Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - Mammy told me not to come.

[eamonhonda]

The wife has become increasingly frustrated with our inability to drive, as its so much hassle using public transport with kids. Fixing that is made extra difficult as we need to pass the French driving test. So my plan for her birthday in December is to surprise her with having passed the theory section of the test, which is the main impediment. That should then make it fairly straightforward to be a fully fledged competent driver in time for next summer, as the actual driving part is low hassle.

So anyway, I'm here going through the three hundred page theory book, and its such a pain. Got through six pages in two hours as need to translate nearly everything and then work out what the English means as don't know anything about driving. ffs. Another three months of this at nighttime as am trying to do it in secret.

is there not an app to do mock tests? there was a cd when i was doing it here, just did that a few times and i was good. faster than reading a book of it anyhow

But he's right.
MSN you have it completley arseways about sex and violence in the media... the sex is a problem for you the violence can be a problem for them.

Alan Watts talks about this a fair bit. What does it say about a society that finds expressions of physical love/pleasure more dangerous than expressions of physical hatred/violence.

In France, I'd be fairly confident the answer to every question is ' just build another roundabout'

[shrapnel]

pmd you

Swift and sort code does not work. Not sure what you're trying to do, but for national transfers, sort code and account is enough. For international, Bic and account should work.

can't be that hard surely? Imaging something along the lines of 'drive on the correct side of the road, don't kill people' would suffice.

Any current Sporting Emporium regs on here that's friends with staff should probably get in touch with someone there. Some bad news about a dealer passing away suddenly off duty. Tournament obviously cancelled and staff upset. No idea who but terrible news.

The BIC is different to a sort code Michelle. The sort code forms part of your IBaN. Generally the BIC and IBAN are what you neeed

It's Irish Sign language awareness week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=59&v=bc3hfa2N1wo

This is 4 Dublin schools doing a rendition of wake me up.

Did you know we have our own native Sign language diff from BSL or ASL?? Well we do!

This week is promoting awareness so we can get to a point where it's normal for interpreters to be at concerts.
Like at this Chilli peppers where Amber Galloway Gallego LITERALLY STOLE THE SHOW

There's only 2 IPBers that I know of that live in Sliema, and i've not heard any news filtering through that it's either of them. Hopefully whoever it is can make a good recovery. They drive like fkin lunatics over here so it's no surprise, and it's usually brushed under the carpet if it's a foreigner.

This latest Ryanair heel-turn is pretty good. Much more convincing than the shortlived good-guy push.

Sample question I was just doing. Thats a stupid level of knowledge they're aiming at.

There's no question mark so it's quite obviously a rhetorical question.

am watching but dont see how ggg loses

[Mickey Rosa]

Can't sleep, thank God for American combat sports. Good old fashioned KO in the big one tyvm.

[DeadParrot]

For anyone with a Paddy Power account this may be of interest.

When you look at the group round betting Golovkin 7-9 is 5/1. If you look at the #whatoddspaddy section "Golovkin to win by KO in rounds 7-9" is 28/1.

Each of those rounds individually is only 14/1. This is clearly an error.

Get on it.

UFC is on m8.

Boxing is shit but tonight's a tasty fight. The boxing bout of the year.

[mugsy]

am watching but dont see how ggg loses

its a hard fight to call in my opinion thats why its appealing though. If it goes 12 rounds id expect GGG win. If GGG hasnt got a ko by round 8/9. I wouldnt be suprised if he is stopped.

I rate GGG highly. maybe too much. but i think he will get the tko/ko mid fight

[Mickey Rosa]

Serious smoking jacket on the lad singing the Kazakstan national anthem.

[CHDad]

Canelo looked ridiculous at the weigh ins. I haven't watched alot of GGG but he hasn't fought someone like Canelo before has he? Canelo decision isn't impossible?

[Mickey Rosa]

Serious smoking jacket on the lad singing the Kazakstan national anthem.

Prefer the Mexican's outfit though

[mugsy]

so the boxnation panel saying alvarez would get a decision cause he is the younger fighter and will have more fights in him and a bigger profile.

I know boxing is corrupt a little but jesus i wouldnt factor that in under current scruitiny.

[CHDad]

Lovely hurling this fight.

[Mickey Rosa]

This is class tbf

[DeadParrot]

can see a canelo decision
I've ggg ahead but still

[Mickey Rosa]

Can't wait for the rematch, that was top drawer.

[CHDad]

What a fight. All depends on what the judges like now. GGG wins for me, they need to do it again.

How the fuck do the judges see it so differently, that card for Canelo is as bad a score I've seen ever.

[DeadParrot]

wow...fucking boxing

Boxing starting to look up lately after that fight
& the Joshua/Klitschko show a while back.

All that's needed now is for Joe Duffy
to up his game on the trash talking
& Bag himself a €100 million super fight
with George Foreman.

Even the 9 y/o nephew from Mayo knows enough to keep a lid on his excitement. The two older nieces are fatalistically resigned.

Mine have no clue about football but are still wearing Dublin tops and behaving ebulliently.
