So after Chalky’s monologue about his dad, Jimmy’s in “Nights In Ballygran,” and Capone’s in that one concerned his son is being “punished for the shit I done,” all tie into the tapestry brilliantly. They all tell us more about the character and what drives them
Dont forget that scene started with Jimmy thinking al had come to kill him after Jimmy exposed Al's fake war stories.
Try ignoring the single trees and appreciating the woods as a whole every know and then.

Christmas night out in town for about 25 people. Preferable somewhere that we could stay on after the meal for a few drinks (decent bar food acceptable). Prob a Thur/Fri night. Not looking for a five course job with champagne.
Salamanca would be my own preference but don't think you can stay there or if you'd want to, but thats the kind of thing I'm looking for if you catch my drift (ie reasonable enough).
Thanks.One of these days I am either going to quit poker or learn how to play the damn game

An added bonus and little known fact is Dutch tradition has Santy's helper as Black Peter who is a gollywog character so Amsterdam is FULL of people dressed in blackface going mental while you trip off your balls.
Excellent weekend and would heartily recomend it.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Solskjaer gone back to Norway
Originally posted by Manutd.comSir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will return to Norway to take up the managerial post at one of his old clubs, Molde FK.
Speculation about the former striker's future has been rife over the past week. Sir Alex said on Tuesday: "Ole's accepted the position in Molde and he leaves with our best wishes. He's been a fantastic servant, and he's contributed to the development of our young players.
"I think that his career as an outstanding professional footballer gave him a foundation to get into coaching. He's had a great introduction with our reserves and this is the right time for Ole to take up his first managerial position. Ole will do well at Molde FK and we wish him all the best for the future."
Solskjaer, who scored 126 goals during his 11 seasons as a player at Old Trafford, was forced to retire in 2007 after a long struggle with a knee injury. He then moved into a coaching role, initially working with the club's strikers before taking the reigns of the reserve team (with assistance from Warren Joyce) in summer 2008.
In that role, Solskjaer has won the Premier Reserves League North title, the Premier Reserves League play-off and both the Lancashire and Manchester Senior Cups.
Now, though, he is eyeing success at first-team level, at the club where he spent two years as a player before joining United.
"He feels it's time to go back to Norway," Sir Alex said. "It's a good start for him and I'm sure he'll do well."

Rubicon was weird.
Compulsive viewing even though I kind of kind of knew what was going to happen next at every step along the way. Most of the time it felt like there was really only 6 episodes of material in it and they were dragging it out yet they finished it off fairly suddenly and with too many loose ends. I'm still a bit confused about the end was it meant to be a cliff hanger for the next season or what andSPOILERwho was the neighbour working for Were we told and I missed it or what ? I mean obv David had her stashed away but she wasn't on her own
Some of the characters especially the bad guys seemed poorly drawn and there were massive holes in their motivation.Turning millions into thousands

BBV Help
A friend of mine got a harassing text of an unfamiliar O2 mobile number. Is there anyway of finding out who it is or tracing the number?
The voicemail hasn’t been setup and it doesn’t ring so there’s a chance a sim might have been purchased for the sole purpose of sending the text.
To say I’m not happy about the whole thing is an understatement
Can anyone help?You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked

This is a start...
Mobile phones help us stay connected. But sometimes they can be used for the wrong reasons. People can send inappropriate text, picture or video messages. That’s why we’ve developed ‘Block It’. So if you're getting any nasty messages, now you can do something about it. ‘Block It’ is totally free. So no matter how many numbers you block, it won't cost you a cent.
Set Up Block It
Block It is easy to set up and use. To get started, just text BLOCK IT START to 50216.
Block A Number
To block a number, just text the word BLOCK and the number to 50216. This will block all text, picture and video messages from this number. This also means you won't be able to send any messages to this number.You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked

from that RTE article:
Mr Rehn paid a courtesy call to Taoiseach Brian Cowen at Government Buildings at around 7.45am this morning."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

That, I'm afraid is bullshit.
We have to remember that we as a nation are quite young and democracy was/is still a new system to the irish psyche. That mindset, WW2, communism, ignorance (on a national level), no infrastructure and good old common greed kept FF in power more than lazy voters. The thing is, the older generation are still much more likely to vote, get organized and protest than the current cynics of our generation.
As for a drop to match deflation, while on paper it seems good, it would never get back in line.
Old people have a god given right to piss themselves, have a few pints and not worry about shit like the tv fucking license. I for one, cant wait to be that old.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I got my new fancy financial calculator today from Amazon (for CFA)
I whipped it out of the packaging all excited to try out the functions. First thing I notice is that the screen says BAL = 1,227,705,192
So naturally I start pressing buttons to make the damn thing clear and go back to zero, nothing happens. I read through the first chapter of the manual trying to work out what to do. I try all the available function and second function keys. Nothing works, display is stuck. I curse the manufacturer quite heartily.
After 45 minutes I work out that the 'display' is actually a stuck on piece of protective plastic."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Here is a snippet of the email exchanges we've been having in the last few weeks. I guess I have her trained well.
She was bored and asked me to entertain her. (Obv doesn't read the BBV) read from bottom to top.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We could introduce new demonstration sports:
Slalom skiing through slope full of hidden landmines (first person to get down in one piece wins)
Biathlon with Chechen terrorist targets (if you miss your target you're punishable by death by return fire...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The interview
Hello, what's your name
Igor.
And tell me about yourself Igor
WHAT WAS THAT?
oh nothing.
I HEARD GUNFIRE
really it was just some fireworks.
I HEARD GUNFIRE!!!
Listen Igor you smarmy little fecking git, I've had about enough of your weasling about, we've had it up to here with you fecking cowards. THe 1st little pop and off you run Now sign this . .........GO ON RUN AWAY.
*lights several cigaettes*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, such a drag. The recruitment team must also be made aware of a 20% uplift requirement in numbers to be recruited, basically allowing for a 20% drop off due to resources lost due to terrorist activity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nothing as bloody boring as being murdered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOL very good - I must remember to put "dealing with terrorist attack" onto the training curriculum for all volunteers and games staff )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ve are under attack from chetcin rebels. Please tell all the snowboarders to proceed to area 23. I'll tackle catering and secure the slalom area.
Looks likes it's shelling like last week, I hope they don't start another avalanche.

entertain me!

back to the doom and gloom btw; all the bids on our 10Y debt are over 8% now.
Usual rumours of ECB mopping up, yada, yada.
Now for a prediction:
The next major trend to emerge out of this situation will be deposit flight (for the middle classes, all the big boys have had their money out long ago). This is already happening but has managed to stay under the radar. Within the next two months, it will become the hot topic of middle-class consciousness.
