Haven't been loving Top Gear as much in the last while but as people have mentioned they did a great piece about Ayrton Senna last night, if you have a few minutes to spare you should have a look at the piece.

But Monday is the day for the chef to walk into the fridge and come up with a good lunch from whatever is there. Sign of a good chef actually if he can make something from nothing .... although todays menu didn't have lot of imagination... but the bacon chops with pepper sauce were a big hit as was the braised steak

Seen a spanner of a hand played in the SE last night, we are on the final table i cant remember if we were 8/9 handed, folded around to the cut off who ships all in for 8800, button wakes up with a hand starts the aul grimace over if they should call or not, button is playing 30k or so eventually folds his hand saying it was a bad fold and he didnt want to say.

So the CO push gets through and he shows 22. Little while later i ask the person so what did you actually fold, i was thinking he folded 55-77, he says you wont believe me "i folded JJ" i was thinking wtf he was deadly serious tried to explain it "yeah but what if the SB or BB wakes up with AK, JJ is a bogey hand etc etc" im just shaking my head in disbelief

If your playing anywhere else give me a shout, same number as before. Oh and its Theresa btw in case you werent sure.

yeah I guess the old tackle on the table takes a while... well if Sickpuppy can lift a player from the seat and body slam him to the floor and still play there I think there is hope for you yet...

have you tried apologising after all this time and see what happens?

Think this would be a good idea there was a thread on the old site that basically had turned into this.

Decided i wanna get a car and go on my parents insurance as named driver, i have no idea where to even start looking so if anyone could point me in the direction of some relativley nice/cheap cars 1.3 engine and below id appreciate it

Any other ideas on how to blow the cash also welcome xD

Ok on the insurance front do both of your parents drive there own car? If so you may be in trouble with that idea.

On the car front check adverts.ie and donedeal. I will say that you really should get someone to come with you when buying the car that has a good idea about cars.

Even buying a car from a garage is dodgy as my gf and me went and bought her a 99 focus from a main dealers in waterford and when we brought it to the mechanics when a small problem occured a week after purchase he was able to show us €1000 + worth of work that was needed on it.

The Garage took the car back and refunded us but it was shocking that a main dealers would let a car out in that condition.

This just shows you how carefull you need to be had this been private we would be stuck with it.

It was some of the weakest poker i have seen anybody play in a long time, like he would of called the allin with AK/AQ but not JJ.

We got down to 4 handed, he had 3/4bb and was limping the sb and folding to my shoves.

So, go to ring my mate Tom Gallagher, and he answers the phone in a jovial chatty fashion. Takes me 90 seconds to realize that I've actually rang danutpeddlar Tom Kitt by mistake.

Of course, Mr. Kitt - gentleman that he is - has just played along and decided to have a bit of a chat. Leaving me terribly confused momentarily.

Brag: BBV's fashion advice got me through the first round of interviews for an internship.

Beat: Next step is to find 5 strangers to interview/pitch to regarding a new social gambling thing, take notes and present my findings to them in a week or two.

Other stuff before is pretty poor in comparison.

He's incredibly talented, I am not into much of the music that he uses as samples, but there is a synergy about the music he makes.

Used 3,000 different samples on the Night Ripper album.

This was written by Bond18 (Tony dunst) in his 10,000 post on 2+2 the other day, i hope it helps you find peace

3. Let the variance go. You can't control it, it's not fair for everyone over their lifetimes, and there isn't **** you can do about it, so shut the **** up with your pointless complaints and focus on things that matter, like your play. Nobody, and I mean ****ing nobody, wants to listen to you bitch about how you run, how you didn't get what you deserved, how this one guy who plays worse than you runs amazing, etc etc etc. This job becomes so much easier when you decide to stop caring about the variance and start caring about the things that you have the power to change.

Fair play to you there HJ. Something always strikes about people who play music, there is some sort of innate camaraderie.

Just there the other day my dad and sister were in the local music shop and one of my dad's mates was there. He did guitar tech and sound engineer for the blizzards and was leaving in a couple of their effects pedals to sell. He found out my sister was playing in a band and promptly gave them to her for free, easily worth a nice bit of dosh but he was perfectly happy to pass them on.

If you get some interest and it would be a help, I'm sure we could hook you up with a private forum for chat that only the members (as well as admins and smods) could view. If you have a different medium in mind, then no sweat.

Dr. Lucien Sanchez is the stone cold nuts!! I just love the character, it's the same actor and character as Douglas (the boss lad) from The I.T. Crowd.

11 second example: (there's no better ones on YT for some reason ???)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozY0E8ETdvU&NR=1

If they made more than six episodes this would be a genuine contender for best comedy of all time. I'd normally throw in some kinda quote that stands out here, but almost every single line is pure comedy genius, every single line...Can't believe they didn't make more. I think it's the kind of show you'll either love or hate, but if you love it you'll really really love it. I keep noticing new things too, even the credits are hilarious

Also I'm in the loving Matt Berry camp. It's his voice and manner, absolutely everything he says is genius and I'm not sure if even he knows why...I'd say it's between him and Moss for best IT Crowd character.
