Switch if off and back on again. That should do it

that was my first port of call

[Emmet]

Sitting in a lecture here and the lecturer hasn't a hope. Poor little fucker seems like he's never been in front of a class before.

Reflects kind of poorly on the university that he's teaching Modern Portfolio Theory to Msc and BAFS students as his first gig I think.

[Zod]

[Keane]

HD Ready I think

would it be as simple as that? I'm trying to play 1080 files on a 720 TV?

Nah it would be more likely to be your problem if it was the other way round.

Are the vids you've tried already all 720 for sure?

[Raoul Duke III]

'FF under 20 seats' now out to 9/2 on PP btw

5/1 now

[Raoul Duke III]

dichotomy: PP

Socialist Party are 4/1 to win 3 seats - basically this assumes Higgins (cert), Daly (1/3 shot) and Barry to be elected

but....in the individual constituency betting for Cork North Central, Barry is a 4\1 shot. I'll be having some of that. No way is Billy Kelleher anything close to a 1/12 cert.

lol, 7/2 now

the BBV should look for commission from PP

[Strewelpeter]

LOL just got caught out bigtime.

I'm sitting in the lobby resturant of a downtown Nairobi hotel getting some bandwith and waiting to meet someone. There is a ridiculously loud JewYorker blaring into his phone, he's wearing a 10Cm lapel badge with the logo of something called Verve Energy Drink.
So while he's abusing people on the phone about how his people are losing focus and blah blah I google the product and hit the link verveenergydrink.com/
Just as I do the guy I'm waiting for walks by and I get up to call him back. I'm two steps from my laptop when the page loads ... with the sound on full blast

I was reminded of this song

The good news out of all that is that I see HBO are making a second series of How to Make it in America.

[ArmaniJeans]

There has to be some marvellous value hidden in the constituencies as the prices are all over the shop. e.g. Ming The Merciless is considered fourth most likely and marginally odds-on to get a seat in Roscommon/Leitrim, ahead of 'serious' candidates from SF, Lab and FF.

Pity the overround is so big, must be close to 140% a seat.

[Valor]

I'm registered to vote at home in Donegal, how do I become registered to postal vote as a student? How does that work?

@Keane. Amazon cheapest I found by a mile.

PM me your GT or throw it up here for some games

Kinda tough on him when the jumped up Msc and BAFS students are reading an Internet forum while he's trying to do his thing huh?

We've done 12 pages of notes in ten hours of lectures.

Mind yourself getting off the horse now!

really? I think the constituency markets in general offer appalling value

Mick Barry (SP - CNC) is the only one I'd be interested in backing at the odds on offer. Bacik would be worth a punt at her previous odds but PP have tightened her up. You'd want serious inside knowledge (e.g. detailed constituency polls or, even better, the knowledge that the leading candidate had been found in bed with a donkey and two Filipino midget ladyboys. )

Any candidates jumping out at you as being 'value'? No 1/3 shots now!

If anyones booking a hotel on expedia any time soon lemme know, might be able to save you a few quid. Got a voucher I'd just as soon sell on.

[Emmet]

We did mpt in undergrad, but lot of the class have no background in finance. Lot of pure math students, so it's a filler inner for them I think. We're in with final year BAFS and msc finance students too.

I feel sorry for the guy, you think theyd start him off with some first year classes to get into a rhythm? He didn't know how to use any of the av stuff, and we haven't finished two chapters and this is our fourth week with a 3hour lecture!

[careca]

I'm registered to vote at home in Donegal, how do I become registered to postal vote as a student? How does that work?

It doesnt work afaik.

Postal votes are fairly restricted. They are more for people in government jobs working abroad, like soldiers, embassy staff, etc.

If you think about it, it would be fairly messy to let anyone who wants a postal vote to have one. any fucker who is too lazy to go to a polling station would all of a sudden be going on hols and want a postal vote.

Also, there is a reason that most elections are on days that students won't be able to get home to vote

[cooker3]

Everyone should listen to latest episode of the absolutely awesome radio show/podcast Radiolab and in particular the last half hour featuring the story of Emilie. I sat on the back of the bus leaving Bangkok trying to keep the tears at bay (and it wasn't just tears of joy at leaving Bangkok)

It's a staggeringly well told, well produced emotional roller-coaster of a story. It's well worth half hour of your time.

I ended up going with gamesnash in the end.

Cost about a fiver more than amazon but they emailed me on the code within an hour. Nice to keep the business somewhat local as well.

keane2097 is my GT.

[tylerdurden94]

Try keep the posts down to a minimum (looking at you Raoul) gonna have a lot of catching up to get through.

[careca]

Any candidates jumping out at you as being 'value'? No 1/3 shots now!

I know you didn't ask me but.....

In Kerry North, Deenihan and Ferris are nailed on for 2 of the 3 seats. The last seat though is interesting.

Spring (Dick's nephew) is 1/7
McEllistrim (FF sitting TD) is 2/1

Now McE is your typical local candidate. You'll never hear him on the tv or see him in the dail making some important speech but if you want the pothole sorted, etc he is your man. All politics is local... He is basically the Jackie Healy Rae of Kerry North. If anyone could get away from the FF backlash he could be your man. 2/1 is a decent price imo or better still, lay Spring at 1/7.

Of course this is just my opinion and I haven't lived there in a while, so don't go blowing your Cowen cash on it.

Don't even joke about it, I am just after fending off one of the most awesome wan's that I have ever seen and she really didn't want to take no for an answer. Pure Callipygian Godess.

[MisterMonkey]

some big diff's between prices with PP/Boyles for FF seats, eg < 20seats...5/1 or 9/4. Or, 31-35... 9/4 or 4/1

Damn should have got one when she was walking away (considering I got a really dull one of the NewYorker with the badge that doesn't show the badge ).
If that kind of thing is your thing there is nowhere on the planet like this, how they walk around in the jeans and tight trousers without bursting out of them is a miracle of modern cloth manufacture.

Perfect,don't move.

[DeadParrot]

Yeah, Vodafone rang me about it too, telling me I've been going over my usage on average and do I want to buy some add-on or whatever, I can't remember what I chose, but I think my allowance is 80GB a month now and I average 60-75 I think so should be good.

Could this be the same thing Vodafone have done with me, my line is pretty shit, I get charged for a 3Mb line even though my speeds never go really go over 1.5. Could I ask them to put me back on one of these legacy products and get rid of the add-on allowance I have or is that just available with Eircom??

send me a PM and I'll have a look for you.
You can buy an additional 30gb allowance for a tenner I think.

Wandering round DLR at lunch and see all the Ivana Bacik posters up, she reminds me a lot of the actress in extras that has cerebal palsy, Francesa Martinez!! Can't find the clip from Extras

I pity the poor babies that have to kiss her.

Michael Martin posters look well imo, couldn't imagine them utilizing Cowen in the same way

My local knowledge suggests similar stuff.

McEllistrim is from Ballymacelligott which is (I think) the biggest/second biggest parish in the country. The people are extremely tribal and I find it really hard to see him losing much of their support.

People I've talked to at home have pretty much said he'll walk it - my auld fella reckons he'll get in on the first count.

Am I A £35m Striker?

I scored 24 goals helping my side win promotion back to the Premier League aged just 22.

In my first season in the top flight I had 15 goals by the end of Jan. Including a goal against the reigning champions, away at Arsenal and in a home win vs Liverpool.

My form earned me an England call-up and debut in a friendly....

Am a I £35m striker?

No I am Michael Ricketts, February 2002.

[MrsFlushdraw]

Another bump for Rebecca McAdam. There are loads of people passing through here, can you take a min out to vote for our Irish Grown Bex? follow the link and vote. She is ahead at the minute but she is only 5 ahead. Come on guys. She may be writing about you sometime and AFAIK she coming to the Western Open.

You should have bet me on that. Was sure students could not get a postal vote. My bad.
