Interesting. I never knew that about Skype. Is it easy to do? I've needed to fax shit quite a few times.

it's a program called pamfax, that can be used as an add-on in skype, or also as a stand-alone through their website I think. Very easy to do. Took a couple mins to set up through skype, and it gives you 25c free credit which was enough to send the 3 page fax I needed or w/e

Having a stroll through town, there's a guy who's always at the end of that laneway that joins Grafton st with Clarendon st selling the big issue. It's a guilt trap he has going on there, I'm always uncomfortably practising eye contact avoidance.

Thankfully he was distracted texting somebody on his iPhone 4.

Phew.

Beat: lost 40E cycling
brag: somebody posted 100e of substances from amsterdam to this house like a year ago, they got here now and they are long gone
I especially like the birthday cards with the poppy seeds on them.

Ah it's not free.

I've used some online fax services before but i'll check old Pam out.

RE: Oasis vs Blur. I loved Oasis back in the day and had pretty much every album/saw them 7 or 8 times live, but Blur's music is on a different level.

[Loopz]

oasis vrs blur havn't read what has been posted

I was always a big blur fan as well as oasis at the beginning, oasis went downhill after an unreal start while blur have maintained their quality. Time has definatly proven blur to be the winner in this.


missus had the GN winner in a 10 yoyo winner takes all sweepstakes, so were off to our fav indian to put a hole in it

[RoadSweeper]

Zod called over to help out with a few computer things.

Absolute gentleman and he knows his stuff - i'd recommend him.

Also, he does look like Gattuso

A turtle was walking through the Phoenix park one evening and was attacked by a gang of snails.
The gardai asked the turtle could he describe what happened. The turtle replied, "I don't know, It all just happened so fast".

There is an Eastern European Big Issue dude who has been standing right in the door of Tesco Newbridge since it opened. Easily the most profitable square foot of retail space in the town.

[Opr]

Really like the look of the guy playing upfront for Swansea who scored the first goal which was a amazing free kick - Borini. Just having a read up on him and he is on loan to them from Chelsea.

[The Situation]

Playing five finger fillet with a dart after a few cans wasn't the brightest idea ever.

[ArmaniJeans]

As Kayroo mentioned the other day; the follow up to Robert Harris's Imperium; 'Lustrum' is such a great book. Actually both books are shaping up to be two of my fav books of all time.

Had £60 left to my name yesterday and spent a tenner on Lustrum and £40 on Ballabriggs, so a most excellent day's expenditure all-in-all.

Actually think that makes it about five books read in the last eight days, which is a bit ridic

His 'Pompeii' is worth reading as well.
Its different in that he doesn't stick to largely historical characters/facts like the Rome books, instead this time he constructs a mystery/thriller thingy in the 48 hours before the volcano erupts.
But still lots of fascinating stuff about politics and lifestyle of the era.

Unless you are the dude from Alien, I can't think of a situation where it would ever be a good idea.

Fantastic books, so thankful to AJ for recommending Imperium.

I'm about to read Pompeii, buy that for your next Rome fix.

Sweet win btw, well done.

edit, AJ got there before me

[Keane]

Did I see on the rugby forum that he is/will be eligible for Ireland?

[Emmet]

Nov 2012.

He's a project player. Needs to be here 3 years to be eligible.

Problem is if he keeps playing as he has, South Africa might call him home!

[Lord Sir Banter]

May not get his game before the world ends, harsh.

the party is not till next week?????

[Emmet]

Project player?

A player who hasn't been capped, moves to another country, builds a quasi citizenship over 3 year period, entitled to play for the country he is now in.

Means they aren't included in the NIQ's (Not Irish Qualified) players that provinces are limited in signing too.

[Lord Sir Banter]

I'm sure a few stragglers will turn up next week, but there is a core group who are committed.

I missed all the rugby switching between Yankees/Redsox and Masters. Making a mess of the quarterback remote role today.

Didn't miss much in the Leinster game tbh. Tight, nervous game from start to finish, with only the odd moment of magic.

Ground out the result though, that's all that matters really.

This would be great craic.

An American company is offering to pay a homeowner's mortgage and provide a new paintjob - all for free.

It's an incredible offer, but there's just one catch.

They'll turn your house into a giant billboard for the company - painting it with a brightly coloured ad.

California-based advertising agency Adzookie are offering the unusual deal, with chief executive Romeo Mendoza telling CNN Money they've had 5,000 inquires in two days since posting the offer on their web site earlier this week.

"Ninety percent are people who are in financial difficulty and need some help, which is understandable," Mendoza said. "The other ten percent are guys who just want to have some fun."

Mendoza got the idea when driving his daughter home from school. "I saw signs outside homes saying 'bank-owned' and suddenly I felt for the families I imagined lived there," he said.

"I was trying really hard to think of ways to help - then it hit me. Our company buys advertising all the time. We could buy ad space on their house and pay them for it."

Homeowners who sign up for the deal must agree to have their house painted for three months. Adzookie will then cover the mortgage for as long as the ad stays up. They'll even paint the house back to its original colours afterwards.

So far the company only has the budget to transform around 100 properties, with each house costing $8,000 (£4,900) to paint. Mendoza said he'll listen to people's stories before deciding who to help
