I think its OK that they gave it to someone who could/should be perceived as a negative influence, it's not just a 'heart of goodness' award.

You're of course right; by default, top Brit award should be perceived as top cunt award by the rest of the world

Was forever thus etc...

I can remember her being on a Sunday radio show where she defended the campaign to have those particular criminals released as politicals. Which was odd as it is widely believed they were on an unauthorized lifestyle funding solo run when they gunned down Gerry McCabe in cold blood.

Knew a mate of McCabes when I lived in Cork around 2004 and that was the accepted fact of the case

Feck, just broke my lenovo laptop screen, much hassle to replace?

At almost the exact same time I took my Acer Touchscreen out my laptop bag knowing the bag had dropped out the car before I left Letterkenny for Scotland at 7.45am. Screen smashed on it too. Was in bits. But the screen is actually only £75 to replace. What model is it and will check for you? I did my daughters brand new laptop screen that she cracked a few weeks after Christmas for £45 and replaces in 10 minutes. Was piss easy.

Not a good day for Airlines today with another plane gone missing. Poor people and their families. Hope its not a repeat of the last one

in any case, McAuley will be put back where he belongs now

and, given that his wife is actually a former SF representative, maybe some restorative justice will be handed out to him in jail. How fitting that would be.

[BobSloane]

Ah sure it alright then it was Free State money and dontchya know it was for the cause

How come some IRA guys were released early and some weren't. You might remember the case of John Morley and Henry Byrne

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_of_Henry_Byrne_and_John_Morley

gardai killed in a bank robbery pursuit in Roscommon in 1980. The killers were released in 2012 - don't think there was ever any question of them being released under good friday agreement whereas the McCabe killers seemed to be getting bargained for from the get go - despite the McCabe murder taking place in 1996.

Well, one of the guys originally found guilty(roscommon case), Peter Pringle, was released in 1995 after his conviction was overturned. I remember hearing ( very anecdotedly mind) that he was a son or nephew of some high up judge...? Any clue on that - after a quick search I can find no reference to it anyway

I don't know, it all seems a bit arbitrary alright

the McCabe killers must have been very high up in the IRA hierarchy as SF really put themselves out there for them (remember the constant treks to Roscommon by the likes of McGuinness and Ferris?). Heroes of the Struggle as Mrs McAuley can attest. Well, if she's capable of attesting anything from her hospital bed.

Henry Byrne and John Morley, two officers of the Garda Síochána, the police force of Ireland, were murdered on 7 July 1980 by alleged members of the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA)

Having glanced back at the wiki thing I see that the roscommon case involved the INLA instead of the IRA. Could the answer to my question be that simple?

Probably is. Kinda scratching my head to remember what happened to the INLA. AFAIR they did eventually declare themselves defunct but I think they had pretty much managed to kill each other in internecine strife by then anyway.

I'm still in shock that they gave it to someone that drinks beer and smokes fags.

...It doesn't look like anything sinister has occurred here...Although they still haven't released a huge amount about it...It really has been a disgusting year Aviation wise...I've to book a flight for my mam tonight/tomorrow...I wonder how many times she mentions this and says no I cant go...

[luckforsome]

...Sorry to hear about your loss Michelle...You've had quite a few stories about her this year, it seemed she really lived her life to the end which is nice...x

Dirt cheap flights to Argentina over on boards. €300 more or less.

I have been following that since friday.

Wait for the OMG, they sold me a ticket and have to honor it posts once Lufthansa cancel them, which i would guess is a 99% possibility.

better call joe.

They do pick up some serious deals from time to time. I havent really read over that thread to see the details of the deal so I cannot comment.

What i get a good giggle out of is when this scenario happens, someone mentions how they phoned up and spoke to someone about the misprice, to see if it will be honored etc, now...most of these boards deals come from hotukdeals/holiday guru etc anyway, just reposted to boards, there are tens of thousands of views already on those misprices, not just the 17 people that replied on boards. All hell breaks loose.

People are idiots.

[BobSloane]

Slightly odd fact -One of the main characters from the corner, DeAndre, played the part of Lamar, Brother Mouzanes bodyguard in the wire. Sadly died in 2012 of heroin overdose.

^^
(Probably not very interesting but I just discovered this in the last few hours)

...and DeAndres mother Fran Boyd ended up marrying Donnie Andrews in 2007. He was the inspiration for Omar Littles charcter in the wire and died in 2012 too. Bubbles and McNulty were at the wedding. Small world

[RichieM]

Another €300 on shoes, shirts, belt, today. Most expensive interview prep ever. Wife is trying to push things and suggesting getting a manicure 'people look at your shoes first and nails second' apparently.

Hope you looked her dead in the eye and deadpan delivered "that is exactly the order I noticed you in so I guess your right"

My nonsense grooming tip for interviews is to brush your teeth twice before. Ideally the second time just before you go in.

It will make you smile more apparently as your teeth feel cleaner and your interviewers will like you more if you smile.

[Jam-Fly]

Terry is still one of the best CBs in the world if playing a certain system imo...unfortunately a high line is not that system. Asking for trouble if you're setting up like that.

[hotspur]

Ah the INLA, the nut popcorn paramilitary group in Ireland. From Dominic Mad Dog McGlinchey to Dessie The Border Fox O'Hare, to the wonderful feud with the splinter IPLO, they really were a fun organisation to follow.

I took the old screen out and put the part number into ebay to make sure I had the right one. Was no problem at all.

[DeadParrot]

A rather snazzy Paul Smith suit acquired. Down from €800 to €400. If the original price can be believed then it's now my most expensive possession.

where did ya get it?
Thinking of pulling the trigger on wedding suits during the sales.

[luckforsome]

Maybe a ferry instead

...I was waiting for you to answer 😃...ferry not really an option, going to Florida...Related question for you though...My mam was suppose to be flying to Florida on January 18th-February 19Th...But we are goijgvtk have to change the first leg and fly her in the next 6 days...(sister about to pop a month early)...I remember you mentioning the same situation about changing one of the flights, did you encounter many problems when doing it...And is it a case of one quick phone call to get it changed or is it a big issue?...

[DeadParrot]

I used to live off the Top 100 list on Piratebay. Is there anything similar doing the rounds? I've just been browsing the usual suspect sites above and some others, and looking for films i like, but wouldn't mind a 'go to' like i used to!

Got to say Three UK are the dogs bollocks! I was trying to top up online and I was registering the phone first. I got the password sent via text and logged in and it said it was wrong. Done this five times and it locked me out.

I rang Three and it wont let you register a card over the phone so I spoke to someone about the online system locking me out. She said she would sort the card and when she heard it was a non UK card she couldn't do it. She asked if I could top up with someone elses card and I said it was ok, I would have to drive to a shop and it was more of the inconvenience that was annoying me.

She went away for a minute and came back and said a £10 credit for my hassle was being added to my account so I could keep in touch with my family while here! Applied and all already. What a service

I hope you let the Mrs pick the shirt judging by your SBP/PTSB shill effort!!

Pick up a decent overcoat to round things off. Strellson would suit a man of your build.

Watch Redzone. It's like a live highlights show. The only way to watch the Sunday games.

Watch Redzone. It's like a live highlights show. The only way to watch the Sunday games.

Just on this, Redzone will be very dramatic now with 4 teams looking for a playoff spot and 2 of them losing and the Texans only up by 4 points. There could be lots of leap frogging and late drama. All games have abut 12 mins left so only about 40mins left.

Just when he seems to be getting something going at Newcastle the last 6 weeks. Surely be crazy to move to a club who is likely to go down?

Ravens up by 2 scores with the ball and Chargers down by two scores without the ball. All over, just waiting for the fat lady. Fucking Bills beat the Pats! Still get home advantage but would be nice to finish with a win.

[dobby]

Stick with Redzone for the evening kick offs too Bob, I think there's 5 games and 3 will have serious playoff drama happening.

[ArmaniJeans]

Redzone is on Sky Sports 5 (and they are even showing it without ad breaks).

Yep, was just reported as "questionable" with a calf injury. And they got a TD in the last seconds of the 1st half.
