Well you'd still be better off using xbmc for your downloaded stuff playing it from your nas is you insist. You still have the yatze remote and all the extras I mentioned.

I assumed it was a few clicks for you, didn't mean for you to be traipsing around for what is just a bit of fun.

Just in case you are ever curious, on pp you can check your max bet without depositing.
Oh and the politics have a max bet of a few hundred .
Dublin North Central for a fiver at 12(maybe 15)/1 for highest yes vote since I'm voting here and that is one locked in. Any other tips hotspur?

In other questions of the day I'm looking to buy a bike and kick on with my help buzz pretty sure I don't qualify for the bike to work scheme as I'm self employed/freelance which sucks as I'd spend the max to get a good bike, with that in mind any bikes I should be looking at/avoiding? Was up in wheelworx today having a look at a couple and did see a nice Trek I'm interested in buying.

I lived there

Grouse Grind
Davie Village, good spot if you are there while the referendum is going on
Stepho's is in this area, maybe the best greek food you'll ever have
Gigs
Pier Night Markets, food, music, craft beer etc
[IMG]Granville Island Brewery, actuall of of granville is great, get one of the weird one man ferries over to it[/IMG]
Chinatown Vancouver, I think it's 2nd largest in north America
Stanley park as mentioned, hire a bike. It's an excellent spot when the sun is shining. Lots of indigenous art etc there.

Slightly jealous

Ah I see. 500 says max bet exceeded. 139 says insufficient funds. Will put it on now. So it's cavan monaghan no @8/11.

The little black box that says "max", click that , it will autofil.

Even if Cavan were as liberal as hell you would have to think that the fear of having to buy a few more wedding presents would make it a lock for them.

There also should be a max button somewhere on the screen, it tells you the maximum you can bet - a really handy thing that.

[Denny Crane]

I know a councillor in Carlow that's constantly updating about how hard they're canvassing in the by-election but no mention of the referendum, presume it's a quiet no for them?

If Carlow were set to vote 80%+ yes/no I'm sure they'd be jumping on that bandwagon, too easy to alienate people when the winning % is likely in the 50s

Was up in wheelworx today having a look at a couple and did see a nice Trek I'm interested in buying.

I have a trek 7.2 hybred. I had a Trek 7.1 before this!. Im a Trek man me. Its a cross between a mtb and road bike. Good for commuting and city cycling. You wont be breaking any speed records but you dont feel every bump you would on a standard racer either as its a more robust bike yet still stylish.
Just a word of warning the first 2 weeks your arse will be killing you so id consider getting a gel seat cover to put over the saddle to combat this in the initial stages.

Go in somewhere and say you have cash and bargain with them for a discount, a sale is huge to them and you will always get a discount of 10-20% once you say your able to cycle away today.

Also make sure to get Schwalbe Marathon plus tyres on them(€40-50 each) as you dont get punctures with these. They have Kevlar lining in them so even glass and nails wont get you a puncture. If your not doing well on the discount ask them to throw in the 1st service for free or a decent lock etc.

[Denny Crane]

You must use the bicycle and safety equipment mainly for qualifying journeys. This means the whole or part (for example between home and train station) of a journey between your home and your normal place of work. Employers do not have to monitor this but you will be asked to sign a statement saying that the bicycle is for your own use and will be mainly used for qualifying journeys.

question about Hybrid bikes

Most of them look like slimmed down mountain bikes with flat bars and mountain bike/street gearing

A mate used to have one that was more like a racer with thicker wheels, racing handle bars and close to a racing gearing

Anyone rec a decent priced on of those?

If you don't qualify for a bike to work scheme bike, get a 2nd hand one, lots of good abandoned BTW scheme ones out there. Get a good lock if you plan on leaving it anywhere it could be stolen from

This

Bike to work means that there are a whole range of bikes priced just at the 900ish pricepoint and thousands of barely used year old ones for sale SH.

Belgium(non ipb friend) and Finland(riggs) are the tip of tonight. Both to qualify pls and ty.

I don't think that letter could be real, name and shame if it is.

The lad I was on about yesterday wrote a letter to the IT defending Breda o'Brien in the lead up to her screwing the licence payer for her hurt feelings...

Think the one I was looking at was 7.3 and it looked pretty sweet, rang my accountant to see if there is any wiggle room to write it off he said he'll look into it there is a guy I know who use to work in Eurocycles who said he could get a deal from somebody who still works there but their selection of bikes wasn't all that.

See in that wheelworx place they guarantee all their work and free service for life which is pretty cool, more details on it HERE

Will certainly look into it, defo plan on getting a solid ulock and told the guy if I buy the bike I'd like the quick release swapped out just for that added bit of security.

[NewApproach]

Obv the most +EV thing to do is buy a good lawnmower with the bike to work scheme and pick up a good bike secondhand from someone who got one through the scheme but never uses it

Hey Danny, my cousin has a bike shop on Patrick Street. P and K Cycles
I'm sure he would do you a good deal if you are anywhere near there. Call in and ask for Keith and tell him I sent you.

Also on the Eurovision,.... loving the Serbian entry so far. Could go really well on Saturday.

Of course it is real. There is hundreds of backward thinking idiots in this country capable of writing that letter. They will be patting themselves on the back furiously after the publicity it got too.

haha I did the same as yourself! on for €12.50 e/w at 150/1 - still 100/1 on places

edit: they are still 33/1 to win tonights semi final, gonna throw something small on that too.

[mdoug]

Ah was just playing multiple tourneys with him today and he scooped one of them(bubbled another lol), was just wondering if he was on here as I rarely see players from here really.

If you pay PAYE you are eligible for bike2work. If you are make sure you spend the full amount on the bike and only the bike. You only get one chance every 5 years and it's pointless to waste it on stuff you will be replacing every 12-18 months.

First question is what do you intend to do with the bike? If its for fitness stuff I would suggest a proper road bike (though probably with a touring rather than racing geometry unless you want to go racing). If it's for hacking around get yourself a CX or hybrid (I lean towards CX because I prefer the drop bars and STI style shifters).

Don't get a mountain bike unless you are going to get it very very very dirty!

Watched couple of films over the weekend that are well worth a watch, Ex Machina and then What We Do in Shadows which is a mockumentary about vampires sharing a house in NZ, very funny. Watching Overnighters now, it feels pretty creepy for some reason

[Fiery Wasabi]

You can have a look at all the entries here...http://eurovisionworld.com/?eurovision=songs_videos

I'm not liking the bookies favourite at the moment (Sweden)..I think Serbia or Russia will go really close. I definitely won't be wasting any money looking for a hometown victory.

Sounds too good to me. I sense its a play with words. 'Lifetime Parts Warranty'. ''So we tightened your brakes and checked your cables €20. We oiled the chain and necessary parts €16. Checked gears, pedals and tightened brakes €16. No new parts.

Oh you thought you had 'Free Servicing For Life'? ah no you cant have both promotions its either one of the other. We can always switch you over to 'Free Servicing For Life'. In which case you need a new derailer, brake cables, brakes and pedals!.

It must be some effort for Ronan Mullen and the other dickheads on the No side of the Prime Time debate to keep themselves from flat out saying 'look, we don't like Gays because they are scary hence why you should vote No'. I almost admire their restraint in not overtly stating their obvious hate and prejudice.
