I hope they weren't too disappointed.
Go for your refund! It was madness.
They apparently had lots of stuff onsale ...not suitable for kids too. T shirts with pornhub and stuff. Some parents felt it was marketed at kids and not appropriate. They were also caught selling stuff like call of duty to under 18's.
Reg member ship for octocon for all three days is only 20 euro. They have a set limit of ticket no they can sell. I have been it's pretty cool. It's a non for profit con.

Looking forward to this!
Was brilliant. The cinema went all out with a belle and lumiere dressed up characters. Face painting and a few more Disney Princess 's walking about.
At two points in the story glitter and streamers were released in a festive bang, the kids were in heaven and the atmosphere was fab.
Was only the 3D option there but it was great in 3D.

Magnesium supplements will prevent that. Also you can get spray on stuff in health shops for instant relief."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

So just got home a few days back.
I wear hard/gas permeable contact lenses and have to get a new pair. I have used Dixon Hempenstall on Suffolk Street whenever I am back to sort it out but they are not cheap about 130 per contact lens. Anybody know anywhere that could do it cheaper. I have no idea who even can get these made as quite specialised I think.

Got my moneys worth before racing Friday witnessing a soup nazi masterclass performance by the guy who was single handedly running Babylon burger joint. We were the only ones in the shop when we entered and with no sign of staff but multiple chunks of chicken being fried on the griddle we took a seat. 3 young girls about 18 came in and made a bee line for the jacks. The soup nazi suddenly appeared holding a very firm line and refused them sternly as it wasnt a public toilet. He indicated there was a toilet down the street several times in a body language as to indicate gtfo of here. The girls turned out to be yanks and although stymied in their quest for free usage of the jacks were remarkably unperturbed by being cut off by this force of nature.
They stuck around and after a bit of half hearted back and forth by them as they knew they didnt have a leg to stand on one of the them looks at the menu says ok ok and orders the cheapest thing on it. With the placing of that order one of the others makes to slink off for the jacks when she was pulled up unceremoniously by the soup nazi.....'You YOU where are you going?'
We ordered something?
'She ordered something, you didnt, you cant use the toilet only she can.
Some muffled pffffttt's etc and she orders something equally small so she can go but they were determined not to come off the bridle as Irish birds surely would have by this stage. It really was something to witness. We were in mildly suppressed raptures watching on. The battle was so finely poised.
One of the girls ups the stakes and asks the soup nazi for the wifi code!. Ah heyor i cant takes much more of this!. 'No Wifi for you, you didnt order something. I didnt catch it all from my long distance vantage point but every request was hotly contested by the soup nazi!.
I tell you what i wiped every errand crumb off my table before i got up to leave.

But thinking about it looks like I'm going to win my work league for the 3rd year in a row, and I'd like to be a particularly ungracious winner as they were all dissing me when I was 60 points behind in Dec (100 pts up now). So be fun to have some fpl branded stuff on my desk. Let me know what/when you get and see if theres something small you can put in the post and I'll pm the work address, cheers.

People who are familiar with Sunday Morning by the velvet underground. First line I always thought was Sunday morning, brings the dawning - possibly dawn in. Lyric sites seem to think its Sunday morning, praise the dawning. Have I been hearing it wrong for over 20 years?

Whole leg? It'll be a a fluid thing. It hides everywhere in the tissue and when you do the thing that brings it out it rushes to a certain area. That's a terrible description but used happen me around my knee from being athletic. When I quit that it stopped. Can be that simple or a deeper problem involving nerves and blood flow. Go to a decent GP.

They allowed me to get so close. It suited them I guess! not once did they hiss and attack me but I heard others say they could be aggressive.
To this day there is still swans on the Durrockstock Dam where they lived and they apparently are all from the same family over the years.

like huge difference in left and right leg
It could be just an age thing. We aren't getting any younger you know
Try sitting with leg elevated, that might help. You stand up all day so you might just have a bit of water retention building in the evening. Have you had the test for arthritis? My mum had swelling in her late 40's and has it. There is a blood test that can show a level of something I can't remember which can indicate if you are going to have it.

What's it like trying to get a refund out of Irish Rail?
Just missed getting on a long distance train a couple of weeks ago, filled out the form and handed it in with the ticket at the office straight away.
Received a letter today saying they only refund if submitted 45mins after purchase...which is exactly what I did.
Do they just test you for a few rounds before bothering to refund?Last edited by Denny Crane; 20-03-17, 12:25.

You reckon Obama called up gchq and asked them to tapp Trump because of the danger of him being caught doing something unconstitutional if he asked his own people to do it
Look the only way there was a 'conventional' wire tap is if a federal judge ordered it.
Black ops is another matter entirely and we'll beyond any of us to know what is practical or actually going on. My sense from the crypto community is that you still would need the NSA's tech even to listen to GSM without a court order.Turning millions into thousands
