don't try a marathon unless you improve the pace (as opposed to the distance)

Match over for the night. Isildur1 seemed to be up a significant amount over the bits I was watching, but that could count for sfa to be honest.
The difference in his chat when he's winning vs losing is hilarious
Brian Hastings: gg
Isildur1: play tomorrow ?
Brian Hastings: maybe, i have friend visiting in town
Brian Hastings: ill try
Isildur1: ok
Isildur1: gg

Also there's a chance you might misclick doing that and end up in the Dunguib thread, way too big a risk closing your eyes IMO.Last edited by The Situation; 10-03-10, 01:51.Profit before people.

FAO Hitchhiker etc re pensions
Michael,
I haven't had a chance to spell out my views on the national pensions framework but personally I've always thought that the whole pensions area is very dumbed down to make it easier to sell, and is only part of a persons overall financial planing. Then I go along to a presentation last night and the speaker articulates my view better then I ever could.
You may find this presentation interesting and thought provoking expecially the bits about behavioral finance and risk.
As for the implications of this kind of thinking in an Irish context I hope I'll get a chance to post something worthwhile.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

As for me, you've seen me, I weigh 15.7 stones (as of yesterdays weigh in) , I'm a bit older than Fran so, assign me a time for a 10k race and let's do a Prop bet. GIve me a bit of time to train for it though .
For the record my best time was about 36 mins minutes but that was a long long time ago and a couple of knee ops.
I'd say 50 Mins for 10K is fair. How about 200 quid to a Charity the loser pays, my favourite one is Vincent De Paul and much needed atm.
To run 10k in 1 hour you are running 1k in 6 minutes or .62 of a mile. That is kind of slow. If I were to run 7.5 minute miles I'd do the 10k in under 47 minutes. So 10k for 50 mins gives me some age/injury leeway.

I already have a Vista to Windows 7 upgrade disk (used for my laptop), I now want to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 on my desktop, as I really want to take advantage of the file sharing / network improvements. Anyone know can you buy a legit license code for cheap anywhere, given that I don't need the disk? I'm not a student and will pay the £65 on Amazon if I have to, just want to know if there is anywhere cheaper that someone knows of!

The Vibrator
As a woman passed her daughter's closed bedroom door,
she heard a strange buzzing noise coming
from within. Opening the door, she observed her daughter with a vibrator.
Shocked, she asked: 'what in the world are you doing?'
The daughter replied: 'Mum, I'm thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I'll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.'
The next day, the girl's father heard the same buzz
coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Upon entering the room, he observed his daughter making passionate love to her vibrator.
To his query as to what she was doing, the daughter said: 'dad I'm thirty-five, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I'll ever get to a
husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.'
A couple of days later, the wife came home from a shopping trip, placed the groceries
on the kitchen counter, and heard that buzzing noise coming from, of
all places, the living room. She entered that area and observed her
husband sitting on the couch, downing a cold beer, and staring at
the TV.
The vibrator was next to him on the couch,
buzzing like crazy.
The wife asked: 'What the f.. are you
doing?'
The husband replied: 'I'm watching football with my
son-in-law.'

Just on the running thing i`ve never seriously competed further than 100m and ran one cross country race when i was 15 and nearly calved after 200m which i retired after .
In saying that i`d do play GAAAAAAAAA and have just started back training this week.
What do you reckon about this some sort of combined match bet or something like that anyway????"Quitters never win, Winners never quit."

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide to... View PostNice presentation. Interesting bit on calculating 'Human Capital'. Am i right in thinking that the discount factor is based on the risk attached to retaining your job into the future? Although something about the formula doesn't quite make sense (the use of 'n', I think).
It's an interesting way to assess decisions such as whether or not the investment of time and money to do an MBA for example would be worth it. Also the "need" for different financial products at various life stages and the perception of risk and scenario testing would all be aided by using such a model.
n = the number of years to your planned complete retirement I believe.Last edited by V for Vendetta; 10-03-10, 12:19.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

However, if they call a general election, and allow the people to vote on a new govt, there's very little chance that they would be reinstated.
They're not going to willingly give up the power.
