Originally posted by Keane View PostOne sided fair enough is probably unavoidable, but at least with either straight knockout or full league every game actually has something at stake.
The Champions League is a laughable effort in that it takes the worst aspect of a league - the dead rubbers - and not only makes them by far the most common games, but also makes sure that by abandoning the league half way through any slip ups by the big teams go unpunished.
They then mangle the knockout stages to the point where you could have a 12 hour debate on whether it makes more sense for the home team or away team to play more defensively at any given moment.
The GAA Championship is obviously a million miles from perfect, but any time I see a "Champions League style" suggestion for improving it these days I immediately puke violently. Can't believe I used to think it was a good idea.

I love the bit about how a village rebels and kills some of Khans envoys, so he responds by getting the widow of one of the envoys to take a seat and has the entire village executed one by one in front of her as punishment.

Anyone have parents or grandparents living in council/corporation sheltered housing or old folks housing or suchlike?
I'm looking to know how the water charges is being done.
I thought it'd be a group payment scheme of some sort, but IW have sent out the forms to be filled in - rang Dublin Corporation Housing Dept and was told to fill them in and send them to IW, i.e., implying that people in such sheltered housing would be metered and charged like normal houses.
(I thought it'd be more like the gas, no-one gets an individual bill but all pay a fixed amount on top of their rent for the gas).

Maíria Cahill says she ‘wasn’t discussing teddybears’ in meeting with Gerry Adams
I hope they can muster up one more big hearted effort to allow their leader to continue his oversize ego wankfest long enough for him to drag himself, MaryLou that evil creep from Dundalk and the rest of them out of the Dail and back into the sewers where they belong.Turning millions into thousands

The Mongols are absolutely amazing. I feel like we don't learn anywhere near as much about them as we should when you consider the absolute reign of destruction and conquest they wrought on East and Central Asia. I guess it's somewhat of a western bias as they didn't really touch continental Europe. But I now can't hear enough about those crazy Mongols.

Originally posted by cooker3 View PostYeah it's fantastic show. I listen to a lot of podcasts but nothing even comes close to the length of those shows. The series about the demise of the Roman republic capped with that 5 1/2 hour finale was just ridiculous.

Just stuck a ton on Real to win the 2nd half @ 11/10. Ronaldo likes to score, he is 1 off Raul's European record, and Liverpool are well and truly beaten, like a whimpering dog. Easy money.

[QUOTE=DeadParrot;850023]ugh this is brutal, could be any score
Thought it would be a bit tighter than this. 2 terrible goals to give away. Result probably not that important as Madrid probably gonna sweep the group anyway so arguably the other game result is more important. I'd be a bit nervous of the reverse fixture in 2 weeks though. Can't really slag as they'd probably stick a half dozen past us at the moment too!

Originally posted by Jam-Fly View PostGot a jar of korma sauce in the shop. Chicken fillets are in the oven.
What do I do to combine the two?
so I chopped up the chicken fillets and some broccoli and put them in a pot. Then I added the korma sauce and put the pot over a high heat. The sauce started bubbling so I turned the heat down. When it seemed like a right amount of time had passed I put it on a plate.

@ Hotspur: What did you think of Our Few and Evil Days?
Went to the matinee today, found it immensely powerful, still can't get the final scene out of my head. Really top notch performances.
Only irritant was a group of fuckwits behind me who laughed and giggled through the whole performance.

Also, Ronaldo is some choker, choking on the biggest stage of all - when I've a few quid on him. For shame.
