Love it

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

Sounds about right imo

Nah. It's brutalistic. The guy resigned. Shame him and send him on his way. There's no chance his future behaviour is affected by whether or not he goes to prison, so it has no rehabilitation purpose.

[Dice75]

Did you try Enterprise Naas? They had cars and were at their normal rates about weeks ago

Ended up using these lads, cheers SP

Far cheaper than most availability in Dublin yet still 3x the price of anywhere on mainland Europe. Gouge the tourists for all they're worth.

[Raoul Duke III]

Is it 'six months in prison' vile though?

Sounds about right imo

He may get better acquainted with rats in his next lodging.

Fuck him, that's pretty vile.

Apparently she is single, could be a good time to chance your arm, you might strike it lucky!

I cant say the same so am restricted to drooling

[Lao Lao]

No accounting for taste: a stunner IMHO who can also sing

I was only speaking to somebody somewhat recently about how I have an irrational hatred for Una Healy, it's a strange one but the mere sight or sound of her puts me on tilt.

That's Keanu reeves with Rover Phoenix, it's a little snippet from my own private Idaho

ah right. I was wondering if that was your formal voice or something like that.

[Hectorjelly]

Thats great!! Is the small bit of talking around 3.45 you, or a clip?

My latest song is out today. It's very acoustic, so it might suit people here a bit more than normal! https://open.spotify.com/track/65WcIfBym46XQ72EYf1IOm?si=de31f6424daa40c6

oooh didn't know that trick! i usually just buy one for a tenner on ebay

[hotspur]

Did you buy a generic usb-c cable/charger or a generic iPhone cable/charger?

iPhone use their lighting connection to charge rather then universal connection. And confusingly, you can get a usb-c to lightening cable - the usb going into the wall/transformer end.

You might be aware of all of that. Just checking in case you just grabbed a usb-c cable. And of the cheap iPhone cables I’ve had worked without issue - initially at least.

A friend gave me one of his chargers and I'm sorted thanks. Was just a dud charger.

[DeadParrot]

i'd personally replace it with a 512gb ssd. pretty cheap these days

I'd be worried about how long the SSD would last given its age, don't store anything important on it without cloud backups

Question . The job is selling off old laptops to staff for 100 quid. Some are 6/7 years old but work ok. I was going to but one as a pressie for a teenager relative. I know the components wear out but how long would you get from one of these? Refurbished.

Dell Latitude E7240
Processor : Intel Core i7-4600U vPro
Memory : 4Gb DDR3 ( MT4KTF25664HZ )
Hard Drive : 128GB SSD ( SH920 mSata )

Thats a decent present for someone! I'd say the ram could probably profitably be updated to 8gb minimum, but should be fine apart from that.

Is this shown anywhere, highlights etc?

Sorry just saw this now. Hellmuth chinned. It was live streamed on poker go. They hadn't planned on doing it but made a last minute decision when Phil final tabled. They couldn't show hole cards so you didn't miss much really. Couple of minor rants was all.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

Yes. Definitely not taboo. In fact a lot of people seem quite willing to share and discuss the pain around the circumstances. I remember reading an academic article by a colleague and friend who I had lost touch with and she described having a miscarriage at a conference and her devastated feelings around it. Deeply moving, and great that it is indeed no longer taboo. - but also it is definitely a highly sensitive topic.

[Solksjaer!]

I think TABOO is entirely the wrong word to use in this case. I think ‘sensitive’ should be the word. It is sensitive information.

[Mellor]

It's not a taboo subject.

It definitely is taboo. It's tabooness to so ingrained and accepted that people don't even realise.

As an example, I'm sure you are aware that people don't tell friends that are pregnant until first scan/3 months/12 weeks. Ask yourself why.

Hellmuth currently HU for his 2nd bracelet of the WSOP in the 10k Dealers choice against the guy who's won it the last two years

My elderly aunt ended up being gifted an iPhone SE. It comes without a charger so I bought a cheap usb-c one but it isn't charging. I don't know why. Can anyone please recommend one to get.

iPhone use their lighting connection to charge rather then universal connection. And confusingly, you can get a usb-c to lightening cable - the usb going into the wall/transformer end.

And new all-time high for my driving skills, as I have just been finally awarded a driving licence at the sprightly young age of 44.

Got report on my back injury and panicked a bit and sold my lovely coins in case of expenses etc. Instant increase in price.

Lost out on a nice €1900 profit so far.

Reverse barometer but at least made a small profit.

172 to win for Ireland. Very tough ask.

Pity we couldn't get that fourth wicket when we had them crumbling.
