Come on you Aussies in the 3rd test. A win would set up an epic Boxing day test, great finish to xmas day. I can forsee myself and RDIII posting into the wee hours of the 26th December on here.

[BallymoreChris]

Was in town last night and was passing at the top of Grafton Street around half 8 and seen a bunch of dudes busking but no sign of you?

I was there alright! Well wrapped up. Will be there again tonight.

Nice to see good bit of hip hop in there. Kanye, Erykah Badu and Flying Lotus albums are quality. Putting Big Boi at No. 4 is stretching things a bit, good album too tho

[thedini]

@ OPR, it took me till no 35 to figure out was it the artist or name of album that was first, only recognise 4 names.

[ghostface]

Tron for what it was at the time was technological brilliance.

Seriously???

[Emmet]

Anybody got any good Christmas present horror stories?

I remember one of our neighbours arriving in to ours late on the 23rd about 10 years ago, begging my Mum to swap gifts with her, after the dog had somehow found the "Santa Stash" and dragged the bag into the living room where her kids had been delighted to see their new gamecube!

[tylerdurden94]

Is this kind of language allowed in here?

Its encouraged

Seriously???

Yeah for what it was at the time might not look like it now but back then it was something. What do you reckon?

This line sums it up better than what I wrote "Tron received nominations for Best Costume Design and Best Sound at the 55th Academy Awards, and received the Academy Award for Technical Achievement 14 years later."

[chips1234]

haven't seen the old tron, but i thought the new one looked like a load of bollix when i saw the trailer for it.

[UraiseIfold]

@ OPR, it took me till no 35 to figure out was it the artist or name of album that was first, only recognise 4 names.

Wow, have 14 of the top 15 albums. Pitchfork is a great reference for new music.

Edit: Lol - have all 15. Never listened to Big Boi's.

I really hope that your mum kindly swapped the game cube for a jumper and a book token. That will teach those neighbours kids to have a pet

That does make a sort of sense. Hot Chip do need to be encouraged because they're pretty much the only people who are experimenting with pop music these days. But that album contained an awful lot of fail. Everyone else has just gone retro and called it new. As you said, Contra was extremely average

I'm hoping the acclaim of the Tron soundtrack will get Daft Punk back in the studio for a new proper album. The world needs Daft Punk.

No more trips to Amsterdam for some, silly move to be honest. Also how can an EU court decide it's legal not to sell to foreigners?

EU court clears the way for tourist ban from cannabis cafes
Thursday 16 December 2010

Maastricht city council is not breaking European law by attempting to stop non-residents buying soft drugs in the city's cannabis cafes, the European Court of Justice ruled on Thursday.

The case was brought by the owner of the Easy Going coffee shop and the ruling clears the way for the nationwide introduction of the wietpas, or weed pass, system.

Four years ago, Maastricht council closed the coffee shop because it had been selling marijuana to tourists.

Justified

The court ruled on Thursday restricting sales is 'justified by the objective of combatting drug tourism' and reducing public nuisance. The aim of the restriction is to maintain public order and protect public health, the court said.

'As the release of narcotic drugs into the economic and commercial channels of the European Union is prohibited, a coffee-shop proprietor cannot rely on the freedoms of movement or the principle of non-discrimination in so far as concerns the marketing of cannabis,' the court said.

Tourists

At the moment, the authorities turn a blind eye to the sale of small quantities of hashish and marijuana in licenced cafes. Coffee shops have become a popular tourist attraction, particularly in Amsterdam and border towns such as Maastricht. Some 70% of Maastricht coffee shop customers are from abroad.

The European court had been asked to test Maastricht council's plans to see if they conflict with free trade rulings and anti-discrimination legislation

For the darts experts, what do ye think

Stompe 3-0 10/11
Lloyd 3-0 5/4
Lewis 3-0 ev's

Should go close but any of them are capable of dropping a set.

[ionapaul]

Have people listened to the new Kanye album? I have, about five times at this stage, and still think it is wildly overrated. It isn't a bad album but I'm finding it hard to understand all the hype from the reviewers, let alone agree with their sentiments.

Maybe too much hype negatively biases my viewpoint - I remember choosing not to listen to The Strokes first album (This Is It?) for over a year because I was sick of the hype...then I did and realised I had made a mistake, it was great.

Does anyone know of Amy LaVere? I saw her for the first time on Jools sometime last year, I have the Anchors & Anvils album and it is awesome. If you are familiar with her, could you recommend some other artists in a similar vein, I really like this kinda stuff but most of the music I listen to is rock so need recommendations!

[Downtown]

Anybody know where I can get a key cut that says "Do Not Duplicate" on it??

Serious question

Its nowhere near his first two but is still very good.

Seems like your trying to make a point to someone instead of verbally laying down the law?. Sticking it to them is my guess.

Any place that cuts keys might be able and willing to engrave it. Otherwise get it cut first and Brenfer Trophies on Capel St will engrave it.

I didnt read it like that at all!. All he has to do is say he's a landlord and spin some bullshit if needed. Cant see a stringent key cutters code in Dublin!.

The question itself is ambiguous.Do you want to dupicate a key that already says "do not duplicate" or do you want a dupicate of a normal key to have that engraved on it?
