I'm not really one for indulging in schadenfraude but in this case from the property section of the IT I'll make an exception


The Georgian house, built in the 1780s and sold for €700,000 in 1997, was last sold in 2006 at the peak of the market for over €10.5 million to a buyer who ran a holistic healing centre there.

Holistic my arse.

Yup, except for some reason, I have always liked the Keith Lemon character

Fishfinger sandwiches all-round for the rest of the week by the looks of it

The Chinese economic powerhouse led by ramen exports will continue its upward trend unabated.

what sort of a gamblor are you? Man up ffs

get the credit card out and get out of jail

Monastrell in the next at Thurles imo

[Jackyback]

Always the optimist 3.15 thurles. A friend passed it on as a tip.

[The Situation]

Monastrell in the next at Thurles imo

King of Ardcarne is my only bet of the day EW in that race. Will love the conditions. Fav is very short.

RE Finkle's tip, I doubt it would have been available at 3/1 at the off if conections had any serious money on him. The ease at which it was to back at a decent price put me off.

[Lurker23]

So I cracked the screen on my laptop a few months ago. Sent it away for repairs on my coverplan.

Rang them after 6 weeks ---> We've misplaced your laptop.
Rang them after 8 weeks ---> We found it and will have it to you within 10 working days.
Rang them after 10 weeks ---> We've lost it again.

So I ended up getting vouchers for PC World / Currys. Now I really wanted a new desktop since I got a decent netbook in the States earlier this year but they're so overpriced in these shops. So I'll build my own. Anyhow I picked up a 40" Samsung for my room, a wall bracket and a decent set of sennheiser ear bud headphones. Funny thing was the salesman tried to sell me a HDMI cable for €40. Told him to politely gtfo and picked out the headphones.

Anyway, I've two quick questions that are totally unrelated to each other.

(1) I need some kind of comfortable seating for my room. I was thinking of a beanbag or something along those lines. Anyone have any advice?

(2) I'm thinking of picking up a kindle. Anybody got one and do you like it? My only reservation is that I think I'd miss the feel and smell of a real book.

[Raoul Duke III]

not a bean for either of our two

[NewApproach]

Got a reliable tip for Im A Legend in the 3.20 at Wincanton, if ye lot have anything left by that time!

He has been in good form recently (won last 2), yard in good form, ground should be fine and the step back in trip should be no problem. The favourite is unexposed and our fella has been raised 12lbs for his last 2 wins, but the 3/1 on Im A Legend represents much better value than 11/8 the favourite.

[Bubbleking]

Lads in fairness to Finkel it wasn't a bad tip. Hallo Ladies ran a good race. The leader stumbled at the 2nd last and knocked HL out of her stride. AP had to go the long way around but got cut off again crossing the last.

Also LOL at won well - won by a length (length and a half max) and was blessed not to fall at the 2nd last

[Angry-Ball]

This.

While the lads here are probably posting tongue in cheek, nothing irritates me more than when someone is moaned at for providing a tip with good intentions.

And FWIW, he went odds on in running so anyone could have laid off if they wanted to.

[Zod]

Then who is Leigh Francis?

the guy who plays avid merrion and Keith Lemon.

Have not read the BBV at all today and just noticed the talk of tips after I posted mine, mine is obv doomed.
I always put up a tip if i get a call it is up to the punter to decide if they want to go with it.

And Tony no deal but by all means stick your 200 on and i wil take 25% of any winnings

[hotspur]

You guys are such gambling noobs. You have to factor in what the prime purpose of anyone texting Finkel with a sure thing bet is likely to be, which is obviously pwning him. I read it as the safest lay of the year.

I have been watching the UK Apprentice for several weeks and noticed the blonde chick for the first time last night. So I'm not convinced that she does very much.

Sandesh's eyes are indeed going to be missed, but she never smiled. The brunette Laura has beautiful eyes too. But Paloma, despite being tilt inducingly aggressive, was the hottest, she be a porn star.

[LuckyLloyd]

Paloma was unreal actually, good point.

To be fair, this year's crop of women is the most attractive ever assembled on that show.

However, I can only take even his avid marrion character in small doses.

>Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"?

>Well, here's a prime example offered by an English professor at an

>American University.

>

>"Today we will experiment with a new form of composition called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the

>person sitting to his or her immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph

>and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth.

>Remember to reread what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is to be absolutely NO talking and anything

>STORY:

>(first paragraph by Rebecca)

>At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The camomile, which used to be her favourite for lazy evenings at home, now

>reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked camomile.

>But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much

>her asthma started acting up again. So camomile was out of the question.

>(second paragraph by Gary)

>Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about

>than the neuroses of an air - headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation

>17," he said into his transgalactic communicator "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off, a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

>He bumped his head and died almost immediately but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had

>ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4.

>"Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.

>(Gary)

>Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through the congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien

>empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated th eir diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret Mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid, Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty!
