these politicians dont fool me - iv seen season 4 and 5 of the wire I know how this shit works...

[Solskjaer]

Listen I tried to help you and C-kid but you havn't a clue imo so I'm off now for the evening, I might play some pokers whilst the cat is away.


keeping the subject off polly thicks.

OK, question for you lot.

Getting sky in now under a shared dish arrangement in my apartment. Only 2 rooms (sitting room and 1 bedroom) have the coaxial connection that the box will need, and only the sitting room has the phone connection. I would like to get the other 2 bedrooms done as well for this.

What is the least messy way to get the other rooms cabled up? I know there is a wireless phone thing ([ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/RTX-WTA-111-Wireless-Phone/dp/B000NJQHL4[/ame]) for phone connections, but does anyone know if you can have more than 1 of these?

Is it a fairly standard thing to get more rooms wired for sky? If it was an outside dish then I presume it would be easier, but it is not. Preferably would not have cables running along skirting boards, etc. Are there people who can do this all without costing an arm and a leg?

I'm a bit clueless about this stuff to be honest.

[CHDad]

by naming him as one of 3 players who inspired Liverpool.

Poor ol Joe COle is struggling without Essien and Co.

Chelski are strugging becuase they are getting old, like I told you at the start of the season feck they are top of the league . THeir defence is a joke atm. Injurys.

J.Cole is shit, I have always said it. Stepovers and flicks against shit teams do not make you class.

Chelsea have been too old for years now, you also said it last season

We had a bad November last year. All this crisis talk is hilarious tbh. Bad patch, missing some class players. Freak result last weekend. Will motor to the title in the new year.

Can't see that image rasta, says I need to be logged in on biker.ie. Maybe upload it to imageshack.

Doing a draft on 2+2. It's been a bit hilarious so far.

Gerrard went 5th which made me LOL, Beckham went sixth which made me LOL and Le Tissier went 7th which made LOL even more, McManaman went 12th jesus, and then someone took Gary Neville at 13 and Ashley Cole at 14.

Keane, Scholes, Shearer and Giggs top 4?

[The C Kid]

Keane, Scholes, Shearer and Giggs top 4?

Shearer - Giggs - Scholes - Keane.

The GAA season tickets are back on sale today. www.seasontickets.ie Cant recommend them enough, fantastic value

[LuckyLloyd]

Out of interest now that the public secttor is a few days from being cut in half, the private sector on the way back in areas and the govt on the way out in Jan. We must be at the bottom now with no more really nasty shocks left to come. Personally I cant wait for the budget as it has been so painfully long coming when everyone kknew what was about to happen so we can asses the wreckage. I think it will be a little bit like walking into New Orleans after the huricane and thinking man this place is in shit but at least the weather is better. Plus it did drive the Sints to take the superbowl so maybe this has all been a massive plan by the IRFU to ensurte a decent showing in the world cup

Three and a half years later unfortunately. And the people who live in New Orleans (or lived) are still suffering the after effects.

Have you heard of Sky Multiroom? I don't have it myself but as far as I know you don't need to run cables around.Sky want you to have a phoneline but if you use an independant installer,they might have a workaround for this...

EDIT: similar question here

I quit the last 2+2 football draft a little ways in. They haven't a fucking clue. Never again.

I remember the first boards Premiership one we did being quite good actually. Two years ago now!

I am getting sky multiroom in, but it is not wireless. That question only deals with phone lines, not cable points, and these are the main concerns. I could deal with the phone line thing easily enough by running cables for them for a night when they tell us to connect them to a phone line.

Why do you need to be connected to a phone line?

[6starpool]

Ignore the phone line aspect of it if you want. I know you don't 'need' to be conencted to it, but if running extra cables anyways, might as well throw a few phone connections anyways.

[LuckyLloyd]

I missed eight.

you need to have a phone line for multi room viewing - its to stop you getting 2 boxes at the multi room rate and giving one to your neighbour (pretty much just guarantees sky get more money)

anyway if you want more than 1 box you need a phone line

[Percy007]

Fabregas 7/1 and Drogba 5/2 1st scorers and a cheeky double.

[Silver-Tiger]

Yup, he prob wasn't better but was a very good player. Would get injured in a gust of wind.

Alan Sugar is meant to tear him a new arsehole in his book.Questioning his injuries and the treatment he was recieveing. I have a mate who was on the books @ spurs @ the start of the noughties and he said that Anderton was the most hated squad member at spurs. He also said that he was the biggest prick imaginable.

[sligoboi]

There's a cause on Facebook called "Do Not Touch Child Benefit"

Does that mean I get some money from the government for refraining from touching children?

[CHDad]

Hey Solksjaer, take a look at the ancient Chelsea lineup tonight!

Is everyone just talking about the phone line to annoy me?

[CHDad]

Don't think you really need the phone line

[Zosma]

There has been no phone line into either of my boxes since they were put in a year ago, but they did run cables to each.

Probably to do with his inability to play football to a decent level

Easy for people to forget his roots since he is so convincing as a poker god.

not to scare what remains of the shite out of you but have a look at this

As you know, I've been talking about this for a few weeks, big difference between a random lunatic on the internet (i.e. me ) and one of the most prominent men in world finance though. I've also been making the Argentine comparison.

money quote:

What you advise your sister in Ireland now is that you’d say take your money out of an Irish bank and put it in another bank headquartered elsewhere,” El-Erian said. “That’s what happened in Argentina and in emerging economies. People worry about their savings

Oh wise Raoul. Why do you want Cowen to resign now? Do you not think that if the Government collaspse we'll be far worse off? FG and Labour won't have the balls to implement a strict budget that is required so Cowen staying on and letting him butcher everything that needs to be done then pissing off is the best solution, no?

outside the state in a strong bank in a core Eurozone country

[Teddie]

what choice have they got? they're in a straitjacket

They'll take the easy way out and make a balls of it by making cuts in the wrong areas? Do you much have much confidence in Labour going after the PS? God forbid Sinn Fein somehow manage to get with the SWP in bizzarre 3 way coalition with Labour.
