The fog game away to Bosnia in the last playoff was a better spectacle.

Awful stiff but the spectacle will be forgotten fairly fast Tue night when we beat them. Den pretty poor too and the best possible draw as we suspected.

Did what we had to do

[DeadParrot]

meh, it was a defensive performance.
0-0 was the gameplan , job done

I got the kicking it up in the air bit right.

Jaysis, Denmark are nearly as shite as us though. What happened to dem Laudrups?

To be fair we can make the best sides look terrible, World champs Germany scored 1 goal against us in two matches last campaign.

When you watch any of our matches in isolation you wonder how that approach is sustainable long term and we were just lucky to hold out on the given night but it pays off far too often to not give management a whole lot of credit for their ability to nullify anything thrown at them.

Atrocious to watch mind.

[CHDad]

It's one of the worst squads we've had in quite a while considering the injuries and players out of form.

Punching well above our weight.

[Emmet]

Wouldn't follow rugby too closely but from an outsider's looking in pov, Aki's inclusion and Zebo's exclusion seems all sorts of wrong from a fairness perspective.

So had a board games night tonight, inspired by some of Tar's recommendations I believe. Only got one game in after all the sport, Ticket to Ride Europe, great great game! Bought Lords of Waterdeep as well but the rules booklet is like 20 pages long, hmmm that's very intimidating! Who had played it?

Have a kilo each of very good quality mushrooms, minced beef, and peppers. Also some excellent quality garlic and onions.

Am thinking something minimal like cook them all together and just add salt and pepper and serve with pasta. Is there any secret ingredient that might lead to a more spectacular dining outcome?

Yes. Bin the mushrooms.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

...

[Strewelpeter]

Just add onions
Fry off with the garlic and if you have any, celery and carrots.
Then add the meat and the rest.

[Raoul Duke III]

Has that changed since I first read it? Thought it was more insulting first time of looking at it, but maybe that was the effect of no coffee.

I actually thought that was a joke account.

Nope.

Nothing matters, apparently

Same here! Played Takenoko. A beautiful brilliant game. I'd highly recommend.

Glad you guys liked! People are always open to takenoko because of the art and pandas. There are more maps for ticket to ride, inhale a small Nordic on that is great for 2 or 3 players.

If you liked takenoko youll probably like another of their games called takaido. It's about going on a relaxing holiday and whoever has the best time wins.

Lords of waterdeep is surprisingly easy to play, it's a brilliant game too. With most games once you give it a go it's much easier than just trying to read the rules alone. Still, a bit more complex than ticket to ride all right.its mostly a game where you collect resources and buy things.

[Morihei]

The best games have the simplest rules.

The Dáil Bar tab reached over €31,000 at the end of August.

According to the Sunday Times, one TD ran up a bill of €1,200 over the summer, despite the Dáil sitting for just eight days.

Earlier this year Leinster House decided to write off €5,500 of debt as there was no prospect of it being recouped.

Glad to have them looking out for us.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

[Keane]

Does the dail bar make a profit? I'd imagine it does. In which case expected losses might be built into prices. In the same way as credit card costs build in expected default rates.

@ Flushdraw.

A few of the lads from my darts team/league are over for the Malta open. I know you like your darts so if you are at a loose end during the week it might be worth popping down for a look. There are no big names there but the set up looks good.

http://www.dartsmalta.com/malta-darts-open-2017/malta-open-fixtures-results/

Guys to look out for who are on my team/league, James Brown, Matt Smith, Sam Salt, Julio Barbero. They would all be in with a decent chance if they can stay sober enough .
If you do go down say hello to them, they are all good lads and I told them you were living there.

[gorrrr72]

Hey all, been a while. I am trying to post a blog in the blog section but there is no option to post a new thread.

Good blog Keith. WP on all the recent scores. Nice to see someone who commits to the game get the return. GL in the future.

Cheers Gordon I was going to take a spin up last year with a couple of the lads, but they all decided against it. It's a bit of distance away from me but if a couple of the lads fancy it, i'll head up. Be a good excuse for a few drinks. Cheers for the headsup!

[Keane]

Going to have to assess the appropriateness of our board game budget at some point before it bankrupts us. But just ordered a mixture of grown up and kid games (daughter is obsessed with board games at the moment):

I bought that Jaipur one a couple of months ago but still haven't gotten around to playing it.

Had herself order me a crokinole board for a birthday - we used to play it in college, it's some craic

Sounds good Tony, I might head over next year for it, I'll see how my game is and how the funds are before deciding. Looks like it would be worth it for the experience anyway.

Matt was runner up in the Spanish nationals this year and Sam won the mens Spanish national pairs competition with Mark Farmer (who is not at Malta). Matt just pipped me 4-3 last night in the semi final of of a local annual tournament, he's a cracking player and I had chances against him (wired tops twice for the win) happy with the 3rd place and took out a couple of big scalps along the way.

I got an amazon fire stick, downloaded kodi, covenant etc and ipvanish. when the vpn is switched on nothing will open. I can get into the TV shows section but nothing happens when I select any of the sections. Works when vpn is switched off, im living in germany and they are clamping down so really need to get it working before I can use it properly. Anyone have similar problems before? scrolled through a lot of forums and cannot seem to be a solid answer how to fix it.

Can see the difference in marine behaviours now the cameramen dive on rebreathers. No bubbles and being able to dive shallow for hours has made sequences like the grouper spawning and the various hunts possible. Huge leaps in camera tech since last series too. Seeing the eggs on a mantis shrimp was awesome, love the colours on those.
