It was letter pairing, and went through a number of variations before today's was settled.

Sums?
If there is no quantities, surely it's assumed that I mean in equal quantites.
Using a much bigger quantity of one would be pretty pointless.
To clarify, gram for gram, pound for pound, carrots have more sugar than Lilt.Last edited by Mellor; 22-06-11, 02:43.

I'm watching The Walking Dead. I've heard that it fizzes out a fair bit as the series goes on, but the first three episodes have been a massive win so far. Would recommend watching at least the early episodes."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

Its a good watch though. Definitely entertaining. Watched the final ep of GOTSPOILERMeh, disappointed with the end of it. Dragons are cool and all but having them scream like annoying kids was a bit ridiculous.
Rest of the episode was quite good. I think it was prob my least favourite of all the eps thoughThis may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Rest of the episode was quite good. I think it was prob my least favourite of all the eps thoughSPOILERYeah it was more of a prologue to Season 2 than a part of Season 1. Apart from the dragons hatching and the declaration of the King in the North, everything was taken from book 2.
I thought they telegraphed the dragons way too much during the series. There may as well have been some scrolling text on the screen saying "These eggs are so gonna hatch" whenever they were on screen. During the book they're just another detail among a thousand others, so it's more surprising when it happens. I still got tingles when I saw them on screen, though.
I think it's because there's so little onscreen magic in the story that when it actually happens it's really exciting."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

My area is Civil Litigation and practice. I'll send you the draft outline if you're interested.
There was a practise here that had a sign on the door stating "NO Family Law" as they only did conveyancing. Funny to see it got taken down once the property side collapsed. The worst part was that they were god damn awful at FL as they never did it in the practise.
I quite enjoyed doing Civil Litigation where I used to work as she practised in all areas of the law. Conveyancing was my pet hate though.

Originally posted by Flushdraw View PostI posted last week i think about a dreadful deal a player took in the Sunday Million but this Sundays one just took the biscuit.
Very very well played to D3Yt00kRj3rB for reading his opponents right and getting such a sexy deal for himself. Before the Sunday Million, the guy is only an $1800 winner over 108 games with an av buyin of $43...
Gunders (biggest previous cash was $246) was itching to get a deal done with 7 players left when he was chip leader and D3Y was 2nd in chips. He never stopped asking throughout the game. The first chat box was his reply to that. The 2nd chat box is when they got 3 handed and D3Y was short
This is what the numbers/chipstacks looked like when they ran it through
D3Y said he'd only deal if they took an even chop and played for the last 20k. Despite having more than double his stack, Gunder bit his hand off for the deal and pcport (has a couple of $8k scores and 10+ 4 figure scores but is a $30k loser) wasn't far behind. $127.5k each is what they got

Wow, incredible read! The first few pages on life in Greece makes it sound AWFUL - we have our own problems but thank the gods we're not as messed up as that in Ireland (I hope!)
I actually remember reading a piece in National Geographic a year or two ago on that monastery in Greece; as always NG takes the softly-softly approach and makes the monks seem like living saints. I was reading the latest NG on the way to work today and was just thinking, whenever they tackle a subject outside of basic nature and the like, they often fall down. And their wishy-washiness when it comes to both evolution and religious makes my blood boil, obviously they need to be careful not to damage themselves by alienating the masses of retards in the States who believe in supernatural rubbish yet somehow find it impossible to believe in evolution, but the lack of editorial firmness in these areas is infuriating.

I particularly loved the quote about the railways:
The national railroad has annual revenues of 100 million euros against an annual wage bill of 400 million, plus 300 million euros in other expenses. The average state railroad employee earns 65,000 euros a year. Twenty years ago a successful businessman turned minister of finance named Stefanos Manos pointed out that it would be cheaper to put all Greece’s rail passengers into taxicabs: it’s still true."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I also liked the trins but sick people needing to break out the bribes before getting seen was also funny. I can imagine the minister for health spending the equipment budgets on new atms for A&E

Hey Guys,
Quick question/favour;
If anyone has a detailed business plan lay out, just with the headings that theyd be able to send on to me id really appreciate it.
Helping a friend with his at the minute and just trying to see is there one in particular that would be of relevance or that others have used and would recommend. If you could pm me with one that would be super!
Thanks

Anyway;
Carrots have the more sugar as the soft drink Liltit was Soule who proposed the QWERTY layout because the words "your typewriter" could be learned easily by salesmen, using only the top row of letters, to hopefully convince buyers that typing was easy.
[1]
There is a widespread urban myth that the QWERTY layout was invented to separate frequently used sequence pairs of letters. However, this is not true. For example, letters E and R, which are adjacent in QWERTY, is the most commonly paired sequence of letters that exists in the English language representing 15% of all keystrokes.
All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Shortie had 700k and got 4.4k
Deals favour the chip leaders really favourably.
Just jammed everything after the deal was done, nothing to play on for.
