Just getting around to the latest Boardwalk Empire, a certain character from The Wire has made an appearance Yo !

No spoilers here...

I've only seen the first episode so far and he was in that. You mustn't have been paying attention.

BBV Q time.

Who is the mechanic here again ?

Wife had her car in for service a few days ago, ripped off if you ask me but they also told her of things that needed to be done, and she told them hold off, they were kind enough to supply a list:

2x no.plate bulbs €30
PSF fog bulb €30...the 60 includes focus lights, now how one would focus a no plate or fog light is beyond me, if its the headlights they are on about, that should have been included in the service, but i digress.

The killer is both front and rear disks and pads need to be done soon, still legal but recomended, 220 for front and 200 for rear, along with 2 front brake hoses for front @ €160. I priced these up myself and disks and pads come in about £100 front and back and hoses, pack of 4 come in at £50, delivered, less than €200. Thats a pretty whopping saving of €400.

Now, the question, I am handy enough but have never changed brake related stuff, looked at some tutorials on youtube and it aint rocket science, would people reccomend diy brake work ?

Edit: life insurence is all up to date !

What did you do? Mine's been dropping all day too.

Mine is UPC I assume you have them aswell?

I tried this got it from the broadband section on boards.

How to do this depends on your OS but for windows 7 you
1: Right click on your network icon beside the clock and pick "open network and sharing center"
2: Pick "change adapter settings" and then right click on your network connection and pick "properties"
3 Double click on "Internet Protocol Version 4" and you will see the TCP/IP properties.
4 Where it says "obtain dns servers automatically" change to the "use these dns servers" option
5 Put these numbers in 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
6 Make sure you have them exactly right, you may have to type "067"
7 Hit "apply" and back out.
If you couldn't get online because of dns servers being down this should sort it. Get more info by googling "opendns"

But its the best idea to go for something thats value.

Technically I think a short odds one is better for you though in a free bet, all else being equal.

I've only seen the first episode. I'm not a torrent man when it comes to films or tv and there was a distinct difficulty in getting good streams when it started due to HBO being pricks / rightly protecting their expensively produced and brilliant copyrighted materiel.

Will catch the 2nd episode some time this week.

"I'm Still Here"

Really, one of the finest pieces of comic acting you'll see. And in the slight non zero possibility that it isn't a deliberate piss take, it really is the most awesome human car crash ever put to film. Go see it.

Reviews are terrible, but his Letterman interview was excellent! Ah sure, must give it a go.

I find reviews themselves lately are terrible.

Does anyone know of a website that lists future release dates for films in Ireland. Looking to see if a french film 'Our Day Will Come' will be released here. Nothing on IMDB and entering Our Day Will Come in google ain't throwing up much except for the obvious http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1651328/

[Mellor]

What a star! Do you remember the movie where he was trying to be a policeman but wasn't tall enough?!

Read about him most recently in Tony Hawk's (he of 'Round Ireland with a Fridge' fame) book 'One Hit Wonderland', where he managed to get a number one hit with Norman Wisdom in some obscure Eastern European country (Albania perhaps). Turns out their dictator was so obsessed with Norman Wisdom that only Norman's movies were allowed to be shown on tv while he was in power.

Wiki says its Albania.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Wisdom#Popularity_in_Albania

Wisdom was a cult icon in Albania, where he was the only Western actor whose films were allowed in the country during the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha. He was known as "Mr Pitkin" after the Gump character from his films. In 1995, he visited the post-Stalinist country, where to his surprise he was greeted by many appreciative fans including the then president of Albania, Sali Berisha. On a visit in 2001, which coincided with the England football team playing Albania in the city of Tirana (of which Norman was granted the freedom in 1995),[15][16] his presence at the training ground eclipsed even that of David Beckham. He appeared on the pitch before the start of the Albania v England match wearing a half Albanian and half English football shirt. He was well received by the crowd especially when he performed one of his trade mark trips on his way out to the centre circle.[17]

In his book and TV series One Hit Wonderland, Tony Hawks united with Wisdom and, along with Sir Tim Rice, released a single "Big In Albania" in an attempt to enter the Albanian pop charts. It reached number 18 in the Top Albania Radio chart.[18] Wisdom's fondness for Brighton & Hove Albion is renowned in Albania and consequently there are many "Seagulls" fans in Albania

And this is why the Catholic church can't make friends.

Creating the means for 4 million babies to be born is now a bad thing!

(never mind that the Nobel prize is an amazing crowning glory for a guy who is apparently on death's door and has less than months to live)

Considering the Churches position of embyros having "life" at point of creation then its hardly surprising that they have that position. It's not a case that they are against science having an involvement in the birth (although they are hardly thrilled about that either)

Just can't understand so many things about the religion. It seems to try to be stupid. I mean kids are being born who wouldn't otherwise be born, and they are criticizing it!

Getting to the point now where I wouldn't want to get any kids of mine baptized in the Catholic church. No matter how many individual nice priests there might be, the whole religion is an embarrassment.

Dusk Till Dawn, Europe’s largest poker venue, is attempting to break the record for the largest ever poker tournament held in the UK. The record currently stands at 730 runners, held by the EPT London. The Dusk Till Dawn Grand Prix will take place on Friday 29th – Sunday 31st October. Players will have the option of playing Day 1A on Friday or Day 1B on Saturday, before returning to play Day 2 on Sunday. Each person will be playing for their slice of the £40,000 guaranteed prize pool – which equates to a staggering 800 runners. The winner will net a cool £13,000 – that’s 260 times their £50 entry fee!

I'm going. Anyone else up for invading Nottingham?

PSF fog bulb €30...the 60 includes focus lights, now how one would focus a no plate or fog light is beyond me, if its the headlights they are on about, that should have been included in the service, but i digress.

The only thing I can think of is that you need new lenses to cover the num plate ones? Otherwise the sum total of the 3 bulbs should be about 5 euro

The killer is both front and rear disks and pads need to be done soon, still legal but recomended, 220 for front and 200 for rear, along with 2 front brake hoses for front @ €160. I priced these up myself and disks and pads come in about £100 front and back and hoses, pack of 4 come in at £50, delivered, less than €200. Thats a pretty whopping saving of €400.

Now, the question, I am handy enough but have never changed brake related stuff, looked at some tutorials on youtube and it aint rocket science, would people reccomend diy brake work ?

Edit: life insurence is all up to date !

That seems a little cheap for 4 discs and sets of pads. Whats your car, are you sure it has disks on the back? Have you checked the hoses to see if they are really bad. They could have just been inventing stuff. Brakes are certainly do-able DIY, but you'll need stuff like g-clamps and other tools not everyone has lying around. Also, the first time you do it, it'll take you an age.

[bp_me]

2x no.plate bulbs €30

About a euro each. Or if you are in Waterford I probably have some you can have for nothing.

PSF fog bulb €30...

Sounds pricey. Check www.powerbulbs.co.uk (or maybe it's .com). On a side note you should almost never use fog lamps so they should never need replacing. Oh and bulbs should be replaced in pairs generally. Often if one side goes the other side isn't far behind anyway.

The killer is both front and rear disks and pads need to be done soon, still legal but recomended, 220 for front and 200 for rear, along with 2 front brake hoses for front @ €160.

https://www.camskill.co.uk

Disks and pads are easy (though not the first time on your own if you aren't used to working on things like that. In particular expect the calliper bolts to be difficult to remove.). I would be less inclined to do the hoses by myself and am surprised they actually need changing. There will be a few gaskets that aren't immediately apparent and you will need to bleed the brake lines yourself afterwards.

That seems a little cheap for 4 discs and sets of pads.

If you buy original equipment yes. If you buy the EBC discs from camskill it's about £100 for a full car worth of discs (model dependent of course).
