Hmmm 13 countries in three continents (esp considering GB) seems depressingly low, must do more city breaks and branch out from going to the US for holidays. Another reason to regret not getting a job with optiver in Holland, would have had no excuses not to get on the train to somewhere new every weekend.Last edited by Denny Crane; 16-11-14, 23:06.

Can anyone explain the politics behind Obama trying to push through his immigration bill? Does he actually want to try and do something good or am I missing the political motives. Even in the more liberal parts of American like Oregon where weed was recently legalised they had a recent vote whether to allow illegals to hold driving licences which was defeated with 66%. Public support isn't behind him, the house isn't obviously and it looks like another shutdown could be a real possibility. Why is pushing forward with this so forcefully?

Puts me on tilt that BoI ATM's by default ask you if you want to use a fucking language that there is not a single person on the planet would need to use but they will still present you with fast cash options that cannot be dispensed because there are no twenties in the machine. This is basic stuff that could be solved with five lines of code and a time cost of <100 milliseconds. Grrrrrrrrrr!
Some of the old AIB ATM's appear to be still running OS/2 though tat this stage that is probably an OS/2 emulator running on WinXP
Its shockingly bad but they see no margin in improving the experience for us punters

Actually a proper level of frustration on her part at times while she was doing it, so it might be the limit of her current abilities. She did it again a bit later in way less time, but I'd say the first test was more accurate as there was less memory at play.
Reasonably day's rewards for the €50 spent on jigsaws though at the expense of actually being able to buy food for the rest of the month.
Couldn't remember though whether to congratulate her or not due to Hotspurs post which I didn't quite understand but which seemed to be making a point one way or the other. So we just gave each other a limp high-five.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.

Can any of the brains of used car selling throw their eyes over this and tell me if I'm asking too much? Did a little bit of research on donedeal and carzone and priced it about average but haven't had any biters yet. Only posted it a few hours ago so maybe I'm being a bit presumptious.
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

He does that before dawn and then just sits there retouching it slightly. That said, I don't know what his hourly is.
I was on Grafton st yesterday, sand dog was there but what I found fascinating was a huge crowd was gathered around those five black painted lads with the masks and the fake dog. They normally only get one or two punters but this time a huge crowd was around them. I couldn't get my head around it, they were just doing their usual thing of just sitting there.
I'd understand it if they brokedance or something.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

It's only up seven hours on a Sunday. The tyre kickers will go looking for new cars when they get to work tomorrow.
Want me to ask any questions on it?
Would you consider photoshopping a scantily dressed lady laying over the bonnet into the pics

The problem is it's not a practical car from the running costs point of view. It is a nice car though so it will sell but it will probably take a bit of time.
I would put it on done deal and carzone and be willing to take calls. I wouldn't rate adverts.ie as a means of selling cars, not quickly anyway.
Usually when someone is in the market for a car they want to set up viewing's as early as possible and the best way of doing that is to call the owner.

Done the Hitchesque thing and shopped around for better utility prices, was just messing around on the UPC website the other day night and see they've a bunch of new features and upgrades, upload speed has now increased to 20meg down which is slowly getting there compared to their 200meg down, also didn't know I could watch stuff through my phone/tablet from the tv service doesn't seem as good as SkyGo but it's good plus you can now make calls through your phone from the home line which I think is pretty cool.
When signing up to the new broadband service a couple years back it was cheaper if you also took on the phone line but I've never used, looking at the Eircom bill that came in the other week works out roughly €80ish (every two months) for a service that isn't used too much in our house, phone calls were roughly a fiver with the rest of the bill in line rental/vat/phone package etc just switched to UPC and got free local/national/mobile calls & 400 international minutes for €5 extra a month, Eircom you are now dumped."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

So when Dom brought up that I was approaching 20,000 posts wasn't really sure what to do with it/for it, do I hit up the old gifs of girl with big boobs bopping around in car or classics like blue dress girl???
20,000 posts is a fucking lot but they aren't all full on words of wisdom or insights into the psyche of what's going on in our world I'd always leave that to people a lot wiser & more informed than myself while trying to pick them up as I went along, but thinking about always posting here & there with stuff about this & that all over the site, bar maybe the first BBV don't think I've been in the top 10 posters of them. Subsequently went from being a lowly poster > to mod > to bigwig admin & keys to the castle.
With all that in mind thought it would be good to go back to when I first started popping up around poker in Ireland and what better way to do that than hit up the first post ever made in the old place, coincidently it's 8 years to the day since first making that post so HERE it is in all it's glorious text speak was fun reading back over it with some input from a few regular posters and some names that are recognisable but don't remember who they are now, to my first post made HERE on IPB, next up is being made a mod HERE & then being handed the keys to the castle HERE
It's been a good time for me with regards poker and it's lead me to a job that I really enjoy and giving me crazy opportunity's to do stuff that never thought would happen & see places that might never have seen otherwise, long may it continue....."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)
