Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[The Aul Switcharoo]

Gona get a takeaway tonight. Tough deciding what to get though.

Pizza

Back in blaaland for a few days. Bacon and trimmings on the menu

[CHDad]

Pizza is an option. Taco Chips leading the battle in my head at the moment though.

[ComradeCollie]

Does this mean The Donald is juicing it up on sweet, sweet young blood?

Seems reasonably plausible, all things considered.

[shrapnel]

Crazy game between wasps and toulouse! Wasps win it by 3 points with a cheeky try in the last minute. So close.

[Raoul Duke III]

My afternoon is about to consist of bringing a dozen eight year olds to the new Star Wars movie.

Faking my own death seems a reasonable option.

Seats looked like a popcorn factory had exploded. Only one puker so counts as a win.

Drink

[ComradeCollie]

Finished a book on olive oil earlier and went to the olive oil store to test my newfound knowledge. Ended up leaving with a litre of Fantoi Cutrera recent harvest (bottled in Oct 2016) and a whopping €33 down. It's rather excellent. Tried the strippagio way of tasting olive oil - get the smell right up in your nose at the same time as tipping a big lot of it into your mouth. Lovely first feel and then the pepperyness and just pure freshness comes roaring in.

+1 would do again. Such a great blend of flavours. Might need to find a cheaper supplier though.

It's funny how occasionally the price of something just doesn't matter, when you just want it. Bought a new mouthpiece today, mostly just curious at how different it will be to the s80 I've had for decades http://www.sax.co.uk/selmer-paris-co...-mouthpiece.ir

I feel I shouldn't. I am told Twink used to carry around pre-signed autographed pictures of herself assuming people would want them from her. I know someone who was standing next to her and was handed one out of the blue, which was handy as it informed my friend who she was.

Mate of mine, when he meets someone ever so slightly famous does this thing where he says to them 'whats the story on an autograph?' and when they say 'yes' in that secretly thrilled way he immediately hands them a beermat he has already signed with his own name and says 'there you go'. Most take this well and have a laugh, others get all stroppy and annoyed.

This m8 is you isn't it m8. Top gag tbf, would use.

Poor outcome for Connacht. Toulouse winning 4-0 in group points would have been best.

[V for Vendetta]

True that was the best outcome but a lbp should still get them a runner up spot if they can stop Toulouse getting 4 tries. If they are good enough for a qtr final spot they need to be able to get something on the road. The harsh bit is their injury list but they've given themselves a chance anyway.

Lol. Vg. Variation of the 'do you know where the post office is ' gag that I love.

So is JJ Smiths still open? Was all that malarkey about it closing just bs?

[Strewelpeter]

Looks like Eircon have started throttling my torrent downloads.
What if anything can I do about that?

Has anyone taken the GMAT exam before? Thoughts on it? There is a ridiculous amount of different material to help study for it.
I have to get a 600 before the summer as a condition for a masters, scoring system is crazy as well with a lot of the questions not counting towards your final score.
Two sections don't count either towards your final score with separate scores for them but all must be completed I think.

Proper game here in Glasgow. Munster not doing much with their posession but big-hearting it thus far.

[Strewelpeter]

great game

[KevIRL]

Magnificent Munster.

[Raoul Duke III]

Magnificent Munster.

tbf, the 'magnificence' was all defensive.

Some weekend for the Irish though. Looking forward to Castres and Toulouse now!

[Raoul Duke III]

Lolz, one of the fans calls Murray in for a high five and leaves him hanging!

Play of the game imo

[KevIRL]

tbf, the 'magnificence' was all defensive.

Yep defensive and the classic Munster doing exactly what was needed in Europe.

Hope Ulster can win tomorrow for the sweep.

Some change from last season for the 4 provinces

Yep and tbf it wasn't too far off the worst possible outcome - a draw.

Just saw that. WTF were Toulouse doing?

[shrapnel]

Crazy alright. I'd say they were exhausted, and just took their eye off the ball. They played really well though for 89 minutes.

Vegas is just absolutely ridiculous. Nothing about it makes any sense and everyone's completely ok with that. Was amazing for exactly 2.5 days. After that I just wanted to get the fuck out of there. The unrelenting flashing lights and attention-grabbing noises wear me down real fast.

I don't know how, but I managed to consistently win money playing slots and blackjack, and consistently lose playing poker. Getting free drinks for playing a 25c blackjack machine at the bar is unfuckingreal. I got absolutely shitfaced on the Tuesday night and went to bed with more money in my pocket than I started with.

Also went to see Blue Man Group. Amazing show. Love the way they gradually introduce new elements and then mix them together in surprising ways. Audience participation elements were really well done, and the lights and music were mind-blowingly good.

Personal highlight was late into the meal after the wedding, our waitress tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me sir but you drank all the cider". Cue everyone cheering and high-fiving while I moved on to rum and coke.

Reminds me of Dennis Pennis. Makes me old thinking this was 20 years ago!

I actually really enjoyed Vegas last time and did approx $10 worth of gambling and had 2 glasses of wine and 2 beers over the whole weekend. It's quite a chilled out place if you want it to be.

If you got fed up after 2½ days you are doing Vegas wrong!

[AndyFatBastard]

It's just the constant stimulation. Would have been fine if I'd had a day to relax or something.

[6starpool]

Vegas doesn't really do it for me either to be honest.

[Flushdraw]

What was stopping you relaxing for a day

Go for a meal, cinema or/and a show
Go shopping and chill in the room and watch a film

Gillian probably spent a total of $20 gambling when we were there for a week and a half so it's what you make of it. You can defo find time to relax if you want.

[SatNav]

Just watched the young offenders, brill!!!!

[gorrrr72]

I think we should all meet up. I want to know who ye all are. Admit it you're curious too!

We could meet in the Library bar. Central hotel. Whenever suits. Open invite all welcome.

Too late honey, you had your chance when I was there last week, I'm back in Espana now.

Anyone seen Taboo? Is it as good as the hype suggests?

Noticed the 2nd episode on BBC last night so downloaded the first episode and watched it. Has the makings of something good for sure.

[Lazare]

Yeah, I watched the first ep last night too, thought it was really good. Love Tom Hardy.

[shrapnel]

off to see this later on. Can't wait! bought the tix March last year . been a long time coming

[TheJiggaman]

Fair play to McIlroy for doing so well in SA.

IIRC he's only playing it as a favour to Els for playing his Irish Open. I thought this would be a 'get a couple of rounds done and miss the cut' type of tournament.
