What's you plan after you've used up the two toilet breaks? Whats your plan given that the boxes are apparently now sitting in water??

By the way I'd offer odds against you on this....and a location to try it.....

sounds like your typical oxegen weekend minus the music if i was going at this hard core (as in had lost all respect for myself) id address the toilet issue in a number of ways;
A) severe dehydration to take care of the p!ss / use one of my empty water bottles to piss into.
B) use empty food containers to sh!t into

the boxes lying in water is more tricky - the only way around that would be to borrow a dry suit (like a wet suit only water proof) and wear it in - warmth and dryness taken care of

I have no intentions of doing this for 1k by the way im just outlining my strategy

Apple removing things like the Swimsuit Illustrated app from the iPhone store annoys me so much. (they removed thousands of 'sexy' apps from their store yesterday).

I would never be dumb enough to pay for such an app, but who the fck are they to say you can't, if you wish, look at pics of girls in bikinis? That is an absolutely disgraceful level of moralising and control.

Yet they left the playboy one. Loads of the small independent ones were removed, but not the big names. Way to go Apple.

Apples business model is the most depressing portents of what the future of technology could become if people are stupid enough to let it.
Anyone who choses to deal with them is an idiot IMO.

I reckon we could get a prop bet going for 3k at 3/1 with a few people taking pieces of the action if you fancied it.... Obviously we'd have a streaming web cam for BBV viewing....

Here's a pic of the setup in Carlow. There is a net across the top of the perspex but the rain is falling through nicely....

well sure haven't they made a great start by getting rid of the Minister for, er, Vegetables?

simply put, the population cannot possibly absorb the losses incurred by the banks and the developers - it's bad enough that we're on the hook for the fiscal imbalances incurred by FF during the bubble years but to take on what are effectively gambling losses is ridiculous

<analogy time, break it down>
It'd be the equivalent of me and BCB getting locked, borrowing 5 million off a bank on the back of our 'sound' business plan, going to the Aquarium and proceeding to employ the Martingale system on number 37 . Then, following our inevitable busto-edness, we - plus the bank - would then mug you in broad daylight and take, not only the money you have in your pocket but also all the money you and your kids were due to earn for the next fifty years in order to pay for our degeneracy. Then we'd head into Kehoes and starting lighting cigars with your €50 notes, all the while swilling buckets of Chateau Latour 1945.

(all of which sounds like quite a good idea)

[6starpool]

Can I go along on that spree? Sounds like fun.

Olly, what was the name of that place you ate in on Friday again? I have a bad memory for crap like that.

The Blackboard bistro Dom but actually I'd recommend the Pigs ear on Nassau street as being fractionally better. Both have good value early bird meals.

I personally really enjoy the smoked haddock omelette and the brown bread ice cream in the Pigs ear. The Blackboard bistro does have steak on their early bird menu on the other hand....

Did you win it on Friday btw? Tasty payout for the winner as I recall.....

Question for the BBV

Does anyone know of a website that had a load of recopies (healthy mainly) and you add your favorite(s) and it automatically adds the ingredients to a shopping list?

Or evens still, a website thats gives suggested shopping lists and tells what meals will come out of it for the week. I am really bad at thinking and getting stuff for meals in the supermarket and generally end up with ingredients for several half meals.


Cliffs. I never can remember or think of anything to buy when food shopping.

do you have an iphone?

epicurious have an app with thousands of recipes. you can choose which ones you want and it builds your shopping list for you

[Raoul Duke III]

The Blackboard bistro

+1 for this place, was very impressed by it

Whoh be tide we dont have another famine on our hands without a minister looking out for the blight

Didnt need this but I want in if it goes ahead
(all of which sounds like quite a good idea)

I think i will go with the passport idea, if ye decide to have the revolt this country has never had (and should have had by now, if the history of other young countries is anything to go by) I will come back, take the shiny medal and kick some ass

I think our new Ireland should take back the proper flag from the fenians and the looney left (the plough and the stars)

Did some sort of a reluctant chop on Friday. Stewie was a monster chip lead with over 300k, and the next highest had 70k, with the shortie having around 45k, and I was somewhere in between. We took 750 each, and stewie took the rest but he looked after the dealers for us all, so with my scalps I ended up with 800. I wasn't crazy keen to deal, but the blinds were at 4k/8k so it was a bit silly anyhow and I was really tired. I refused a slightly worse deal 5 mins earlier, but agreed to that that revised version a bit later. I came 4th on Saturday night then, so not a bad weekend overall I guess, although it could have been so much better.

[bp_me]

Officially it doesn't exist. Which skin were you planning on playing?

[Raoul Duke III]

Stewie was a monster chip lead with over 300k

that guy is just a chip magnet, no matter how badly he misplays hands he seems to end up with a massive pile of chips (certainly every time I play with him anyway). He's my new poker hero now that I haven't seen Bad Beat Joe for a few months.

So you had 60k in chips and the payouts originally were 2k, 1.2, 800? and 500?

Is that right?

I can understand the tiredness thing. I think I was asleep at the cash table at one point....

[6starpool]

There were 5 left. It was something like 2150, 1200, 800, 500, 350, and I had around 55k ish I think. We played on for around 15 mins after you and Brian left with no real movement except Stewie gathering a few blinds more.

I've no idea how stuey does it. For some reason he always seems to have something even though he's in like 50% of pots. I have no idea whatsoever how he continually goes deep in tourneys. A lot of runhot methinks.

If there is an app for it I guess there is a website that does it too I guess I'll start goggeling.

Cheers though.

I just started renting a room out in my house for €450 per month, so €5,400 per year.

What is the story with the rent a room scheme? Do I have to register with the government and what is the limit now underneath which you don't pay tax?

Any other info greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You have to declare it so he can claim relief, but as RD said Rental income is exempt at that level.

Indeed, got there with 3 balls to spare. A lot of the milestone achievements have been diluted somewhat as they often end up against the likes of Bangladesh in tests and associate nations in ODI's (and England in both). But this one cant be disputed

I know some people here (well, the old BBV) were following this so .....

The market has taken a bit of a beating in January and February but we are still up over 3.0% in two months vs. the market which is down.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 Places for my money, starting now for the full year 2010 (Figures in Bold were the prices at the beginning of 2010)

1. Fresenius Medical Care (FME) - 37.50 - up 3.6% to 38.85

2. Aegis Group (AGS) - 1.17 - up 2.8% to 1.20

3. Virgin Media (VMED) - 17.12 - down 9.8% to 15.44 (buy this stock now IMO)

4. Harris and Harris (TINY) - 4.52 - up 8.8% to 4.92

5. MDC Partners (MDCA) - 8.35 - up 2.9% to 8.59

6. Publicis Groupe (PUB) - 28.67 - up 0.0% to 28.68

7. Liberty Global International (LBTYA) - 22.02 - up 20.4% to 26.52

8. Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) - 4.19 - up 7.7% to 4.51

9. Marriott International (MAR) - 27.71 - down 1.0% to 27.42

Total Portfolio increase from January 1st 2010 to February 24th 2010 was 3.3%

Compares to a decrease of 0.2% for the DJIA and a 2.2% drop for the S&P

Just on this - is rental income under 10k exempt only under the rent a room scheme? Say for example I have a property rented and only received 9k in rent for 2009, would this be exempt?

all it is is that he's covinced most of the regs in there that he's unbluffable so they dont play back at him ever, takes down most pots uncontested. he's good at wat he does imo and if he ever has a hand people call him with anything, he normally gets max value too

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I
kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a
nearby table.

My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'

'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to
drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she
hasn't been sober since.'

'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on
celebrating that long?'

And then the fight started...

Collie, FeetMagic,
There is no need to be aware of those words. I have serious concerns about anybody that has this words in his vocab. I'd consider myself quite open minded when it comes to sex, but WTF?????

They were posted up in the old BBV, so I read about "munting" before, but I had blocked them out mentally, so obviously this time I had to read again. Hopefully I'll block them out again this time too.

Reminds me of this classic...

Direct from the LA Times:

"In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve the gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski, and his homosexual partner Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.

"I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in," he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon', my cue that he'd had enough. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he wouldn't come out again,so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him."

At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman described what happened next. "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out the tubing, igniting Mr Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out like a cannonball."

Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract

Did some sort of a reluctant chop on Friday. Stewie was a monster chip lead with over 300k, and the next highest had 70k, with the shortie having around 45k, and I was somewhere in between. We took 750 each, and stewie took the rest but he looked after the dealers for us all, so with my scalps I ended up with 800. I wasn't crazy keen to deal, but the blinds were at 4k/8k so it was a bit silly anyhow and I was really tired. I refused a slightly worse deal 5 mins earlier, but agreed to that that revised version a bit later. I came 4th on Saturday night then, so not a bad weekend overall I guess, although it could have been so much better.

So stuey got 2k out of the deal doin a chop 5 ways, where the winner got 2.1k, wow origianlly i thought it was a bad idea him doin the deal - but thats gotta be a great deal for him.

i remember there was a hand posted up awhile back and when you heard the opponent TG - the hand turn into a snap call iyo

Ya, as I said, I wasn't particularly keen on doing the deal, but the fact that he was tipping for us all made it a bit less horrible for me. The blinds were going up in 5 mins to 5k/10k as well to emphasise the crapshootyness of it, so locking in 3rd place money seemed like not the worst idea.
