It's not the laptop. I'm running at 1920 x 1080 resolution and the smallest writing. It's only HEM i have a problem with

Have you tried just holding down Ctrl and using the Right scroll thingy on the mouse pad. It might fix it??

[Ste05]

I did a quick guess at the top 3 before I clicked, got 1 and 2 right, had what ended up at no.4 as my no.3. Stunned by whats at no.5 on that list and very surprised at no.9 too, never thought it would be so high.

Yeah I couldn't believe #5 and I also thought #9 wouldn't have done so well, I was also surprised #12 wasn't higher!

[Bubbleking]

how accurate is HEM at calculating the amount of rake paid?

[Starvin Marvin]

Bread should have a bb date of 4 days from when you buy it, the stuff that got delivered fresh this morning will have 30/07 on it.
Your loaf was Saturdays and has been sitting on the shelf for 48 hours.

Yeah i know, bought it at 2am last night cause i was hungry, doesnt mean it should be mouldy today though.

Use your loaf next time.

EDIT: this is older then Moses but still fresh.

whats ur dpi size?

Cheers managed to sort it. While looking for the DPI size, i found an option to create a custom size and made it smaller and it looks good now. Everything else is tiny tho!

I see that Silks Casino is now busto

HH's specify the amount, so I would say 100%

That's a pretty tame dose of the munchies, you need to branch out!

[CHDad]

Same as eating in a good restaurant on a Monday lunchtime. The head chef will be off after working the weekend, and the sous-chefs main aim is to get rid of the stuff they didn't sell over the weekend and is starting to smell a bit dodgy.

Everytime Veg soup is soup of the day it is because there is alot of veg about to go off.

Tasty

the amount showing in HM is 2x that shown in my RB account for Total rake - is this normal?

24 hour Tesco while making life easier is still not perfect.

Like you can't go between ten pm and 11-30pm as they have the self-service check-outs closed and you have to queue like an animal and be served by some gormless seriously depressed dude. Then from about 11-30 -1am, it's a bit messy with all the delivery stuff and guys stacking the shelfs blocking the aisles. Around 1am seems to be the optimum time for 24 hour shopping.

Although I'm open to new suggestions on the best time, but please don't suggest the day, as that obviously involves getting up, and also having to mix with people.

lol this is all so true.

Hate it when i go over and the self service is closed and one checkout open with 20 people waiting at it, load of gee.

The stuff blocking the aisles is always the way it is in my one, mess of a place.

Interesting time theory by you, going to give that a shot and see how it goes.

Going during the day is defo a ridic suggestion. The getting up/mixing with people combo is hugely -ev.

I was supposed to be involved in a real interesting project this week.

If any of ye remember this businessman who pulled of the 200,000 betting coup.

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/8364200000-betting-coup-a-dry-run-says-winner-2232539.html

I got a call from them 2 weeks ago through a friend they were pulling the same coup again during the Galway races.

There was a small dry run planned for dinner time today €20-40 bet basically to see who was able to place the bet correctly and on time. I guess if you were up to there standard then you were picked for the big bet.

This would be a double on 2 horses later on in the week. I was promised €500 euro for placing the bet if it came in.

Its obviously been pulled since im posting this for whatever reason.

[Bubbleking]

what you mean your RB account?

an account that should be giving me 50% RB but with this set up Im only getting 25%

So what your sayin is if it hadn't been pulled you wouldn't have tipped off the fellow degens in the BBV? i reckon you deserve a ban for that (you can still pm though )

Best time to shop at 24 tesco is about 6am. All new stuff out and no obstacles. Optimal day is tuesday.

I can't imagine many people being in tesco between 1am till say 6am???

email your skin direct and they will give you an exact figure

[BrianByrne]

My brother got a screen off ebay for £8 and proceeding to fck his phone up trying to change it himself, so good luck if you go down that road!

dunno how he managed this, i got a screen off ebay, followed a simple tutorial on youtube and was sorted within 10 mins, no problems.

No they wont trust me

Yeah serious WTF? Can't believe you wouldn't have tipped us off!

[Bubbleking]

No they wont trust me

so Im screwed basically either way?

[Mike]

No they wont trust me

anytime i asked i got the figure

[big_iain]

Why tuesday?

As shopping habits change, Sunday has become another busy day in the shopping week. Staff are only catching up on Monday night. Tuesday = Wider selection and better choice.

Plus who the fuck is gonna be shopping in the middle of the night on a tuesday. Even the stoners will be at college the next day.

The whole shop to yourself. nice

Wouldnt have had the chance. Basically it works like everyone in this gets a text told to go to bookies for a certain time. Then text are they there. Then a text saying what bet to place. Essentially you would have 5 minutes to write your slip out and place it at lets say 1.20.

It was essentially to avoid people giving info out.

The key to the bet is getting the bet on at high odds.

I was really debating how much id lump on this as i hate gambling on horses but surely this would have been to good to turn down.

it would take like 20 seconds to post it on here, poor form tipp...
come on Ste - i reckon you should hand out a bannin here for the day - very poor form

[Emmet]

HEM sometimes understates the Total rake in my experience.

Your total rake hasn't shown yet as the "day" for your RB ends at 23:59, so hands played after don't count. Also, it usually takes a day to catchup.

[Ace]

maybe you get 25% now and the rest later on

[Opr]

I never really understood the stance on the old forum in regards to rakeback. Any chance we could get a rakeback forum here to discuss it more openly ?

In any case could someone PM me the best ipoker RB options please. I have never played on ipoker before so any site is fine.

[Zuroph]

I was thinking that it would be extremely difficult to do alright.

Funny thing is Ive fucked the Phone against the wall a few times after a close betting loss or something causing no damages and it only fell out of my pocket there from 2 feet on a soft carpet and cracks!

Just ordered a new digitizer for my 5800 last night, i'll make an attempt at replacing it, its easy enough. I've done it on two previous phones no hassle. clean workspace, and patience, and its fine, and saves you a fortune.

Yeah HJ and DannyDiamond (I think) have a bet on whether he'll leave pool, doesnt matter to who.

He'd be genuinely mad not to leave.

Only 3 clubs he can go to.

City - Mad to go there

Chelsea - I don't think we will splash out, We play one striker and he is better

Barca - Broke after splashing cash (They aren't buying anything though like those fools in Madrid, more than a club and all that )

I reckon he is staying and this is just one of those days when BS is spread and the snowball effect takes place

I was told today that the money is offered from City but he would prefer to go to Chelsea.

If the latter does happen it will be interesting to see how "welcome" Broughton will be at the club given he is a lifelong Chelsea fan.

Drogba is 32. Torres 26.

Meh, PaddyPower suspended betting, they love to do this. Free advertising

Skybet have it at 1/3 yet A.Cole to Madrid is 1/7 and that deal isn't even close yet if it does happen.

Still think Torres will stay put

So So true it's scarey. Avoid carvery lunches on a monday in any hotel IMO

Braised Beef
Shepards pie
Chicken and mushroom pie
Breaded Bacon Chops
chicken curry

that was our carvery menu today

Monday is orders day and no fresh delivery until tuesday so monday is always make what you can from whats left after the weekend

The rule was to stop the place becoming a spam hole with every John, Joe and Mich who has an affiliate deal going mad posting their crap, hence we have the use sigs rule. I'm sure we could have a RB request thread in the online section where people can post to request RB offers by PM.

I think he will stay but i just wish he came out and said it instead of leaving us with no time to find a replacement like that cnut Owen did, if of course he decides to go.

[BrianByrne]

Right so that hit and run accident i was in a couple of weeks ago, i have agreed to a settlement of 6.5K.

Do you really need a car? Honestly?

I'd just save it all up and go travelling or something. A car is usually a complete waste of money. That said, if you are hell bent on buying one then its a buyers market and any car you do see that interests you, lowball the shit outta them.

I dont really "need" one, but ive been breaking my back in travel expenses to and from work each day and tbh starting to reallllly hate public transport!

On the other hand im looking to move into an apartment in dublin soon so really im unsure, but id like to keep my options open and see whats out there and what i can realisticly afford.

[Denny Crane]

gotta be a bit of irony in buying a car from the settlement from a car crash imo

[Theresa]

Ok but:

A car isnt neccessarily a cheaper form of travel. Specially in city limits where your in low gears high revs a fair bit. Plus the cost of setting yourself up to drive be it insurance, tax, parking, the actual vehicle and then other maintainence issues means, if you actually live somewhere reasonably close to work and in an area with good PT like you do, its really not going to be cost effective.
