Loved prince, used to have a perfect cant grow a real moustach for a while.
Got out the vinyl last night for a blast of sign of the times followed by Paisley park. 2 kids looking at me like wtf is that yoke. Can't wait until later to play some live tapes I bought on o connell bridge. If they thought vinyl sounded shite...Last edited by EnzoScifo; 22-04-16, 14:46.

Ideally I'd come back to somewhere I wouldn't have to leave again!Originally posted by Emmet View PostAh yeah, I'm coming home, might not be next step, but that's where home is.
Just would like to return to the place in decent order if possible!

What an amazing day. We got picked up at 9.00am in Chichester St in Belfast and since there were only 4 of us for the Winterfell tour we went in the guides Audi instead of the bus which meant we got to other locations that the bus can't get to! The guide himself is featured in S6. His twin and his other brother have been extras for 3 seasons and his dad had a part as the Dothraki Slave master in Season one and was in 6 of the 10 episodes.
As we went to each location like Winterfell, The Twins, Moat Cailin etc we got shown how they worked the CGI to make it appear as it does in the show. It was unreal how much was used. Making duplicates of one building and making it look slightly different. Or giving it a whole new look and it becomes another building. Those on my FB will have seen the 60 odd photos that I took on the day that I put up. I have others that I can put up after S6 starts but promised we wouldn't do it until after the season premier!
We saw the locations where Rob Starks camp was, where he was made King of the North and where the Direwolves were found.
I also got to meet 2 of the cast! Greywind and Summer. They are beautiful animals. They are Northern Inuit Dogs. They also belonged to our guides family. They were contacted when they got the pups by the breeder asking if they were interested in using the pups in a new TV show. They said it was a dragon/sword type program and since they loved things like that they said yes.
The dogs are really called Odin and Thor and I got to cuddle them as we nagged and nagged the guide to let us meet them!
It cost £40 and you did buy your own lunch which was at a nearby pub and was rather nice. But we got back about 6.20pm to Belfast after walking about 6-8KM through various locations. Was well worth the money.
A guy had been sent from a German magazine and he did an interview at the end which I filmed. He videos loads and I'm looking forward to seeing that.
All in all it was an amazing day and would thoroughly recommend it.
Here are the doggies with the older brother William who was in GOT but he is also in Vikings and not able to change his appearance right now!
Greywind (Rob's dog) is on the left and Summer is on the right. He is Bran's dog.

Tough to tell who is worse tho, the guy who wrote that article or the Harbo guy he spent most of the time giving out about. Tough to argue with the main point of Harbo being a dick even if you disagree with the side point that the Luas drivers are being hard done by.
Quite clearly using the Luas drivers tag as click bait to get people to read his I hate Lovin Dublin tho.

'Normal' for most people in Ireland = 2%.
I'm in the normal zone these days but balance that out with a very healthy attitude towards work-life balance."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

The "not get a raise" raise at mine is 4%, is 2% more standard? Thing I don't like about mine is bonus is a big percentage of your wage, so if you don't get that one year that's a big swing

Originally posted by Loopz View PostWhat do you think of Vikings this season?SPOILERNot been too impressed to be honest and was disappointed. Had been so looking forward to the return and felt the first few episodes were a bit weak. It did ramp up a few levels once they got to Paris again. Hated the whole Ydu character and glad she gone.
Did enjoy last weeks episode and have still got the one from last night to watch. I don't get the hate I have seen fans go on about for Rollo, love the way this is all heading. I read a lot of history books when I was younger and although don't read unless you want to know lolSPOILERI know Rollo wasn't Ragnars brother, I find him a very interesting character
What is your thoughts up till last week?

Carrefour has this weird thing where in food they try to underperform Tesco with the mankiness of their offerings (UMarche is the place to go for potential holidayers), but the Carrefour wine selection is consistently amazing.

The way around the new paris defences was class, i havnt watched ep 10 yet either but I know a lot of the plotlines so it is kind of spoilt the watching of it for me but I'm looking forward to the second half of the season.

Its mid table second division stuff. Story and plotting are ok but some of the writing and a lot of the acting, particularly from the more established players is awful.
On the other hand BBC are knocking it out of the park on a regular basis these days, following on from the Night Manager and Happy Valley the new series of Line of Duty is class.Turning millions into thousands

Skybet : Soccer Saturday Price Boost - Southampton, Liverpool and Chelsea (was 9/2) NOW 13/2
Decent enhancement as the treble price quoted is close to the best price available. Liverpool decidedly dodgy as likely to be a young team although they are playing Newcastle.
