No serious relationship, could get a job elsewhere pretty easily ( I reckon), have US citizenship and EU obviously so that's 26+ countries to choose from, good health, little debt, family all grown, parents in good health etc.

Anything else I'm missing?

leaving the country is not an option if you are an avid Guinness lover - I have yet to experience a quality pint of Guinness in a foreign land

+ + HD TV does me, and mkv files work fine

I own that machine but have had issues with mkv files. Namely, the audio will not work. Picture is fine but can't hear a thing.
Still, no huge issue as you can just get some MKV converters such as mkv vob to do the job for you.

Oh, just reading up on nutrition debate. Can anyone tell me what the issue with white bread is? Seeing as I go through about 20 slices a week...

Someone will undoubtedly have a better answer, but essentially white bread is bread with all the good stuff taken out ...

http://www.greenlivingtips.com/artic...own-bread.html

I alternate bread a decent amount, with wholemeal you feel better, plus have that smug feeling of eating good, but white bread tastes so much better.

i think olly posted a fairly inclusive list before. but i just thought that prospects/debt/relationships/mobility/etc etc would be the main factors. the older you are the less likely you're gonna be free, but i didn't think you be too old just on it's own.

[Ed]

I guessed that. As a serious answer - there sounds like bugger all to stop you. Age isn't an issue generally, and it's not as if you're that old either.

[LuckyLloyd]

Blame all the people that have been campaigning for 10million starting chips and 3 hour blinds for the last few years. The same players also want free food and dealers at every table.

17bb average sounds reasonable to me at stage anyway considering that there will be a large amount of people running on the spot around 10bbs and several more blinding away completely.

Under €1000 its going to be impossible to run with a WSOP main event style event without a massive company throwing money at it. The IPO and the Deepstack do a good job at bringing certain elements of the major events to the lower buy in market but its just not feasible to go all out.

Never was an issue for myself. I'd rather they ditch the food if it allowed them to improve the value on offer in terms of the structure.

I accept the main train of what you're saying, and Mike himself has decently accounted for what is happening.

More importantly can someone give me a reason to support either the Saints or the Colts please.

This is a no brainer. Hurricane Katrina just isn't far enough in the past.

Assuming this is Glowing Mind? Ye, I think you're right about the age thing. Just probably should have done it at 21-24 maybe. Who knows? Maybe I'll just spend the 'summer' here and then f**k off to Asia

[Sledgejammer]

Never was an issue for myself. I'd rather they ditch the food if it allowed them to improve the value on offer in terms of the structure.

I definitely agree, but you'd be surprised by how much of an issue this is for the average tournament player. It can be the difference between playing and not playing for some weird reason.

[PhoneMonkey]

Oh, just reading up on nutrition debate. Can anyone tell me what the issue with white bread is? Seeing as I go through about 20 slices a week...

White bread and any other high simple carbohydrate food like it (pasta,rice) is a huge source of energy as its made of mostly simple sugars. Which is fine in itself, but the effects are two pronged.

a) If eating a lot of it, you'll likely be eating a lot of "empty" calories. i.e. getting energy your never going to use.

b) It spikes your insulin levels, just like mars bar, or can of coke which is not only slightly addictive and makes you crave more simple carbs and it cycles but it also means that you are much more likely to store the energy spoken about before as fat.

Thats why eating noodles on toast late at night is a pretty bad idea.

Caveat: this of course applies to everyday joe soaps, if you are fairly active or an athlete it really doesnt matter what kind of carbs you get.

[GrangeUtd]

A quite brilliant piece of music. For some reason seems very fitting for a Sunday.
It also featured in the film Napoleon Dynamite. Heck of a film.

I was trying to browse the BBV from my Samsung Jet last night and it struggled last night to keep up whether I was logged in or not. My fault for getting a $hite phone I know.

I am curious to see if you guys are going to introduce a mobile/pda optimized version of the site or a skin indeed. Is it in the pipeline?

I dunno, was never a Shins fan so I might have approached it with a different mindset to others. The song above is pretty boss whatever way you look at it though.

Argh Scotland.

Anyone able to tell me what's wrong with these mp3 players? They look amazing for the general price of about £20, but surely there's some catch:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-16GB-MP3-M...item27af25ae0e

They look like a really bad knock off, get one so

Meteor do the most annoying adds, the fkcing cranky tea lady moaning about the office lads cleaning up after themselves is just pure muck, wtf. I'd empty the bledin kettle over that hag


Back today in the 270 event, trying to catch the last hour of the golf now as Quiros tries to putt himself out of contention.


great group for Ireland, somebody up there taking pity at last.

Best of luck today Mr Solkstired.

Yup, the lads i'm going with are all looking to get these. I'm not so sure.

Should be great though.

There is an iphone optimised skin, so that might work? I haven't done anything with it though xcept install it as it comes and haven't tried it out. There is a 'mobile' skin as well, but it is fairly rubbish I believe.

Alos, to Hitchhikers... RTE Player has an international versin now where you can watch only the RTE produced content (as opposed to lots of things to watch from inside ireland) and that includes the late late.

Some more Sunday music, this is so good. Although there is one awful part a minute in but thankfully it only lasts 15 seconds

There are a lot of reasons against putting you on ignore - good solid reasons. But I really want to sometimes!

Good to see a half of rugby which wasn't a giant kicking contest.

I won a points tourney on Party to the monthly Million $670, do they give you tournament dollars like Stars or whats the story??

Try and unreg and see what happens!

[LuckyLloyd]

France have handled Scotland extremely well. I expect them to put on a few points between now and the final whistle. Going to be a huge ask over there next week - particularly when they will be champing at the bit to stuff us after last year.

[CHDad]

Drogba > Torres

That is all.

Play it, softest tourny around. Handy $1k+

[Percy007]

Yeah decided to play it, I hope you are right!!

[The_Chopper]

Arsenal playing there usual frustrating to watch game today.............

[CHDad]

GL. It is a good tourny and full of donks, bide your time get into the money then ship it. Easy. You will be rich tonight.

Absolute joke. France should have had well over 30 points only for foolish errors. Cost me a bet. Hope Ireland stuff the frogs next week.

[RasTa]

C'mon Arsenal ffs..... batter them!

[CHDad]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Swivel on that Fergie

[Hectorjelly]

Good game, Chelsea were a little lucky but deserved to win. I thought it was refereed very well.

[6starpool]

Hopefully arsenal can make it 3 in a row on Weds, but I have a horrible feeling they might try to unload on Liverpool.

[RasTa]

Someone add this to the cousins

[Sledgejammer]

Drogba really was the difference today, as if he knew people were debating his relative merits on the BBV...

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

...

[MegaSin]

Watched the first two shows of this last night and it is excellent. Really good characters and the female spy (Lana Kane afair) is waaayyy to hot for an animated character. Given the humour its no surprise that it is being shown in the us right after "always sunny in phil". Definitely going to stick with it. Only about 21 mins per show, so no harm in giving it a spin. Ole has it deposited with cousins for anyone interested.

Agent Lana Kane on the right! :::

You have a link for this show?

This is from the people who made frisky dingo.

[lee_arama]

Pissed myself after episode 5 alright. Loving it. Going back through Frisky Dingo and Harvey Birdman after it.

Drogba did what any striker worth his salt would do. Scored from 2 yards and 6 yards. He was nothing special.

Nice bit of pure pain in the Se 120 game-drooler limps one of the co,other competent limps aswell I make it 650 on the button with the qjski.

The flop cometh 9 10 2 with two clubs. Spittle face mashed his hand to indicate a check. I bet just under the pot. He calls.

Turn comes a jack completing the flush so we now have toppest pair,an up and down straight draw but no flush draw. Dude checks again. We have the best hand here for sure.
I bet the full pot. He finally puts his whole tank in and makes the call.

For a brief moment I think Ugh maybe we dead here after all but I come to my senses quickly when he reveals the 4h 4s no club. Very nice hand Sir.

Irrelevant-poker rewards this genius instantly popping up the 4d on the river. Any old 4-there are two of them in the deck after all.

Yes please.

[Percy007]

Maybe if you dont run set into over set twice in the first hour and then find qq no good against aj............. I run goooooooood

He can get the Elite model for £449 on sale atm since it's the 09 model http://www.evanscycles.com/products/...-bike-ec016918

10 model is much dearer

Work out how much you'll save here

http://www.evanscycles.com/ride2work/savings-calculator

I've been out of the house since 12:00.

Again, I must emphasise that you first need to decide the frame size you need before making the buying decision.

The Specialized Sirrus bike linked above for 449 pounds is an Extra Small size. Obviously all the other sizes of the 2009 model have been sold and they are left with a size that would probably suit someone about 5' 0" tall (guessing here). If its very cheap it is for a reason. They can't sell it because it is a very small size.

The same goes for the other bargain priced Carrera. It was for someone about 5' 2" tall (guessing).

I have a Specialized Sirrus Elite from 2005 and they are good bikes, just not suitable for long distances imo because the flat bar keeps you in a sit-up-and-beg position that puts strain on the wrists .... you can't have different hand positions to relieve the aching.

I have four bikes. The first was the flat-bar bike. The last three are all drop-bar (racer) bikes. Go figure.

have the all ireland talent show on the background god are the people bad,

the last fella some bloke from navan in his 40's he is hilarious
