Is there a 4G version of the 2nd gen yet?

[Guest]

Got the wifey one after her nexus 4 went smashy smashy. There's a H+ in the corner which I think means 4G?

Anyway seems like a very solid phone for the money.

Nope. That's the best band of 3G. Would appear as a 4 beside the bars.

4G is completely worth it if you have coverage where you live/work.

H+ is just normal internet for me. It's all I get at the moment. MrsF's nexus shows 4G/Lite so that's what you're aiming for!

HSDPA Plus, about 21 meg internet, well fast enough for any phone use for me.
Cool, cheers. O2 dont even have 4g yet where I am and I'm not in a hurry to have a phone with it. I also work with 4g R&D on our products every day. zooom

Anyone been to Lyon? Visit-worthy?

I understand it's all about food which would do nicely. Looking at a Sept 10-year () anniversary weekend thing. Shraaaaap?

Speaking of banned wagons , wonder how Michelle smith is these days, nearly took up the butterfly back then

I spent a couple of days there some years ago. Had a couple of the best meals I ever had there, well one there and one about 50Km down river in Valance.
I could try to locate the place in Lyon for you but now that I think of it its actually more like a dozen years ago

I'd stumbled into this restaurant and couldn't make head nor tail of the main courses on the menu so I tried to point to a fish dish that someone was eating at the next table and when he got confused I tried to explain what I really didn't want was the hideous looking sausage like thing comprising what appeared to be chunks of half cooked bits of a variety of animal genres boiled in an actual intestine.
Obv he brought me the sausage instead of the fish and not being willing or able to argue I ate it. It turned out to be tres magnifique.

Ah heeyor...My Oneplus has only ever shown H+ on O2...Whats going on!

[Guest]

Seems O2 don't have 4G....ffs.

Should now surely? 3 took them over a while ago.

[Guest]

Not until June according to their forum.

[Tar.Aldarion]

yeah they don't, I scan the airwaves in work (to detect what band is best for my illegal 4g network ) for 4g and not even 3 are in the area. O2 customers are generally told "soon"

[FeetMagic]

I'm paid to watch these things, don't think I can take as much credit as the lunatics stalworths that were up in an hour for work.

What do you work as? Have you ever done a well? Down you go...

[Raoul Duke III]

surely Vegas is the spot for a 10yr gig?

Mrs D isn't a fan of Vegas (probably didn't help that she was pregnant at the time of her only visit). Plus the window of kid-dumpage is two days, hence feeding my family with the finest fodder yesterday. Metagame baby.

[Guest]

San Sebastian and a trip to Mugaritz maybe?

[The Situation]

Doing one of those is my idea of hell so no thanks

[DeadParrot]

Ah heeyor...My Oneplus has only ever shown H+ on O2...Whats going on!

LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40

VF have an allocation on band 3 but I dont think they have it out yet

[DeadParrot]

[RichieM]

Is Martin Keown just making up rules?

[Strewelpeter]

Why do RTE feel the need to go any further than saying that lad who was shot in Walkinstown was not the intended target?

Fucking journos, the only profession with lower standards than lawyers

What did they say? On 6pm that all they said i think?

[wicklowp]

Said his son and partner were in the house at the time

[DeadParrot]

If it doesnt touch him you're not allowed to complain. THATS THE RULES.

[Dice75]

Said his son and partner were in the house at the time

As in insinuating his son was the target?

[Strewelpeter]

As in insinuating his son was the target?

No, no just that he wasn't known to the Guards as a gangland criminal or for drugs inferring that he had some sort of convictions under his belt.

[ghostface]

There was a strange line in the earlier version of the IT story that was along the lines of 'he also has another adult son who lives somewhere else in Dublin'. Had no relevance to the story at all it seemed

Heading to Majorca next month for work. Any recommendations for things to do or see?

I'd prefer to play UTD anyway. Better chance of beating them than PHE.

Looks like the BBV was drained of all it's power after last night's cricket.

needs a recharge IMO

Hoping NZ bat first so I can see it but Williamson top NZ batsman 10/3 is my interest bet!

Damn you McCullum bowling first. They could have hit the Scots for 400+ the way they're playing.

Irish times are running with 2 potential theories:

He had been investigated as part of a criminal inquiry some years ago; though no criminal charges were pressed.

Gardaí are now trying to establish if anything had happened in his personal life to make him a target for the men who attacked him last night.

Detectives are also examining his past in an effort to assess if any historical issue may have flared of late and been the reason why he was gunned down last night.

and

Gardaí are investigating if a 64-year-old man was shot dead at his home in Walkinstown, Dublin on Sunday night because an associate was involved in the drugs trade.

Efforts are being made to establish if Eddie Nugent was shot in a case of mistaken identity by a killer targeting another man.

Detectives have not ruled out the possibility that the gunman shot indiscriminately at Mr Nugent in an attack designed to frighten someone else.

If Garda suspicions are borne out in the coming days as the investigation progresses, the shooting may be linked to a recent drug seizure. A well known west Dublin drugs gang has apparently blamed Mr Nugent’s associate for drugs and cash being seized in a Garda operation.

It's not stupid either though
