Random question.

Haven't watched any of 'Love Hate' yet. Is it best to watch from the first series or the second? Mainly asking as it's the second series that has gotten all the kudos, though that may be because the first one was well, the first one.

The Moses Bridge, as its name suggests, is pedestrian bridge that creates the illusion of walking through water — in this case, the West-Brabant waterline near Fort de Roovere in the Netherlands.

Designed by RO & AD Architects, the bridge was built using Accoya wood, a type of modified wood that offers the enhanced durability necessary to sustain a sunken bridge.

I don't get this why would anybody start on a 2nd season of something when obviously the first season sets up everything? Crazy yo!

To answer your question thou watch it from the very start as for the 2nd season getting all the kudos I don't really remember anything to do with the first ie people talking about it or when it aired just seen a load of folk here talking about it when the new one came out and thats what peaked my interest.

[ComradeCollie]

Since I never heard anything about the first series I suspected it may have been made on a shoestring budget, and would not be worth watching.

Thanks Danny and Michelle. That's why I asked

[KK82]

I haven't seen the second season yet, but watched the first one this week and really enjoyed it.. It's only four episodes anyway. Was refreshing to see a new Irish drama with different actors from the usual Irish stuff with Mary from Glenroe and Bella from Fair City featuring.

Its pretty decent to be fair without doubt a lot better than what I was expecting, couple of little niggly things annoyed me about it like the music and stuff they were trying to be "hip" but it just didn't work.

If you were to watch Season 2 first you would be pretty lost in parts, enjoy it.

Gives me an excuse to post the nut IMDb pic of Aidan Gillen

Anyone travelled by Amtrak in the states? Travelling back to Dallas in 3 weeks and have the second week free, considered maybe the train to Chicago or to LA

I went Toronto to NY on it. I personally preferred the Bus as it had wifi. I guess if the train had wifi it is a bit more comfortable but the wifi wins it for me everytime.

yeah she met him in tesco and rang me to tell me, I got off the phone and he walked into the pub where I was having my lunch with my mother, and my mother went over to him and made a show of me saying that I loved the show and loved him and could she take a pic!

Came home then and showed chanel, she called me a sap

chanel,

Permanently confused about this name. Love the name 'Mia', can be cute for a child, and also sexy for an adult. Where did you ever get the name 'Chanel' from?

MSN wants her to be a pipe fitter when she grows up (pipe fitter puns do not need to be investigated )

Chanel \ch(a)-nel\ as a girl's name is pronounced sha-NELL. It is of Old French origin, and the meaning of Chanel is "pipe". From a French occupational name and surname for pipe fitters and manufacturers. Contemporary usage may be due to the influence of the legendary fashion designer Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel (1883-1971), and a number of famous perfumes. Also the name of a 14th-century French missionary saint.

When I was pregnant , I was watching MTV and there was a girl being interviewed and her name was Chanel, and I loved it! All her friends call her Nell

not sure if i mentioned before or not but I also worked with a chap in Thurles he would be around 55 ish now comes from a very traditional Irish family, they all play the fiddle, bahrain , whistle etc in a pub once a week. His name is also Chanel!

Anyone got experience flying to Vegas via Chicago (or more specifically the return leg coming from Vegas to Dublin)

The most readily available and cheapest journey leaves Vegas at 12.35 and gets in Chicago at 18.15 but you need to be on the 18.55 flight to Dublin.

Surely 40 minutes is too little time for the connecting flight incase there's any delays or complications? Is the arrival and departure areas/check-in doable in 40 mins?

The first time i flew to Vegas i missed the connecting flight and spend 6 hours in the airport waiting for the next one and my luggage arrived 24 hours after i did, so don't want to through that again!

Anytime I flew home from Dallas i would have to change terminal, which involves going outside across the bridge and on the metro and then security again. Dont think you wouls have the time tbh tony

Yeah that's what i was thinking. I've done stop-overs to Vegas twice and each time involved getting a train/metro so i just can't see how they can over a 40 minute connecting flight because i wouldn't risk it. Need to look at the extra long change over time which is more expensive and doesn't suit timewise. Not as easy to find as you would think!

[Icarus152]

I think both songs I posted are written by Waits.The guy doing the covers is a friend of his and his Dad,John Hammond Snr had a pretty interesting career as a producer.

Spirit airlines have some great deals at the moment like flights for 40 dollars. I know they fly Vegas to dallas but not sure what other cities they serve, might get lucky

I flew Vegas to New York via Chicago with Southwest.

Chicago is liable to storms maybe once every 5 days, once you avoid one of these you should be fine. We weren't so lucky, the pilot said "we're currently circling Chicago waiting for a break in the weather and have enough fuel to do so for 10 minutes before we have to divert". An hour later we were still up there...

That was Chi-Midway so not sure how relevant my little anecdote is.

Tony, RE. Vegas trip, have you gone into a travel agent yet ? Find one, sit down with them for 30mins, tell them what you require. this is what they specialise in after all, you may even be surprised with the prices.

I find after the 32nd site checking flight times and prices it all becomes a rather large blur.

[Flushdraw]

They normally charge €60 for that?

Allegedly! Presume the beers are about €6 so that means €24 a ticket. Never been so no idea if they are telling porkies or not!

Haven't been to a travel agent yet and didn't really think i would be going as i assumed it would be cheaper doing it online than live but i think we'll look at it. Having looked around over the last week, it still seems that Expedia still overs the best deals. Quite fancy staying in the Vdara this time around and Expedia have a week package for 2 for €1800 which is quite good imo considering Circus Circus is €1550 and Exclaibur is €1600 for the same time
