Going on a stags to Westport in a couple of weeks time, with pretty much the same bunch of lads I went to Lahinch with, excited about it.

[a-k-47]

You think its fake because some conspiracy lunatic on the internet says so?

No because i watched it and it looked fake, then i checked for debunk vids.

[Guest]

Yeah, I agree, the town is a bit of a shit hole alright. We had a few boats hired out which made it fun.

Ya was a boat cruise which went up and down the river few drinksetc but wouldnt take any lads. Was just full of women.
Should have reported the fuckers for inequality.
The people on the boats spend feck all the stags and hens booze like its the last day on earth.

[Mellor]

You're the same age as me so would have been around 14/15 when that show was on. Surprised you don't know it. Kelly would have been pretty high up on a lot of guys hit list at that age!

I was middle of primary school, and can confirm she was hitlisted by everyone at hat agw too. Not that he had a clue for the list was for.
A close second was, I think, Tiffany, from California dreams.
Wonder how she's looking now.

Fair enough. I'm just skeptical of all skeptics.

Had a great one in Clifden 9 years ago.
We went sea fishing and the sea was like glass caught a shit load of fish.
The highlight being me catching and unhooking a seagull without klling it or getting an eye pecked out.
Helped that there was a tag rugby tournament on there.

Not new, they did it for a couple of seasons then stopped for a while but brought them back last year, wales v france I think. Ireland playing Wales on a Friday night in 2016 in Cardiff. Think it's only Cardiff and maybe Paris that have had them. I like it, nice to have sport on a friday night.

French tv move years ago that has now evolved. Good for Friday nights which is such an untapped TV market imo but with 3 games weekly there was nothing wrong with how it had been. Again, imo.

AFAIK PL/Sky/BT are hitting that market from 2016. Dunno if its a slot to bid for or shared. Think Germany and France already do it.

EDIT - I mean time slot not market. Could also be wrong. Unlikely though.

Went to Clifden a couple of years ago, three couples, was real nice.

Went out sea fishing too, myself, my mate, two Polish lads and a skipper, was hell. I'm not a fan of fishing anyway, can't even touch the things, had to get my mate to unhook the fuckers, this was my idea of way less than a good time but he booked it so didn't want to let him down.

The rest of the gang stayed behind, we got up Sat morn hungover to fook at about 8am and headed out on this boat. Fucking freezing cold, I took my socks off and used them as gloves. Skipper dude pulled in off Inis Boffin and we'd anchor for a while, catch a few then move off. Calm enough conditions.

This went on for about six hours, catch a few, move off, catch a few more, move off again. All the time freezing my bollix off. We ended up with more fish than tribeca before heading in.

At this point the Atlantic was like a heaving boiling liquid trampoline, water spraying all over the place, shit sliding all over the deck. We were hanging on for dear life, no life jackets on. It was real fucking scary. Good hour trip back.

My mate was gripping on to the frame of the toilet door when the door slammed shut and chopped the top of his finger off, he was two feet away from me screaming in agony and I could hardly hear him with the roar of the ocean.

Even the skipper had a look of 'I'm about to die' fear in his face.

I'll never do that shit again.

Our haul was pretty apt I thought.

A load of Pollocks.

Saw some dolphin though which was nice.

EPL looking to put some games on Friday nights next season I think. Not sure if it'll be an exclusively Sky slot (a la Monday Night Football)?

[TheDrunkenOne]

Time for bed.

Had to read that Knowledge is bacon, Francis Power post 3 times before I got it.

BT have taken the CL from Sky so if it is up Sky will win that auction probably.

Late Late show or Football?

Tubridy or Neville?

A reason to hate Fridays or another reason to love Fridays?

Yay 2016.

At least you didn't name a season from The Wire. Not as wrong as you could have been.

Looking forward to Better Call Saul?

Haven't watched either, will queue them up.

Yeah my expectations are pretty low for it tho. Hopefully I'll be suprised. House of cards season 3 coming, expectations low for that also.

Watched first episode of fortitude last week I like the look of it. Must download next one when I get home

Better Call Saul has unusual rave reviews, Journos got to see first few episodes and collectively wanked over it.

Can't wait for House of Cards. Orange Is The New Black too, like omg.

[eamonhonda]

Go way with your Orange is the new black ya qware. The journos are more than likely yanks, yanks are fucking idiots.

Haven't seen it in years. But yes after a Google you are right. There was another really nice one can't remember her name

[eamonhonda]

Ruby. Charlie was alright aswell.

[CHDad]

Ruby. Charlie was alright aswell.

Charlie was amazing but too old for us m8. Samara Weaving instead.

If you want to know about the men of Home and Away, PM The C Kid.

[Dice75]

Lot of male supermodels here it seems. My disclaimer is i was told that Swedish bird looked like Mila Kunis ( i only vaguely remember her from Ted). Anyway after seeing your disparaging remarks i decided to show her to a few IPB heads around and see. Photo was marked down, real life was 8-9 /10 it seems. I do personally doubt if Honda would get his pants off in time.

[eamonhonda]

Haha best get another photo then!

Started freaking out a bit (a lot) doing a list last night of what needs to be done with moving country. When I moved to England in 2007 packed a backpack with two shirts, socks, underpants, and a book. Got on the plane and that was it. Seems exponentially more complex now.

Are you getting an agent to help with finding accommodation? Most french rentals (from my time in Paris anyway) are unfurnished.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

...

[Mike]

Think the uni will get me an agent. Yeah, the unfurnished bit is another worry (and on the list!) as we don't own anything. Actually would you, or anyone else, have any knowledge as to whether agent fees count as 'moving expenses'? The fees seem vastly excessive.

They did in my case. Fees are high, welcome to France!

Add a mortgage and a house sale in for size

I'm taking the minimalist approach, I'm taking two cases with me and everything else is being sold/given away/dumped whichever is the least amount of hassle.

The big pain is timing accounts and closing of same, and this endless wait (every day is a like a week at this stage)

[Emmet]

just bought a wallet made out of cork, such a hippy.

Bought some soap yesterday, said "Vegan Friendly" on it. Are yee that desperate you eat soap?

Also they make you say thirty three and a third a lot.

That is true everywhere in the world. Seriously I feel like a circus act sometimes saying that or to be sure.
Has any Irish person in history ever said to be sure in a non ironic way or is it a culchie thing?

[Mickey Rosa]

Work internet down, colleagues I've never spoken to are now all up for chats.

In sligo for a stag weekend. Good spots to watch the rugby/drink?

Chatting to a guy yesterday, told me he is living in "LetterKenya" now.

Must have missed it in my time away. Where are you going?

Moving to Malta, going to alternate between sitting sipping Espressos or wine depending on the time of day

[RichieM]

Quit pretending it's a career advancement hitch. We a know you are secretly moving to France to be closer to retirement.

[Raoul Duke III]

Q1: why did he leave Rennes?! Between him and Strewels niece, that's a 100% sample of people known indirectly who have left rather than moved to Rennes.

Suppose the key question would be: what area is nice, good nursery schools, good cafes? A bit busy. Generally most enjoyable district to live in, assuming you rely on public transport.

Silly question I know but do you speak French? If not I recommend youtube videos of 'Allo 'Allo for an immersive learning experience.

Like it happens everywhere around the world, He left a small town to go work in the big city like most young people do.

Re schools, if you're putting her in state school, then where you live determines where she goes. The better the area, usually means the better the school (this is very relevant in the later years, not so much in early primary school). Not sure but there might also be a private "international" school, as they're popping up everywhere nowadays.

If your daughter is 3 this year (and potty trained), then she will go straight to school come september.

i'll find out the rest. If i were you though, i would pass my driving test asap, as you're really going to struggle in Rennes without a car, and you'll be missing out on the best part of living in Rennes which is having all of Brittany on your doorstep.

It's a fair point to be sure, and as soon as I find a promenade cafe there that will serve me wine at 9am I'll be sure to put in practice

[ghostface]

You're the same age as me so would have been around 14/15 when that show was on. Surprised you don't know it. Kelly would have been pretty high up on a lot of guys hit list at that age!

Kelly Kapowski and Jet from gladiators surely the top 2 from that period.
