I am obviously spoilt for choice. Ship.

[Strewelpeter]

Any good news?

[RichieM]

I recon tough break and get your boots on. You can pick up for your Dad in the offie no doubt but your mum is gonna be a little miffed with an ironing board cover, a box of rosees and some tesco club card points. Make the trip if she still cooks your dinner every day or you will get the small steak for the next 12 months

[CHDad]

Any good news?

Xmas dinner is only 4 days away.

[Wreck]

Snow is just amazing in Dublin 4 at the moment, have to say I'm loving it but I can pretty much walk everywhere I need to go over the next few days so don't have to worry.

Was at a wedding in Waterford Castle at the weekend, man that place is amazing, was so much fun. Thank fuck the snow stayed off until we got back to Dublin, if we ended up stuck down there for a few days I would probably be dead from alcohol poisoning.

right, banning myself from poker until February.

Any of you who know me, if you see me in a poker club again before the 1st of february you are legally allowed to punch my jaw loose and put me in a taxi home.

Pics or gtfo. Otherwise I'm just going to end up punching everyone I see.

Guess last minute shopping was a bad idea.

FU snow.

This is nowhere near last minute, 5 pm on Christmas Eve is my cut-off. Am usually drunk by then which can result in some surprising present choices.

[tylerdurden94]

Wanna get one of my mates a book, something interesting anybody got any recommendations?

He into films like yourself Danny? I'll throw out a bit of a long shot - guillermo del toro (pans lab/hellboy) has co-authored a couple of books. The Strain which is a good read, and The Fall which is 2nd part and out recently (haven't read it yet). Will take up a few days anyway and enjoyable enough

[Silver-Tiger]

Is there a more manly feeling than shoveling snow from your drive way?

Ya i know that is what she really wants but cash fine for a wedding or birthday but doesnt seem quite right for christmas. Think I will go with cash or a voucher in a book so something similarly shit. Ideally I think she really wants a fake ID and a naggin and some cider.

I used to think the same but tbh, a voucher is just a shitty form of cash, like giving someone Zimbabwe dollars.

Best meal I ever had by a long stretch. Everything was amazing. There's an offer on citydeal for there today if anyone's interested.

Girls love pennys, theres a voucher for ya.

[RichieM]

I presume buying her a cook book so that she can learn the domestic arts is the right thing for a big brother to do or at 16 have I left it to late to train her and will she be destined for spinsterhood now?

[The Situation]

Gillers maybe a Glee box set? Or something that involves vampires or dancing or dancing vampires... on ice that can sing. Teenies love that sort of stuff.

Older brother should not encourage such interests.

[CHDad]

I told a mate of mine to not buy me a present cause I didn't want to buy him one. He did anyway.

He will be learning his lesson as I got him 30 quid in 5 cent coins.

If you are serious that is a terrible present!

I will be at home for a few days after christmas and may end up having to watch some of it if I went down this route and wouldn't want to rubish my own gift. Close but definitley more a present to be given when I am far away

Nap of coke and my lad's ph no.

The €49 one. Monkfish, quail etc. Didn't do the wine pairing though as gf doesn't really drink wine.

[Sledgejammer]

What're the chances of darts or luas stopping early at some point tonight leaving folks stranded in town...?

[Guest]

Fairly low imo. Darts almost certainly wont stop

Darts won't stop early. Jelle Klassen v Steve Brown will be a good game and it would disappoint too much folk

[Zod]

Fairly low imo. Darts almost certainly wont stop

Especially as it's played indoors and they've lots of matches to get through in the first round.

[CHDad]

Good chance the darts are delayed though, It was last year but most of the players got there late and it went ahead.

Dublin Bus

If you're relying on a bus I wouldn't bother leaving the gaff. Dublin Bus can say the routes are running but if the bus driver doesn't feel comfortable driving, he doesn't have to. I was waiting for an hour and a half earlier for a bus that was allegedly running, had to get a taxi home in the end.

You ever buy that trillion dollar bill?

[Closed_Account]

Does anyone here watch the Tudors? Got Season 2 yesterday after enjoying Season 1 ands it literally the same stuff over again. Titilation factor still reasonably pleasant.

[NewApproach]

If anyone could help me here it would be great.

Friend is in hospital and I brought him over an ext hard drive full of films and stuff. He has just got a new Mac and can't seem to access the hard drive.
Is there a simple way to do this (he's a Mac noob), or is there incompatibility between the formats in the case of hard drives?

Thanks, it would be great if I could get this sorted!

[Guest]

Set up neteller or moneybookers its instant with neteller anyways
having gambling site transactions on your laser or bank account when you cash a cheque may affect your chance of loans etc from a bank,

Yeah he has to enable ntfs on the MAC some googling should bring you to something, I'm on my phone so can't get links.

Should be able to view it normally thou there is a program on the MAC but I cant think of what it is to display all the drives.

[Emmet]

Wow, jad complete panic attack there when I woke up and realised the date.

Have been in a drinky smoky haze for the last 6 days, and haven't bought a single present. Saw the snow, and the dude digging out his car across the road, and realised its not worth it to risk the car.

Tried to think like CHD, what can I get in Spar? Superquinn etc?

Then my brother came home, told me he's bought everyone joint presents. And if I give him a tonne, I'm in.

Now to grind some poker for that 100!

All he needs to do is view it, can you remember the name of this program? He has no internet in there, and from googling he needs to download a script to allow it to read/write NTFS.
