that is brilliant

[RasTa]

Going to be a fun drive home from Ballycoolin, thankfully the mother lives in Carpenterstown so I'll just dump it there; cycle to Chapelizod and then straight to the pub.

Its true. I'd like to see it tbh but Yossi will do when he is back.

We are also going to try bring Phil Jones in, probably in the Summer.

If the right player comes up in Jan we also will spend 20M+ for first time in a while.

Spending will happen in the Summer.

I cant wait to see the price tag but I hope he stays at the lane. Playing lovely stuff at the moment and is key to spurs when they run well.

[RasTa]

Levy will quote 50m for him, Chelsea won't be buying and City will offer the 50.

[Valor]

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.

On citydeal the price is 42, I assume this is per person so I need to buy 2 if I want to bring someone?

[CHDad]

Levy will quote 50m for him, Chelsea won't be buying and City will offer the 50.

Depends on whats left on his contract and if he wants to go really.

Spurs won't be in the CL next year either and Redknapp will want money to spend.

Yeah but if City get Champions league then they will just blow your bid out of the water.

[RasTa]

Yup, I had the meal that's on offer and it's the best one I've ever had. I paid €79 for it with the wine pairing so €42 is excellent value.

[Sledgejammer]

I'm starting to come round to the snow. Was just out in it there, it's thick enough that there's no slippage and powdery and soft so it's easy and fun to walk around in, so long as public transport keeps running then snow ftw! At least until it becomes very annoying to walk around...

[CHDad]

Yeah but if City get Champions league then they will just blow your bid out of the water.

We won't spend crazy money but we will compete with them this summer. Chequebook will be opened up again if price is right for anyone.

[davepoke/her]

I miss Yossi. CHD I'll trade you Joe Cole for Yossi back!!

[CHDad]

I miss Yossi. CHD I'll trade you Joe Cole for Yossi back!!

Not a hope. Before he left I was the only one who said he was over rated waste of space.

Slightly harsh but he is nothing special. Glorified McGeady.

[Silver-Tiger]

I miss Yossi. CHD I'll trade you Joe Cole for Yossi back!!

Even with Yossi gone for most of the season i still regard that as a good bit of business on Chelseas's behalf.

[CHDad]

Yup, don' give into 100k p/w demands.

5.5M for a better player.

Happy with that.

El BBV, is there such thing as an OAP-friendly laptop?

Need something with blacklit keyboard, big screen, battery irrelevant, and will probably have to do some "accesibility" stuff on it.

Family trying to get one for our Granny. She's definitely not tech savvy, so will need some help setting up and all that jazz. Budget around 400

EDIT- have already PM'ed Strewelpeter about what he uses

[RichieM]

until I read the overglorified McGeady bit I wasn't sure which of the 2 your were on about. I think Yossi came with a serious over estimitation of value. I also think that Modric is worth much closer to the 50m mark than the 25m mentioned earlier. I still think that it is possible for Spurs to be in the champions league. A few points adrift right now alright but have had some injury problems. Buy some sort of a central defender who isn't injured by a soft breeze, Corluka back to fitness and keep defoe and Vander Vart going and I cant see them as a worse team than the disfunctional city.

I think the confusion came when Harry heard that united were talking to an over paid diva who plays on the wing and presumed it was Beckham

Get her an iPad (possibly slightly out of budget? I havent been keeping track).

[shano_88]

Balotelli claims he doesnt know who Jack Wilshere is. Bit of a legend!


Mario Balotelli: "I don't know who Jack Wilshere is, but next time we play Arsenal, I'll show him the Golden Boy award that I beat him to".

not sure if this will be any use but my mum is incredibly short sighted so I presume she would have some of the user problems your Granny would, my Dad got her a Toshiba Quosmio (SP?) and basically just changed the resolution such that its massive and she can then see the icons properly, she seems to be able to use it fine,and she would have very little experience with computers (although she is middle aged and not quite "old" yet so she'd prob find it easier) The computer is not specifically for people who might have a problem though. Think it has a backlit keyboard and big screen etc, no idea about accessability stuff but i presume you can just download that

Modric is worth 30M imo, I can only see Chelsea and City paying that so he could well be safe and stay.

You and God it seems http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news...cle488001.html

I reckon you lot offered a contract. Liverpool for 90k a week is better than Uniteds bench for 50k a week.

do you think we could create a conspiracy theory here, propagate it across the web and watch it turn up in the ct forum on boards?

We have to at least try.

[Angry-Ball]

Where DO you find them! lol

get your water sorted out?

I've been involved in a few of these throughout the years.
Tunnels under clontarf
Italy wanting the return Caravaggio's The Taking of Christ.
Glenn Crowe 1st Million eircom leauge transfer
Irish language being mistaken for terrorist code
Monaghan Flag banned in New York Paddys daay parade as it looks like Iraq

All the above were printed in main newspapers and/or reported on radio

Oh I miss the old days of the internet

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.

Hopefully you have it sorted by now but I'm on my way home from town and will have a look when I get in.

[Solskjaer]

Conspiracy theory? Lazres pic of the contrails should be enough to kick start an EC wide
weather manipulation plan to weaken the resolve of it's people to future austerity measures about to be introduced in the coming years . Also note new brand of flu to be released on the public to keep the more sturdy people in check.

Well I'm in the Ballycoolin Industrial estate and yeah it looks pretty deep outside. Although not the normal amount of traffic passing through so can't comment on what the roads are like.

Suerly a new flu related story should be do to with knocking off the oap's who avoided the budget but this is how we will make the savings is a much more believable story for Jim Corr and his mates. I would also go fro some type of special coating on €50 notes that denatures cocaine as a way to reduce usage

[DeadParrot]

Weather machines, fuel usage, EU, Bondholders heavily involved in oil markets
etc etc etc

i was gonna say there is rumoured to have found intelligent life in Kerry but i don't want to upset Carcea . Im new to this spreading lies thing so you'll have to bear with me.

ABUs could start one about Fergie and the Refs pension fund, at least the ABUs will dive on that.

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,

But there is a fee withdrawing off Moneybookers is there not?

also, I read from a poster either here or boards (who worked in a bank) about the gambling transactions on laser/credit card affecting chances of a loan to actually not be true

Yeah plenty would check if it is real. Weather machine CT is out there already, we need to start something newish and maybe get it in a paper like Deadparrot showed.

[bp_me]

Normal game tomorrow night Brendan?

As far as I know normal game tomorrow night and next wednesday. No Friday or weekend games. I'm sure Wayne will be sending the texts out tomorrow.

Have you read the Benitez to be sacked thread? It decended into a Liverpool vs United drooler thread so quick it's depressing with only about 5% of the posts any way knowledgable of his situation at Inter. It's a car crash of a site these days.
