Someone went to my friends door in Donegal about a TV licence and they do not watch TV but just have laptops. They said that they were to pay the licence because they laptop was capable of watching TV.

Just saw this...

You do not require a television licence to watch television on your computer or mobile phone. However, the computer must not be able to receive a signal distributed by conventional television broadcasting networks, for example, cable, satellite or aerial.

Willett @ 3s looks good for top Euro Rook.

He's showed good form in his last two outings and bar missing the cut @ the players by one shot(1st tournie after the Masters), hasn't missed a cut on the PGA tour all year . Think he might get 4 of the 5 matches. 2.5 points should win the bet. Maybe even 2.

Dangers coming from RCB and Pieters who will probably get two shots at fourballs but would be hooked if they're brutal in the first you'd think. Fitz might get a pair of foursomes. Sully and Wood will be doing well to play in 2 before the singles.

Thought Woodie was headed for a big year before his injury.

Anyway, that all sounds great but it will be made to look foolish.

I'll just continue to do my lucky 15s on the draws over the first two days and one year it'll click.

A 16-year-old British girl earns £48,000 helping Chinese people name their babies

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/37255033/a-16-year-old-british-girl-earns-48000-helping-chinese-people-name-their-babies

Beau Jessop, a 16-year-old from Gloucestershire, names more than 200,000 babies in China and is paid £48,000 for the privilege.

A 16-year-old has made £48,000 from a website she made to give Chinese babies English names.
Beau Jessup, a British A-level student from Gloucestershire, came up with the idea after a family visit to China.
They were out for a meal with friends when she was asked to give an English name to a newborn baby.
In China it is considered important to have an English name for future study or business with the UK.

I think europeans have won alot of events this year too. USA are under big pressure and that doesnt bode well. Bloodbath? I think Europe will win. Solid team lots in form.

Bubba has been shit all year if you base your opinions on world rankings it doesnt work like that in a ryder cup format. Cant see how close to even USA would be value. granted they are a bit less now. 4/6 or so. Wouldnt touch that bet id say be higher come to single shoot out on sunday and thats where they can get going.

why do you think the yanks are so strong?

...Its mainly to do with the amount of Rookies we have, 6 is way too many( obviously Clarke has no choice)...the fact 6 players are rookies just indicates that they haven't been in alot of pressure situations (willet aside) and the American crowd will help make sure they know this... Just looking player to player, there is more strength in depth with America... I've a feeling it could be 9-7 America after day 2;* but wouldnt be surprised to see an 7.5- 4.5 Sunday scoreline In the singles...

**luckforsome** · 28-09-16, 10:39

...Should say I fucking Pray I am wrong...There is an excitement about the Ryder cup that no other sporting events creates for me personally...Couldn't back against Europe even if it made sense to because I just wouldn't be able to enjoy it...

, I was finished about 5-6 years before they got in touch

In fact I was back at college doing a course at the time (so they had to cancel cancelling it), which was quite the conversation

1. Is there anywhere in town I can get a haircut and that pretentious old school shave that will be open past like 19.00?

2. I want to get a TV/monitor/projector etc, is there anywhere I can get these things and pay over like a year or two-PowerCity etc. Switzerland and Germany they love that shit.

The MH17 report findings don't read well for Russia. Coupled with their Syrian involvement it'll be interesting to see the backlash in the coming months, surely it's got to be severe.

@Hitch: 350 ppm is thought to be the figure that will stabilise the global temp anomaly at 1C above pre-industrial levels. Above 350 it could enter a 'chaotic phase', which is to say that nobody really knows what will happen, but it won't be good.

He's still a current champion regardless of whether or not he is fighting with the belt on the line.
Eddie's last fight was a fight night. $150k flat payout
His contract this time includes PPV shares as a headliner. Verses McGregor that's be a few million extra this time around. The McGregor money is real.

They have great internal airlines in Brazil. Although it's ten years since I was there. I only speak English. we ended up in some dump outside of Salvador which was meant to be an exotic retreat. Had a paddling pool as the pool and was manky. My Mrs who speaks German had to explain to a German guy who speaks Portuguese to translate to the owner that we wouldn't be staying there. Back for another week in the 5 star hotel which was dirt cheap. We managed to get from the middle of nowhere back into Salvador having to get 2 buses which was challenging but hand signals and pointing at maps did the trick. We were in Rio, Igaucu, Menaus, Salvador and back to Rio

Pat Caddell, the Democratic pollster and Fox News Insider, told Breitbart News that poll respondents said Clinton performed better at the debate; 48 percent said Clinton did a better job, compared to 43 percent, who said Trump did the better job.

“However, 95 percent of the people we contacted told us they were not going to change their vote based on the debate,” Caddell said.

Two percent of voters, previously undecided, switched to Trump after the debate. No undecideds went to Clinton. One percent switched from Trump to Clinton, and one percent switched from Clinton to Trump.

I don't think she knows that i've gone there with 5 of the last 6 girls i've dated, including a 1st date the same week I dated her... i think i'm becoming predictable, because for 3 of the girls I did laughter lounge for 1st date followed by Luigi Malones for 2nd date, I guess we are creatures of habit...

I see the Gardai are planning for industrial action. How many people's lives are going to be affected by that? Unless it leads to an unexpected The Purge I can't see it mattering even 1% as much as the bus strike.

Perhaps some events may not be able to go ahead because of lack of police, but if they were to it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. I am coming around to the idea that the police don't actually do much of anything. Unless charging around to cordon off a corpse after a gang killing counts.

I go for work once or twice a year just outside Sao Paulo. Very little english in restaurants and shops in my experience.

Google translate app on the phone is useful.
