Ah ok. Don't imagine you as a musical fan somehow so you'll excuse me taking your opinion with a pinch of salt (*obligatory insult about silly Fenianism*)

Jesus Christ Superst great
Cats great
phantom great

Only musicals I've seen

Correct though musicals not my bag, music is though .
Stick on the last waltz or go see the tribute show now THERE is a feast

Depends. Certainly you'd be a 3/1 dog to stay in Ireland.

Interesting. I'm guessing those odds increase when a US Judge, the FBI and several other US authorities want to give you your day in court? That cake of justice also contains the filling of Gardai finding loads of things.

Any advice for buying a bike? Only want to use it for a ~20 minute commute. Want to use the bike to work scheme but have strong suspicion that a 2nd hander would be fine for me. Went into a shop in town and the prices were ludicrous.

Buy a road bike. One that fits properly. Everything is moving to 25mm tires so try to get these.

You are a little early to get the best prices as soon they will be selling off 2015 stock to make way for the 2016 models.

If you are going to be locking it up somewhere less than secure do consider this. Treks and other top tier brands are going to be theft magnets.

Ideally you would use the entirety of the B2W benefit on the bike itself but this isnt always practical. What's your budget and do you need all the safety gear too? You could do worse than looking at wiggle/ribble/rose bikes/other online entity. Check what your companies B2W rules are first though. If they only deal with halfords/similar its not the end of the world but there are more than a few stories of their stuff coming poorly assembled.

Don't know much about it, was bullied into buying tickets by a friend recommending it so many times that I did it from exhaustion.

Get a road bike on done deal. Bike shops just taking the piss with bike2work. Loads of people on done deal flogging off bike2works which have just gathered dust since they were bought/triathletes upgrading etc

Can't comment without knowing specifics and if you tell me specifics I can't comment (yup, I know) but Ireland actually has a long and proud tradition of being seriously fucking awkward about extraditing people. If there's a sniff of the death penalty or any of a number of other possible reasons you'll survive an extradition hearing but it's not easy.

Halfway through reading Storm of Swords vol 1, really wish I read the books before ploughing through TV show, so much more depth,as people were saying it diverges enough and is well written enough for it to compensate for knowing what twists are coming

Company doesn't care what shop I use and I know what size I am. I'm definitely not spending €1k on a bike no matter how good the savings are. I've bought cars for less than that and I didn't have to peddle them myself! I'd say €500 would be the max I would spend and that would want to be epic value. It seems to be the starting price in most shops...

I have all the gear apart from mudguards as my last bike was stolen when I accidentally left the garage door open. I would hope that any bike I buy would be black.

What price is ludicrous? Depends on how much you want to spend! Either second hand or order online from somewhere in EU. I ordered mine from the North for 150e cheaper than here.

Roadbike is dearer but easier to cycle, light and faster.

If you pay 1k you only pay €480 in the end on higher rate of tax. Maybe second hand so

EDIT: also dota tickets are on sale!

[Tar.Aldarion]

Let me know how it is kayroo



Where is teh bes tplace to sit in the olympia, take it the 80E tickets aren't worth sitting a few rows further forward.

On these books, I read the first one before watching any of the show.

I didn't think it was great and didn't read any more. Watched season 1 of the show lately and thought it was decent.

Is the first book a good bit worse than the subsequent ones or do most people love them from the off?

[Zod]

Get a really heavy lock for reenacting scenes from Mad Max 2 as you cycle along.

Ehh.... at 500 you are probably better off going second hand unless you will buy the 1k bike for 490 on b2w. Most of the stuff around 500 isnt terrible interesting or even particularly nice/good. Some stuff will pop up on wiggle with full claris/sora groupsets around that price in a month or two if you want to keep an eye on stuff there.

The 5 fight PPV card is available for 18 quid but I'm nearly sure they black it out here cause of the BT deal. Just get Setanta for a couple of months or rely on streams.

Subscribing to Fight Pass will not get you a PPV. It would be more on top of that and I'm 99% sure it is blacked out in Ireland and the UK.

Yup, correct - only shows the fight nights live and uploads ppvs way after they happen. Blacked out here because of the bt sport deal.

Had a 2 month trial of fightpass and didn't find it any use tbh and i'm a pretty big fan. There's only so much historical stuff you can look at.

Will use the trial this weekend to watch the Seery fight. Can't see myself keeping it after that. Streams are generally grand.

[AndyFatBastard]

All the people being prosecuted as a result of Silk road had terrible Opssec. As long as your friend didn't give any personally identifiable information to some other drug dealers on the internet then he is almost certainly in the clear.

Some others were caught by analysis of postal history, but I doubt An Post are clever enough or the Gardai coordinated enough for that kind of stuff.

Andy if bikes were processors your B2W 1K bike is like an entry road bike is an entry level i5
what you get new for 500 is the equivalent of a 5 year old celeron

second hand i5 >>>> crappy new celeron

I wrote a song for my little one back in October, back when I hadn't a clue wtf was going on, or how to deal with this new magical situation I was in.
She was balling crying one evening and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, trying everything to calm her but failing.
She was so upset, yet I was bursting with happiness.
I was singing to her, I always do, random stuff, but I came out with what sounded like a good lyric so I built a bit of a song around it. Just got around to recording it the other day. Lemme know what you think.

I suspect he is fucked. I doubt he'll get extradited (wouldnt play well in the media) but he'll be giving the heaviest sentence they can come up with here.

the opening hook is catchy, it conveys the love, helplessness and the frustration a new father feels trying to placate a crying infant.
A+ start.
However lyrically it needs some work
Why are you happy?
I want you to be as happy as you make me...might work better
it also suffers a bit with repetitiveness, change up the title hook a bit on repeat
You have a near perfect rhyming couplet to open up the song.
Why are you crying? I really go to know.....use the existing rhyming to suggest other things you have tried..
e.g
Will I put on the telly and together we watch, that piggy show? (peppa pig)
I know your upset and it upsets me, does it hurt to grow?
Also, stop trying to go to a higher and higher octave, it would work better if you broke a note here and there
..............

yeah good going mate, I like it.

Wow. I've been in Ringsend for 20 years now, apart from a 10 week spell in Donnybrook in 2000,when I got marked in on the No.11. Missed Ringsend, so I went back. Had 5 years on 77s and then 7 years on 50s. Now almost 3 years on 1, formerly the no.3

Yeah, I thought I recognized your face whenever I saw you and smurf at tournies. Never got a chance to talk to you though. Hated the Tallaght routes, I did the 11's and the 3's (1) a few times for OT, it's a decent route. I was a SIPTU rep back in the day, got away from it when they Fcuked over the new employee's with the 6 year reduced salary plan. Basically bribed current employees with bonuses to bring it in. I never agreed with it.

I found the 1st book slow as I had recently watched the 1st series. Then left it till last week to start the 2nd,cracked through it and in to the 3rd now. it should also be noticed I am incredibly prejudiced against books with imaginary maps in them, so the fact I'm loving this says a lot.

If I'm honest I was expecting some cringy shit in which case id probably not have commented at all. But that sounded pretty good! Nice simple notes worked well and the singing wasn't half bad. I dont overpay lyrics much detail in general but it seemed like it flowed well if a bit repetitive. Pretty good job for an early attempt at a song I assume imo
