The thread count matters more than the fact that it is Egyptian Cotton.
Not sure what the thread count was for the ones we bought, they were pricey enough. The range was Dorma 1000 from DunelM but not sure if that was the thread count or not.

Thompson also revealed Liverpool were close to signing Cristiano Ronaldo before he joined Manchester United.
"One star who got away in surprising fashion was Cristiano Ronaldo, who shocked us when he signed for Manchester United in 2003, for an astonishing £12m. I say astonishing because we had been offered the player for £4m.
"I was invited to watch Sporting Lisbon play Porto in the last game of the season. Ronaldo was playing for Sporting. Tony Henry, the former Manchester City player and agent, was on the phone on a regular basis to see if he could take us to watch him.
"I met Tony at the airport and travelled to Porto. I met the player's Portuguese agent before watching the game. Ronaldo was quite good, but not as impressive as the first time I saw him. Tony was pushing the boy and saying he was a talent. He was saying: 'He will only cost £4m.'
"He added: 'It can be paid over the course of his contract, £1m a year.'
"He also said that the player wanted £1m tax free. I said: 'The boy is only 18. That is a massive problem,' but Tony suggested it was negotiable.
"I returned back the following day impressed with what I had seen and mentioned it to Gerard. He said: 'I will ask Rick.'
"We had just signed Florent Sinama-Pongolle and Anthony Le Tallec, both on far less than Ronaldo's aspirations. And we would have had anarchy if the other players had found out how much we were considering paying for an 18-year-old kid.
"We looked for a compromise. Ten days later I was sitting in a lounge at Anfield having some lunch and looking at the big TV screen. Up came the news United had signed Ronaldo from Lisbon for £12.2m. Gerard and myself nearly choked on our food.
"Gerard said: 'Contact Tony Henry,' and I went straight out and rang him. I said: 'what happened? More importantly, what happened with the price?' He said: 'After you had been with me, I got a phone call the following week and was told to drop everything on the deal. Hand on heart, I really don't know what happened.'
"I went back and told Gerard the story. What happened, God only knows. For the fee to jump from £4m to £12m, especially as they seemed so desperate, was surprising to say the least."

Originally posted by Tar.Aldarion View PostI mostly mean that it's a rip off because the sale prices are completely different, not just comparing it to other B&M stores. When a product can be 30-90% off depending on time of year in a physical store you know you'll be able to get a similar quality product online for less. There was 400e off the duvet when my gf bought one at the time in there (85% off))

Just when I see Parry's name mentioned above it reminds me that one of the Liverpool podcasts did a interview with him recently in which he was quite candid and open about his time at Liverpool. It will only really interest Liverpool fans but is a very good listen.

Lads, i want Sky, multi room and sports HD pack. Possibly Broadband. (I know UPC would be vastly superior but 50mb would be just fine and I'll happily take it if it is cheaper as a whole)
Was waiting patiently for a Groupon offer but she doesn't seem to be coming.
What's the best offer out there at the moment?

In 1967, Moshe Safdie reimagined the monolithic apartment building, creating “Habitat ’67,” which gave each unit an unprecedented sense of openness. Nearly 50 years later, he believes the need for this type of building is greater than ever. In this short talk, Safdie surveys a range of projects that do away with the high-rise and let light permeate into densely-packed cities.

Cian Heally cleared for the England game. Must be some amount of stem cells rubbed on that neck.
Shame about Andy Trimble as would have preferred him to travel along with Marmion and leave both earls and fitzgerald at home.
Delighted to see Cave get a spot tho he looked good when he was given the shot. Shame we didn't try out cave 12, henshaw 13 and payne 15 at any stage since all our back bar Rob Kearney are utility backs. Would have been no harm for Rob to see some real pressure since he has been off his best for 2 seasons now

In London for the day. It makes the rising economic activity in Dublin seem positively anemic. 1300 euro for a duvet would be pauper shit over here I reckon.
I bought new bed linen, pillows, duvets and the works in IKEA and was pretty pleased Denny.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

If you are going to IKEA, then get everything there......I found that if you buy an Arnotts duvet for example, then the IKEA cover wouldn't fit exactly. The same goes for sheets, and pillow cases. Just slightly different sizes,the kingsize being slightly big, so best to buy the Ikea covers and sheets to fit their own duvets.
Can anyone point me in the direction to see last Sundays season finale of Casualty. Forgot to record it. (Without using iplayer ) Thanks.

Natos interference and regime change has caused the libyan crisis.
Europe has huge unemployment at the moment with germany taking a staggering 800000 refugees- migrants where the hell are they going to put them and for how long?
Ireland has said they will take 600 Syrians a proper war zone which is a small number but the country regularly fails its own citizens and an asylum backlog is already here.
It sounds inhumane but if navys keep picking up the people from the useless boats they are crowded on they will keep coming tow them back to where ever coast they launched from and good luck.
Australias policy of returning boats that are launched from indonesia and have set up camps in Papua new guinea to process applicants.
Im sure conditions are tough but it stopped the waves of boats.
Europe does not need millions of mostly young men form 18-35 with backward ideologys and no ability to pay there way as being asylum seekers they wont be allow work.
Merkel herself has said multiculturism has not worked so why she would burden her country with 800000 extra people is mind boggling.
Might be guilt from the nazi past.

Do you think America should have turned back the coffin ships from Ireland since they didn't need a large influx of people from a country with a backward ideology?

I think the lions share of the responsibility for taking in refugees should fall on the countries who manufacture and drop bombs across the middle east and are directly responsible for this crisis.The daily mail whingers can take a hike
