You probably aren't considering it, but washer/dryers are sh1t in my experience and to be avoided. Have never bought one but have been lumbered with a couple when renting.

nah, have a separate dryer yoke already

[Raoul Duke III]

Senora Raoul has taken to spending lots of time sitting on it perhaps

what are you trying to inseminate?

I'm obviously banned for rail abuse. Possibly due to "getting in with the wrong crowd", as Granny would say...

I am nothing if not a gentleman in chatboxes.

You lack adequate seating in your abode.
Scandalous accusation tbf.


This one has a drink holder, pretty nifty imo.

You should watch Survivor some of the best tv reality stuff going 21 seasons in and its still great, obviously they took some different lines in the run of the show bringing in a few different bits and bobs.

Survivor Samoa is one of my favourites if you get the chance to check it out.

The amazing race is great tv as well

Cheers thou man, was thinking about doing a new deconstruction thread the last while.

This is a great idea. I'd happily do another one now that I've played with a hell of a lot more IPBers than the last one I did.

Danny you should defo do one of these. Those threads were always excellent.

The missus is approaching the big 40 soon. As per usual haven't a clue what to buy her, so I googled 40th Birthday presents.

40th Pint Glass £9.99


A gorgeous, stylish and useful 40th keepsake!


The lovely 40 Pint Glass holds up to a pint of her favourite beer! Beautifully decorated the glass is hand painted in the U.K. in black relief line infilled with grey/cream with the numbers 4 and 0 in each square. Fully washable, it comes with a card of authenticity and has the painters' initials on the base of the glass. Perfect for enjoying a beer or two on any occasion!

The fact that the numbers 4 and 0 are in their own square and that its fully washable nearly sold if for me.

no gloom and doom today (we're fucked; you know it, I know it and the rest of the world sure as shit knows it)

how can I possibly be gloomy when the prospect of free cheese is dancing before my eyes? I can see the queues forming outside Sheridans now.

[Iago]

The Irish Economy forums on boards isare pretty tilting stuff.

I mean in theory I know that the world is mostly populated by muppets and idiots but the sheer scale of it depresses me thoroughly.

[Solskjaer]

Is it 'cause I iz hungover I find silly thing so amusing?.

Had breakfast with some loonie females this morning, one of them was bitching about another one who she described as thick as two planks, as she said this she banged her fist on a thin metal cabinet. I said hmmm that's quite ironic and laughed. The girl pipes up. Are you insinuating I'm thick also? About as thick as that metal counter cabinet you just hit with your fist. blank stare. I got a fit of the giggles whilst her majesty was 'not amused'. Hmm yeah probably the drink.

it's either that or Babybels. And don't even get me started on cheese strings!

Watching one of my recordings of Joesph Mary Plunkett , what a hero that guy was.

About fucking time too.

Now all to need to do is give us free wine and we can party as a nation.

Training exercise for the Europa League final IMO. I'd say the loudest cheers for the Gerrard goals last night came from Garda HQ. I doubt this lot would be quite as easy to push back.

Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on
Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in
the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to
produce an agreement.

The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced the number of
virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by
25% beginning July 1 from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was
the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a
subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.

The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational
Martyrs (or /BOOM/) responded with a statement this is unacceptable to
its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General
Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, "Our members are literally
working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for
much in return but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth".

Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he
currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama Black bin Liner
explained, "We sympathize with our workers' concerns but Al Qaeda is
simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not
accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace.

Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins
in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure
and laying people off. I don't like cutting wages but I'd hate to have
to tell 3000 of my staff they won't be able to blow themselves up."

Spokespersons for the union in the North East of England, Ireland , Wales
and the entire *Australian* continent stated the strike would not affect
their operations as "There are no virgins in their areas anyway".

Apparently the drop in the number of suicide bombings has been put down
to the emergence of a Scottish singing star.(SUSAN BOYLE) Now that
Muslims know what a virgin looks like they are not so keen on going to
paradise.

I was talking to you a couple of weeks back at the pokers about a guy I met in Texas that you look like. It's Peter Rowan. He looks more like you in the flesh than here. He had a big book on the poems of Patrick Kavanagh saying he was a huge fan.

No need for a 17" laptop imo, stick with a 15" or 13.3" Although do you just leave it at home?

What else do you use it for apart from internet?

Mrs Duke likes to watch tv stuff on it so I thought 17 inches would be better?

I'd use it for work (mainly thin client connection to various sites so no major memory requirements), very occasional bit of online pokah. Nothing heavy-duty.

There would probably be enough virgins to go around if they got the maths part right

Nah just get one with a HDMI connection. I presume you have a flat screen TV with HDMI connections so just hook it up that way.

It's a pain in the arse lugging a 17inch around imo.

It's not light, but it is a desktop replacement really so that is to be expected! (even though I've no need for one)

I've had no problems travelling with it as my carry-on luggage, I've brought it abroad a good few times and it isn't going to break your back, but any 17" laptop is bulky obviously.
