      Anyone have a recommendation of a place/person to go to in Dublin for a gas stove?

      We have a crappy bog-standard open gas fire, which we NEVER use (apart from a brief month a few years ago when our boiler packed it in), it just doesn't output much heat no matter how long it's on. I feel like a gas stove would 1) provide much better heat and 2) close up the chimney and reduce any drafts in our living room.

        I know this prob not what your looking for. But I have it in my kitchen and it's absolutely brilliant. I got it on adverts about 7 yrs, ago

        The heat from it is excellent plus it has wheels which is a bonus!

            Looking for something like that, but not exactly - I'd guess we want it to run of our mains gas and sit inside the existing fireplace. I know they exist, just not where to get them or who to ask to install them!

                  Be vaguely interesting if someone could run it through some of the tools which we didn't have back then, assign suitable ranges and see who was right.
                  Albeit back then likely ranges were admittedly a tad wider.

                                Given the recent poker nostalgia, I thought some might be interested in PartyPokers decision to make everyone on the site change their alias as well as taking the decision to ban HUDs and no longer provide hand histories.

                                I know bots are an issues but how big an issue I'm not sure. I see pros & cons of the decision. Decent post on 2+2 about the implications and some quotes by Rob Yong:
                                After June 17, you should be aware that partypoker players will no longer be able to download hand histories of their results. With the removal of hand

                                  Why don't they allow you to keep the bottle caps when you buy e.g. a coca cola in a stadium? Just that they have a hard edge that might hurt someone if thrown?

                                          I can’t find my first post. Definitely 2005 or earlier.

                                          Some gas stuff looking back at old posts. I’d love a home game after reading some of that. Some of the highlights for me are the Our Conor Piss Up, the Satnav inspired Karaoke day/night and the heads up knock out comp and the boardie only games in the Merrion. The IO reporting in the very early stages of IPB was mighty fun as well. Great times.

                                                        I didnt listen to the podcast so perhaps he shows a greater knowledge during that but the quotes presented certainly don't shower him in glory.

                                                        I think the decision from the perspective of adding additional security for players is probably wrong. I don't think this will do much to mitigate that. It just means those building bots/software have to work harder.

                                                        However, having read a few bits online around cardchat, 2+2 etc I do think that the bulk of players, most recreational will view this as a good thing. Personally, I think they'll view it as a means of levelling the playing field after the pros have basically solved it.

                                                        From the perspective of adding to security, increased transparency and whatever else they're spouting, nothing changes-argubaly gets worse- but from a marketing perspective it's a good move which I think will entice more recreational players to play there which is their real goal.

                                                          It's hard to describe. Each episode is as cringey as some of the worst scenes from the UK office. For example, he keeps joking about sex with his wife, but only in a extremely juvenile way. No adult talks about sex with their wife, its an unwritten rule known by all men. But the way he goes on about would be embarasssing for a teenager. He seems desperately insecure.

Its like some class of turrets thats encouraged and nurtured rather than treated. He definitely has issues but shur dont we all. But I love Dnegs vlogs and I find them so entertaining!. Hams it up to the camera way too much, I doubt hes like that as much off camera.
                                                                    I love when he tampers down his indignant feelings when someone interupts him mid vidoe for an picture or autograph!. He tells the guy ''I'm doing a video here...but ok yeah ill do a photo'' like a marytr!. Ah wsop wouldnt be the same without Dnegs vlogs.

                                                                                                    I've been playing for about a year now and I've found that the game I get the best returns from is a 9 or 10 seat NL SnG. Is this the same for everyone or is it a case of "Horses for Courses"?
                                                                                                    I also play some cash games, but find that i have to play ultra-tight to make anything from it.
