Sounds like Olympic hero of the day contender. Details please

Actually his team mate maybe a better candidate.
2 Chinese guys, head and shoulders above all else. Their opening lift, at 170kg, in snatch is higher than any lift anyone else even tried. (155 was highest)

2nd lift H Lu goes for 175, a world record but fails. X Lu goes for it and nails it with ease. 1 bit when he squats seemingly for the sake of it. H Lu doesn't take 3rd lift and X is stopped by some bullshit ruling going for 3rd lift.

It soons becomes clear why H didn't take 3rd lift. His wrist is fucked but of course he needs to make a lift in the clean and jerk. He comes out at low weight and nails it like a boss. He can't lift anymore but was so far ahead after the snatch that it's still good enough for silver.
Meanwhile X goes for overall record, fails at 2nd lift. 3rd and final lift he squats, his arse is practically touching the floor for a good 1-2 seconds and somehow makes the lift and gets the record.
Utter dominance.

BBV help needed. We're trying to book a holiday at the moment for about a week. Im looking to go to a place (outside Ireland preferably) where there is lots of stuff to do. I hate going to places to sit in the sun for a week. It'll just be me and the girlfriend so nothing too crazy. A nearby water park, decent night life nice beaches, markets, and other fun activities all a plus. Anybody have any recommendations?

Really appreciate it

Anyone use google music? I have more than the 20k songs allowed so mainly wanted to upload playlists instead. But it's only uploaded part of some of them, and nothing from others. In the manager it says there's no new songs to upload. Is there any workaround?

ah cv talk was looking at an application form for a job applying for today (why I can't just send cv I don't know) and they are looking for 3 references. Given I only have 1 on my CV and can stretch to 2 but both from same work place how bad does it look leaving black space for the 3rd? Last place I worked before most recent job over 7 years ago now is not around anymore

That landing system is the maddest thing ever, its completely autonomous on entry and deployment. Very ambitious the Nasa lads will be planking it on Monday morning.

I wonder what price you'd get on it surviving the entry?

If you want to have a strange experience:

1) Sit through the entire episode of 2 Broke Girls @23:40 on C4 tonight.

2) Spend the 3 minutes or so in the break telling yourself that it is the worst sitcom you have ever seen.

3) Then watch New Girl which is on after it.

4) Marvel at how wrong you were at step 2.

I did this last week. Now I know what Holocaust survivors moaned about.

probably not, sounds right up hotspur's alley

Some users report intense erotic imagery and sensations and utilize the drug in a ritual sexual context

personally, I never take anything I can't spell. Gewurztramminer for example.

Not having that at all. New Girl was a bit slow at the start but I enjoy, pretty funny show.

Anyone watching the boxing there? Not a huge boxing fan but a fair few fights seem to be rigged. Is boxing the most corrupt sport out there?
There was one with a Japanese against Azerbaijani there and the Japanese was losing badly going into last round, but Aze boxer had nothing left for last round, fell to the ground like 5 times, surely he should lose the fight for it?
Then next one aussie 17 yr old vs another aze boxer, level into last round looks like aussie has done just enough to win, but aze gets the decision.
Then that disqualification of iranian in next fight seemed to be shocking.

Not a massive boxing fan so maybe I'm missing something but it all seemed like the officials had bets on or something.

Is this a sting?

No, I want to do DMT. I've wanted to for a while, but it seems quite difficult for various reasons. Was wondering if anyone here had done it.

It popped up on my radar again today as some group in Dublin are showing a documentary on it, this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4T5LduZ9vg

Not having that at all. New Girl was a bit slow at the start but I enjoy, pretty funny show.

You might be right and I experienced some bad variance in the 5-10 mins that I saw of it. But it had no jokes. I will give it a try in 10mins time out of respect for you.

Saw Ted earlier. I was expecting a stupid but funny film, and that's pretty much what I got really.

had a burger in the Shelbourne yesterday and they proudly stated on their menu that it was served on a Waterford Blaa (menu linky, page 3). Was actually a little bit different to a standard bap and not necessarily unpleasant.

Was it stale? If not, probably not a blaa from Waterford.

It'll be on tv3player. Not sure when they go up but it will be there tomorrow at some stage anyway.

Yeah, its pretty accurate, although they are quite 'city boy pc' with the commentary.

I find some of the audience reaction/explanations pretty cringe.

I'd suggest not putting any referees either on your CV or an application form - where there is a space provided for them, just write "To follow" or similar. Company/Employer will then contact you if they are seriously interested in you and you can give names at that stage [advantage to you is that you won't "waste" the goodwill of your referees by receiving too many queries about you].

Re your third person - all referees don't have to be work related, some-one who can speak of your involvement in leisure/charity/voluntary kind of setting is good also, shows you as a more balanced person etc etc....

Would you invest in a fund that trades on superstition? David Wolman has, and in the process he discovers unsettling truths about how we treat and handle money.


Sounds good.

Reminds me of a feature the Sunday Indo used to run in the Business section a few years ago, called "Beat the Monkey" or something - 4 or 5 stock picking 'experts' would pick a portfolio each at the start of the year and the Monkey's selections were picked at random in raffle fashion - measured during and at the end of the year - on more than occasion the random 'raffle' picks came out ahead.

Can somebody who understands computer networking help me.

Somebody it work decided we should have access to the wireless network. She didn't know the password so decided that the best solution was to press the router reset button with a paperclip.
Internet to the office died

I've had a look and have got the router back up and running. The internet connection light flashes and the ISP say they can see it.
But from what I gather, the PCs and such on the network aren't connecting with it.

It's like the router is connected to the server in a different fashion or licatipn as before.
The Internet LAN settings connect through port 8080 if thats relevant
