fairly sick this morning

hmmmmmmm
i don't see any maxwell house on that site

get yourself some of this Angry-Ball

then you'll be Happy-Ball, or at least Mellow-Ball

[Fuzzy Logic]

Starting to kick off in FIFA with the VP of FIFA, Jack Warner, threatening to unleash a 'tsunami' against Sepp Blatter:

"I indicated that at the Miami Concacaf Congress on 3 May Mr Blatter made a gift of $1m to Concacaf to spend as it deems fit. This annoyed [Uefa] president Michel Platini who was present and he approached secretary general Jerome Valcke complaining that Mr Blatter had no permission from the finance committee to make this gift to which Jerome replied that he will find the money for Mr Blatter.

"I also indicated ... Fifa through Mr Blatter organised gifts of laptops and projectors to all members of the Caribbean and no objections have been made ... to date."

From guardian website:

Warner's apparent revelation of an email from Valcke about Bin Hammam running against Blatter for the Fifa presidency is potentially more explosive. Valcke, according to Warner's statement, wrote to him suggesting that the Qatari Bin Hammam had "bought" the 2022 World Cup for his country.

Warner said: "I wrote Valcke (FIFA Secretary General) telling him, among other things, that the outcome of the elections may cause some fracture in the Arab world which we can ill afford now and that I will like to ask Bin Hammam to withdraw from the race. To which Jerome replied to me and I quote: 'For MBH [Bin Hammam], I never understood why he was running. If really he thought he had a chance or just being an extreme way to express how much he does not like anymore JSB [Blatter]. Or he thought you can buy Fifa as they bought the WC.'"

[Zod]

Warner is digging around his bag of evidence to find something that won't land him in the crap as well.

I've read some less then complementary reviews of bluemountain... never tried it for myself though.

We've had book club, cooking club....

Coffee club anyone?

[Strewelpeter]

Just as in Ireland with the clowns that run the GAA, we should count ourselves very lucky that there are organisations such as Fifa, the IOC and numerous other sporting bodies to suck up some of the surplus of vain, corrupt egomaniacs who might otherwise be running countries.

[Loopz]

GAA is a well run organization now the FAI on the other hand make FIFA look like they know what they are doing

Mini brag - 3rd in the SE €55 freezeout for €250 bananas pretty cool as it will go towards me upgrading my camera, 2nd or 1st would of gotten me a hell of a lot closer (1st €610 2nd €410) but was nice to have a decent run towards the end of a tournie instead of either bubbling or min cashing

Bar 1 dubious call last night I felt I played as well as I have in a long time, little nervy for a bit when I double up Vera and another player that would of brought us down to 4 with 5 getting paid but not to be and we were there for another awhile, blinds going up I was falling into the 10/15 bigs range thinking here we go again short stacks are gonna slide into the money.

Some live players never cease to amaze me blinds 500/1000 guy to my immediate right playing 12k or so opens to 3.2k and I shove on him and he folds another orbit and he tries the same after winning some blinds and antes and I shove on him again and he folds, people limping for 1k out of 8k stacks and folding to bets on the flop, madness Ted!

Certainly happy with the cash as it has been awhile and was good to catch up with a few people I aint seen in ages and catch up on some news and general good banter

Mini beat- not as much as it could/should of been, new camera if I buy it gonna cost the guts of 1k

Mini variance - probably only did because hatedajacks wasn't there he wins everything

[SatNav]

omg I am so depressed, went to the loo last night , had iphone in my back pocket of jeans, it fell into the toilet

It had a black leather type flip cover on it and there was toilet roll (as far as i remember) in the toilet when it fell in!

what are my chances of my pride and joy working again, really really pissed off

When I lived in OZ we had a pool out the back of the house. Anytime someone got thrown in with a phone in their pocket drying it beside the Air Con or near some heat source you get it back up and running. But they weren't as advanced as iPhones so I would imagine that the components wouldn't be as robust as in old Nokias.

Did you forget to pull your pants down?

[Zod]

take the battery out and stick the battery and the phone into the airing cupboard for a day. if it dries out and works, you're in luck. chances are it won't, though.

i was wondering the same thing

turkish toilet maybe?

Strange move, don't think it's going to be in the mood for reading music reviews after being dropped in the toilet...

Kings of Leon are lolbad live by the way.

I seen them in the 02 Arena 2 years ago and thought they were excellent.

Just made popcorn using the old fashioned oil and pot method for the first time in years. So much better than the microwaved variety AINEC. Sprinkling of salt and drizzled with melted butter. Going to enjoy this and watch Machete now.

Cool beans man, must get a few games of Fifa going again aint been on the xbox in ages.

Mary Horney is a fish, he beat me heads up in JPs monthly game

Considering I had less than 2.5 blinds early on I can't complain tho. wp Carl

He really is unlucky not to beat him heads up

<3 you too dude

also wp to Hyzepher on a nice little cash, played very well and had a stack to do damage..was cautious about how to proceed with him..

Shipping this thing is one thing but playing your hero heads up is another thing.. wp Ste legend and a great player.. only got his hands on some chips when we got heads up.. only for me to take them off him with 2 badly played hands on my part also AK is a way better hand than Aces when the two collide

Anyway onwards and upwards.. rolled for pokering and drinking for the next few weeks

You will never learn congrats dude

fyp

Nah its always Kev, he thinks when he doesn't win it one week he is running bad

[SatNav]

can someone find me an email address for apple as i cant find it anywhere on their site!

[Ramblin' Man]

Here's a fun game if you're bored. Text everyone in your phone book saying "Hey I lost my phone can you ring it please?" And then; sit back, relax, and wait to see how many idiots call you.

or maybe you have actually lost your phone and web text around to hear its ringtone?

Cool beans man, must get a few games of Fifa going again aint been on the xbox in ages.

I'm half thinking of heading up for the live game Saturday week now.

What sort of interest would a €10.00 a man tourney of FIFA 11 get? Say for all the guys that get knocked out early from the poker. All we need is someone to bring an xbox, 2 pads, game and cables. There are spare TVs that could be used in the casino I'm sure.

[Keane]

How much you selling the one you currently have for?

I seen them in the 02 Arena 2 years ago and thought they were excellent.

My third time seeing them now and I have to say besides the first time when all they had to play was their first album they're a bunch of big dull duds on stage.

I find it somewhat lamentable that they insist on avoiding most of their up-tempo stuff at a gig like Slane, which as has been pointed out earlier isn't exactly one for the connoisseurs, but at least if you're going to play all the slow songs play the ones that fucking rock like Milk, Day Old Blues etc.

I am not sure I am going to go to the game but you could throw up a post in the thread to see how much interest you get.

Somebody has sent me a PM about it already haven't decide yet as I don't know how much they are going for 2nd hand, but if you are interested you can have refusal if that person doesn't want it.

I've just seen them the once would not be a huge gig goer and this was my first time in the 02 and just had a great time

Weird experience on holidays last week.

Im going to the toilet and the cleaner a turkish guy in his 30s walks out against me. I noticed a few children washing there hands as i was going in they were in the ladies toilets.

When i walked out the turkish guy was holding a small girl in his arms and i saw him kissing her a few times i was a bit put off and turned a few times as i was leaving the area. There was 3 other small girls with her with the oldest been 7. The toilet was very sheltered from the main entertainment/bar area.

I really didnt like what i saw i kept an eye and the child came out a few seconds later and the older child said dont say anything elle may ( childs name ) , the small child was obviously going telling her parents something.

It was a very family type resort and 4* staff were very close with the familys/kids but this guy was a toilet cleaner and would have had no dealings with kids/familys.

I sat down with my GF and debated all night should i say anything. I guess people realise its a serious accusation and in the end i said nothing.

Any thoughts on what is should have done in the sceanrio?

[Moneymaker]

I think you might need a bit more evidence to make a public or official accusation but a cornering of the guy and an I know what your up to to his face might have been worth a shot. Better safe than sorry and at least you'd feel like you had done something.

And @ Tipp, i'm definitely acting on that somehow in your position, at least letting the parents know what's going on.

so it deffinetly wasn't his child/niece/relation?
yeah its a toughie allright, but deffinetly should have said something to the parents if you were sure there was no relationship between them. i would certainly like the oppurtunity to paste the creep around the toilets if it were my kids

Can have 2 results below 50 to allow you progress.

on the plus side, I know many people would say that avoiding a career in finance is very much +life EV (and I might agree with them)

was there many people in the same boat in your course? if yes, would getting together and trying to get some movement from the authorities be an option?
