Taken is a very good action flick with Liam Neeson. Very enjoyable in a let the brain have a rest kind of way.

good flick
also liked man on fire

I didn't catch any of the IO coverage, and the threads were too long to read after, but;
What exactly did this Paco Torres fella do that made him a IPB hero

One hand on the televised table, El Tren raised it up in early position and action was folded to Chris Dowling. El Tren then looked up and deep into Chris's soul and uttered his famous words...."You raise............I Kill You" in his best gringo accent. Chris duly folded AA face up.

1st episode of the 2010 Aussie Millions is up on pokertube

1st up in the $100k buyin event. Ivey and Dwan at the feature table

[Lord Sir Banter]

2. He has a little train he uses as a card protector, and when he goes all in, the train comes with the chips and goes "Choo Choo!".

funny the way most people here seemed to hate Humberto Brenes who did this.

[Ste05]

1. He looks like Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride.
2. He has a little train he uses as a card protector, and when he goes all in, the train comes with the chips and goes "Choo Choo!".

If that isn't enough for you, well...

Also, when he was knocked out he came over to a French blogging team (who were beside the IPB team) and a drunken Rounders123 was sent over to get his autograph, which he signed and posed for photo's, there's pics of the moment in one of the threads... class fella altogether.

[aodea]

Anyone here know anything about these guys and their coaching??

http://collinmoshman.com/

not sure bout his coaching but his heads up book and sit n go book are top notch. Only finished his heads up book recently but has hugely improved that area of my game. I would think that coaching from moshman and his mates would be great for your stt game.

I posted this yesterday i think it was, what do you make of it?

Just watched the first episode of the Aussie Millions the 100k higher roller event, man its a weird structure, pot limit before the flop no limit after the flop and you only have 30 seconds to make your decisions.

I haven't bought either yet but the choice is ...

In the Apple iPhone you get a very good, slick, well made device that is owned by Apple. It is not yours to do anything you want to with unless you break it. Even then you are still owned to the core by Apple.
With the Htc you also have a slick well made device which in some minor respects falls short of the iPhone, range of bought applications is a temporary issue but ability to use screen in daylight is an issue and in some other areas it outperforms the iPhone for ordinary phone and text use and battery life in particular. You do get total control over your own device, you or anyone else can create and run applications on it without ceding control of your mobile communications on a political, moral and commercial level to Apple.

Simple choice IMO

Tesco have a few of those mad offers. Best one they have at the moment if you buy 6 Stella and one of those large Chicago Town takeaway pizza (Only frozen pizza I have ever had that comes close to takeaway) you get both for I think its 4.99.

I would love to have an eye for spotting value in special offers like these people. LOL the marketing guys in Hoover.

Was buying drink in ASDA in Derry for the christening and it was £12.99 for 18 cans of Carlsberg. There was a 24 pack beside it with no price so asked the lads working there. It was also £12.99. The cans in both packs were the same size (440ml i think) and the lads said it happens all the time!

Tesco is Letterkenny do a €7 meal deal that they don't seem to do down in Dublin. This easily fills 4 people. You get a choice of Main Dish (all huge boxes) Lasagne, Pasta, Wedge Bake, you get a choice of side..Mashed Potato, Garlic bread, cauliflower cheese and you get a choice of dessert...Strawbeery Cheesecake, profiteroles and something else.

To buy seperately, the main is €5.99 and the side is €3.99 and the dessert is €4.99

Assuming you bought the tickets all together then you are travelling on the one booking reference number and they will check them through from Dublin (Anything less than 3 hours stopover in London => c. 50% chance of your bags arriving at the same time as you)

If you are flying with Ryanair through Gatwick or Stanstead then you will be on separate reference you will need to get your bags in London and check them in again there. Highly unlikely, unless you booked local lo cost flights yourself, that you will need to do that in Bangkok.

Edit Doh! I just see now that you are with BA in your OP so once you are not with Ryanair you are OK the whole way.

FML, clutch on my car went on the way to the Rage gig. No history of clutch problems, just driving slowly in a car park, put it into 1st when about to pull out onto the road and the clutch just died. Any suggestions? In a garage already for diagnosis.

Ah most of it done now. Will finish off the rest on my own during the week.

What do you mean it died? Its usually a gradual thing. Is it slipping? Put in 5th with handbrake up and try to take off. If it doesnt cut out immediately thats a good indicator its pretty much toast.

Marks and Spencers do a similar thing for €12 and you also get a bottle of wine.

its as much to do with the price they bought it at as the price they are selling it at
Once they make their margin they don't really care

+one batch (id guess the 24's but ? with the world cup coming) is old stock, so instead of taking it off the shelves and sticking it in the warehouse to rot, they just sell it thru letting customers either

a)laugh at the stupid supermarket
or
b)feel clever for getting a bargain

they do deals in border counties that are not available elsewhere

i doubt they are making a loss on the deal price tbh

Need to get to Barcelona from Prague for a conference at end of June. Guessing taking the train would be ridiculous?

From a time spent travelling point of view, it would be a bit daft alright.
You have a low-fare flight from Prague to Barcelona which takes a shade under two hours versus 25 hours on a train with a minimum of three changes.

Still have all this stuff on my computer from when I was trying to guide the girlfriend home from Slovenia during the volcano troubles so I could look into it further if you like?

All that said, if time and patience were no barriers, I would do the train myself.
Beautiful way to see a cross section of Europe and far and away my favorite way to travel.
I really don't like to fly.

Wasn't it you who feels the need to phone everyone you know before taking a flight??

You could fly there and train back of course if you weren't in a rush back for a threesome or anything?

Any of the fitness gurus here have any idea of what would be a fair price for a guy who runs 5k in 35 minutes at the moment to run a sub 26 minute 5k in within eight weeks?

Would it be easily achievable?

7 minutes for 1km average? I think he is taking he piss Thats like 11 minutes a mile ffs, I could almost walk that.

Thanks strewelpeter; thats what I presumed but not what I hoped. We're travelling through Vietnam and flying out of Hanoi back to Bangkok so was kinda hoping we could leave our bigger bags in BKK.

He's a big guy, no real fitness background from a couple of years, would say he's probably mildly obese at the moment, we did it on a treadmill this morning in the gym and he was pretty much unable to move at the end of the 5k. I was surprised he even did it, he was fairly fit about 3 years ago but is only re-starting training now.

Does he smoke?

Yeah, don't know exactly how many, but a lot. 20 a day maybe?

[eagle eye]

Yeah, don't know exactly how many, but a lot. 20 a day maybe?

If he doesn't intend to give them up I'd take the bet. If he is going to give them up now he has a very good chance at doing it imo. Breathing is a huge part of running anything over a mile. The reason he was in such bad shape on the treadmill is because of his breathing taking up so much of his energy.

all imo and all that:

35 is slow. Why does it take him so long now? I'd be pretty suspicious. I think someone who was pretty out of shape, but not obese or anything, but has no physical problems, could run 5k in 25mins after 8 weeks training irregardless of their current time.
