Do I have to cycle up in a tracksuit?

Managed to get €500 on the gay bet in a shop.

Asked what the max was. She said there isn't a max.

So I said I'll put a €1000 on so. I've never seen anyone reach for a phone so fucking quick. After a minute on the phone she goes 'I don't know he is wearing a suit'

Max bet €500. Cunts.

[Denny Crane]

Max of 500 is actually really good.

What do I need to write on a betting slip for this Gay Bet?

The gays
Unders on turnout
5/6
€all of it

The gays
Unders on passing %
5/6
€some more

[Tar.Aldarion]

I've never made a bet, I would be clueless in there.
My bosses bought our company, pretty nice I think, they are awesome.

[Denny Crane]

Not convinced on the turn out bet at all

[Denny Crane]

Presumably if you write up the bet as the "the gays" you should be able to get more loots on.

[DeadParrot]

Not convinced on the turn out bet at all

you think turnout will be high?
apathy will play a huge part in this market
I think the two bets are very much linked

Vodafone.co.uk doing a decent deal on S5 and HTC M8. Maybe it was posted before.

Combine with £8ish unlock code and Parcel Motel and you get a super phone sim free.

Excellent, the battery on my HTC One M7 has began to weaken considerably.

Is the M8 still the nut phone on the market or has it been surpassed by something else?

Sony experience z3 compact is really sweet, great battery life and camera. Real purdy too. Really nice size for your pocket too

No idea if it is the nut phone but I read in a number of places that it is better than the S5.

Just drag the file onto your Chrome browser and it will play on your browser and hence your Chromecast.

edit: ignore Fiend, listen to my advice instead, mine has more words in it

Excellent. I didn't know you can do this, thank you both.

I can play anything straight from my laptop onto the TV downstairs, but that's a great addition to the chromecast upstairs.

Girl Band structure their songs with sparse, shouty vocals, over intense noise textures and soundscapes which develop around repetitive groves. Their live show is known for being loud, intense and energetic.

Sounds like hell.

Is it at least called a workshop? Ridiculous carry on.

Based on what Opr was saying the other day about Foxcatcher not being the full version, are there actually any proper screeners of it doing the rounds?

I think this is the least apathy inducing referendum there has been in years and years.

The low turn out, and particularly low turn out amongst yes voters, is being taken as fact. I am very unconvinced.

[pokerhand]

Thought I never type this but tech help needed, O mighty BBV.

Have a newish Samsung galaxy tab 4 (brought 4 months ago). When not plugged in the screen flickers and if really bad flickering the tablet should shut down. Not convinced it is a battery issue as this happens after a full charge also... However it appears fine if I keep it plugged in.


Tablet is white.

[Hatedajacks]

The Gambler was a bit shit imo.

Watch Pride first. It's such a great movie

Ya, I have that and it's definitely one to be watched soon, but the missus is more keen on some others. We'll likely watch Birdman and The Hobbit (ya, I know, but we've seen the other two) this weekend anyhow, and watch others over the next few weeks.

[Guest]

Birdman, Foxcatcher and Black Hat. Local cinema will be getting a nice bit of biz out of me in the coming weeks, hopefully all 3 will hit the mark

Only found out today that the Johnny Depp whitey bulger movie is based on the book Black Mass, which is a great read. Makes me a bit more hopeful as Depp has been ropey as fuck for a while now

[ComradeCollie]

You haven't shilled anything this much since PTSB. Do you have shares in it or something?

Kinda uncomfortable with the subject matter myself. That time always reminds me of the a strike around the same time, when my eldest brother spat on my dad on the picket line, calling him a scab. Obviously I didn't witness it, but it was not nice just knowing about it.

Don't watch 'Tusk'. He sunk to a new low in that.

[Lazare]

Anyone else find it a little strange that guys that were able to do this,



from this range,



under that sort of pressure, were capable of leaving behind their photo id?

Seems odd.

[ComradeCollie]

leaving behind their photo id?

Seems odd.

Was it not a cousins ID? That may have wasted a few hours of police time, though I suppose any ID would have had the same effect. There has been a smorgasbord of conflicting information today. Multiple reports of Mosque and Synagogue bombings all day, and then nothing confirmed.

30-40 yard range with a rifle on auto or semi auto burst, would be no problem with minimal training. I used a number of rifles and handguns on the range (25yds for handguns & 100yds for rifles/machine guns) and would have no problem with that sort of accuracy. Under pressure, I guess it depends on the training and skill, which is the unknown in this case.

[hotspur]

Plus you have to account for Allah (all praise be unto him) guiding the bullets in his infinite mercy. God is not only great, he's a great shot too when things turn a bit tasty.

Their skill and professionalism is pretty obvious don't you think?

There is no civilian training or any range that can train someone to shoot that accurate under that intense, insane pressure, not a chance.

People like that don't go on the mission with their ID card in their side pocket and they certainly don't allow it to fall down beside the handbrake.

I wouldn't say it's obvious from that photo, they might have shot 500 bullets in total before this incident or they might have shot 20000, there is know way for us to know. If I have an automatic rifle aiming from the shoulder and I am up against a cop with a handgun from 30-40 yards I wouldn't be particularly scared. It's very hard to hit anything from that sort of range with a handgun.

Range training doesn't normally teach you about being under fire so I can't comment on that type of pressure. Although I did shoot on a range that had video mock set ups of armed robberies/muggings etc and you had to react to the situation. Obviously there is extra pressure to do the right thing but you're not in mortal danger so you can't know how you handle the real thing from that.

The ID card is a strange one, did they leave it on purpose? Who is to know?

'people like that' fuck up all the time. Super elite killing machines that don't make the odd clanger of a mistake only exist in the movies.

Birdman is terrific, every aspect of the filmmaking process is superb, acting, lighting, music, cinematography all excel.
The third act does drag a little but I found it to be very funny and Keaton is just so good in it.
