Best steak in Dublin?

GAB did a good post on it a while back. I think his own kitchen was 3rd best which was a nod to his modesty.

Money no object I'd probably go Shanahans.

Anyone have any experience of replacing a post box key? I lost a set my set of keys and when I was getting the new set from the locksmith he said the only way to replace the post box is if there's a code on the front (which there isn't on mine), otherwise I have to get him out to replace the lock, presumably at some extortionate rate.

It's just one of the these fairly standard aluboxes

Lost my key 18 months ago for the same type, alubox, did a google to try and find a replacement and no joy, think you can buy the locks and replace them yourself, so said the locksmiths.

I use 2 hair clips to open mine.

[ghostface]

Thank god for that, far to close given howmany chances Donegal had in the 3rd quarter. Will need to take those chances against the dubs or they won't stand a chance

If it's not a Mayo Dub final some bizarre things will have to happen.

Kerry beating Mayo wouldn't be all that bizarre I don't think.

Can I have powers to open and close threads in the games forum?

Just for the duration of WW.

Could just slap on the full mod powers either, I am next in line.

Is there not still a wwmod account out there? maybe the mods can reset the password for you?

I hope bodybuilder has the PW.

You could use Firefox for the mod account and leave yourself logged in on chrome.
I'd recommend changing the Ipb skin on one to silver maybe for quick contrast.

Rory's resilience will win this for him.

Mayo have a few leaks to fix to beat Kerry imo, should be a good game

The finkel too cool to play phase.

[NiceandcoolTrig]

Agreed and Donegal won't roll over for the Dubs either.

On another note having watched all the coverage yesterday and today, McIlroy can count himself unlucky not to be a few shots better off, they will start dropping soon and he'll push clear to win by four plus.

must lay rory now with all this bbv'ing that's going on

Lol, wanted to watch 'Wild at Heart' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100935/?ref_=nv_sr_1 again, a movie I've bought on both VHS and DVD. Stuck the DVD in the Blu Ray player and no dice. Checked the box, and yep it's a region 1 disc. Tried it in the DVD player that's connected, and yeah it's regionally protected too. Decide to rip it on the laptop, and have a minor panic attack, when, I remember I replaced the DVD drive with a hard drive 2 years ago.

Took out an older laptop that has a DVD drive, only to find the ripping software is showing as unregistered. Search through 3 years of emails to find the activation code, find it, but it doesn't work. Ended up using an activation code, but not the one I paid for.

tl;dr

GFY region codes

Question for the LOI heads. I will be in Dublin next weekend and have no plans for the Friday. I was hoping to go to a game and it looks likd Dundalk will win the league so wanted to see them. But there is no bus or train back to Dublin after 9.30pm, which is about the same time the game will be over (7.45 kickoff). Is there usually a special later train or anything when there's a game on? Or would it not be busy enough?

I think St. Pats are playing at home on Friday too against UCD? Worth going to a local derby? Would be handy if Sham Rovers were at home cos I'll be in tallaght but they're playing away.

Any advice?

[CHDad]

Wouldn't call it a derby but go to Pats v UCD. They both try to play ball.

UCD have about 17 fans.

[pokerhand]

Fuck Mayo... They never beat Kerry in croker.

Anyhow am in Kilkenny at the mo at a new beer launch by a friend of a friend. It is actually a very good red ale (which I think it is). So fun times as am getting really drunk off it. Time to wind up the locals!!! #prayforpokerhand

[Jam-Fly]

When there's 8 players within 1 shot of the lead at this stage, surely you can't be 30%+ to win? One would have to think laying McIlroy is value.

[Jam-Fly]

I see the women's rugby team won today against Kazakhstan to progress to semis. More interestingly, New Zealand are out. England and Canada drew their final game in Pool A to both finish on 12 points ensuring New Zealand couldn't qualify (3 groups with winners and best runner-up progressing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Wo...ugby_World_Cup).

If ever you'd think there had to be collusion in a match...

Nice lunch in Pho Saigon today. Although burnt my tongue on the pho. I seem to have a particularly sensitive mouth to hot things. I watch people wolfing down chips or something straight away from a chipper whereas I would be blowing on them 10 minutes later risking a blister.

No mayo are well capable of beating Kerry if they play to full potential, whether they will is another thing

how ironic is it that 'hot' is in your name? amazingly ironics

They won't... They really don't know how to play in croker... I expect the usual tears from then to yet another oh so close yet so far effort from them...

BTW the birds in Kilkenny are redic sexy.. Am going all out on them now. #prayforpokerhand

[TheDrunkenOne]

Dont know what to do...

Go fishing again tmw or not ( Local town competition £300 heaviest trout, £10 entry have to get up 8am) strong winds later in day so will be 'uncomfortable'

Get more vodka for house, supply running low

If I get vodka do I go to local for carry out or just get in for the Sat night 'lock in'

Fowler and Michelson are going to be very comfortable playing together so they could easily present a challenge- but rory is the better golfer and has a 2/3 shot lead over them, also I can't see his playing partner (that Austrian guy who's name I can't remember) putting him under much pressure. I'd personally put rory as a strong odds on fav, even close to 1/2. Not sure what the bookies are offering but if they'r being generous I might have a nibble.

yeah, fwiw my post was made when Rory was 10 under along with 1 or 2 others and plenty back on 9 under. Getting less than 2/1 at that point I thought was really low even though McIlroy is a beast and that. Birdying three of the last four holes was massive and I think him being odds on now is definitely warranted. Really can't see past McIlroy now. If he shoots 4 under tomorrow Rickie is realistically the only one that could catch him, it'd be a lot to ask from Day and Mickleson. Wiesberger is a wild card but you have to assume he won't finish ahead of Rory. It's in his hands, and the way he's been handling things lately has been pretty good.

[Flushdraw]

Good hand between Phil Laak and Brian Rast.

It's episode 13 of the Premier League 7 just for spoiler purposes!

Adebisi Shank

Highly recommended.

Oosthuizen is his biggest threat imo, him Rory and Michelson are the only ones at the top of that leaderboard who've proven they've the clutch for a major Sunday. Remember, a major Sunday is a whole different animal to a regular Sunday.

Louis' on fire, he's playing some really solid stuff, Phil is heavily dependant on his scrambling, helps he's prob all time best scrambler I suppose.

Rory/Louis playoff would be nice. Steak for the week.

[Lazare]

Best major of the year btw, of the three US majors it's by a country mile the best Sunday.

Don't panic, you still have time to take part in the annual IPB extravaganza and with the teams pretty set for kick-off there's no reason why you shouldn't be busy designing your team.

Fowler looks dangerous. Was unlucky with 2 eagle putts yesterday. I know he hasn't proven he has major temperament but he's been playing great stuff since getting swing coaching from Butch Harmon and looks icy under pressure.

He's certainly tearing up the majors this year alright. It's gonna be some finish.
