Get in Suarez, one more please!

[Lord Sir Banter]

Viva Suarez!
gollllllllllllllllll

[6starpool]

That Suarez lad is pretty handy. I hope Liverpool sign him up

[eagle eye]

Laid off the over 2.5, making a profit for sure on the match bet and a nicer one of there is another goal.

[dannydiamond]

I <3 Luis.

[6starpool]

I <3 Luis.

Hopefully he doesn't have cause to leave in the next year or two.

[Mellor]

You should look at getting the one that is Wi-Fi enabled.

If its wifi enabled, is it just a case of transfering wirelessly as long as both are connected to a router?


I don't have Wifi, and prob won't for some time though - broadband infastructure is terrible in Oz, virtually non-existant in domestic market. Only option is a 3g block with a built-in wifi transmitter

[The Situation]

I'd imagine Suarez will miss the first few games of the new season as he'll prob get a bit of a break after this tourney. If he doesnt he'll be running on empty from the get go.

on the off chance some of ye aren't dim foul mouthed oafs

radio humour from the black&white days

Hancock's Half Hour

http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/9rnlw/

starts 3 mins in
bit of quality

[CHDad]

beef = cow moo
pork scratching = pig oink
think scratching might be made from the skin so full of fat

beef jerkey is usally lean cut depending on quality

try billtong southafrican game meat could be zebra could be a widlerbeest
or a poor thompsons gazelle

^^ Stupid cunt

Not sure if it's been covered but Modric was Spurs' captain in his first appearance of pre season..very strange line by 'Arry imo

Nothing story

[Mellor]

I have seen that in tesco and often wondered what it was like, is it some kind of dried out beef or what?

bet its full of fat is it?

I remember eating a packet of pork scratchings years ago in the UK, im presuming they are kind of similar.

It's actually really healthy- very little fat (not that fat's a bad thing). It's dried beef, so most of the fat is dried off.

As sickpuppy said, billtong is similar and very nice.
Although anything you buy outside S.A. is not game meat but regular old beef.

Mercury nominations out. Surprisingly populist this year:

Aside from the Elbow album (which is very good), I haven't listened to a single album off that list. I might have heard an Adele tune in the background on the radio at some point I guess if she's as successful as the blurb above suggests - but all of it is a blank to me.

Now, I like my music - is that a reflection on the list or me being out of touch?

Adele seems to have gone super nova over night - Her tunes are good and she has an amazing voice but can't help feel it's a little bit of her being hyped by the British media. Meh, call me an Irish begrudger, she's good but not amaze balls the way some people go on

On the other albums, I've got a few of them, obviously Elbow which is a great album and also have PJ Harvey's & Everything Everything - I adore PJ Harvey, woman is just class and I really like Everything Everything, you'd probably know Photoshop Handsome (below), very good tune

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6udfNIzRUX0

I've heard some stuff from Anna Calvi and James Blake (both of which I like) but haven't got around to picking up either of their albums yet (Yes, I still buy CD's )

I've heard some stuff from Tinie also but not too pushed on his stuff to be honest, haven't heard anything from any of the others but that will change soon!

TLDR - Meh, you're a little out of touch but not quite the 'aul lad sitting in the corner shaking his walking stick at the kids for playing their wireless's too loud

Slight contradiction?

[Percy007]

His Ajax team-mates always said he was the first to get back after International aways, always eager, and remember he was on a 2 month "break" without any football just before he joined Liverpool.

Hey I'll happily admit I'm a music snob. But I'm definitely no hipster!

[Lazare]

Watched 'I love you Philip Morris' last night. What a wonderful movie, I seemed to go through every possible emotion watching it, hilarity, tragedy, happiness and sadness all packed in there. The ending was fantastic. Nice surprise to discover it's a true story too. Crazy bastard!!

[LuckyLloyd]

Just looking back at some past winners now - I wouldn't recognise a Klaxons or Speech Debelle song, and a lot of the nominees I don't recognise either. Plus The XX album was decent, but good enough to win?

It seems I listen to very little new UK music.

[Zod]

passport office took 95 quid off me today, now to start the counter on how long it will take them to send me my passport.

Tesco took a ton for groceries, but this was after I had checked my balance and thought they had already taken the amount out.

I'm now down to 13 quid until the end of the month. Financial management FTW.


Also, nuckchorris is the nut luckbox. I ship 9.5 BB's after a limper into his small blind from the cut off with AQc He calls to put 80% of his stack on the line with AJ off and binks a 3 outer.
More importantly, if that had held I'd be in a nice position to get to the final table and a chance to take down a €1200 last longest jackpot.

Mods, Please rename his account to Donkeyfish McLuckbox-Badcall.

Song seems appropriate

[Strewelpeter]

There will be a family funeral I'll have to attend over the next couple of days of a lovely woman who I was always very fond of. Need a bit of run good now for them to arrange the funeral for Friday and not Saturday or else Waterford will be off the agenda. I'd already more or less dodged two other bullets that were threatening to stop me playing.

[Keane]

Any word from Hitch? you have his number don't you Keane? Hope all is ok with him and the missus.

This reminded me that he was missing and I started to get worried.

hey welcome back missed your rearrival!

This was a relief.

failing getting a cheap fix for this i will be looking for new laptop, something cheap and cheerfull for downloading playing a bit of the pokers and general arsing around.
so where is the best place to get a good deal, budget is fairly limited (€500ish) on this and i would be hoping for something along these lines
requirements:
17" screen
bluetooth
wireless
4gigs of ram
7in1 card reader
cd rewriter
decent storage
dual core or something fairly fast anyway
i allready have a full version of windows 7 so a pretty basic operating system would do me

You're in luck Dr. Ball:

The King Cresote album is class, won't win obv but its in a different class to anything else I've heard from the list.

Personally would not ever order off Ibood again, they are a nightmare to deal with should anything go wrong.

[ionapaul]

Sold out already! Looked like a GREAT deal tho...

[Zod]

If you like PJ Harvey her new album is very good indeed.

[Keane]

That's a shame, looked a proper bargain alright...

[Strewelpeter]

Oh yea, that is great too but she might win.

[Angry-Ball]

Theres me delighted when my WSOP stream doesnt pause to reload for more than a minute



anyway its...... DOWNLOAD .28 UPLOAD .1 and PING 138

its tilting that im paying the same as some people for my pa-fucking-thetic connection
its grand for poker like tahts about it though

this is obviously dial up, ffs a dongle would be better than that

This reminded me that he was missing and I started to get worried.



This was a relief.

as soon as i signed up to that stupid site it sold out

Is Adele not too established for the mercury prize, I thought it was for new artists?

Either way she is the nuts imo unbelievable voice.

cross post from Le tour thread

For all you Cycling fans, Stage 17 today should be very interesting today. Andy Schleck suffered yesterday and Contador must now be seriously worried about Evans
Frank Schleck looks ready to take off from what I can see. I think he is worth a bet to win today's stage. (maybe overall) I can't get the odds just now but I reckon Contador will try to make a break and Frank will go with him. The Yellow Jersey could change hands, if Frank gets it he may prove hard to dislodge as Andy will then focus on Frank winning the Tour. Frank is 18 to 1 plus to win the Tour due to the renewed form of Contador plus Evans showing so far. Surely that is worth a bet.

Post a bit all over the place as I'm multitasking here but ya gets my drift. I could be way wrong of course but the odds baby are too good to turn down.

Don't know too much about tour de France but from what I read the schlecks are meant to be really cautious/poor on these descent heavy stages? Heard them moaning yesterday about them being fatally dangerous

I threw it up on Off The Ball's facebook as well.

I'd imagine Matt Cooper would be a better bet than Foley for discussing ONOD

OD got his hotmail account hacked last year and in turn full tilt agreed to ship "urgent monies" to a russian withdrawal facility and he got done out of some money.

The hack came from when Boards.ie was hacked. He had same sign up email address, and unfortunately password to them two accounts.
As he didnt post much he dint think of it.

This may put him off posting, but im pretty sure as soon as he's home he'll have an account set up (if he doesnt already) thanking everyone for the support!!
(he thanked everyone in facebook statuses already, he's really really appreciating it all!! )

Foreign guy, facing a river bet, says raises as he pushes out a call amount.
"Oh noes, I meantz to sez callz, zee. I no speka da engerlish"

Thomas Kremsers being the good TD that he is, is forced to rule that the guy has to make a min raise, but also decides to tell the other guy that foreigner is full of shit and he did the same thing twice earlier with the nuts.
The guy calls anyway (wtf??) and angle shooter shows the nuts.

[Zod]

that's terrible. Almost BK levels of unrepentant angleshooting.
