    I don't like him, though I wouldn't doubt his genuineness at all.

          Daily free bin collections are a fantastic idea though
          Industrial sized wheelie bins placed all around this area are picked up every night. Everything except glass goes into it, glass is collected weekly from one of those big bins that they have in Ireland.
          Great that rubbish is not kept for longer than you need to in the house, especially with the temps here but I got used to recycling paper/metal/compost and its a great shame that they don't do that here.

            Episode 5 ? Didnt think it was anything special myself. What did i miss ?

            On the Damian Dempsey thing, i really enjoy his voice and music, never seen him live though. That rawness, singing about the downtrodden, the working man, the people that get left behind, a very typical concept in songwriting.

              It was 28 degrees on Friday when we kicked off, 2 hours of running sauntering around in that does wonders for weight loss....



              ...at least until you get to the cheap pizza and beers later on anyway
              2.5 hours tonight, although I played in net for the last 15-20 minutes so not quite as impressive.

              Weight difference of 1.1kg before and after the game despite drinking nearly a litre of water throughout! Now if I can keep playing twice a week and cut out food altogether imagine the progress I would make

              Helps that I start with the same weight as a baby elephant I suppose

                5.9 million lotto won in the Midlands and no sign of sat nav on here .

                Now that would be a fly on the wall doc worth watching if a camera crew were to follow sat nav around as she worked her way through 5.9 mill.

                        NFL punishments are very very strange. Beat the shit out of your missus 2 games suspension. Miggt have deflated footballs with little evidence to back it up 4 games massive fine and draft picks taken away. Hilarious

                          Was watching the Final Table of the iPOPS Main Event, and must be pretty sick when a guy 5bet shoves 77 into you holding KK and gets there to literally steal €22k from your hand!

                          Suicidal ICM shove from the 77 too with the shorty all-in for 1bb, and the payouts are €55k, €33k, €22k

                                          Rewatched all of the wire last week, and this week am rewatching all of game of thrones.
                                          GOT > The Wire on rewatching imho. Didn't like the wire as much second time round but GOT stayed strong

                                            As of yesterday, I'm up to the end of GOT season 4 in the books.
                                            I also have S5E1-5 on the box ready to go.
                                            I have to decide now whether to hold off on S5 and read ahead or just say fk it and watch S5.

                                              It's starting to deviate more and more from the books. At this stage it would be easier to consider them separate entities (plus its a hell of a read to go through books 4 and 5).

                                                Yeah, i figure books 4 and 5 will be two months reading at least.
                                                I've noticed it deviated a bit towards the end of S4/Book3p2

                                                  I guess the real 'problem' will be next year when the tv series out paces the books. Which do you consider canon then?

                                                  Most of the tv changes seem to be designed around minimising the number of new characters they need to introduce (which makes sense for tv).

                                                      I say watch S5, then read the books. I think you will appreciate books 4 and 5 more when you can see the depth involved.

The idea that it's just backward nutjob catholic bigots and homophobes that are voting is no is far from the truth.

Either Spar's idea of a special offer is a bit off, or there's been a spectacular inflation in the perceived value of Lynx.

I leave it disabled then turn it on when I specifically want it. It used to be great when it just automagically figured out you were gonna get geoblocked and did its thing.
