Great weekend. Finsihed work just after 1am on Friday. Rather than going home, i ventured into the Fitz for a few hours. Left +€800 and went home to see Fringe was queued up. Fringe was just brilliant, i have no idea where we are going next but have a feeling that DRJ expected this outcome.

The rugby was great with Ulster and Leinster both winning despite being under the cosh for large parts of each game. How does Ferris keep going? The guys an animal. I'm still hoping Leinster thrash them in the final. Clermont fans seem awesome, their team will be stronger for this loss. Leinster need to sort out the fucking lineout!! I never seen Straus throw that badly before. Leinster got lucky with the referee not seeing Cullen/Darcy incidents, but throroughly deserved the victory.

I get to trian with Dean Lister and Shanon Gugerty this week, which is my excuse for having a calorific refeed at the weekend.

Isn't there a socerrball game on tonight??

Been watching highlights now of most of the matches for last couple of months. It still has a bit to go to get interesting tho. Dallas and Thunder is a huge 1st round game, the beating Miami gave the Knicks the other night was embarrassing.

Must go watch the clippers game now

I have loot on Dallas and LAC since the start of the season. Got them at silly prices so decided to put a few quid on. Don't think either have much of a hope though.

A couple of months ago we booked a trip to Serbia for after the exams (leaving 12th May). The reason being that one of the lads had a house over there and it was cheap as chips so we were just going on the session for the week. The only downside is that it was a quiet coastal down and we would probably be the only ones there....

Fast forward to a couple of days ago and this has been announced for the place we are staying when we are there

basically its a blowout for all the Serbian healthcare students (docs, nurses dentists etc) at the end of their exams

who's turn is it to mod the next game? i may do the next one but would probably want to do an anon/alt account game...

Possibly the 3rd level thing is throwing them? Maybe explain that its not a savings account but a current account for college students and explain to them that the transactions are both debit and credit as you'd see with any 'transactional' account.

JAMES McCLEAN is set to make the Republic of Ireland’s squad for the European Championships, Giovanni Trapattoni has revealed, but at the expense of a more established squad member who has apparently told the Italian he will not be able to make the journey.

The Ireland manager refused to name the player or provide details of his difficulty, insisting that he could not say anything until next week, but the tone of his comments suggested that the issue is a personal one rather than one of fitness.

The Dalai Lama on tilt control:

The practice of patience guards us against losing our presence of mind. It enables us to remain undisturbed, even when the situation is really difficult. It gives us a certain amount of inner peace, which allows us some self-control, so that we can choose to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner, rather than being driven by our disturbing emotions.

Podolski on his way to Arsenal

Lukas Podolski
Soccer: Germany striker Lukas Podolski will join Arsenal for the start of next season, his current club Cologne have confirmed. The 26-year-old, who has 95 caps for the national team, will move to the Emirates for an undisclosed fee after both clubs and the player reached agreement over the deal.

Podolski told www.fc-koeln.de: “The move to Arsenal provides a great opportunity for me to gain experience in international competitions at a top European club.”

Podolski, who started his career at Cologne before rejoining them in 2009 after an unhappy three-year spell at Bayern Munich, added on the club’s official website: “I have made this decision not against Cologne but for this great opportunity and the good of my own individual development.

“This was not an easy decision for me at all, as Cologne, our fans and the city are something special for me. I will always carry Cologne in my heart. We need to pool our strengths now and have to be fully focused on our survival in the Bundesliga.”

The Poland-born forward, who had one year left on his contract with the Bundesliga strugglers, has scored 18 league goals for a side battling relegation so far this term, his best ever top-flight return.

Plenty of us gooners here ... This a positive to keep RVP?

no

[careca]

hmm - the gay PowerPoint priest:

(a) destroyed USB with slides before it could be examined

(b) had laptop 'stolen'


was thinking it was just a straightforward gay thing and kinda funny, but seems to be going to a lot of effort to cover something up

Heard about (a), didn't hear about (b). I felt for him at first but if b is true then def more to it. Cops should haul him in and go through every detail of the 'robbery'. Then ring him every couple of days and say "We think we got your laptop back, would you mind dropping down to the station to see if its yours", just to inconvenience him.

Shinners aren't landing a punch just the usual confused ramblings that really amount to arguments for the treaty. I mean it is a fairly dumb thing to be putting in a constitution but that's a different problem.
