Looks like I could be doing South East Asia on my own come October. All the boys here have different plans and Im the only one wanting to head over at that time.

I know it may, and probably will change, but nervous excitement covers it pretty well.

sweet insomnia. given up any pretence of even trying to sleep now.

On the Limetless thing TD totally agree with waht Semibluff said. The film that was billed in the trailer is not what happened at all in the cinema. I thought it was all a bit pointless in the end which kind of ruined the start of the film which had some sort of potential to it. De Niro should stop doing films

4x Finkels and one Richie is it? Should be a confusing time!

You know if you deleted the word armwrestle from the above it would be the gayest thing I've ever read in my life.

Brilliant.

Is there a way of checking the entry fee of all the tournaments i've played on Ladbrokes today? I've played about 12 tournies this evening and there must be some fuck up or something because there's a lot less money in my account there should be. Was on to some retard on Livechat that hasnt a clue. Cheers

I think this is what you want:

Main lobby>Menu>My Account>Playcheck>Tournament Search.

I just had a look through mine and you can find out how many rebuys you made if it was for a rebuy. Sure let me know if you can't find it and I'll give you better directions.

1st ep (pilot) of Fringe is a bit too crazy for my liking. Will stick thru a couple to see

Pregnancy is such a wonder, as cliched as that sounds. The baby is now able, after 22 weeks, to taste food and is about a a foot in height. Going for the first scan on Thursday, which is a ridic long wait for it. Really hope it doesn't show anything wrong.

Taste food? Really? Will the flavour really transfer into the essentials that get passed through the umbilical cord?

I'm in Mumbai today, staying right beside Taj hotel that got hit in Mumbai attacks few years back...so come on India today. I don't want to see this place after a loss to Pakistan.

Oh also no idea how IPL selection works but judging by the local reactions Kevin O'Brien should get picked easily. Everyone says his name or "50 balls"
He has made a big name for himself over here.

[coillcam]

also need a new browser..

firefox keeps crashing on me several times an hour.... and it's gone slow as hell

installed opera and while it looks good it's retarded in many ways.. no refresh button some of the time?

Chrome... seems pretty fast but hate google getting near any of my browsing history..

What about IE???? it was always bad.. is it any better?

any other options

Have you upgraded to firefox 4 yet?

tbh macs I wouldn't be too worried about google having browsing history. If you want no personal info out there then there are alternatives, various different independent developer builds of it like chromium are available that don't skim any personal info - from the last time I researched it.

I have a pension plan and an investment plan with Irish Life and Permanent. Are these safe giving the trouble that this company is currently in? It's quite a lot of money to me so I really don't want to get burned here. At the moment the investment plan is up about 7% after almost 3 years. If I keep it in for 5 years I get another bonus that makes it go up another 5% or so. But I'd happily cash it out now if I thought there was any risk to this. As far as I know none of the fund is based on how well Irish Life shares are doing. It's called Consensus Life Series 2 but if anyone on here like RD have any advice/insight I would be glad to hear it.

Yeah its grand...sure its guaranteed by us all now!

it's safe (in theory) as it's ring-fenced from the garbage in the banking book

unless ILP have somehow been eating their own (financial) shite , which is not beyond the bounds of possibility.
<cough, AIB and BoI staff pension funds, cough>

V for Vendetta would be our man here. I'm a trustee of our pension fund (invested with ILP, sigh) so I'd be interested in what he has to say.

I see Ireland scored 2 last night without that shambles of a man Robbie Keane. Whats more we only missed one sitter as opposed to the 5 that he misses on average. Reports have also confirmed that moaning to the referee and pointing in random directions while talking in some incoherant laungage is down over 500%

If you think this man is the most over rated player ever to call himself a professional footballer then

[Raoul Duke III]

OK, it's 10am here

In Mohali it's 2.30pm

where the feck did the .30 come from? This warrants further investigation.

The Injuns do half hour time zones. Only place in the world iirc.

how did we ever find stuff out before the interweb

Indian Standard Time (IST) is the time observed throughout India and Sri Lanka, with a time offset of UTC+05:30. India does not observe daylight saving time (DST) or other seasonal adjustments, although DST was used briefly during the Sino–Indian War of 1962 and the Indo–Pakistani Wars of 1965 and 1971.[1] In military and aviation time, IST is designated E* ("Echo-Star").[2]

Indian Standard Time is calculated on the basis of 82.5° E longitude, which is just west of the town of Mirzapur, near Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh

From this article:



Know its a longstanding joke about garda plucking those figures from the air. But isn't this spectacularly off?

35 ounces in a kg, an eight of an ounce sells for maybe €20, so even if he was going door-to-door selling it himself he'd make about a max of €112,000.

never paid more than 240 for an ounce of the finest, unfortunately such quality shit is hard to come by now as he is on a 10 year career break

Hitch is a no.3 imo

always better than being a no.2

No, it's not really funny.

There's a strange sort of "critical mass" when it comes to the thanks button - when a post gets enough names under it subsequent viewers just end up thanking it without thinking.

The great documentary made by a couple of Irish in Venezuela years ago when they happened to be with Chavez around the time the US backed capitalist pig dogs organised a coup against him. Magnificent, award winning documentary.

Thanks a million for linking this.

Iran uses a half hour for no reason other than to be awkward.
Parts of Oz use a half hour as well.

I lumped on India at 1.65 yesterday I see they started at 1.5 and are in to 1.35 already. Have they got off to a flyer or is it just the weight of money?

7 Million matched now it was < 350K when I got on

Rubbish Robbie keane has a class international record. 46 goals if im not mistaken in just over a 100 games. Such rubbish talk. Oh shane long has had one good year in the championship he shud defo start ahead of a player who has a better international record than Raul. You dont like Robbie Keane as a person i reckon and cant see passed the fact that he key for Ireland.

Put please lets start Long.. or Best... I mean they are lads who have been doing it for years and both seem likely to go on and score 100 gaols in the premership. give me a break.

[Bubbleking]

why do Robbie Keane fan boys always use the Raul example? I could counter that by saying David Healy for Northern Ireland has a better record than Robbie Keane - so what?

[Aya14]

Never seen this before.

You could except by no appreciable measure does he have a better record than Robbie Keane. Not at domestic level and not at international level either.

[Wesley Harms]

I haven't seen one comment that the real deal would make himself.

[Zod]

TBH I wouldn't have a problem with Long and KEane starting for the next few games now that Doyle's crocked.

Keane has been a great servant for Ireland but TBH he's not the player he once was and International football shouldn't trade off fame.

[Zod]

I haven't seen one comment that the real deal would make himself.

and that's my point. Kill Howard Finkel with kindness.

Ok well i guess ill stick with 1 in 2 at international level is brilliant. So who do you think should play nstead? Oh it was great to see Ireland last night play entertaining attacking football, despite Ireland being unable to defend. Long played brillant i aint saying he didnt.

[Bubbleking]

You could except by no appreciable measure does he have a better record than Robbie Keane. Not at domestic level and not at international level either.

Robbie keane has 46 goals in 105 games - strike rate 0.44

David healy has 35 goals in 75 games - strike rate 0.47

People who use the Raul example to classify Robbie keane must also accept that Healy is a better International striker than both Raul and Keane

Finkels, excessive BK drool and uninteresting cricket. Meh.
