I was playing that lad who KO'd you in an NL mtt earlier and looked him up because he was playing wierd pre, but really well post-flop. I see he ended up winning it. He's running pretty good recently!

He ended up winning that $18k rebuy, looking at his stats the guy is on a tear! Some amount of profit!

I tried salvia a couple of times. Mad indescribable high for 1 min then 10-15 min with a cloudy head and your all set. One spin should be mandatory for everyone on the new BBV IMO.

hmmm, not anything close to trips then. might have to give it a pop anyway since i can rarely get my hands on any.

Battery life on the itouch is the nuts.

Jumped on the bus back to Dublin from Letterkenny at 1.45 this morn, pulled out the itouch and was horrified to see it on the last legs and giving me the message "less than 10% battery left". Was sure i was going to have to listen to a load of Drunken Spanish clowns.

Walked into work at 6.30am and itouch still going strong despite almost 5 hours continued use.

On a side note, as i was walking in, some crazy bastard in shorts and a t-shirt jogged past me....nutjob

Blimey. Anyone care to give me a brief synopsis of the last 55 pages? Just the important bits. I'll read through the lot at some point...when the internet provider in our area agrees to ring me about their dodgy service of late. Sigh.

Ive watched two absolutely fantastic french films over the last two days. The Prophet and Mesrine: Killer Instinct. (pt 1). Both are f*cking amasing. Do yourself a favor and watch them. The prophet is a prison crime drama, and Mesrine is a spralling crime epic.

That is some hardcore travelling working listening to music dedication type stuff Tony. Also a 1.45am bus can't be safe, what kind of person takes a bus at 1.45am on a Wednesday morning

[Raoul Duke III]

who do markets on this bubbleking? PP\Boyles??

(never had a bet on bogball in my life to date)

edit; bubbleking? post disappeared? peyote kicking in imo

[Bubbleking]

put it in the Betting thread - didnt mean to post it here. Most Irish Bookies have them but id say PP is your best bet. - Markets for sundays games usually open wed night/ thurs morning

The kind of person that's in work at 7am!

The earlier bus is 7.45pm and i dont like getting that, so it's my usual option. I need music to travel that distance. I forgot it once, and it was hell...it's the first thing on my checklist. From now on, i'll also check to make sure it's charged!!

Back to civilization after a week, I feel like a leper walking around the workplace as people are avoiding me.

Is it just me, or does Senderos always look like someone has just asked him to divide 33628 by 29..

What's the policy on holding the door for someone in the workplace? My buffer zone is about 5 feet and anything more results in giving the door a shove which sometimes results in the door hitting the hinge and closing quicker then expected. I think I'm coming across arogant as I never look behind when holding or shoving the door.

flushdraw, you'll have everybody trying to work it out now.

My policy on this is to hold it if they are anywhere near. Some people though tend to start to run if they see someone holding the door for them which I have never understood. If someone is holding the door for me from a long way off then it is their problem if they have to wait for me to get there.

[ghostface]

going to see him here in dallas in a few weeks. cannot wait.

Nice, saw him in The Point a couple of years back and was fantastic. It's a must to get into mosh pit or as close to front as possible i find at hip hop gigs tho

Avatar breaks record for most money taken in.

Do cinema companies pay a set price to distributors or are they charged per person viewing the release? Would Cameron be on a set salary or % based?

Anyone know how this works?

Also can you get the function as an option?

On the table thing yep, I've found a thing to do it and will get it done this evening when I get home. On the other thing I doubt it as it is an installed hack (not part of vBulletin) but I will look around for it.

[Solskjaer]

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose,

still heavily sedated from a difficult four hour surgical procedure .

A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

Nurse,' he mumbles, from behind the mask 'Are my testicles black?' Embarrassed, the young nurse replies

'I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body.'

He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, are my testicles black?'

Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her

embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his

testicles in the other, lifting and moving them

around and around gently.. Then, she takes a close look and says, 'No sir, they aren't and I assure

you, there's nothing wrong with them, Sir !!' The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and

says very slowly, 'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen very, very closely.

LOL. I was just gonna post about easing up on us poor Kerry lads !!


Not sure if I posted this before.

Two dublin lads are about to open a new shop and they are working late putting up the shelves. One says to the other "I bet you some thick Culchie will walk by and ask us what we are selling". Sure enough, two mins later a Kerry lad sticks his head against the glass and says "What are ye selling".
"Arseholes" replies one of the dubs.
"Doing well", says the Kerryman, "only two left".

Read before that almost 100% of after-tax ticket price on new high profile movies goes to the film distributors, and the cinema only makes money from popcorn / drinks sales.

EDIT: interesting article from Slate on this here

Cameron must be so pleased to have beaten the previous record holder for highest grossing movie

The rights to show movies in a cinema is governed by a film rental contract - film distributors will receive a percentage of gross box office revenues, which percentage typically rises for higher levels of sales. The minimum percentage paid to distributors is 25% but this increases in line with box office performance. Movies that gross more than €10mm are subject to special terms agreements, where fixed percentages are agreed in advance for the first three to four week of a film's release before defaulting to the standard 25%.

Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group, the largest cinema exhibitor outside the US generates 67% of revenues from box office receipts, 23% from retial (popcorn etc), 5% from screen advertising and 5% from other (gaming / arcades etc).

Would it be fair to say though that while they generate a lot of revenue from box office, they generate the actual profit from retail?

EDIT: hadn't seen your original post - interesting stuff.

Box Office gross margin is 59% and retail gross margin is 79% so your thinking is right that retail is almost all gross profit (4/5ths anyway) but still, 59% of the profit is made from box office receipts.

I believe the older and less popular the film is the more % revenue the cinema gets. It's a weird system.

[Blured]

I thought it was staggered i.e. week 1 distributer gets 90%, cinema 10%, week 2 80% 20%, etc

I'm driving to Cashel tomorrow from dublin, haven't been past Naas in like a year so was just wondering if i have to worry about any New toll roads????

Also is PL a full mod now????? if so con grats

[jimbling]

Wow, didn't know any of this stuff was going on. So is this going to actually kill the boards poker thread?
I did notice that there wasn't much posting going on the last few days, so looks like it will.

Well best of luck to ye guys. I'll start posting here now anyway.

.

Its probably fair to say though that a chain like Odeon, with the power it has on the market, is able to negotiate a better deal with the film distributors than an independent cinema or small chain.

[Emmet]

Regarding the sliding scale of percentages. I will give an example from experience.

Movies@ Dundrum showed "The Queen" and also "The Last King of Scotland" for over 18 weeks each, in fact, Last King was on show for almost 5 months.
Within the first 2/3 weeks of the release, 55% of the ticket price was sent to the distributors, this included complimentary tickets, discounted tickets also.
from weeks 4-8 the percentage lowered to ~ 40%
Weeks 8-12 ~ 30%
etc

The last showing of Last King of Scotland in Movies@ was one of its most profitable, as the film was still selling out months later and also was one of the last films of the evening to be shown, so people would pick it if their film was sold out.

With Margins on retail, the most incredible figure I saw on this was on the Slush Puppees within the cinema. One 5l jug of "pre mix" makes 30l of slush, 125ml for a small, 200ml for a large. 150 large slushies from one jug = €300 sales price. The slush mix, cups, straws, work out at about €35 for those. The machines are provided free by the slushee manufacturers.

Cinema's are very interesting in the way that they're actually a "front" for another business. Similar to 11811, the thing that they advertise isn't what they're trying to sell, 11811 wants to charge you the "connect" fee, and cinema's want to charge you for their sweets!

EDIT: Blockbusters such as Avatar may have a different percentage scale, these scales are always negotiated independently with the distributors.

[Denny Crane]

is the price of the tickets built into the agreements?

[Emmet]

is the price of the tickets built into the agreements?

Yes, for instance, a cinema that charges 5e a ticket would still be asked to contribute ~4e a head, same as a cinema that charges €9 per ticket.

Cinemas sometimes don't get films in, as they are being asked to give up too much of a percentage. Sometimes films will come in purely because they have been offered them at such a low percentage.

I can only speak for the cinema I worked in though. That was how it was handled.

[ArmaniJeans]

I've never liked Peterborough chairman Darragh McAnthony, he made his money selling off-the-plan apartments in Bulgaria and Hungary and Outer Mongolia to gullible fools. Was incredibly quick with a writ on some property forums as well at the height of the boom.
So I'm delighted to see him getting some flak from the Peterborough fans this year as his side languish at the bottom of the The Championship.

Interesting article where he has blamed all their problems on Darren Ferguson, players showing no passion, tapping up, internal disloyalty etc.
