So please be careful should you place these bat coins in vending machines and parking meters you might be harming the economy. Please dispose of them or place them in a drawer. (sips cool refreshing diet coke)
My revenge on vending machines begins.

What we should do is not grit the roads and from the money saved, we can have a civic reception for Mary Byrne for coming 4th in a 'talent' competition Why don't we go the whole hog and have an open top bus trip down O'Connell St for her and close off the city for the day. Un-fucking-real !!
PS WD RDIII on your win.

Snow forces eight-day lock-in at Kirkbymoorside pub
Snow surrounding the Lion Inn in January 2010 The pub stands at the highest point of the North York Moors National Park
A couple and five staff spent eight days trapped inside one of Britain's highest pubs because of heavy snow.
The Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge, near Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, was cut off since Friday last week, as 20ft (6.1m) of snow drifted against the pub.
The couple, from Darlington, were trapped until a plough made its way over the North York Moors and they followed it back to the nearest town.
The staff remained until the road was officially opened on Saturday night.
The Lion Inn is also a bed and breakfast and during their eight days inside the pub the couple and staff were able to stay in its bedrooms.
Speaking before the pub reopened, chef Daniel Butterworth admitted he had been talking to himself during the enforced lock-in.
At first the staff, all aged under 25, got stuck into the drinks, he said, but on the third day they eased off.
"We haven't been getting ratty," he said. "It's been fun and we have had a laugh.
"We have been getting on with little jobs, having our tea, a drink, playing games and then going to bed.
We have had people phoning up asking to get trapped in, but it's kind of boring now and I would like to go home”
"The bosses aren't here, they are snowed out.
"We have wireless internet here and the television works so we have been fine."
During the day, the couple and staff managed to get out onto the snow on improvised sledges made from beer trays.
The beer did not run out and there was plenty of food at the inn, which stands 1,325ft (404m) above sea level.
Mr Butterworth admitted the icy internment had not been all fun.
"I have been going a bit crazy, doing weird things like talking to myself," he said on Saturday.
"Hopefully, we will get some more customers in when the road opens again. I could do with some more company.
"We have had people phoning up asking to get trapped in, but it's kind of boring now and I would like to go home."

Xavi, Iniesta and Messi announced as the final 3 for the Ballon d'or. Surprised that Sneijder isn't there, although it's difficult to knock one of those 3 out. Perhaps Messi? We all know how brilliant he is, but he had a relatively poor World Cup. Sneijder won the CL and was superb throughout the WC too. It will be a difficult choice obviously.

BTW the minister involved was interviewed about how they are going to guarantee access to universal 50Mb broadband in the UK by 2015, we'll probably be back to 28.8baud modems by then. Sigh!Last edited by Strewelpeter; 06-12-10, 13:22.Turning millions into thousands

I like episode 5 was the highest viewed with circa 5 million viewers higher than Mad Men and Breaking Bad by a good bit.

Originally posted by Sledgejammer View PostIniesta's nomination and likely win is stupid, he spent most of 2010 injured or struggling to get back to full fitness before another injury. The impact the world cup has on these things is silly, the champions league is a far higher standard and tougher test if you want to base an entire year of football on one competition which is daft anyway, basing it in five or six games in summer mainly against shit oppositon seems quite flawed
* I would argue that Rooney should be there as up to the World cup he was up there with the best in terms of performance and skill levels.

never extend you hand with the palm down (unless you're a mason or pretending to be one) as it's a display of dominance. If people do that to me I counter it by putting my free hand over theirs.
meet thumb to thumb, slight grip.
light grips just make me think the person is uncomfortable with human interaction and or the situation in whiuch they are meeting you.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

Whistle is gone, SOB hits someone high and late. Yellow Card almost all the time. Even if he protests that he didn't hear the whistle, his tackle is still high.
Dom Ryan would've murdered that 9. He's put on serious weight and muscle in the last year. I used to see him in college, if you can watch the video of him killing Cussiter and subsequently getting binned (unfairly) for not rolling away, and then look at the size of him now, its a ridiculous growth spurt!
And commentators are "Homers" anyway, never gonna give much respect for opposing aggression, and then "sure it was handbags" for home players doing the same.

I'd actually blame the mods (never even heard of the guy who banned you, seems to be relatively new to boards). Any mod of a gambling forum should be giving a warning to anyone who defends martingale, second time should be a banning. Its the poker equivalent of an 'Its all rigged' thread.
