Originally posted by hotspur View PostI made an appointment for a reiki session yesterday.
To the very best of my knowledge it's a load of b*llocks. But two friends (both psychotherapy people who aren't droolers) had it in the past year and enjoyed it. And the woman I rent a therapy room from offers it.
Has anyone had it done? Now reading about it there are obviously many aspects of it which are indisputably utterly retarded - like level 2 reiki training teaches you how to do it remotely i.e. send healing energy to someone in another place. Lol.
But the central treatment seems to be some manner of putting hands on different parts of your body for an hour. I can conceive how this might be beneficial in the context of a relaxing setting and relaxing music.
Actually, out of interest, and without it being followed up with an avalanche of evidence based analysis what alternative or complimentary type treatments have people had in the past and what was their experience of them like? Not a great population to be asking, but I would like to know.

Originally posted by Sledgejammer View PostThat there's too many people with too much influence, money and incentive against it for it to continue, do you not think so? Sharing technology will improve but only so much and surely the technology to prevent it will also improve significantly. I also think if the industry adjusts to the current market better than it has done then the desire for it will reduce significantly (though not entirely obviously). Like I said with Netflix, I think that's a start and it certainly has me using the cousins less fwiw.
Also surely the form of the technology should delimit what can be done about it to a great extent. Nobody can really stop a friend of mine from lending me a DVD. As cloud computing expands to be the norm of file storage will it not become the equivalent of having to check every pub to make sure people are lending dvd's to their friends?
Notwithstanding the hyperbole that the entertainment industries engage in about the size of the lost revenues I am doubtful that they will be willing to commit the amount of time and money necessary to police the issue. And their attempts to have it policed by others such as Internet providers doesn't seem to be going too well as they are being told to GTFO for a variety of reasons, including legal.
But what do I know? I have spent many hours trying to figure out a good way to stream liveonlinefooty to a TV for my father and have pretty much given up. It all seems too complicated. His own fault for not even having a TV with a fcuking HDMI input so I could buy him an AppleTV2 and jailbreak it.
Actually fcuk it, I'll just buy him a new TV and ATV.

Would second Marbella. Went for a day last summer when in Malaga the day Ireland played Russia in the 0-0. I didnt want to go initially because the name reminds me of the Mirror and The Sun so theres a bit of a Chavy ring to it but was glad i went. Once there i really enjoyed it. The best bars with the best food are the dark ones without the parasols and tourist lures. You know your in the right place when the have the gamon hanging from the ceiling!.
Option to hire a car and take a day trip to mountain towns like Mijas(Great Bull ring) or Ronda, car hire for the week is just over €100 so your as well hiring a car even if its just for getting from/to the airport because of the taxi fare Careca mentions. Wifi in all the beach side bars so you can slip in for a half to get the bets on through their wifi!.Last edited by rounders123; 20-01-12, 19:24.

This morning, as I finish my shower and turned around to step out of the bath, I heard a huge crack followed by a gigantic smashing sound.
the inner pane of the skylight in the bathroom cracked and fell out, falling past and smashing less than a foot from my head.
fun times.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

Watching Connacht / Harlequins got me thinking.
I'm guessing that HT/FT betting in rugby is like soccer with the odds being formulaically derived from the outright match odds.
So is there an edge in weather conditions like tonight where the wind is going to influence the game far more than in top flight soccer?
So if Connacht HT/Harlequins FT is initially set at a 'fair price' then from the moment the coin is tossed and its known Connacht are playing with the hurricane first half is there much of a window to get on before the odds are changed to reflect this?

I think Emmet may have posted this before, or maybe just the acapella part.
This is just the most beautiful art imo, you've really got to watch it all. The reaction of the group of tourists is fascinating, it's like they're intimidated, confused almost. It's like they can't recognise the beauty in front of them.....
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

example, you're back from Coppers with a bird who fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Walk? Yes, you got her home
Talk? Yes, you tell her you've had a bottle of wine
Fuck? No, see "Talk" above
example 2
Same as above except you're at the girlfriend's house for a late dinner and the hot younger sister makes a pass at you while your bird fell asleep:
Walk? Absolutlely, running to her bedroom is easy also.
Talk? Say nothing
Fuck? QEDLast edited by 40something; 21-01-12, 00:01.One of these days I am either going to quit poker or learn how to play the damn game

@Shrap: Your pep talk on the 'wonders' of children at the beers cushioned the impact somewhat. Opened my eyes to the fact the some effort might be involved and by God there is. Currently at the 'how does anyone do this more than once' phase.
