Aye, the voodoo have been running tournaments as rereg until the first break. Didn't know that they were going to run the rereg for the Main Event.

There was over 25 satelite tickets won in the week before the main event, amazed there were so few buy ins on the night.

I'd imagine for the next festival they'll be running far more satellites to get 40-50 people in that way.

[Keane]

I had my NCT this morning and failed on emissions.

The mechanic at the test centre said it's not a big deal and should be straightforward to sort out. Was it on here I was reading people talking about some tablets you drop into the fuel tank/engine or something to sort it or did I just dream that?

maybe if they posted here they would have got bigger numbers? Alas stubborness is probably affecting them where it hurts the most

I've never used it but this might be the thing you're thinking of. Also if you drive it at high revs on the way to the test centre it helps too.

I agree. It's something that's worth fixing tbh.

You wouldn't believe how many times I've gone looking for that very post.
Closest I can come to it is the Wallop Fuel Buster tablets.
Still not sure if they were the ones mentioned in the original post- can't even remember who posted it tbh.

Just watched MOD, spurs vs west ham. Can\\\'t remember seeing a better goalkeeping performance by both goalies. Some fantastic saves.

.... and another outstanding performance from this cnut!

Jaysus, he's not doing his son any favours is he?

none what so ever. That game is more fight then football so I imagine Lennon is looking at his squad and going well you guys are the biggest so you get to play. No place for a skillfull young striker when you know you the central defense will be knocking seven shades out off him. Just the way I would look at it tho

well, you'd be wrong.

for a start, Stokes is a skillful young footballer, but he's also no lightweight and can hold his own in a physical battle. He's scored 19 goals this season, and every defence he's up against is as phusical as Old Man Weir or Bougherra (although bougherra gets away with so much with referees it's unfunny).

Why Samaras gets the nod is that he can play further out wide than Stokes can (or at least is more successfull) and is very useful when it comes to stretching defences to leave gaps for Hooper/Commons/Ledley/Ki to exploit (which they have all done with success against Rangers this season).

Rangers Played yesterday with an attack minded 442 yesterday, far different to how they lined out for most of this season, in an antifootball 541 "wattenaccio" system.
Samaras is a great player (when he's in the mood for it, a major failing of his) to have against a defensive set up. When opposing teams try to press forward, Stokes is better.

Yesterday Rangers played the game by bypassing the midfield and lumping the ball to Lafferty (one of the worst players to walk onto a football pitch in the history of the game) and Jelavic and hassling Mulgrew and Rogne all game.

If Celtic had gone ahead at any point in the game they would have won it. As it was they paid for not converting their first half chances and if it was going to extra time the momentum was with Rangers.

BTW I'm a celtic fan and being beat by that shower of shite hurts far worse than anything else football related.

This as well.

I know the reason I started going there was of their posting here. Shame about that stupid situation.

[Teddie]

It's a decent squad and its pretty experienced. Okay they are no All Blacks but apart from NZ you'd fancy them to give any team a game. *
*

I wouldn't be too confident at all. I can't remember the last time we played well away at France or the Southern Hemisphere sides. Obviously we do well against England because it's England and they always up their game for them but apart from them I'd expect all the big sides to steam roll us quiet comfortable in the WC.

That article is nonsense I reckon. His dad is like one of those dads you see in American Football films, wants him to be world #1, but he's not a fucking retard!

I know with PP I got mine changed by the live support. Not sure about boyles.

[Bubbleking]

Aren't you the main reason why they're not posting here anymore?!

ah thats a bit harsh imo - is that a personal opinion or has that been leaked from somewhere?

In relation to the whole Genting poker incident I started a thread because I wanted things to be discussed openly. Derek knew what was going on but choose to ignore the whole thing. I suppose it is my "fault" if starting that thread caused them to stop posting here but I dont think I did anything wrong

Ah yeah, they handled the whole Genting thing lolbad. Was just under the impression from a few people that it was your tone in the thread that was particularly the reason they stopped posting here. Didn't really follow the whole thing tbh, so could easily have picked it up wrong.

well my tone was particularly harsh in that thread but tbh I felt it was merrited. At the time I, along with about 2 dozen others, were looking for work and was duped into going to the Voodoo on the premise of there being jobs available - it turned out to be an affiliate harvest.

So naturally enough I was pretty steamed. Absent of any kind of apology I havnt been back since and wont be either. However the issue at hand is that they are only hurting their bottom line by not posting

TBH I had thought that there would be jobs available but not perhaps initially, and the initial evening was perhaps not handled the best.

I was just reading that thread there (missed it at the time) and I don't think you in particular said anything even close to out of line.

The last post that VCC made in the thread seemed like a pretty decent apology as well - was there a follow-on thread that I missed where more shit hit the fan or what?

[Strewelpeter]

Just reading It's a Long Way from Penny Apples at the moment; wow, Bill Cullen really does love himself! Having said that am very much enjoying the description of life in Dublin in 'the good auld days' - book should have been marketed as 'a history of Dublin, with some obnoxious fck talking about himself in the third person and spoiling the story'

Why would you do that to yourself, are you some sort of masochist

He is the most ridiculous human I have ever had the misfortune to encounter, Oh and the book is almost totally fantasy.

fuel tank tablets, posted by Sirtoyou

Regarding these, I had a taxi a few years ago and had it in with a company with over 100 cars.
Cars varied in standard and mileage at the time but all had to go through an annual nct.
One of the lads used to get these online and sell them on, I don't think any one using them ever failed an emissions test.
My own car had readings better than that of a new car at the time.They genuinely made the car more efficient on fuel and also felt better on performance.I cannot recommend them enough.
Half a tablet will do for a small tank or a full one for a larger car.Once a month will do for normal mileage ,I used to drop one in with a full tank of diesel about once a fortnight at the time.If I was to see them by chance I'd be sceptical but from experience they do exactly as they say on the tin.

Great stuff - sounds like they'll do the job.

Any idea how long I'll be waiting for delivery?

Just to clarify, they were never banned as far as I remember. We just asked to close the situation by them saying they are sorry if anyone was misled, and that if similar was to happen again, they would set expectations in a better way.

And they just decided themselves not to post anymore after that is it?

It seems weird because the thread seemed to come to a decent conclusion.

I don't as I said one driver would buy them and supply the rest of us.I haven't used them since I got rid of the taxi, I must get them.He never had any complaints at the time about ordering or delivery.The 10 pill pack single box will be enough to last a year+.

After several items going missing in our house such as 2 nintendo dsi's, a psp, one of my running shoes and dvds & books i was becoming concerned something strange was going on.

Missus just rang me to say she caught our 1 and a half year old girl putting a picture frame in the bin and when she checked the bin she also found an extravision dvd we had out on rental.

I think it is fair to assume thats where everything else has ended up

[shano_88]

Just ordered Friday Night Lights Season One from Play the other seasons don't seem to be available yet in Region 2 thou

Anybody here buy much stuff from Play.com I know its free delivery I used a 3v card to buy it and there was a €1 charge from Play is that standard with that/other credit cards?

[Bless You]

Was at my nephews 5th birthday party yesterday at a play centre in Blanchardstown.
Not having sired an heir myself, I never know what to do with myself at these things.

At one stage I noticed the other parents who were all sitting chatting together looking utterly fed up. The thought struck me, this must be an almost endless cycle for parents of younger kids. When their own kids go to school there must be a birthday party nearly every weekend to be going to and the same kind of thing over and over: Fit Kidz, Pirates Den, Tumble 'n' Play etc etc

My sister had one of her little ones at a party on Saturday, then Danny's yesterday. That's pretty much her whole weekend gobbled up right there! Not to mention the expense.

You breeders are a funny bunch if you ask me.

Yep. Buy off it regularly. They have a a charge on all items, its weird. But I guess thats why they can deliver free. They arrive promptly tbh though.
