Some joker on boards.ie claiming to be a degenerate gambler after losing a $600 bet and $5k on poker at $200/$400. I call bullshit on that AMA/Well anyway. It honestly sounds like he just had a bit of craic for a year after leaving school. No mention or sign of degeneracy.

Not liking your linking of Rebelram's thread on there. He decided to tell us about his issues, doesn't seem fair to him to have it put elsewhere and wider imo.

It's a public forum and relevant to the thread in question. It's not like I started a thread especially to highlight his post.

If he's looking for gametime, Connacht should be busting their balls to get him up there. They're struggling at 10 this season, which is irritating because almost all the rest is going well! (Not for that kinda money though. No chance)

I could see how you might post the link unthinkingly, but pretty bad form not to take it down imo. People here aren't faceless strangers, use a bit of discretion.

Doubt he'd be that hard to get, currently destroying Napoli.

'Destroying' = 24 points from 14 games and 5th, 2pts off CL qualifying spot? 'Destroying' = their first trophy in a while last year?

Your Rafa hate is ridiculous. Previous two seasons in two different leagues he secured 3rd place and a trophy. He's not Ferguson / Mourinho good, but he's solid.

Never really liked the smell of you; assumed it was cause you were a jumped up united fan and left it.

Turns out it was because you're a bit of a cunt

Provably should have known, what with you being a united fan and all


As Keane said; this isn't really that public a forum, I'm the most faceless on here & even the rigger has met me

Is XBMC still the standard for HTPC's?
I've ordered the projector, mount and screen, to be delivered before christmas. Looking to have a PS4 and HTPC as the input - something that could auto download torrents etc.

On another note, are all property solicitors, slow, laboursome, devoid of initiative, or is it just the one who I employed to act on my behalf.
Been attempting to close a house for the guts of nine months now. For the first seven any time I requested an update the ball was in the vendors court, then when they had their shit sorted it appeared that there was issues with regards to my mortgage approval etc. Nothing seems to get done unless I barrage with phone calls. Is this standard?

[Denny Crane]

Hitch better delete his account imo

[ArmaniJeans]

Jaysus Dobs, you've been here long enough to surely know that that's against the whole ethos of IPB.
No-one would ever posted most of the stuff they do if they thought it was going to be deliberately crosslinked on the biggest site in Ireland. Sure you might as well link to it on Rebel Rams facebook wall for his friends to see, that's the next logical step like.

As AJ said, it's the link to RebelRams post on the ama gamblers thread on boards.ie. I don't see the problem tbh as it is relevant to the topic being discussed and the guy doing the ama gave a good answer.

Ah right. I hadn't looked at that thread since yesterday. That's not particularly on imo. Dobman, you should really delete that over there although the horse has probably bolted on it.

However, posts as abusive as Elshambles are not helping the matter here.

[Megatron]

The post has been quoted a couple of times so there's no point in deleting it now.

I have no idea how to replace the shoe lace I've just snapped in my brogues. I don't know how to adequately describe shoe laces to Amazon in order to get a replacement pair.

This is phenomenally irritating.

Ok. I've deleted the post and have asked the guy to remove the link from his reply on your say so.

Why don't you think it's on linking something from here to there though? It's the same as linking anything from 2+2 or pokernews. This is a genuine question cos I honestly don't see the problem. It's not like I went off starting a thread about the goings on of IPB!

RebelRam posted that a long tiketime ago and it was relevant to the ama.

I've been working solid since 8AM Sunday morning now within one poxy step of having everything working and there is one thing stopping me. Just a few hours to shit or bust.
I'm having it easy compared to the other lad with me who got about three hours sleep last night and has now gone off to do a presentation that could take hours.

[Raoul Duke III]

On Monday I spent the day not realising it was Monday.

On Tuesday I went for lunch in a regular spot and ordered soup. The cafe was very busy and after 5 minutes I popped up to the counter to tell the manager "Hey James, I forgot to say no croutons in that Caesar Salad". I returned to my seat only to realise I had ordered the soup.

This morning I turn up for a 9am dentists appointment. I was a week early.

A random guy on 2+2, is a random, faceless, guy from the internet.
A poster from IPB isn't. It's exposing his post to a wider audience than he intended. Even if nobody that knows him ever sees it, it's not the point.
It's against the community aspect here.

Well technically, AMA is for asking questions, outing IPBuddys isn't really asking a question.

I wouldn't have posted the link, and I think its bad form to do so on balance, but essentially this:

This might be one of them horrible situations were you will have to go into a shoe shop. Or risk it and buy all of the shoe laces.

Dob, it would be like posting one of hitch's stories on a UCD thread on boards.
Most people on the BBV know one another quite well and they would feel comfortable posting serious issues. It's not a written rule that we don't repost, it's just expected we don't. Otherwise the BBV just wouldn't work.

Taking liberties with the word amazing there, it's a tad patronising to the guy.

[DeadParrot]

...Was looking around the Holland and Barrett website for a couple of minutes, specifically this Ginseng product that I think IPB have a share in hence the constant promotion...Anyway, went onto Sky Sports website, and there were ads popping up for exactly the product I was looking at...Would that be the Sky Sports website allowing them to advertise, or would there be some shite on my labtop that is doing it (virus/spam shite)?...

I dunno how anyone can use the web without an adblocker on their browser as standard

I'd say landlords transferring names of existing utilities is fairly standard with consent of user.

[DeadParrot]

It's not because society looks down on you, it's because you don't have a regular income and also the potential for losses from your job. If I applied for a mortgage with my missus now I wouldn't get one either as she is a teacher who isn't permanent although has not been unemployed in many years and I'm contracting at the minute so no permanent job, so I'd be in the same boat as yo despite being able to pay a similar downpayment on a house if I wanted to.

I'm not actually looking for (another) mortgage though thankfully.

Apparently CXC help with this (I dunno if you are with them, a few contractors I know are)

[Tar.Aldarion]

Anybody have any idea/opinion on what Irish Banks will say to me if I enquire about Buy to let Mortgages, given I am playing poker full time so have no "stable income", but am able to put down whatever % is required? Will they look at me at all or does no salary = they arent interested ?

Any opinions on pros/cons of buying outright vs getting a buy to let mortgage in my situation?

In general, not looking at a specific property/area

I was interested in buying outright vs getting a mortgage before. People didn't understand why a millionaire was getting mortgages. Some financial whizzes on reddit put forward a clear case of how a mortgage was always better as the remainder could easily earn more than you would lose during the mortgage. Wish I could find the thread but search on that site is a disaster.

Yeah as contracting has become more commonplace, banks have become a bit fairer in this regard. It's certainly not an instant refusal like back in the day.

Plus there's much better tax incentives in the US for having a mortgage.

We've a skewed view of property values here, really over the long term it massively under-performs other asset classes.
