      Binged Deadwood over the last week and a bit.
      Am glad I got to skip the 13 year wait for the movie.
      The sudden aging of the cast was a bit jarring.

        I met our buddy Pa out running in Limerick lately and we've been out on the bikes a few times since. He was wondering what ever became of you, I told him I didn't know but for that you were still alive! Where are you in the world and what are you doing with yourself anyway?

          I've them turned off for ages while I was mostly browsing at work but trying to turn them on again now and I get the following message:

          Can't find any box to check. Not sure if it's a me problem but if someone knows how to get around it let me know. No need to go to any trouble. The new VB is a bit of a departure but easy enough to get used to in fairness, thanks for all the work.

            This was the entrance to Nutgrove SC yesterday evening. No one could drive in because of the queue to get into McDonalds. They had even reorganised the queue within the car park, meaning that there was room for about 70 cars before it would block the entrance. Nutters!

                    Your plane clearly falls under the heading of 'vital necessity'. The government should be paying you imo.

                      These days I'm rarely drunk enough to even consider eating either. Also, don't have a car.

                          Not sure how I feel about this. What is the closest we can get to the old style? I must have been one who posted on the test site as I knew I had posted!

                            someone should tweet Hitch, I have this image of him completely lost in cyberspace

                            Equally possible he has gone on a bender of epic proportions.

                              I suggest changing your style to Old School

                              Edit: actually, just tried Wood there and it might be the new winner...

                                It didn't change anything? or do I need to do something else. It was on default VB style

                                    No, just change the style in the bottom left hand corner and it updates automatically. The "Wood" style is very acceptable.

                                      I changed to wood, didn't look much different and back to old school. I did try the dark, but not keen on that one. Cheers

                                        Black/Red is my favourite but in truth none of them really change much other than colours/fonts. The core 'look' always stays the same.
                                        It will take a bit of getting used to, especially as we are all old gits.

                                                          Might get back into Deadwood, I watched like a season and a half or two seasons of it and just packed it in about a year ago. Was looking for something to watch and was told I might like Red Road but it's awful. If any of you haven't seen Longmire it's well worth a watch. I'd liken it to Justified kind of as the main character is a lawman and it's a modern day western. Hap and Leonard with MIchael Kenneth Williams is another show I enjoyed. I'm gonna check out Get Shorty. If anybody needs anything, as soon as the cousins is back up I can help out. I don't think Longmire is available over here.

                                                                Shouldn't have taken more than a couple of hours for a full format

                                                                  Good point actually and with 4K video you could spit out 4GB files pretty quickly. I don't know if it supports NTFS or other file systems but definitely worth checking. I was karting a few months back and my mate gave me his GoPoor (Gearbest type job) to record the race. It split up the files on the sd card, could easily be related to this. I'd say GoPro will release firmware update for the camera that does a quick format by default at some stage.

So said the lady in the Dublin French school yesterday as she bumped us up from waiting list to places offered. A rather tasty 17,500 annual fees for the two. Not sure I fully thought that one through. Hadn't realised shraaaap was a gazillionaire when following his recommendation.

Not perfect, but it's better. You can see this link on the homepage under the Forums tab. I tried to move it to the top navigation bar, but it's not doing that. I'll see if I can play about with it a bit or find something better.

Ended up on the TV table as was drawn with, as far as I could figure out, some form of famous Bulgarian glamour model/porn star type. She couldnt play poker for toffee but was far from plain based on the daggers I was getting from the wife from the rail for drooling .

The continuing queue at McDonald's has dashed any hopes I had that humans might have reflected on their behaviour over the last while, and tried to make some positive changes.

                                                                                                              On a personal note I've created a new photography website for myself over the last couple weeks, will be a work in progress trying to learn bits & bobs, if y'all have a minute could you give it the once over and let me know what you think, if you spot mistakes etc please drop me a line. Flushdraw has reached out to me about some SEO stuff so looking forward to picking his brain.

The continuing queue at McDonald's has dashed any hopes I had that humans might have reflected on their behaviour over the last while, and tried to make some positive changes.
