You come across all sorts of mad shit while killing time in A&E.
So where would you like your remains flushed? Somewhat disappointed this guy didn't go for Flushing Meadows.

It's amazing the numbers of viewers/followers that Hearthstone streamers get; I haven't played in a few years at this point but it looks to have gone from strength to strength in recent times.
I am now constantly watching YouTube vids of people playing old Mario games and the new Zelda game even though I don't play any games myself.... (WTF is wrong with me?! I watch OTHER PEOPLE play Video games.) I turn on Twitch if there are no new vids up.
I also watch all of Tonkaa and JaimeStaples videos on Youtube of their stream highlights.
I watch 5/6 poker vlogs also.
I rarely have time for TV anymore and my GF thinks I'm a nerd. Some craic though.Last edited by eoghan104; 03-05-17, 11:32.

Lovely jumpers will come from some arsey tourist shop in town that sell wool wank to yanks
Cake will be sponsored, preferably by a COGTFO, but any wanky cake/coffee shops patronage will do!
See, only on the job 2 minutes and have already imagineered two revenue streams

I definitely fall more onto the 'I'd rather play my game poorly than watch an expert play his/her game' side of the argument than the other, but have also enjoyed watching League of Legends, poker and even Hearthstone yesterday on Twitch.
Am currently about 35 hours into Zelda Breath of the Wild. It's a god damn masterpiece of a game. 100+ hours there for sure. Highly recommend it.

Do you want me to send on your P60 to him and you can sort out the payment or will I just get payroll to deduct at source.

Most people watching on twitch actively play the game as well, instead of just being a fan of other people playing a sport they don't play. It has an aspect of teaching you to be better as well since the people you watch will generally be pretty good.

I've seen people get individual donations of tens of thousands, one guy I watch has 42,000 subscribers paying €5 a month to him/twitch (€210,000 pm before donations and sponsorship). I was watching him the other day and he got 5k donations in the half hour I was watching.
My real question is who are these people donating, there are so many. They are giving money to rich people that are driving luxury cars, it's weird. A part of it feels very insidious in that a lot of young people would be donating just to be noticed by some random person online that they watch.
EDIT: forgot to say there are also ads, so they get money from that too.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 03-05-17, 13:28.

Heads up to anyone interested in history.
OPW are doing tours of the old magazine fort in the phoenix park. Very interesting and exceptional views of Dublin. Place is basically a building site at the min but great to see it now and then go again when finished with the restoration imo. They leave from Visitor Centre (bus up and down) and are free. 10, 12, 2 and 3.30 every Fri and Sun. Kids need to be kept on a leash !!
The 2 running the tour are gas, reminded me of the husband and wife in Father Ted

A friend got a summons today that could not have been sitting in his letterbox for more than a week, to appear in court on the 25th April for having broken a red light over a year ago.
This is the first time he has ever heard about the breaking a red light incident and tbh he wouldn't be the type but its not impossible. There is no indication if it was a camera or a guard.
The summons issue date is Feb but as I say it couldn't be in the letterbox more than a few days?
Whats his best play here and what sort of fine is the court likely to have already set?#Turning millions into thousands
