If not on vodafone (including me) you can get a vodafone PAYG sim, get some credit, and get 50mb of data for 99c a day using the vodafone live apn. This worked for me recently in Spain. I bought a sim for a tenner, got another tenner worth of credit, and was able to use roaming data for 4 days and still have credit left over. Useful if you want to use google maps or general browsing assuming you don't go over your 50mb per day. Considering I use around 600mb per month in normal usage, unless you are connected to GPS for too long, 50mb in a day is plenty. Not sure if it works in all countries, I suspect not, but the worst that can happen if you have a PAYG sim is that you use your credit up, no huge bill.
It should also work to use the phone as a hotspot for a laptop in the same way in a 3g area.
Where is the "vodafone line apn" thing you mean?

Played a hyper turbo HU SNG on full tilt there, the guy who I sat in with wasn't there so I timed down on every hand to give him a chance to make it. Not really sure what the etiquitte is here. I did let myself win all the pots but took the max time to raise. Anyway he comes back after a few mins and insta shove, I don't have time to type in about shipping him his money back and I call with A7, vs his A6 and he takes the chiplead and finish my sentence about shipping him the money. He says hes the chiplead and doesn't want it, fair enough I guess. I won in the end anyway but..
Does anyone do anything different here?

Gervais may be a total tard in real life, but in fairness to him most of his TV stuff has been top notch.

I mean every interview i've watched and also that series called 'Ricky Gervais Meets' were he meets Larry David, Gary Shandling etc. Ive always thought he has come across quite well and is general pretty funny and intelligent.
I love Ricky Gervais, I went to see him Live in the O2 this year (he was woeful!!!!) I loved all his stand-up stuff, obv. The Office, Extras, etc. but IMO he has just gone completely downhill lately. To me it seems he just couldn't be bothered putting the required work into anything he does lately, I can't stress how completely crap his Live show was earlier this year!!

Originally posted by Flushdraw View PostPut yourself in the hotseat Lloyd. If you have a fully fit squad to choose from, who's your first 11 and what tactical approach to you take? Would you play the same team/style home to Arsenal as away to Blackburn? If you could bring 3/4 realistic targets into the club what positions need to be improved? Why can't you ever seen Hodgson take your approach? Interested to see how far off ideal you think Liverpool really are.
What I would have done differently
- Stand pat on the left back situation if the alternative was spending £5m on Paul Konchesky plus two talented youngsters from the academy. Is Konchesky a better footballer at this point in time than Insua? Probably. But he's 30 and Insua is 22, and Insua would be considerably cheaper in terms of wages for their next contracts at least. This is easily the most fucking chain of transfers for one position that I can remember over the past decade. What is even more bemusing is the fact that the media seems to have completely ignored the terms of the deal and the astonishingly bad value they represented;
- Beg, borrow or steal another center forward. LOAN SOMEONE FFS!! In the last week of the transfer window there were a number of strikers in play around Europe with a similiar or better level of ability to N'Gog or Jovanovic. N'Gog has done fine for a player of his age, he's rough and ready in terms of his overall game, but improving and with a surprisingly decent goals per game ratio. But we needed another body for that position, anyone really. Talk of not having the 'right player for the right price' doesn't cut it when it was such a pressing matter and other teams around Europe have been demonstrating time and time again that you can loan players;
- Keep Aqualani. This one really has pissed me off to be perfectly honest. Dude looked good towards the end of last season, but again, we are not overladen with attacking options and the deal we cut with Juventus was shocking from our perspective. We're still paying 40% of his wages FFS!!;
What I would do differently
- Not start Carragher ahead of Agger or Soto;
- Not play Gerrard as a deep lying or box to box midfielder;
- Demand that our foremost four players actively pressure and press the opposition, and get angry when our midfield four or five sit as deep as they have been doing;
- Insist that our center backs up the percentage with which they pass the ball to a teammate within a 30 yard radius;
Carragher is still useful to have around, but he is clearly not a better player at this point in his career than Agger (who isn't as good as he is made out to be) or Soto (who does some things brilliantly and a few things horrendously). Gerrard provides no rythm from the center of the park. His game is not suited to dictating play from that position. He is a gambly player - the man to try the ambitious slapped pass or pick the direct option in and around the box. But that CANNOT work in the modern game as a central midfielder. You spend too much time without the ball.
And when we're giving the ball away as much as we are at present, to be sitting so deep all the time is basically suicidal. The pattern of our games so far this year has been to concede position easily, then allow our opponents the first two or three passes in their half for free. You'd want to be damn good at center half and defensive midfielder for that to work as a strategy - and we just aren't anymore.
My first 11 is (assuming full fitness):
----------------------------------------Reina---------------------------------------------
Johnson---------------------Skrtel--------------Agger-------------------------Aurelio
------------------------------Poulsen-------------Meireles-------------------------------
Kuyt------------------------------------Gerrard----------------------------------Cole
-----------------------------------Torres------------------------------------------------
We are missing Kuyt massively the last couple of weeks. His energy and hustle makes things happen when the chips are down, and he crucially protects Johnson and allows the England dud to concentrate on what he does best (maraude down the touchline) a bit better.
Most importantly though, I'd start setting a winning tone. Time to man up, forget about pleasing the fucking media and being the manager opposition fans like to respect. Roy:
YOU ARE NOT FUCKING HAPPY WITH A POINT AT BIRMINGHAM.
YOU WILL NOT LET FERGUSON CRITICISE YOUR PLAYERS UNCHALLENGED
This is Liverpool. Our goals are higher. Whether we are immediately capable of reaching them is not the point. When there is a distinct air that you don't believe, how can you possibly expect your players to when they walk out on to the pitch?

Originally posted by Elshambo View PostNot being smart but you can only watch games in detail in the stadium, the detail is what happens off the ball not on the screen
Originally posted by Elshambo View PostWas going to break this up but...
The centre two are missing the shield infront of them, the 3/4 of them knew each other, takes time to replace, build a working relationship
Carra's legs are gone, No combination of Skrtal, Carra or Agger have ever looked like a pair to me ever though all 3 have their good points

Out of his depth is the cheapshot of the angle shooter at a man only in the job a few monthsOriginally posted by Elshambo View Post?
The wisdom of appointing him on the basis of his record has to be the idea that he is adept at parachuting in somewhere and steadying the ship for a couple of years before shipping on / stepping aside. As such, when things are off to such a bad start you have to wonder - because there is nothing in his record to suggest that he is a slow starter with a track record of turning things around in a big way over a 3 year+ period.
Originally posted by Elshambo View Postas for playing worse
Missing Torres
New players to be bedded in, Wenger gives players over a year to settle
Liverpool fans seem to give players 6 weeks (the worst of them so far signed by Rafa)
Squad he took over has no shape to it imo (and the opnion of a lot of people around the game in Engerland)
When Liverpool played well in the old system so many times the goals were bits of magic from Gerrard/Torres it is a joke
Two of our new players are past the 30 mark. This isn't an Arsenal situation of being patient with players in their late teens / early twenties. Konchesky and Poulsen are all that they're going to be by this stage in their careers. I'd have no problem suffering Insua playing like Konchesky did last Sunday because he has years ahead of him to develop. These lads don't - I demand better than this level of performance from the get go, sorry.
Yes, the squad lacks dynamic wide players. It lacked those same players in 2008 / 09, and we got our record points total in the Premiership. We lacked them last year, and we were looking more competetive in games.
Go back and dig the tapes out sir - try Juventus, Real and Inter at home. Chelsea and Utd away, etc, etc. It wasn't all down to Torres and Gerrard. So much of our success was based on the ferocity with which we got in the opposition's fucking face, the tempo and toughness.

I wonder if Gervais will ever do a TV show again, now that he's into films and directing and all that.

I used the internet on it every day over there (Friday night although it may have been saturday technically until Monday) and not just for a few minutes either, as well as a few texts, and just checked my balance now on that sim, and it is €5.15, so it does work.

All our changes to our service contracts we will be posted here with at least one month's notice. You can read about all modifications here.
If you're a pay as you go customer
You pay daily as you use the service, and you only pay for the days you use. Our standard rate is 99c for a 50MB daily usage allowance, and €1 per MB thereafter (0.1c per KB).
and in there you should be able to select the vodafone live one. Here is another boards thread about the difference between the 2 types of roaming data.
