I'd imagine a fair bit if he is hiding revenue. I'd only go through with it if you are going Nuclear.

Was in a bar at the weekend with the most impressive whiskey selection I'd ever seen.
Tipple from all over the world, Ireland, American, Japanese, and the various regions of scotland (highland, lowland, speyside, islay etc).

Looks like Baxters? Very cool little bar, been there many a time when I used to work in the city. It's one of the "secret" bars!!

[Denny Crane]

Don't think childrens allowance is included in that number

Can we do a AMA thread to give a bit of life to this place. I am 100% not doing it but there must be somebody who can step forward and deliver their spare time to us.

I asked two bbv notables for a well last week and got rejected.

My downloads (Movie and TV) are all over the shop. Is there any software out there that will move,delete,rename, movies and tv shows into some logical file structure at the press of a button? Scraping a bonus. Tried Filebot and TinyMediaManager. Not impressed.

[Blip]

Anyone know if when buying from Amazon.co.uk it's better to choose pay in euro (and except the exchange rate on offer) or pay in sterling and let the bank charge your account or is there even much of a difference either ways?

You can set up utorrent to run this every time something downloads, so everything is automatically filed away.

You might need this for some files if they're not in a recognised format. Renamer is able to figure about most file names these days though.

Ordering in Sterling is marginally better.

@Dom, the only concern is that it could be fucking freezing on deck, which rules out going outside much when you're on the ship. Can highly recommend Norwegian, but I'm sure all of the main ones are good.

I wasn't freezing oit on deck and I even went jogging round the track! Unless you go deep in the winter it isn't that cold. And if you think it was you need to man the fuck up

I went out to watch bears and other wildlife on the islands and to whale watch. I would recommend getting binoculars for a trip like that too.
I would agree on Norwegian Cruise Line, they are just awesome. I had a suite and it was amazing.

Is nearly always an early kickoff so would tentatively discount Monday and Saturday evening.
Marginally more likely to be a Sky pick than a BT pick so biased towards Sunday. Potential Europa League L16 tie for Liverpool is on 19/3/15 which again biases towards Sunday.
However BT have been holding back their Liverpool games this season (they had their 7 burned by Feb last year) maybe with an eye on this one?

Probably price it 65% Sunday, 30% Saturday, 5% Monday.


eDIT : If you could hold off flights until Liverpool v Basle next week, if Liverpool finish third in the group then the possibility of a game on the 19th March will effectively mean the Saturday isn't possible.

The missus wants to do a cruise thing as part of the honeymoon. We were looking at the usual Caribbean type ones, but I may have talked her into one to Alaska from Vancouver. Anyone any reasons why this would be a bad idea? I think it'd be great.

Jesus I really need to get me finger out about booking a honeymoon. How long before the wedding should you do it?
It's hardly going to be emptying the cards then bounding up to budget travel but I'm not in too much of a hurry
We've talked about that too (cruise), but a week on a boat would probably drive me insane.

Yo rounders absolutely no joy in getting streamtvbox up & running, tired logging in through my browser/app/xbmc and nothing, left a message on the forum so hope to hear something back.

This is the greatest piece of journalistic satire I think I've ever read

[Jam-Fly]

Ah don't report him to revenue Finkel. He might be acting the cunt and doing things that are technically illegal, but God loves a chancer and he didn't do anything truly wrong, just hid a bit of money that the government would tax, and sure what would they spend it on, more water meters?!? Threaten him with revenue and maybe call him a bastard, but don't actually call revenue, that'd be bad form. If worst comes to worst and you still can't get an invoice off him, just forge an invoice from him/his company. That way it's win-win.

Think it's best to let it charge you in the currency of the site, £ rather than your cc, if cc.

Do people who've been taking Ginseng for a while still feel the benifits or is it one of those things where you're always chasing the buzz of the first few hits in vain?

I have had insomnia for the past week and a half, been taking Ginseng 4 weeks. Only occurred to me today that it was probably ginseng related, lot of reports of that happening. I think I will graduate to heroin instead.

I got my batch last week. On the second day, i was using my card to buy stuff and i couldn't remember the pin code for the first time in a long time. Had to head out the car and check it on my phone and then apologise to the peoples i held up! I haven't noticed any difference coming into the second week. Might have to up the dose coz the shit doesn't work!

Looking at a darts match.

Only 4 bookies have prices up. Bet365 at 13/10, while the others 4/6, 4/6 and 8/13 so i can back both guys at 13/10 with different bookies. Presume there's no point though as Bet365 have probably just marked it up wrong?

[MegaSin]

Never did comment on Amsterdam in here and seems people are looking for more content.

Arrived after what seems like ages and went for a meal in a shity "Irish" pub in the Leidseplein. Got bitterballen which are like a croquet filled with a beef puree, I think, it was manky. Headed up the RLD and found a coffeeshop called Basjoe. Fairly modern looking and played loud house music so we thought why not. I of course ordered the strongest thing behind the bar which was a huge mistake. We sat at the back on a large leather sofa area and well after about half a J I was gone. Place filled up soon and a huge black guy with dreads down past his waist joined our table. He didn't say anything but smoked tons.

We got bad vibes then and left the place. In reality though the weed was just hitting hard. Walking outside I got crazy paranoid that everyone was laughing at me . Went back to shity Irish pub (people I was with decision) but after 20 minutes of sitting on a stool not really talking or doing anything I left to go back to bed and sleep it off. Soon as i got in to the safety of the hotel I calmed down and was good. Got the best nights sleep ever.

Always really weird going to an Irish pub in a foreign country ran by non Irish. It's like its right for the most parts but then you hear blur been played while eating bitterballen. Feels like a parallel universe.

Rest of the time there was great though. Found a delightful coffeeshop called The Otherside ran by a Gay couple who played nothing but Simply Red, Elton John, etc. Made the best hot chocolate.



Anyways on the JobBridge scheme now. The system works!!!

Must be very Italian as well so as at lunchtime today I was picking up the rent from two Italian guys I have a house rented to and one of them lost his licence in Dublin and has to fly back to Italy to replace his.
He said he went to the embassy with a report he made to the Guards but they only deal with passports that are missing.
