Must have been some Islamic festival on in St Annes Park today. Rather bizarre to see as I cycled through with 8 y/o daughter - lots of women in abayas and niqabs, plus all the men praying facing Mecca. Kids all being kids in the normal way as you would expect.

I don't know, find myself being swayed more and more by the French attitude to secularism in public places.

tldr; I is possible racist.

Awesome. Crazy finish, and delighted they're in Europe next year, as they're a great side to watch

This no tipping thing is highly invigorating. A definite highlight of the first day.

I had never noticed that before (no frog has ever refused a tip of mine anyway although maybe they pocket the loots in a suitably disdainful way).

How's the lingo coming along? Will you be lecturing in Franglish?

Tech Help needed!

Since Tony has been having problems with his laptop dropping the internet and trying to ascertain if it is the laptop or the eircom xyzel fibre modem causing the problem we bought a Netgear D6200 wifi modem router the other day.

I followed the instructions and the green twisted cable sign flashes all the time and wont go solid. Obviously the line is grand as we have efibre but with the box on the wall we can't use the filter that comes as the eircom box has the splitter built in.

I get the message
"No DSL cable is plugged into the router ADSL port"

It is the AC1200 Dual band we were told to get for Eircom E-fibre

The spoiler is the netgear instruction...

Thanks in advance

SPOILER

Verify that the filter is properly connected. Note that phones should be connected in the socket labeled "phone" in the filter while your NETGEAR gateway/router should be connected to the one labeled "ADSL".
If there are many phones or fax machines in your house, make sure they are all going through filters similarly.
Make sure that the phone cable coming from the socket labelled "ADSL" in the filter is plugged to the respective grey port in the NETGEAR gateway/router. The yellow ports should be used exclusively for local wired devices like PCs or printers.
You can verify that the line is synchronizing by looking at the "twisted cable" line LED in the front display. It will blink green while trying to synchronize and remain solid green once synchronization is complete.
The "globe" internet LED will remain red until you finish setup. Once the line LED is solid green and the internet LED is solid red you should be able to continue the Genie Wizard setup.

Been drinking a lot of cider since arriving. Its spectacular stuff! Bought a bottle in the supermarket this morning (morning being the necessity as shops are seemingly only open until 1pm on Sundays ) for €4 that was like the nectar of the gods. The price being notably mainly because you could get a bottle of wine for €1.40.

A rather small pic of it.

Living the dream!

Best of luck with it all, seems equally exciting and terrifying .

From what I remember, the latest eircom installs have a wall outlet with the filter built in. So any DSL router *should* work with a phone cable plugged straight into the outlet on the left port. So bin the filter supplied with the modem and try again.

Pic of the outlet I'm talking about:

Big fan of that stuff. Top tip for entertaing small kids with cidre: pull the cork about 2/3 of the way out and say nothing. Within a minute the cork will fly off with great velocity. Think my record is about 25m. Best performed outdoors!

My love for Dublin Bus drivers grew immensely this weekend. The lady driver that brought us back from Slane dropped us off right outside the skylon instead of bringing us to O Connell street wbich was the only scheduled stop! Absolute legend that lady. We were destroyed in mud and soaked to the skin so we were utterly grateful.

Also, had good banter with mdoug's m8 on the bus. Him and my gf got into a bit of slagging about driving. He admits that he doesn't drive and was terrible when he tried. She says at least you're man enough to admit it. Bit of a pause then for about 3 seconds and he says but I'm still better than you. Boom! Great stuff.

Anybody watch the BBC show The Trip with Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan? Just finished the first series there. Genuine lols abound. Probably late to the party but I tend not to watch TV except for sport.

That is what I was saying. I am just using the eircom box as the filter they send has a different end.

I thought maybe it was the wire so I used the one from our current efibre and tried that with the same error.

Have you seen odds on Pendred anywhere? What would your book be?

No odds yet, i'd have him a slight dog now, as his opponent in fairly new and Pendred has been very flawed.
But I'll watch the other guy fight closer to the event and Cathal could become a slight fav imo, this one is actually more winnable than his previous 3

Yep, it's fantastic - can see it being something I'll rewatch every few years and notice an entirely different set of jokes.
Second series in Italy is even better imo.

Yeah its a bit of a scam they run on tourists - not mentioning that 15% tip is already included within the price of anything you see on the menu.

Work starts tomorrow, all in English. Not much teaching though luckily. Ten weeks of 12 hours per week teaching in the year, with the promise of dire things if the other 42 weeks don't produce decent research.

These are really cool. Ignoring the likely practicalities - that they start leaking, and all the stuff that is meant to work just breaks, but if not - I would happily live in one of these for a few years.

I'll be honest darwin m8, I still don't get it. Hozier sang all his own songs so of course he made them his own. He didn't cover any. I is tired, hungover and confused.

He's saying you sounded like you were scoring a talent contest. [Hozier] "nailed their songs" suggests they should be congratulated for how closely they were able to emulate their own material.

This was obviously a joke but I just logged into my gmail to find a long mail from Geoff White , technology journalist with C4 news saying he has come across some information about which he needs to alert me, followed by;

"I've been investigating the trade in personal data among cyber criminals, and have found what appears to be some sensitive personal information which seems to connect with this email account"

Thought it was a hoax but the mobile number / email and Twitter contacts on the email seem to be ligit. Tried ringing him now but got voicemail.

I have only ever communicated about bank deets by pm however I would on occasion have forgotten my password and had a new one for IPB sent to my gmail. The most recent time being last week. I am a little bit worried now.

I have deleted any old pms that had bank details.

Got a call from Geoff White this morning . The information he has found is just my email and a password I used to register for a horse racing website . His belief is that it came from horseracingbase.com . As it was a free trial I signed up for and didn't continue it after the trial there were no financial details contained in the information he came across .

He did suggest if I used the same password or similar passwords for any other websites to change them immediately.

Was at bloom yesterday. every single fucking thing is marketed as gluten free, I was nearly asking for gluten free water. Things that couldn't possibly have gluten being marketed as gluten free, fuck off. Grand aul day though.
I think I need to start askign do people ahve anything with gluten in it, or anything GMO.

Had some lovely metalman icky. Is all your stuff vegan? Hows the gluten levels?

3 fantastic days of test cricket. Love the Kiwis.

I'd say RD3 hated it - these 7/8 runs an over morning sessions have no place in test cricket.

What did you think of the declaration, I'd have given the tail another 20 minutes to get it to 480 territory. Whilst the commentators obsess about how it would be the highest runchase ever they always ignore how rare it's been to be set this sort of target in 5 sessions.

[coillcam]

Brewery based in Waterford. Icky works for them. They have a pretty tasty pale ale. Had a few tins of it on the way to Slane - grand job. The branding is pretty cool, kinda looks like something out of the videogame bioshock.

[Tar.Aldarion]

They have some cool flavours, not sure if I should be drinking them but did anyway. The heatsink one was delicious. It's a smokey porter with cayenne in it or something, we loved it.

They only appear to sell cans of their normal IPA though, ragin.

I've been tempted to ask for extra gluten in restaurants for quite a while.
