theres 50c and 25c turbos not regulars. I preferred the turbo 45s at the lower buy ins as it was quicker to get rid of the weaker players and quicker to get to the blind stealing stage etc.

Was considering starting to exercise next week for the first time since I was a youth.

I tripped over earlier and landed on my hand/wrist which is now sprained/strained somewhat, probably a sign that I shouldn't bother with exercise.

so far today Iv heard;

positive energy
I just have a feeling
keeping my nerve
Iv always had big numbers so this has to be a big number
thats a really good offer far better than I thought Id get so obv no deal
Iv seen so many strange things with 7, 4 and 2 its a sign


really are the dregs - compulsory viewing though

typical drooler on giving it socks - I have a feeling yada yada

deals at 22k with 8 boxes left including 100k and 250k because his wife/gfriend makes him

takes out 3 small boxes and gets offer 42k and starts to well up with tears

left with 2 boxes 100k and 750 and it is revealed he had 100k the whole time

Noel doing the usual rub down for added effect

cue the tears as the end credits roll - beautiful stuff

Just reminded me of Judge Judy absolutely pwning someone earlier.

Judge Judy asked a defendant about something specific...

Person: I feel that...
Judge Judy cuts her off angrily: I'm not interested in your feelings, if you want to talk about your feelings you should have gone on Dr Phil.

Spot the odd one out AMIRITE?

It's Jedward because they are heros and the only saving grace in this country for the last few years.

[KevIRL]

John Mullane withdrew from the Waterford squad - kev will have details of the midnight vigil

He'll be back before the end of the league, the wife is on shiftwork for a bit, so with 2 kids he doesnt have the time. With that and a few niggling injuries it the sensible move.

This gave me a good chuckle, after all the talk of the NFL and football this is the cold realism of the GAA.

Mullane confirms on RTE Radio Sport tonight that he'll be back training with the panel after Paddy's day. Citing the phenomenal committment needed these days and hows he's struggling with holding down a full time job, the wife as well and bringing up 2 young kids.

Didnt sound like he'll have many more years in the tank though

@ Raoul Duke: Kurdistan, Palestine, Tibet...

Haiti is a god forsaken part of the world. No hope, no chance, no future. As the Economist detailed recently, living in North Korea over the past 60 years seems to have been an utterly hellish experience.

Africa is a menagerie of despair, but I would argue that a country like Nigeria that has had vast natural resources at its disposal and still produced horrendous living standards for the average citizen is in its own league of awful.

The likes of Iran and China are developed and progressive in an economic sense but rank very low in the freedom stakes.

Bad 100 years to be Polish (particularly if were of the Jewish persuasion).

Called bank, told them I had been made redundant but had managed to secure a new job. Explained that I had proof of decent redundancy payment coming in 3 months time, but needed to buy a car now to travel to new job, and thus not miss any mortgage payments etc. They turned loan app down. Idiots. Now I'm considering missing a mortgage payment or two out of spite

[nicnicnic]

Really wanted to send that to people, but realised only here could get the humour!

Yeah probably better not, was bbv post only, I wouldn't put it on twitter myself.

You don't officially go into arrears in most banks until you miss 3 payments. Check beforehand though if you plan to do this.

Does you redundancy payment go straight into your bank account or is it a cheque?
Tbh you need a temporary overdraft rather than a loan, that way you have no repayments to pay for the 3 months, it's the ethical facility.
If your payment is paid in by BACS or whatever & you can prove it, it's pretty lousy by the bank not to give you some sort of temporary facility.
What bank are you with? It might be an idea to take your proof to another bank to see if they're more reasonable.

If possible, imo it would be better not to miss any mortgage payments, as it'll affect you more than the bank. Should you go to them in the next few years to look for extra borrowing for home improvements etc it'll almost be a guaranteed no.

Jedward pin new Eurovision hopes on Westlife's songwriter


Swede Nick Jarl has written tracks for the last four albums by the million- selling Irish boyband and now he has contributed a new song 'Waterline' for the twins.

However, it will be his first time in Eurovision if the Lucan twins make it to the competition this year.

To do so they must beat songs from five rivals on a 'Late Late Show' Eurosong special scheduled for February 24.

But Jedward's mentor Linda Martin said she had great hopes for 'Waterline', which gets its first play on Derek Mooney's RTE Radio 1 show on Thursday.

"Waterline is a fantastic European pop song. Nick uses the word waterline as a metaphor for falling in love, and this will be his first time in Eurovision, if we make it," said Ms Martin.

"Nothing is a given. Jedward and I know that we are up against five good songs from five great singers. It's a five-horse race," she told the Irish Independent.

There was controversy last year when Jedward's entry 'Lipstick' was leaked on to the internet.

However, this year RTE has announced that none of the five songs will be announced until their first airplay on RTE Radio this week.

The other mentors and acts include TV producer Bill Hughes, who mentors former Irish entrant Donna McCaul.

Also in the mix are musician and producer Greg French with singer Andrew Mann; former B*witched member Edele Barrett with Maria McCool; and agent Julian Benson with singing duo Una Gibney and David Shannon.

As in 2011 the winner will be selected by a public tele-vote and a series of regional juries.

The act chosen as Ireland's Eurovision entry for 2012 will once again have to compete in a semi-final on either May 22 or May 24, in the hope of making the grand final on May 26 in Azerbaijan.

Without having heard the song, there is a good chance it will be pretty catchy.
I think they have a good chance if they are put through.

Pity no one offers decent Eurovision odds at this stage of the game.

Has to have been drink involved, still I can imagine the seriousness of the conversation at the time. Both of them backing up their choice with ridiculous statements of how healthy their man is.

If it is true, Marty is running bad, would have taken his side of that bet easily.

Pretty poor taste, but chopping up the 50 people on the deathlist would provide a serious year long sweat.

In the past 11 years they've gotten between 7-14 correct each year.

Edit: Or pick random cunts on death row. Anyone offering odds on a stay of execution?

Seems there are some stays.

I have been reading about Swaziland and their HIV rate which threatens the long term survival of the country. It's amazing how quickly you can go from being sympathetic to the huge numbers with it and the devastation it is causing to just being indignant with the stupidity of the population and culture.

From:

In Swaziland, a small landlocked country in Southern Africa, one in four adults are living with HIV. Since the first cases of AIDS were reported in the country in 1986, the virus has spread at an alarming rate and now Swaziland has the highest HIV prevalence in the world.1 Women have been particularly affected by the epidemic; among those aged 15-49 HIV prevalence is 31 percent among women, compared to 20 percent among men.2

AIDS has devastated the country. Orphans and vulnerable children account for an estimated 15 percent of the total population3 and in 2009 around 7,000 adults and children died from AIDS.4 The impact of Swaziland's epidemic has been so severe that life expectancy is just 49 years - one of the lowest in the world.5

The long-term survival of Swaziland as a country will be seriously threatened if the spread of HIV is not halted.6

To:

Stigma associated with HIV and AIDS in Swaziland prevents many Swazis from being tested for HIV or declaring their HIV status if they are positive. The government estimates that only 16 percent of people aged 15-49 years old have been tested for the virus and know their results.24 Swazi traditional opinion links AIDS with sexual promiscuity, and often causes HIV positive people to be rejected by their families.25 It is believed that many people in the country do not want to know their HIV status, and those who do know will often keep it a secret, some even from their sexual partners.

In spite of their good supply in Swaziland, the use of condoms remains controversial and unpopular. In the 2006/7 Swaziland Demographic and Health Survey around half of sexually active respondents aged 15-49 admitted to engaging in non-regular sex without using condoms.

"Men in Swaziland do not use condoms. They are distributed all over, but they are not used."Hannie Dlamini, AIDS activist and health motivator.

Although the government has encouraged condom use, some influential community leaders have undermined the government's message. Hannie Dlamini once stated that "condoms don't stop AIDS" and only "faithfulness and abstinence stop AIDS". Religious and traditional leaders have also described condoms as “unSwazi”.

This was brought about considering Raoul's historical nations of fcukedness thing.

[Mellor]

Edit: Or pick random cunts on death row. Anyone offering odds on a stay of execution?

Seems there are some stays.

Look at the third on the list, no stay yet, due for the chop nest wednesday.

Now look at my pick in the last post

I'll go with $20 on Robert Waterhouse

So far there have been 8 stays, and 2 executions in 2012.
4/1 is a fair price. I'll take 7/2 as i'm in a good mood

[Mellor]

you could be right!

Very cool interview Danny, well played.


So now we've got to the point where Ian Paisly is dead and a fk load of people in Swaziland are dying of aids and the forum as a whole is ambivalent.
