someone recommended a place that does a test for your feet to see what type of running shoes you should wear, can someone remind me of the place?

Trust me, don't!

We had this same discussion a month or so ago and I've reignited my addiction to it, and am now playing FM 2010 again.

[RoadSweeper]

Na I wont play it.

Maybe set up a IPB league and I would.

I remember Daniel Braathen was the business in one of them but not sure which.

Assuming you mean in Dublin and not Argentina then there are numerous places. I got a gait analysis done in Elverys on Suffolk Street at the bottom of Grafton Street last week.

They mustn't be on commission like in a shoe shop because after I got it done and asked for appropriate running shoes and confirmed that I didn't care about the price I ended up with a pair that cost 50% less than the most expensive because she assured me I didn't need the most expensive ones for only beginning jogging and not needing the most strongest of support for my overpronating feet.

so now you are going to be sitting in the living room wearing those stupid glasses

The new technology doesn't require the glasses. It's called autostereoscopy (as opposed to polar-stereoscopy in cineams today). The obvious thing is to wait for this to become widespread and affordable.

Umn not really, It's more Nokia taking the piss out of Apple for the IPhone.

Just to explain this for people who haven't heard, the iphone 4, just released, has a issue when you hold it a certain way in your left hand, basically the signal drops as your hand interferes with the internal antenna

[BrianByrne]

i remember this, i was just about to get on the table to deal..you needed to think positive! you were practically calling for the Queen to come out! unlucky man.

Does anyone have a link for the relevant pieces of legislation regarding 'Private Member Clubs' in Ireland? I've tried looking online but I cant find what it is I am looking for.

And the official apple response to this problem from Steve Jobs was "well, don't hold it that way then".

6 tickets in the end with 3 20 euro tickets into wednesdays rebuy Satelite

If you hada seen the way I was running you would of known why I knew the Queen was on her way. Woulda been nice to get a little bit of luck but meh thats poker.

BBC reports: Roy Hodgson poised to become new Liverpool manager

He is 1.09 on betfair.

Roy Hodgson is set to be appointed Liverpool's new manager by Thursday, BBC Sport understands.

The Reds were granted permission to speak to the 62-year-old two weeks ago by his current club Fulham.

Hodgson has also been linked with the England manager's job following the team's humiliating exit from the World Cup but Liverpool have acted quickly.

The Englishman will replace Rafael Benitez in the Anfield hot seat after the Spaniard left at the start of June.

"Hodgson has always been the number one target of the board at Anfield to replace Benitez," said Ian Dennis, Radio 5 live's senior football reporter.

"After Fulham granted Liverpool permission to speak to Hodgson, it was just a matter of the clubs agreeing a compensation deal for him."

Hodgson has been in charge of Fulham since December 2007 and signed a new 12-month rolling contract in December 2009.

Although he suffered a difficult start to his tenure, winning only nine points from his first 13 league matches, he saved the club from relegation in 2007/8, securing survival on the final day of the campaign.

The following season he steered the club to seventh place in the Premier League - their highest ever finish - and a place in the Europa League.

His achievement in guiding Fulham to the final of that competition, when they beat Juventus and Wolfsburg en route, saw him named last season's manager of the year by the League Manager's Association.

Hodgson has also managed Italian giants Inter Milan, Blackburn and Switzerland, who he guided to the last 16 of the 1994 World Cup.

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill, former Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini, ex-Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink, Croatia coach Slaven Bilic and former Manchester City manager Mark Hughes have all been linked with the Liverpool post.

Not sure how to feel really.

I am not overjoyed at the prospect but given the situation he looks the best we could have hoped to have got. I mean I presume he will be only be given a one year contract until new owners are found ? It is only six weeks till the season begins so we need to get someone in soon.

Question for all-knowing BBV:

I have mobile broadband with Three and I'm about to move to a new area outside the towwne (Dundalk speak) where the reception is pants.

Have checked for a booster solution and have found the crowd below, my options are these: www.antennashop.ie/three/huawei_e180.html

Can anyone guide me as to whether these things actually work, or are they a bit of a gimmick?
If they can improve things, which of the options should I go for?

Download a bit each month, obv want to be able to play the pokers without disruption, read IPB (of course) and watch various sports streams. Don't really bother watching TV so would be lost out in the sticks without good broadband.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Fulham might be getting worried about their manager . He promised he'd stay though.[/QUOTE]

Well it was obvious weeks ago.
Good to see Keano totally agreeing with me on England, I did predict they wouldn't go beyond the last 16 due to the mediocre players they have, and made some bobs from it. (shuda pushed Danny on the prop bet)
Now if Spain win they pay for my trip to California this Sept. (come on) you'll forgive me no doubt if I shout against your teams. Also a little double with Nadal and Spain (hope his injury stays off)
Is there any team in the world who could stick Fabregas on the bench? And maybe even Torres tonight.

Will be playing I hope the voodoo PLO game on Friday if anyone is going in see ye there.

WW game looks good but I won't have much internetty time in the next while.
See ye in a cupla weeks bbv. (hopefully a bit richer)

i have a vodafone dongle which is pretty good during the day but at night between 6-10 it is crap, still good enough to play the pokers on but don't try to download anything with it in the night. it has to do with the amt of demand for the signal so obviously at peak times it will decrease
another thing to remember is you have a pretty meager download limit compared to fixed broadband and once you exceed this they will screw you.

tbh if it says that you need an aerial to attach to your other reciever then its an admission of fail in itself imo.

Ah get a grip, Benitez is quality but gone, Liverpool aint going to be smart and get Hitzfield or someone like that so big Roy will do a job. I would take him in a milisecond, although im sure Coventry will wave at liverpool on there way down as Mcsheffery fires us back to the promised land.

He comes from Coventry and he is better than Henry, McSheffery ohhhhhhhhhh McSheffery ohhhhhhhhh.

On a serious note would Liverpool fans be happy with any fulham players coming with him, Hangeland? Zamora?. From point of view of general Knowledge if Euroupean teams Hodgson is very close to top and he may discover few gems for Liverpool.

This is what happens when mathematicians overly complicate a simple problem by getting bogged down in irrelevant pieces of information.

The statement "one of whom is a son born on a Tuesday" is a piece of information relating to the first component and has nothing to do with the unknown component i.e. the solution to the problem

Hows about that bald-headed Chester lad who plays in the Fulham midfield, Murphy I think his surname is.
