TIP . Put all socks in a separate washable bag when dirty . Dump bag into machine and pair off when done . Sock black hole cure

Missing socks can be found either behind the boiler or under the bed covered in dust and leap attack biting spiders!

I am not sure if it has been mentioned but PokerStars is running a $5m guaranteed tournament this Sunday for $55

Worth a spin! Interested to see how they get on with the 100,000 players needed to break even.

Would this be a one day job do you think?

[Opr]

Would this be a one day job do you think?

No, it is a 3-day thing if you make it that far!! They always though do the second and third day to suit people working with play restarting around 6-7 pm on the Mon/Tues.

It also means the play does finish at a reasonable hour on Sunday. Now with this thing being so large, that might not be true.

[pokerhand]

Dont know numbers but there was €1800 up top so guessing 45 ish (i wasnt there)

Thats not too shabby... Must try get to it sometime.

[eamonhonda]

If she's vaccinated then she'll only need an antigen test for entry here, not sure how it works for kids really, if there is an age exemption or anything.

On that note, how does one get an official antigen test? Are there providers of that too that will give you an official record of when it was done for travel purposes? I presume you can't just rock up with one from Lidl in your hand, and say "here you go, no covid, I did this yesterday".

Yeah you need an antigen from a supplier. Randox do it at the airport, and I think some pharmacies. Possibly more places too

[Theresa]

We needed a PCR test for coming back to Canada when we were home recently.

Randox in the Clayton Hotel, Leopardstown is where we went. Insanely easy process. Results overnight for us. I think we got them at 4am in the morning. We only paid for the 24 hour results too. I think there is a 4 hour express if needed.

Who are P&F?

[Solksjaer!]

I need to pay more attention. Was trying to figure out how a turbo in the Emporium was taking 3 days to play.


Whilst the cats away.
Like a sad lockdown monkey I bought tickets to the Aussie Pink Floyd on Monday rulling out both an Emporium or a Pokerstars return. I still run bad beat joesque at pokers obv.

we should try and do an IPB meetup to coincide with one of these

[Raoul Duke III]

Ugh. Clearly missed the memo that the Ashes is on BT Sport.

Now I know how soccer fans feel.

Ray Dalio has a new book out...

Revenue are fucking wasters- thought they were generally considered one of the more efficient parts of public service
forms are shite, now they’ve made a fuck up on how much I owe and when I try to ring them turns out the number I’ve been given don’t answer calls after 1.30 pm. Sitting at home on their pyjamas watching Netflix I guess

PS is great craic. I know of a guy who occasionally does a night shift, not sure how long but less than a week of it. He gets four working days off after it to recover.

Get this though, he was able to schedule his annual leave for the night shift, and STILL get the four days off.

That's fucked up.

She accused Dice, who she has never actually met, of sexual assault and made generally outlandish claims. A grade A complete and utter nut job who is best avoided.

Is there still a cousins forum here? I think I lost access when the software was changed. Think it would be a better place for any further discussion.

It tracks the European Central Bank interest rate.

Absolutely bonkers in normal times.
Can only imagine what the last two years have produced.


Started off harmless but odd. Quickly to pretty vile behaviour.

As someone who wouldn’t be the greatest soccer fan in the world what a great experience bringing 2 of my Girls to Tallaght tonight. Ireland played some nice football on a tough night and they have a couple of really good players. The left winger who plays for Arsenal is some crosser of the ball. My eldest just started soccer this year and loves it and even the younger who doesn’t have much interest was reasonably engaged. Tickets for buttons and got to see 7 of the 11 goals at our end.
Didn’t matter that we got soaked. Bag of chips from the local on the way home to top it off.(better chips than my previous employer).

[Ed]

Have been in the SE a couple of times recently, plenty of familiar faces around (staff and players). Brought back a lot of mostly good memories

FFS! Christmas has been going on for a weeks already what ever happened to the 8th of December embargo.

We start on Nov 22 every year since 2016 as it's the Anniversary of my Sisters passing. She loved Christmas more than anyone I ever knew. It's ok SP it will pass.

You're better off embracing it and being the biggest early Christmas cunt you know. Crack them up before they crack you up.

Anyone got a stream for the Liverpool v Everton game later ?
will use a payment one .

[6starpool]

Nice stuff

Whatever about anything else, slagging off someone who isn't here to defend themselves isn't what we should be doing, so everyone, please don't do this.

Ta.

Legally there are 2 ways to do it I believe:
1. Now TV day pass for Sports Extra for all BT Sport and Premier Sports channels - €10 (or a tenner a month for 6 months access)
2. Amazon prime membership (usually a free trial available for a month), then get onto customer service and get them to change your location to the UK which will allow you to watch these games. There are another round of games at the end of the month on Amazon too (or Premier Sports in Ireland, see option #1).

Other than than, streams will be IPTV subscriptions or individual links that may die at some point and be of varying quality.

Has everyone who used to have access to this lost access?

I'm pretty sure vbulletin changed how it did these permissions between the old version and the new one. Anyone who wants access to the cousins again, like this post and I'll update. Otherwise, PM me either and I'll get to it.

Edit: Should be fixed now for pretty much everyone with more than 1k posts.

You'll just need to get support to change your location to the UK then, which I think they used to do easily enough. If you have problems just connect to a new customer service agent, someone will do it for you probably unless they have clamped down on it.

They are being awkward about it. Must be a Brexit thing

Hopefully Hitch hasn't turfed out his asbestos...

[MysteryGuest]

Good to see Fredo Cuomo getting taken out
never forget the fawning unfrocks coverage of his interviews with his brother during the pandemic- they were so obviously wrong at the time but didn’t stop the clips being disseminated as heartwarming fare, meanwhile big brother was actually covering up deaths in nursing homes so he could write a book about pandemic leadership while little brother chased down info on his sexual assault accusers for him

[hotspur]

I'm in the strange situation of being subscribed to both Sky Sports through Virgin and BT Sports through NowTV but I use illegal streams for technical reasons. Anyway soccerstreams.net usually does the job if I'm on the laptop. If you are a Firestick or Android device in the TV man then Lepto Sports app is good.

It's nothing to get excited about. Back when this place was set up it was a place that access had to be specifically granted to were links to torrents and other things like that could be requested/posted. In theory it could also be used to have a more private thread about something/someone, but i don't think that has ever happened yet, but that's what CC was implying.

It should be visible on the forum list on the front page, near the bottom under the community forums.

There actually was one not nice thread which I have deleted now anyway as it was a few years old. I'm not familiar with the above though, but perhaps they were all in the thread I deleted there.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

Was in the card shop trying to buy a birthday card. I'd say a good 70% of available cards for wifes say 'to my beautiful wife', 20% 'to my gorgeous wife', and a remnant 10% 'to my amazing wife'. So 90% of available cards are about looks.

Is it not assuming a very shallow relationship that you might be a decade into a relationship and still your main comment is about whether your partner is a ride? It just seems odd, that no other characteristics in your partner are considered as notable (by card manufacturers).

[Solksjaer!]

Plenty of white space in that card to channel your inner cyrano de bergerac.

No harm in letting her know that a year later you don’t just see her as good with the kids and decent at household maintenance but also still fuckable. Who doesn’t want to know they still have it.
