Sleaford Mods in Whelans was brilliant.

Zeitgeist-y maybe (despite being six albums in) but decent lads with a lot to say - proper punk and dance rhythms and spitfire northern english street rhymes.

The crowd chanted their name and they spent half an hour after the show flogging records and signing them before they sold out.

Some say the backlash might already have begun (bit samey? what next?) but on the strength of tonight they'll get more famous and write even better tunes before i'd support any backlash.

Here they are at their best with Fizzy and Tiswas.

Completely different kettle of fish to 'their are tiny people living in the wall which you'll never see'



Never saw any of them, but the same applies.

How do you know that the fairies are not there? Everybody knows that if you don't believe in them you can't see them

Maybe not exactly the same but not a completely different kettle of fish either.

Obviously a parent is not going to insist they are still real as their child gets older, a child will grow out of those beliefs naturally. I feel it's healthy for a child's imagination and creative learning.

A guy I used to work with can't watch fictional TV or movies and can't read fiction because he said they just annoy him and he thinks they are stupid, he can't suspend belief and just enjoy them for what they are. Do you feel you would be in that sort of category?

If powdered sugar is essentially ground sugar, why is it much less sweeter in cooking and you have to use nearly twice the amount? WHY

As you were dying to know... I believe now that while have less or a surface area the granules absorb moisture which plays an important role.

Some people don't realise that caster sugar, granulated sugar and icing sugar are all the same product and it is just the level of grounding that classifies it. Caster is used for most baking because it is finer than the standard sugar we use for our tea!

I wouldn't be that extreme, but wouldn't have any interest in sci-fi, fantasy etc and I would only read non-fiction books.

I suppose the fairy business just stems from me being so tilted by the biggest fairy story of all, and wasting so much of my life learning about it.

Could all be an urban myth but he is attributed to the Don't Feed the Gondolas quote. Supposedly they were thinking of putting Gondolas in the lakes of Killarney and he asked at a Council meeting "thats all very well but who will feed them during the winter". LOL

His "I represent the man who eats his dinner in the middle of the day" was actually very clever. It was a real dig at all those in dublin with their money, fancy restaurants, etc and went down very well locally.

Another famous one (and again it could be pure rubbish) is when he was doing an interview and he kept scratching his head with his hat on. interview finished and he was asked why didn't he take off his cap to scratch his head. His reply was "do you take down your trousers to scratch your arse". Fuck the screwing the whole country lark, this type of thing should be encouraged and rewarded.

Seemingly, he got a heart attack on the train home from the dail one day, later he was asked how he felt about it, he said he was very scared, because he was claiming mileage at the time.

For such self regarding cute hoors I never understood how the voters in the Kingdom don't seem to join the dots - for all the 'extras' he supposedly brought them, they, like everyone else, paid well in taxes. For all the bullshit he voted for, or avoided (because he was awarded loads of paired outs), like benchmarking etc.., those particular governments that he was partly responsible for cost Kerry people as well as everyone else a fortune.

But so long as someone campaigned on the ticket of stuffing it to them know-it-alls in the Capital, South Kerry were quite happy to continue to sending him up at a cost of about €1,000 per actual word he spoke in the Dail chamber.

It's hard to blame him for it, he saw his opportunity and grasped it eargerly, it just surprised me that the for all the bullshit that ensued Kerry people seemed to think he was doing them a favour instead of contributing to their, and our, higher taxes and general public waste.

Still, thats democracy. Gotta love it.

Not an expert on his exploits but surely the people of one area are heavily incentivised to do this? If it was getting them disproportionatly higher benefits to everywhere else paying a slightly marginally higher tax overall is fine because the benefits you are receiving is effectively subsidised by all the other suckers in the country?

Actually, given that a lot of the rest of the Country, including a slice of the West, got Motorways at the same time as Kerry was just getting potholes filled, there is an argument that they screwed themselves. But they were happy once the pothole fixing was guaranteed in a letter from the Taoiseach and their representative was getting special weekly meetings with the Chief Whip.

It's more when you look at the broader picture of what those two Governments were actually able to do, with little if any mandate, and what it is now costing everyone including the good Burghers of Tralee, Killarney and Kilgarvan, that you realise that for the price of having a nice straight road running past the parish priest's house in Where-the-fuck-ville that rest of the Economy and society was run to ground.

And don't forget all the multi million euro contracts he got from the council for his family's construction company

Ah now. It was completely transparent. Sure wasn't he up in Dublin on National business, how could he possibly have influenced what the lads in the Council were doing below in Kerry.

And there wasn't anything in the letter Bertie signed about who would fill the potholes ....

lol didn't see the Arsenal game but I assume the thinking was something like:

half time: jesus fucking christ typical
68: thank god, we might actually get something out of this game
70: jesus, there's 20 minutes left, 3 points might actually be on the card here
full time: jesus fucking christ typical

Binked 4 expensive ass tickets, best not think about my credit card bill.
I passed the other codes on to @Megatron but he had no luck, hopefully Monday though.

watched snowpiercer yesterday. Can't believe i missed it when it came out and don't believe i heard anyone talking about it in here, but well worth the watch. Fantastic sci-fi film from a korean director (john hoo bong) with hints of "delicatessen" crazyness.

Really enjoyed it.

Technical iPhone question:

My iPhone 4s had begun to creak beyond my tolerance so I upgraded to a 5c today. I backed up the 4s to the iCloud and went to activate the new phone there after the Simcard transferred but it won't let me choose my iCloud backup because the backup was on iOS 8.1 and the 5c had 7.1. Am I forced to use iTunes here, or if I set up the 5c as a 'new phone' and upgrade to latest iOS version will I be able to sync against the iCloud backup at that point?

Any help appreciated!

[ionapaul]

4s is better than a 5c. Should went 6. To answer your question looks like you will have to use iTunes

Really I thought it was rubbish. Hammy performances, stupid plot and not the deep examination of class divide and social injustice it was aimed/billed as.

I didn't think the film had any subtlety and just ran from section to section relying on action set pieces and slick camera work to distract from under developed characters and as I mentioned over acted performances.

If you are going to go for this type of film I think you need to build an emotional connection between the characters on a micro level to balance the big picture distoypian setting.

I didn't care about any of the characters and any of the big reveals/plot points were retarded and did I mention terribly delivered.

I would go so far as to say the biggest let down of a film I watched all year and would have turned it off if my gf doesn't demand to finish out every film no matter how crappy.

Actually, it'd probably be a lot easier to slow it down to half speed, though I'm too lazy to figure out what to use to do that because I don't think I will be transcribing more things, I type fast though so that is grand.

The dream

How are you finding the new expansion?

Had a horrible experience of continuing a previous Arena run after the update and having people playing with the new cards versus my old deck. Felt so unfair. Only have one draft under my belt with the new one so far.

Also screw them for nerfing Auctioneer

Btw, we're talking about an online turn based card game called Hearthstone, it's brilliant fun.

There does seem to be a bit of power creep all right, same thing happened to me with the old cards as I never play arena (haven't played it for a year)...give this freebie with the new cards a chance says I... so it went pretty well.

I really don't know much of the new cards yet but from the cards I drafted in this one run:

The main thing I noticed was the cards I had that had board effect were insane so i tried to draft a deck around that. I had a bomb lobber


and goblin blast mage



These were sick with the likes of duplicate and cheap mechs. Along with that I had a brew to bounce it back.
After this I found that Piloted sky golem



was insane for me (I duplicated it and twice it got this overcharged charging yeti thing).

When it was used against me it traded with my whole board as when it died it summoned a piloted shredder



which was just insane. His one card turned into 3 and wiped my board.





I certainly think a lot of the new cards are very fun, and it brings a lot to the game, there will be so much variety and funny plays now looking through these cards.
There is a lot of RNG but I think it's good RNG for the game, makes it fun for all levels of skill.

Bit lame about auctioneer all right, didnt need to nerf him, as you could have seen how strong he was with all the new cards first. Miracle rogue could just be dead already without it. I'm not complaining though as I dusted a few of them!
