I'll ignore the incorrect spelling and the crazy bap description and just say of course they are nice. What else would you expect. Bout the only thing Waterford does well.

Don't ignore it and ban this blasphemous chump!

anyone know roughly what the odds on a touchdown in the last 2mins of the superbowl would be?

With Pats Giants playing, both have good quaterbacks capable of going down the field quite quickly, pats secondary is quite poor, giants have the receivers to beat them easily and eli has more game winning drives this year than anyone else. pats have Tom Brady & Gronk, enough said on them. neither team have a running game to rely on so might not be able to grind out the clock as much as they would like to if leading, means that touchdowns will be scored quicker than normal. 5/4 6/4 maybe

Trying to man up after a day spent baby minding. Cooking burgers topped with salami paste topped with chorizo. Couldn't see any other meats to add, but that seems like a good start.

/ on a sidenote, I can't even imagine the amount of money it would take to persuade me to be a full-time parent. Its at least millions, possibly billions. Nothing against how amazing babies are (and obv ours in particular being top of the cute baby list ). But, my God, how are mothers not all driven crazy by the process of child-rearing?

They are dude, some are just better at hiding the crazy..

She would love NY, i would love Vegas...for not much more money you can do 2 nights NY and 4 Vegas, plenty of time to decide yet...lol

If she would love to go to NY, then two nights won't be enough to do it properly. Ditch Vegas and do NY for the full week, it's her B-Day after all!

For me, it's the greatest city in the world, love, love, love it!

I'm probably in a minority but if I was married with kids and my missus wanted to work full time and we could live on her salary, I would jump at the chance to be a full time dad and stay at home with the kids.

Those scores are ridiculous. Never played that version but is every tile a TW or something?

there's 3 rounds, first round has no multiples, second has 2 doubles (letter and word), third has 2 doubles and a triple letter.

The guy absolutely demolished me. 59 words in 120 seconds is pretty impressive.

It's a cool game, like Rush Scrabble.

[ArmaniJeans]

What he tried to do was

SPOILER

talk about half the characters in this book, and then the others in a book 12 months later, but it turned out to be 6 years later. It just doesn't work imo, especially when the timelines of the 2 books overlap. I don't like that.

There is nothing really spoilery about that and I think you mentioned something about it in a post you made the other day anyhow. Hopefully we won't have to wait 6 years for the next book. There are 2 more to go I believe, although considering

SPOILER

there were meant to be 4 books, then 6, and now 7, who really knows.

Fair points, I'm probably relatively lucky coming to the series late and being able to read Book 4 and 5 straight after each other rather than have that annoying wait for a story which was only a

Rolling in his share investment money or else broke is my guess.

I haven't seen him around playing in a while anyhow either.

What happened to Lindegaard? Papers reporting he suffered a horrific injury.

[Mellor]

Quick tech question.

I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop it now that I have a chance.
How much would a SSD cost?
And If I just completely copy the existing drive, (windows, few programs etc) would it work ok. Or would i have to do a full install and build it up bit by bit

If you're getting an accountant to do it all there shouldn't be any need to worry.

Bear in mind though that the more organised the stuff is the cheaper it will be for you. They tend to charge by time so the less organising of stuff they've to do the better.
In saying that, PAYE and rental income shouldn't be too complicated so he shouldn't be charging too much I would hope.

Spent 8 hours organising today.I got the accountant to agree a price in advance,€200 per year plus vat.Sounds reasonable.

If you don't get your tax sorted it will be pronounced slop bucket

Tens of thousands of workers are due a refund for overpaying their PRSI.
The Department of Social Protection has confirmed that €10m has already been paid back to taxpayers, who have received an average refund of €400.
The overcharging is due to the way the health levy element of social insurance was applied in 2010.
Anyone earning less than €26,000 was not liable to pay the levy.
However, if a person earned more than €500 a week the levy was automatically deducted from their pay. This means that they are due money back.
The Department of Social Protection insisted this is not an error and it said the system was set up to deduct PRSI on a weekly basis and workers could later apply to get the money refunded.
However, the refund is not automatic and the Consumers' Association of Ireland is advising people to check their payslips and apply to the Department if they think they are due money back.
It is not yet known how many people may be entitled to claim, but 900,000 people earned below the €26,000 threshold in 2010.
The address for refunds is: Department of Social Protection, PRSI Refunds Section, Oisin House, Pearse Street, Dublin 2.

Not meaning to be nosy but surely that would mean he won't get a refund as he was eligible to pay?? Maybe I've read the article wrong
