Just on this, would people actually care if they didn't notice the taste? I never understand how people find it okay to eat certain animals but disgusting to eat others. If it tastes good, nom nom imo.

Some animals have a higher risk of contracting a disease or infection when eaten as opposed to others. I will try anything but if I pay for one thing and am given something else that is a cheaper shitter substitute.

Basic example you go into a bar and ask for a pint of Heinken and are given a can of dutch poured into a glass. Are you happy or not.

Enjoy your rat and seagull sunday lunches tho more steak and chicken for me.

[DeadParrot]

Where's good in Dublins City Centre for a few people to sit around a laptop looking things up online? Basically, where has free wi-fi and wont mind people sitting around for an hour all that much?

Starbucks, library loads of spots

[boba_fett3099]

Cool yeah that's what I thought. It was through Momondo that I found the price which is similar to Skyscanner. I'll wait a few days and see what happens.

Same thing happened to me using momondo today but I just went directly to lastminute.com and found a flight for ~€20 dearer than the original one. snap booked it!

Obviously if you pay for something you should be given it. But if a chinese start selling seagull then I'd say no one would buy it, even if tasted the same chicken. Also laugh when people give out about Asians eating dogs.


Steak is so over-rated anyway tbh.

I've been to the museum of occupations today and I'll nip into the KGB museum tomorrow. The Fact Finding mission continues.

I'd have thought you guys would try to build a libertarian paradise. Something like Somalia maybe.

Any marketing types around who can translate some business-speak for me? Mate of mine got sent a job spec for this place and neither of us can figure out what any of it means:

http://www.globoforce.com/what-we-do/index.php

Ah, I actually interviewed for a job there in 2004 and got the offer, had to turn it down as the €€€ was too low (it was pretty much an entry-level position though, I was just back in Ireland after my years in the States so was happy to start at the bottom as long as the salary was semi-decent!) - seemed like a decent enough company at the time. Managed to find a gig paying €5K more a year by waiting a month, so the lesson learned was never accept a low offer when you think you can find something better! Oh man, turning down jobs, those were the days eh, Celtic Tiger where'd ya go?

Louis Pasteur caused quite a stir in the 1800's when he proved this was completely untrue. I don't know why people still think it is.

Yeah it was with Expedia I think and I've checked directly through their site but it's the same as the higher price quoted on Momondo. I'll just wait and see what happens. The cheaper one wasn't available a few days ago so hopefully it or something similar will become available again.

Bah Wu Tang have pulled out of their Dublin date. Too soon to go back down to Cork again!! bollox anyway

Have a look around here http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/ and if you see a few you like link them and I am sure people will give you a run down on what is the best.

Wonder can anybody reassure me when setting up an iphone on this.

Rang O2 today to try get the yoke unlocked, gave them IMEI no etc and they said would recieve a text within 2 days with a code and then would be able to link to itunes and reset it. Got text from O2 saying they sent off the request and then within 10 mins another text saying Apple have confirmed the ph is set to unlock and connect it to Itunes. Do this and ph still shows 'insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iphone' so do i now have to await another text or is something wrong? apple bah

[Donkathon]

lads I need a €10.50 transfer on boyle's for my PP if anyone can?

[Zod]

lol. I gave up after 2 months of trying to get vodafone/apple to unlock an iphone for me.

I have this in silver finish: its been kicked, bumped, thumped, chewed, dropped, flown thru air, had 'some' liquid spillage even... all by my kids and dog honestly! . And apart from a sticking '0' key on the number pad - it still works...

Serious question. Is there any point in trying to spin up a few quid on Full Tilt or is there little chance you'll get paid if you win?

you should be able to get your money back. If you're in the US, it looks like a different story though.

If you have money on there id play away, wouldnt put any on though. I've had 2 bank transfers received and am currently waiting on a large-ish Neteller one, looks like Non-Us are still getting money, just slower. I just left like 15 buyins on though i expect to be able to get it out tbh.

Deadly! just pure gold!

I have always been a huge fan & delighted the "old eminem" is coming out again,

[Semibluff]

hey guys,

Wondering can the BBV help me here. Looking to get my hand on some cardboard presentation boxes such as the link below

For the life of me I cant find were they are made, and the link below I only found today

The item I'm looking for is the "pin and badge" box

Cheers guys

EDIT: here's link: http://www.fundraisingboxes.ie/produ...pcf7-f1-p47-o1

[Flushdraw]

Cheers folks. Have about $60 on there looking to play a few tournies tonight. Does anyone want to ship me another $30-$40 on Full Tilt for the same on Stars/Boyles?

Yeah didnt realise it was out already, got it a little while ago + Royce is one of the best rappers around for last few years so should be a classic

Could probably do with some extra ram, though I think the i3 processor is quite a bit better than the AMD one in that Harvey Norman one.

[Donkathon]

[Zod]

hope the rest of the album is better than that track. seems like a standard rap by the numbers for both of them.

Eminem hasnt rapped like that in about 10 yrs. Album very enjoyable so far. Standard rap it aint, rhyming penis with anus is genius

If it'll be used for playing poker a lot that screen resolution is about as bad as it gets.

[Donk Magnet]

My laptop is 1920 x 1200 and I can only just fit 6 tables on it?
I just think if buying it for mainly poker then you should look for better res.

Sunderland.

Wes, Gibbo and JOS for £12m.

Think we should be getting more for that 3 tbh if Sunderland are effectively valuing N'Gog at £7m
