looking for help on parking, im off to lanzarote next Monday and im looking for somewhere cheap to park the car!
when i google i get loads so im sure some of you use certain car parks regularly when travelling.
its 8 days total!

"Yeah. Do me a favour, love."

[MrsFlushdraw]

Drive to Letterkenny. Park in the Courtyard shopping centre car park. Come back and say you have lost your ticket. Fee for parking €5 (And petrol) lol

On the other hand Michelle, if you book online, you can get the Dublin Airport long term parking for 5.50 a day, so not too bad at all.

Unless FG get an overall majority, what other government could form? No one will form a coalition with either FF or SF, greens will be too small, and there is no other party, so unless FG want to have 10+ independents in with them, which is not likely, it has to be FG + Labour.

I dont know exactly what other government could form. But I know this much. When all the parties know exactly what seats they have its amazing how compatible their policies will become if the numbers add up. A slew of independents could form some sort of alliance or something. FF could support a minority FG government. FF could do better than expected and do a deal with Labour. If Lab could go into government as the bigger party they'd dump FG in a heartbeat imo. FF could get <20 seats and have enough to do a deal with FG. All these combos are dismissed in the lead up to the election but anything is possible when the votes are in. The Greens were FFs biggest critics before the 2007 election. I think Labour/FG is most likely to be next governement if they both do worse than expected and only hold about 90 seats

FF won't be in government next time. Out of the question unless somehow something amazing happens and they get 45 seats or something ridiculous and Labour being the type they are with similar seats, then it might happen. It won't though, and I can't see Labour getting more seats than FG either.

Something like 8 quid if you don't book online. The 5.50 rate is for the furthest away one, the blue one, but there are regular buses. No idea about the nearby hotels to be honest, but doubt they are less than that.

@Michelle; I don't know if Dublin Coach goes past your way but it's very good for getting to and back from the airport imo. Sure check it out, dunno if it'll be of any help since the times might be off and you may also want to drive.

What price is that option, IMO its the most likely non FG Lab option.

Ironically haven't seen any of the Oz open, had a bet on R.Fed to scoop since pre tourney.
I have been tracking results, the only's upsets of note have been top Soderling and Roddick bowing out to Dologolopov and Wawrinka, this prevented a top 8 quarters.
I think its going to be the obvious Nadal v Murray, and Djokovic v Federer leading to the even more obvious Raf Fed final. Obviously there are guys here who punt tennis a lot more than me, Cardshark being one I think, so was looking for opinions on best options now.
Let Fed run, or lay him off pre final to lock in profit

Wawrinka has a shot in the battle of the Swiss tonight imo. I'm thinking of laying Fed @ 1.3 and see what happens in the first set.

Am I crazy tennis fans?

[SatNav]

ok one for the road smart asses, im off to bed!!!

So fcking stressed right now, been working since 5AM Irish time this morning, spent most of the day sitting around waiting for incompetent Egyptian droolers to arrive to do a simple job, then when they did they fucked everything up and I had to wait hours for another crew to come and clean up after the first morons. This was a monumental mess where they had to move an ATM 25 yards from one room to another on a pallet truck, first they ripped up a hugely expensive carpet and scratched some marble tiles and then through utter stupidity they broke something inside the machine so that I couldn't open the door and I had to get the second crew out to physically break the covers open so we could release the mechanism they jammed to allow me open it again. So I eventually got to start doing what I needed to be doing 12 hours late and I get to one or two steps from finished my and I run into a sick difficult problem that I can't figure out.

His replacement too probably, few years left in him maybe. Get Sanchez in and we are laughing. If we pick up a right sided attacker we will be back to our best. Lukaku in the Summer, win the title back in 11/12.

It's a word placed between a syllable break within another word to add emphasis or comic effect.

Abso-bleeding-lutely being a good example.

When curses are used they are expletive infixations rather than dystmeses.

Toshiba's have generally the most reliable builds in all the laptop manufacturers

QFT. I was not a toshiba fan when I started out with doing tech work but I will say they are good value for money and have decent overall build quality. Once you disable the unnecessary bloat that comes with it, they are fairly solid machines. There is only one fault I found on the satellite series from the last maybe 4 years give or take and that was the power jack which is prone to separating from the case. Usually through mishandling but it can happen through wear and tear. That said the same can happen to some of the comparable ACER models.

[Lord Sir Banter]

So I just happened to spunk 1500e (years ago) on the least reliable Toshiba ever sold, fml, unsurprising.

judging from the interest of the online sats there is going to be a huge overlay in the student masters this year. may only be 1-2k in the pot with an added IO ticket for first place.

Have seen very little of Sanchez only in the world cup but you cant judge a player on that.

Can see a big bidding war for Lukaku in the near future. He looks the real deal.

Well you're just unlucky dude, anyone that is buying a laptop these days worth maybe more than €500/€600 should take out extended warranty and/or insurance on it imo. Say for example the screen fails or HDD is toasted after 18 months then it is going to cost you more than the €80 for the extended warranty (which would cover the problem) to fix it.

I looked at a mates laptop recently where the board failed and his screen was smashed (separate incidents) and it was six months out of warranty, manufacturer wanted €400 for an original screen and €250 for a motherboard. He paid €800 initially and was not happy about consigning to the scrapheap.

[Kayroo]

Happy Dude I know you're on an English language buzz so just for you:

Dystmesis is a variation of a tmesis, the latter being a word placed between two parts of a compound word or split infinitives. Obviously all dystmeses are tmeses but not all tmeses are dystmeses.

Obviously they are spoken more often than written and, as a result, a tmesis should only come before a stressed syllable which is why SP's example isn't actually a tmesis or dystmesis at all.

Interestingly tmesis is the only word in the entire English language to begin with the letters "t" and "m".

[Lazare]

Anyone watching Vincent Browne?

Hilarious stuff, Joe Higgins, Joan Burton and Simon Coveney.

Burton, Higgins and Browne going on like school kids with Coveney just sitting there with a 'wtf?' look on his face.

Plenty of time. Not starting until Li v Petkovic is over.

Federer is 6-1 h2h, can't see it going past 4 sets tbh.

I think the only way these stats will play on Wawrinka's mind is if he loses the first set. His new coach was Federer's coach from 2000-2003 which should help with regards strategy. He's been pretty impressive so far.


Admittedly, I don't know that much about tennis though. Maybe I am a crazy
