Come on folks, roll up for the Autumn Werewolf Special.
Enjoy the fresh blood I have brought to the game. Ye will all be M8's in no time!
Plan to kick this off Thursday/Friday
That means a soft start so we can throw things at each other and let off the usual day one steam before the real game starts on Friday.
Handy when there are new people too so they can find their feet and everyone can get used to the format.Comment

Anybody renewed their car insurance lately? Am currently with AA and they are coming in over €100 more expensive than last year despite no claims. Have checked with Aviva, 123.ie and Chill so far and all are higher than AA's renewel fee.

Etihad are trying to suck me in with emails about upgrading flights all week. Final roll of the dice is €295 to upgrade a ~5 hour flight from Abu Dhabi to Sri Lanka to business class.

Could be worth it if you have a long layover in Abu Dhabi as you would have lounge access also.Originally posted by Keane View Post
While they're cutting costs more these days their business product is still good. Especially if you've never experienced it before.
My next trip to Asia I'll be availing of the free stopover in Abu Dhabi for business passengers as I'd like to see the city.
They'll put you up in a 5 star hotel for 24 hours with a car to/from airport also.Comment

Having consulted the travel agent I'm told the flight from Abu Dhabi to Colombo is some shitty plane so probably only getting a bit of extra leg room for your money in this case. Three hour layover in Abu Dhabi alright.Originally posted by Mike View Post

Had a weird one earlier, a little scary too.
Anyone else get migraines?
Normally when I get them there's no pain, I just can't see for a while, and a laser light show goes off in my head. I sit in a dark room until it goes away, usually takes about 15 minutes. It's actually kinda cool normally.
Today though was different, did the above and that was fine but then about a half hour later I got a bad but not too severe headache, but this is where it got weird. I started getting really confused about things, couldn't string a sentence together, couldn't think of simple words. One of my colleagues' names was mentioned and it didn't make sense to me, like I had forgotten her name. Lasted an hour or so.
I've read online that can be a thing with migraines, has anyone else experienced this?I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for thatComment

Deffo depends on the plane, Qatar flights the economy front row seats werent a kick in the arse off business class on some BA flights have been on. Lounge access and limo pickup/dropoff are lovely things, value of lounge goes up a lot if you have 2hrs+ between flights or any delays. Emirates from dubai to bangkok on the A380 is unreal upstairs, flight doesnt feel long enough is the only pity.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

Tis a thing but there is so many triggers. Could be something as poxy as the muscles in your back making it worse or dehydration. What you described first isn't a migraine. Migraines are horrible.

I upgraded on the Abu Dhabi to Dublin leg of a trip back from Sydney with my points and the best thing about it was the free lift home from Dublin airport. However I had booked a car hire for when I got back to Dublin so didn't want to miss out on the limousine I got him to drop me over to the car hire place!!Originally posted by Keane View Post
Hoping out of a brand new Mercedes S-class and into an Opel Astra was a bit of a come-down it has to be said!!
Business class is worth it if you have lie back seats I think, otherwise as you say you just get a bit of extra leg room and for me I wouldn't bother in that case. The dining and beverage options are quite good in fairness, a half decent fillet steak and a good selection of 15/18year whiskeys with loads of desserts was the highlights for me anytime I got itComment

In other news, great to have Utd back in the Champions League, haven't had a proper CL night in ages.
Me, my Da, my best mate, his Da and and my other best mates Da (my second Da) all round to mine.
Several excellent bottles of French vino.
A cheese board of Brie, Smoked Applewood, A Sheep's milk Gouda, Manchego and some Quince paste
A charcuterie board of pate, chorizo, Italian & Germany salami, coppa and Italian ham.

I was actually ok with him going to Chelsea. He had given us 12/13 seasons over 2 spells and owed us nothing at that stage.Originally posted by CHDog View Post
However, when he left for Barcelona, I was gutted, absolutely fucking gutted. I tried my hardest to make Davenport my new hero but he just didn't cut the mustard. I still have an old match program with Davenport on the front cover slotting home a goal (pretty sure it was from the 86/87 season) but no matter what he did, he just was never going to be Sparky.
I think my favourite memory of him (apart from meeting him briefly) was the 1991 cup winners cup when he skipped round the Barca keeper who came charging out of the box and slotted it home from a fairly tight angles with the outside of his right foot. That win, for me, was the start of our dominance in the English game. Still gets the hairs on the back of my neck up when I watch it.Comment

An actual real fan. Very unusual these days.Comment

I may have told this story before but can't remember.
My 'aul lad is a huge Utd fan. Him and two of his mates used to go over to games in the 60's and 70's. I was born in '78 and was the fourth kid in ten years which meant money for trips to the UK soon became few and far between. But he took me to my first game in 1986 (that's another story altogether)
Fast forward several years and I was 19/20 and me and me Da had a falling out. I genuinely have no idea what it was about but am pretty sure it was about me being a dickhead, my Da calling me out on it and me getting the hump as a result. It went on for months before my Mam asked me to bury the hatchet and make amends.
My Da's birthday is in early December so I made a plan. I saved up some cash and when his birthday came around, I told him I didn't get him anything but he would get his present at Christmas, it was a two in one job. At the time, neither him or my Mam thought that I was making amends and was just stirring the shit more.
But come Christmas morning, I gave him his present, an envelope containing 21 shares in Man Utd, it was all I could save up to buy. They cost me a fortune at the time in comparison to what I was earning. He went to every single AGM with his 21 shares in the club, every single fucking AGM, flew to Manchester, stayed overnight, voted in any decisions he could, he loved it.
When Glazier came in, we decided not to sell, we weren't happy with it. We joined the fans shareholders club which tried to get enough support to prevent him from gaining control of the club but eventually he reached a big enough share where he could legally compulsory purchase the shares off the remaining balance of the people.
I still hold a certain level of hate towards Glazier for what I see as stealing my inheritance of a tiny piece of ownership of the club I love, Cunt!Comment
