Speaking of which, stuck £5 on nightcrawler at 33/1 for best screenplay or some shit a couple of weeks ago.
Heart over head. it clearly has no hope as it hasn't received a glut of other minor awards like some of the leading contenders in the category which seems to be a pre-curser in these things.His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

I feel the same as the above statement. Didn't watch the last episode of season 2 and went a back a while ago to do so. Couldn't do it.
I'm not sure the releasing the whole season works for everyone.

What annoys me most is I had it pegged 4 episodes into season 1 when it first came out (that awful big peach episode) and gave up on it. Just have it another shot in jan.

Was looking at some tips/betting on the Cricket WC at the weekend.
A team to be bowled out 1st Innings in the NZ v Scotland game was 6/1 (before the toss was made) and that romped home last night.
In the last World Cup, 16/20 of the David v Goliath type meetings resulted in one team getting bowled out. If the toss falls on our side ~50% of the time, or on the occasion where the strong team puts the weaker into bat, then that seems like pretty good value? I haven't a clue if the gulf is still there between the top/bottom teams (Ireland beat WI, and Scotland beat Ireland in a warmup I remember) so just thinking out loud.
PP were 9/1 on a team to be bowled out 1st Innings in the game between Australia and Bangladesh. Aussies have beaten Bangladesh 18/19 meetings and bowled them out 7/9 ODI so surely if the toss falls our way,surely this was a great price? The 9/1 is now 11/2 this morning so maybe still value, but it could be a market to keep an eye on.

Thought this was so sad it was hilarious. So work gave me a new phone yesterday evening and I had a screen protector waiting on my desk this morning. I opened it up to put on the phone, used a wipe to clean the screen fully, a sticker to remove any dust and then peeled the protector off to put on my phone. I dropped the protector and my chair wheeled over it.

Another grim Bray tale.
Gardaí in Bray are searching for three men who tied up and robbed an elderly couple at their home in Wicklow last night.
The gang broke into the home of the couple at Briarwood, Vevay Road at around 8.15pm last night
They tied up the 85-year-old man and the 83-year-old woman in a study and ransacked the house before leaving with a quantity of jewellery.
The woman managed to raise the alarm by breaking a window.
Gardaí say both have been traumatised by their ordeal and their appealing for anyone with information to contact them at Bray Garda Station

What's the story with dreams? I have been having mad dreams of late, last nights being the highlight
I was with a bunch of English soldiers in Belfast in the 70’s. I wasn’t a soldier but for some reason I was with them as they were out on patrol. There was one street in Belfast that was badly flooded and they couldn’t get down so they decided to float an empty raft down it instead in case it was a trap.
Sure enough, IRA snipers started to shoot at the raft once it got down the street and eventually it started to drift back to them. They went around to the other side of the block which wasn’t flooded and did some manoeuvres but there was no snipers around there so they decided to call it a day, get changed out of their army gear in houses that were nearby and go to the pub.
One changed and started walking down the road when two IRA lads came towards him with hand guns. He managed to talk his way out of it as he hadn’t got an English accent and they let him go on. I was standing around the corner with another soldier who didn’t know what to do, he wasn’t sure if he should chance it or go back and hide in the house.
The IRA lads were about 50 feet away from us and he still didn’t decide. I told him, “you need to decide quick, I’m grand, I’m Irish and have a Dublin accent, they won’t harm me”
Then I woke up
Seriously WTF???

Seems a bit like vanity publishing * 1 million. Good reason to dislike what is a better than average movie."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Told my colleague I was going to kill him if he didn't stop sniffling every thirty seconds (previous subtle hints like handing him tissues being ignored). He thought I was joking.

Next up is a poem about hope. '"Hope" is the Thing with Feathers' by Emily Dickinson.
SPOILER“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

Nice day strolling around Catex in the RDS.
Pan supplier got us into a 3 course lunch with wines for some catering college competition.
A bit strange having 100 people watch while you eat lunch.

Tech Question;
Used printer for 1st time in 6mths. I was trying to print out a text document and it was faint, missed lines and useless. I repeated it for 10 copies till I got one which would suffice. I assume the printer jets have dried up ( ink cartridge are full).
If I run off more copies will it continue to improve or am I wasting paper and need to just get new printer and use it regular?
I also printed a colour picture and it came out crap.
