You should definitely hire a bike and cycle round the city (if possible do a cycling tour with a guide). All the sights are pretty spread out and there's loads of squares dotted round the city which act as focal points. The city's nice and flat so the cycling is dead handy and the German roads couldn't be more cycle-friendly. Definitely get in a guided tour at some stage because the amount of history in the city is ridic and cycling round without a guide you really miss out on a lot.
In terms of nightlife, I was in a few decent bars on Oranienburgerstrasse and the swanky expensive bars are up near Potsdamerplatz. A few friends of friends live over there so they were able to get a few of us into clubs on the second night but a lot of the clubs don't like letting in non-German speakers or non-regulars, as we found out on the first night when we had to abandon our club plans and head to bars instead. Find out which clubs are tourist-friendly before heading out (Tresur was a good spot for tourists to go supposedly, although I didn't go myself so don't blame me if it's shite).

Originally posted by Bubbleking View PostJust back from the match - just wow. First of all I didnt see any attacks on the referee or stewards but I was going crazy at the time so Im not surprised I missed it.
Pure rollercoaster of emotion - It was hard to make out the scramble in the goal mouth at the end because we were so far away. We were desperate for someone to put the ball over the bar. Then its in the net and the hill erupts.
Next thing the referee is going in to talk to the umpire and the hill goes so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The time between the Ref going in to talk to the umpire and the awarding of the goal seemed like the longest 10 seconds of my life. Iv really found a new meaning to the term - the sweetest desperation in the world
AT the end of the day we robbed Louth - Im disgusted some of their supporters did that. But louth are known for it in fairness
So proud of how louth played today. Alot of very good club mates and friends on the team. They played their hearts out and didnt get over awed by the occasion. Shame not to put the game out of site with the many missed chances. The players and everyone involved have alot to be proud of.
Think the referee was very much in the wrong. Took a rash decision and in his haste to look authoritative he makes this decision without atleast taking the opinion of his two umpires who obviously were in a better position than he was.
Finally, what the supporters did to the ref was 100% out of order. Itll take the focus off what was and should be the only talking point of the game. Under no circumstances should it ever be acceptable to act like that no matter how hard done by a team is. In fairness to peter fitspatrick he tried to chase away the neanderthals also.
Gutted is the only word that springs to mind, wish i had been there - and feel rightfully proud of the guys on the pitch.

However I was wrong to tar all Louth people with the same brush - I know players involved in the set up too and they are 100% sound
sorry for the comments

[QUOTE=Semibluff;113957]dont condone what the fans did in the slightest
you have two umpires there. neither flagged the goal. yet you go talk to only 1 umpire for 5 seconds and give the goal!???
After watching the whole thing again,i think its fair to say the ref (and umpires) performed appalingly there. total injustice

In my experience (Navan 2002 and the O byrne cup final this year there was similar scenes of attacking players)

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakhe is around so long. I remember Waterford playing Offaly in an U21 final many moons ago and Tony Browne and Brian Whelahan were the stars of the show.
have to say that was an awful game, both teams are pretty useless. I hope I am busy the day of the replay as I dont want to have to watch through another game like that. Based on what we have seen so far there is nothing to worry Kilkenny out there. Maybe Offaly can sneak into an All Ireland final via the back door

I went to see Predators, I thought it was terrible. The first half an hour was pretty good, I reckon a 6 or 7 out of ten, depending on how generous you were feeling,SPOILERbeat: I wanted to bet with my friend the mexican would be the first to die but he hmmmed and hawwed and we never made the bet.
The second half and hour was mediocre, a 4 out of ten at best, but the last third was a trainwreck. 1/10. I got the impression the editing was really bad, I kept gettin the feeling they had missed some of the plot. Mind you that might not be a bad thing, as the plot is so retarded, the less you get to see of its nonsense the better. It was one of those films that relys so heavily on chliches of the genre that they don't even bother fleshing them out, they assume you know the chilche and don't have to bother with the actual fleshing out of the narrative. There are one or two ridiculous plot twists that are so f*cking stupid they actually increase your enjoyment, but unfortunately they are pretty rare.SPOILERFor instance when the doctor decides to turn evil, when the both of them are trapped in a pit about to be killed by a predator. Why do it then? It decreased his chance of survival. It served no purpose whatsoever except for saying "ha ha fooled you stupid audience"
I don't mind suspending my disbelief for a film, but asking you to suspend your logic making facility for 90 minutes is a bit much. There are so many plot holes some of the holes have holes in them. And not in a good way. I know a lot of people don't care about the plot in action films, but even the action scenes are rubbish. Two predators fighting (don't ask) appeared just like you would imagine two drunken rednecks fighting, rolling over each other and seemingly only remembering they had high tech weaponry after a couple of minutes.
Edit: Where did they get all the bloody ammo from!Last edited by Hectorjelly; 11-07-10, 17:11.

Also, GAA is a joke of an organization. The sport is good to watch but it is terribly run."Quitters never win, Winners never quit."

lol, looking at the RTE replayer. It seems the fan wearing the 13 jersey is actually the guy who tries to block Colum Judge from attacking the ref as well.
