I see Gay Byrne (Late Late Show version) passed away. RIP.

Actually, not sure about the optics of a load of crusties in bikinis at any time

Are they single use signs?

[Solksjaer!]

Gaybo gone. No way :-(

[Strewelpeter]

That really is the end of an era.
RTE will be unbearable with wall to wall tributes from non entities like Turgidy and fucking Joe and endless replays of the Annie Murphy interview which was actually one of the low points of his career.
A properly fitting tribute would be just to replay a couple of hours of the cutting edge stuff he did especially on radio in the 70's and some of the really fun interviews with the likes of Ulick O'Connor whose recent death it appears went wholly unnoticed by RTE.

Be great to see twink come out and let us all know how good gay was to her
Miss seeing that miserable cunt on the tv these days unless there’s an Rte death

He was great in the Usual Suspects imo.

Reckon we should fire out Twinks blackface to get her barred off the tele for good. Get Doke on the case.

Wait, you want RTE to show how much more shite they and all their overpaid presenters are when compared to back when they were low budget catholic shite?

eeehhh.... probably not happening

Another round of "all lets interview each other" it is!

I went to see this in the IFI, I thought it was excellent.

[newbie2]

Lost a decent auld skin today.

The only presenter/exec producer that went around after and personally thanked everyone working on the gig.
You don't get that anymore

[Solksjaer!]

Did you watch the first ep of His Dark Materials?

is this on Netflix ?

We have a new speaker of the House. It'll be fun seeing can he live up to Bercow's brand.

Hadn't actually realised Bercow started out as a very right-wing Tory eurosceptic.

I've been going through chaos since the wife came back from Dublin. Hence my lack of space to post stuff.

Not even sure how to describe it, but have kinda mentally put it into a category of 'I can't understand this'.

She came back to Rennes on the condition that I live somewhere else. With the idea that maybe we'll work things out.

So I'm now living a few blocks away in a lovely place, fucking €1200 a month down the toilet, but somehow it's working out.

Spend the same amount of time with the kids, am so much less stressed, me and my wife are fucking like rabbits, time to spend with buddies which I couldn't before, and I sleep like a hibernating squirrel.

Apart from the fact that we can't afford any of this except from an exceptional paycheck I got in August, its really amazing.

And maybe thats a problem, but for now it's working.

I've a lot to say on my thoughts on this, most of which are ill-thought-out so would appreciate your feedback over the coming days.

How are things woking out for you now Hitch? I rarely get on this thing as I am so busy these days.
It is better than nothing, not sure how you can't afford the extra 1200 gaff with the amount of money you guys seem to earn! maybe you need to not spunk it off elsewhere? It is good you are rekindling the sex life and you are getting to spend time with the kids. It isn't ideal, but better than a proper split.

Found an old biscuit tin containing some of my old lead soldiers, and their moulds. Surprised the company that sells them is still around, as it seemed like an accident waiting to happen even in 1980! https://shop.princeaugust.ie/

Went to that factory a few years back, had a great time moulding things and painting them and so did the kids. I bought one unpainted dragon from the Lord of the Rings series for €20 and sells for €120! that is once one of their guys paints it. I don't think they use lead at all now, can't remember what they said it was they used, but was fun.

I can't stand the sight of her since her appearance on Bert Kreischer's podcast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9-mDExYIsk

Just watched her in the Netflix show Living with yourself with Paul Rudd, she was pretty good in that. Hadn't heard of her till now.

It was more the burn hazard than the lead that bothered me. Pretty sure I was about 10 years old, heating up solder on a domestic gas hob, completely unsupervised. Did burn a hole in a kitchen worktop with a spillage.

Tempted to get the moulds for some chess sets.

[The Situation]

She did a show with Sharon Horgan for channel 4 called This Way up that's worth checking out. Pretty funny.

[Goodluck2me]

Pat Storan. Sound fella and very good player.

That’s the one, a sound fella, thanks.

I know people don't watch cash games anymore, but the Triton cash game is still the one to watch. Episode 1 came out yesterday 2k/4k/4k and everyone bought it for €500k

TonyG, Jungleman, Truteller, Ike Haxton and more. Some big pots...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrUdWj8B-nk

In a world where I don’t watch much poker if any anymore, the idea of buying in for €500k still blows my mind.

Tony G had the look of a man who couldn't afford to dust off a buy-in. No idea if that's true, just how he looked imo.

I thought the cinematography was excellent, but didn't think it was a great film. Would certainly watch another from the director.

Did you see another Colombian film Birds of Passage earlier in the year? That was wonderful.

Caught a great feel good flick yesterday, need to see more movies in this vein - https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the..._butter_falcon

It's an HBO show so I wouldn't think so.

Shame Beto has dropped out, everything about his run was hilarious. Can’t believe some here took him seriously

Quiet in the airport today Eamo

It hadn't occurred to me to get an ETSA to tansit through the states.

Person at the desk told us to go away, apply, and come back and she'd book us for the first leg of the trip to London. Hopefully it'll have come by the time we land and we can continue on.

Come back and it's a different woman on the desk. Flat no, she can't check us in.
"But the previous person said..."
"No"
"But..."
"No"

"What about if you just book us to London and we'll look after it there"
"Yeah ok"


Left wondering what would have happened meeting her first. Or maybe she just wanted to dick us around a bit.

I was thinking the same actually! November is a dead month if there is dead months any more, and tuesday is a bit of a non day too.

Aer lingus? They are very useless

[AndyFatBastard]

Also have it recorded. Very excited tho.

SPOILER

Enjoyed it. As SP said, it was a little bit all over the place when it started, but came together nicely as they got into the meat of the story. I was worried the daemon effects would be weird or distracting but they were excellently done and seemed very natural.

[ArmaniJeans]

HDM
No real spoilers.

SPOILER

Yeah, thought it was great, they pretty much nailed it, and daemons really worked on screen.
Took me far too long to work out who The Master was (Lester Freamon from The Wire obviously).
Hi-tech helicopter scene in flashback at start was a bit weird, yet 12 years later they are using lower standard airships to go from oxford to london.
Loved that the Magisterium HQ was at the top of The Mall where Buck Palace would be in our world

[AndyFatBastard]

Yes the helicopter was extremely weird

I see the secrets of Saracens success have been revealed. That is a serious sanction - hopefully the cheating scumbags get relegated.

Would be even better if their trophies were retrospectively stripped from them too but I guess that would be too much to hope for.

We couldn't get the double on and only went for the Champions cup in the end, so might be a case they'll be concentrating on that this year...unless you're talking about another IPBer

[Solksjaer!]

Was hoping it was actual doping. Meh to it being the secret to their success.

What being able to break the rules so you can stuff your squad full of the best players? Seems like a blatant case of cheating imo.

It has to be a major distraction for the organization plus in order to avoid a fine for this year they surely have to ensure certain players don’t get investments in their companies this year which will likely lead to lads leaving. Even whilst appealing the decision for previous indiscretions.

Tbh I reckon this has to improve leinsters chance of winning the champions cup this year. Not to mention the toll of a number of their players going very deep in the World Cup and the effort to avoid relegation with some sort of points deduction.

[V for Vendetta]

From a European cup perspective it doesn’t really matter as it’s no different from Toulon. It’s only cheating from the perspective of the rugby premiership and the likes of Exeter have reason to feel genuinely aggrieved.

Probably helped some English players stay in the English system as well. I reckon the vunipola brothers will end up in France pretty soon.

It was so dead going to London a week or two ago, going again in a few days and hopefully dead too! I had that aerspace ticket with the free stuff, i still used the fast security pass anyway The lounge was grand, you could have great craic there, I got fairly drunk. You could have a bottle of wine, a few cans and pastries etc. Also nobody sitting beside you and being in the front row as part of the ticket is sweet, and the free drink/food onboard. Still not gonna pay for it myself though.

Finally made it as a hipster influencer, was flown over to model clothes and shoes in shoreditch Next up should be doing suits and peacoats. Grand for an hour of somebody taking pictures of you.

[Flushdraw]

I think i've watched this goal about 87 times so far. So satisfying!

Was in this house today. Absolutely spectacular. Big silver Harley up on a 10 foot high shelf, owner said he plans to park a silver classic Porsche in his living room as an orniment.

Just a normal bloke in his late thirties/early forties. Some pad.

[dobby]

Some cracker in Stamford Bridge. Chelsea Ajax now 4-4 after Chelsea were 4-1 down. 2 own goals, 2 penalties and Ajax down to 9 men. Absolute cracker

[dobby]

Lol. Make that 5-4 Chelsea. This is ridiculous stuff. Champions League

[dobby]

Hup. VAR makes an appearance. Back to 4-4 we go for a handball in the build up to the goal.

[Flushdraw]

If you want something a little slower paced than the football, the 7th frame of this match between Selby and Allen is fantstic to watch. None of this clearing up in one frame nonsense. It's an engrossing safety battle where neither player has barely put a foot wrong!

Turned it off at 58-0 and checked the score half an hour later and it was 58-9! Was curious as to what transpired.
