.

[Lazare]

So, the reason I haven't been posting here for so long is simply that I haven't had the time. I still don't really but Lazare told me I had to so I am trying to log in every so often.

Amongst other things, including holding down a very busy full time job, I've set up my own production company for Film / Documentary / TV. So far, we've worked on three projects, two of which are still in production.

Below is our first fully completed piece, which is a mini doc/promotion video for The National LGBT Helpline to support their National Coming Out Day on October 11th.

If you like what you see, feel free to like it, share it or maybe even throw us an 'aul like on Facebook - Lao Lao Productions is where you'll find us.

This now concludes this episode of shameless self promotion. Please keep an eye out for future episodes

Tell me about betting in Spain. It seems like a fucking joke.

[Dice75]

Tell me about betting in Spain. It seems like a fucking joke.

Correct to all of the above, you can use an IP changer though. Laws have changed for betting websites, think you have to pay tax on winnings so you have to use the Spanish version of gambling websites.
I'm not a big gambler but when I get the odd tip on IPB I'll jump on 888 or Tote etc.
I have to change to a UK IP address though as I get blocked if I use my Spanish IP.

Yep, get them on before you go.

From this article: http://www.sportsbettingonline.net/country/spain/

To bet online legally from Spain, you need to open an account with an internet bookmaker that uses a .es domain name and is licensed by Juego Seguro.
To use the sites suggested above you’ll need to first register an account. During the registration processes you’ll need to enter your DNI number (this is found on your Documento nacional de identidad, or in English your National ID Card). You might at a later date also be asked to email a scanned copy of your DNI as well. This is to simply used to verify your identity. Remember Spanish sites are legal and heavily regulated. Here you can be assured of fair treatment, but large wins will be reported to the Spanish tax authority (Agencia Tributaria). This shouldn’t be a concern as a safe betting environment is provided.

Was in Spain a few weeks ago & Gordo mentioned the above before I went over (he lives there). Fwiw couldn't access any betting accounts on my phone.

[NewApproach]

Can you register for and use .es betting sites if your are not resident in Spain, a la pokerstars.fr?

The guy probably desperately needed a hostel but has learned to tailor his pitch.

How much is a bag anyhow?

[Strewelpeter]

I have had no penalty points for years, got none that I can think of since a few months after the system came in.
Arrived home last night to two tickets 4 minutes apart from around 11PM the other night on a wide safe well lit road where they got me coming in and going out of town 62 and 65 in a 50 FFS! 6 fucking points and 160 fine

Then this morning I was calling into a friends shop to drop some business related stuff into him and chose deliberately to use the loading bay outside rather than one of the empty parking spots. Got out of the car and went in to the shop and 20 seconds later turned around and the traffic warden was writing a ticket because It wasn't a commercial vehicle He acted the total cunt and refused to show a bit of cop on and issued the ticket. Prick was really belligerent about it. It makes me really mad and sad how the fucking council have destroyed the town
FFS! thats another 40 but unlike the speeding fines there is no way I'll be paying that.

The last time i checked this up, you couldn't. You can only play on .es if you live in Spain and have a Spanish IP address. I think you can set up an account and play on stars.es while on holidays, but not sure. You could probably get around it using a fake IP, but i'm not sure if it's worth the hassle if it came to withdrawing as you'd no doubt run into problems. It's defiantly not freely accessible like .fr anyway.
