Its good to see that Phil Jackson agrees with me

[Opr]

Ah ffs where is Kobe's head tonight!

Only for Gasol who is having a mega game.

Opr

[Denny Crane]

sigh

[Lafortezza]

Artest having a monster game too, shooting pretty well and playing great defence.
No matter how long the Lakers are down by 3/4/5 points I'm concerned when Kobe gets the ball.

[Guest]

Lakers should have had a couple of free throws there

[Starvin Marvin]

Ads or Vuvuzelas, not sure which is more -ev.

[Denny Crane]

at least you can turn down the ads

[eagle eye]

Fisher and Artest are two guys that are really clutch, ugh I'm very nervous now. We need Rondo and Pierce, please.

[Lafortezza]

Kobe gonna Kobe

[Teddie]

That's it. The 3 point from Fisher was the killer.

[Denny Crane]

sick. i'd completely given up on my lakers -6.5 bet

[Maloney]

sick. i'd completely given up on my lakers -6.5 bet

Good sweat

[Denny Crane]

[Guest]

commentators are gas

when Kobe is double teamed they congratulate him for passing the ball to the free man instead of trying to get a shot off

[Lafortezza]

NBA commentators are notoriously bad, they make Jim Beglin look like a visionary.

[cardshark202]

sick sweat now!

[Denny Crane]

laid it off.

[Denny Crane]

lol

I think a big part of it is that they cannot slag off the superstar.
So instead of pointing out the only(?) weakness in his game Dunphy style they overplay when he does pass the ball at the right time to give others a good chance

[eagle eye]

I feel sick

[Lafortezza]

Of all the cunts to win it they pick Vujacic. gg lakers i guess. nn all

[Guest]

If id just played like he did and the interviewer started giving me the supporting Kobe line, they would be counting their teeth

[Opr]

It must be pretty gutting to stop Kobe like that and still lose.

FG are some trainwreck and don't deserve to be in government

FF are obviously even worse for reasons we already know

LAB have no policies at all

bring back the Brits imo, Eton-educated toffs are what we require at this juncture

I'd have to vote FF if a general election was called today.

FFS! Fkn Eircon are fkn useless. Fkn cnuts.
Yesterday they told me that "If I was lucky somebody might look at it today"
So I drove up to the exchange and the two lads who are up there are putting in new stuff not dealing with faults. Scour the roads and there is no one to be seen out on the lines. Call the machine again and have to go through the usual bollox and eventually I get a wan who calls the engineers in Naas. They tell her that the line is gone near a road and they have to put a fuckin 'Traffic Management Plan' in place and it is highly unlikely that they will do it today and obv they won't work the weekend because its only a pissy little 75 pair line.
Well Fuck you you fuckin overpaid Monopoly bastards.

Not as awful as the passport office though.

In fairness, the passport office are currently protesting (ridiculous as the protest may be) and do in general provide an ok service. The above however is standard practice from the likes of eircom in this country.

why? (presumably based on their record )

I actually can't come up with a good enough reason, trying for the past 20 mins.

They are all equally useless.

just some sort of subconscious reflex then?

They are all equally useless.

we don't know that for a fact (although this week's shenanigans would certainly lend credence to that theory)

tbh the only politicians i'd attach any faith in - and know you will strongly disagree - are Brian Lenihan and Mary Harney.

you must not have been reading my posts; I'm a big fan of Harney

Honestly didn't want to laugh at that, but....

My thoughts exactly. So bad it's good

Seems this sly dig at Obama has gone backwards. Their chief exec reminds me of a certain FF member...

Posted this in another forum, but maybe any budding gardener might be able to help me out..

We moved in a newly built house about 6 months ago. The garden was only rotivated and we got top soil down and then the grass seed. It's been about 6-7 weeks since the seed went down but the garden seems invested with weeds. From checking up, it seems like Redshank but i'm not sure.

Couple of quick questions if anyone can help.

1. Will putting weedkiller down kill the grass aswel? Can anyone recommend a good weedkiller?
2. Should we get the grass cut and see if that will end it? It will be the first cut so not sure when's the best time to cut it.
3. What about pulling them all up from the roots manually? Will that leave gaping holes that we'll need to put more seed down?
4. Will it just go away or will it keep coming back?

Any other advice more than welcome. Thanks

Tony

wtf. You get paid to do a job. You don't do that job to the best of your ability you get sacked, no ifs or buts. It's time the government took on these cnuts in the passport office & sack everyone of them. The hardship they are putting the public through is not acceptable.

They haven't the balls to go out on strike & the government haven't the balls to sack them.
Shower of cnuts.

Rant over.

Such excellent Jazz music last night. Was a five-piece band playing 'latin funky' jazz and it was phenomenal. All their own tunes as well. Just sitting back in the club sipping on Cuba Libres and soaking up the atmosphere.

The club itself is highly famous - Reduta Jazz club - and has a brilliant sound to it. It was where Vaclav Havel (the liberator of Czech from Soviet rule) brought Bill Clinton on his first official presidential visit to meet him. Good old Bill got up on the stage and played a sax solo (not a euphemism!).

Ashtrays on the tables in a pub.
Ahh yes, I remember it well.

Is it safe to presume this is meant for strewelpeter

[DAMO72]

Tony from the photos it looks like its too soon to be cut. Leave it untill it thickens a bit more . I know it will look terrible for a while but it will be better in the long run . After it is cut you can get Lawn feed & weed and moss killer from any gaden centre . I think its about €13 a bag or there is a liquid form that that does the same thing . Hope this helps.

Looks pretty awful to me, sadly.
I can't believe that is Jackie Chan, he looks really different/weird to when I last saw him and seems so so wooden, in the trailer.

Did I hear this playing at the end of that clip? Hell yeah!
