[oleras]

No idea as I'm not an expert on Canadian law. It would be a thoroughly pointless show here though for all sorts of evidential reasons.

Have you seen any of the episodes of Traffic Blues on RTE ?

QQ, why dont they show the faces of people who have been convicted like they do on UK and US shows ?

If you have not seen it, for example. Someone is caught drunk driving and they take them to the staaion etc, at the end they give an update, the driver got 2 years off the road. They have been proved guilty in a court so its public knowledge, show the face ?

I'm going to guess that because they were only arrested/taken in for questioning at the time of filming, regardless of the outcome, they can't identify them?

Any footage of them after a conviction is ok but the tv shows have feck all interest in following it up to the lengths of going to film them leaving court or similar.

I'm quite confident in my assumptions here, just awaiting Kayroo to blow me out of the water,

Anyone here an SQL pro? Would it take me long to reach proficiency learning it myself?

I can understand your argument but, its the same story with say Cops in the US and Traffic Cops in the UK, if they have been found guilty they show the face at the time of the offence, i kinda use it while watching to know who is guilty and who is not while watching.

One of my fav show is Cops tbh, love it, have done for a long time, its even my ring tone....lol

wouldnt call meself a pro but fairly handy
It depends what you want to do
reports
analysis
SSIS
development
DBA


if you have a good logical mind, most of the routine stuff can be learned quite easily. Table a joins table b where and why?
When you start getting into data types and functions it can become a bit more fiddly

[Emmet]

I'm fairly sure that most places would only need me being able to create reports and analysis.

Any free online get-started sites/videos you've any idea about?

Tennis star travels to wrong town

Bojana Jovanovski was nearly forced to forfeit a match because she had travelled to the wrong town, 900 miles (1,500 kilometres) away from the venue of a tournament.

The 19-year-old was supposed to be playing a tournament in Carlsbad, California but incorrectly flew to Carlsbad in New Mexico instead.
After competing in Washington last week, Jovanovski took a flight to Dallas, changing for a flight to Alberquerque before finally catching a connecting flight to Carlsbad.
Jovanovski said tournament transport organisers had realised her mistake when she phoned to enquire where her car was after 15 minutes in a nearly empty arrivals lounge.

"They said they were at the airport and looking for me," the world number 53 said. "I said I was the only person there."

The official then asked: "Are you in Carlsbad in California or in New Mexico?"
After spending the night in the New Mexico town, Jovanovski managed to catch a flight the next morning to the correct destination the next morning, arriving just 30 minutes before the start of her clash.

But although she won the first set, the Serb eventually lost 3-6 6-4 6-1 to Italy's Roberta Vinci.

I seen this on another site....


Sky: May we ask why you are wishing to cancel your Sky subscription?
Me: Because from next season you will be employing the services of Gary Neville.
Sky: Are you serious?
Me: Yep.
Sky: Let me get this right, you are wanting to cancel your Sky subscription because of Gary Neville.
Me: Well i suppose you could throw into the mix the whole immoral standards that that Rupert Murdoch has set within his organisations... i could go into detail about a couple of newspapers relating to Hillsborough and the phone hacking scandal if you have a spare couple of hours.
Sky: I see. Is there anything we can do to change mind in cancelling.
Me: Well if you're prepared to upgrade my Sky+ box and subscription to HD at no additional cost and replace Gary Neville with someone say..... Robbie Fowler, i may consider staying with you.
Sky: Ahh.... you're a Liverpool supporter, it makes sense now. I'm sorry we cannot offer you the subscription upgrade to HD at no additional cost and i can't promise you we will replace Gary Neville. But i can offer you a free upgrade on on your Sky box and give you discount to your subscription for 3 months.
Me: Cancellation it is then.
Sky: I have to ask the question once more, do you wish to cancel your Sky subscription.
Me: Yes.
Sky: Ok, that is all done for you. Your service will terminate at the end of August.

Andy is your man afaik.
Depends on whether you want to be able to do some basic stuff and be able to claim a level of proficiency in interviews without lying - a few weeks with the right materials. Or if you want to kill it you'll need to spend some time learning the fundamentals and underpinnings and then be working at it for a year or three.

From the play I've seen so far everyone is playing for stacks early doors and doesnt give a toss. Fold was odd in that hand alright unless she has a weird Kx for house. Only real reason am watchin it is for Liv on feature table

Finished grind tonight ~11:15pm and cycled down to local to see if I could grab 4 cans takeout. Barman said no dice with that shit anymore up till 10pm. So sat in and had a couple of cheeky pints. Don't normally drink alone at a bar. Just something that has never sat well with me. I guess I feel more comfortable with my alcoholic tendencies when I can call it "social drinking". Thankfully a lot of my friends are "social drinkers" too so I'm sorted.

Anyway, was sitting at the bar wth 4 of the flies and had a laugh at the conversations they were having. Was thinking I reckon I'd make a damn good bar fly. Thought more about it and decided feck it, I'll stick with this poker lark. There was one of those poker deluxe machines there though. Who know's, I might have an edge.

I like stories. Should prob have put a spoiler at the top saying "the following does not end with me falling down a staircase or anything else of interest". Carry on.

[ghostface]

Co-com on the EPT for the whole series has been brilliant. Also, keep the ramblings coming 72

Bar flies can go from the tedious to the sublime in the blink of an eye. Did a favour for one of the local bar owners today by covering for a few hours and got told by one that everyone in australia is terrible at poker because during his time there he played 2 home games and 1 game in a casino and managed to make a profit.

I smiled politely and told him about some of the local games

So I think I am over all this 3D stuff I haven't seen a movie since Avatar where it really has been that good, some ok but some just don't even bother.

Went to see Captain America tonight but had to catch the 3D show as the 2D ones stopped before 8, was a decent movie enjoyable but nothing out of this world would say to anybody thinking about going to see it just go and see the 2D version.

Avartar ruined 3d(in a good way).

The bar has been set. Who's going to step up.

The critics will bitch and moan but Avatar 3d was quie beautiful. I suspect it'll be a long time until we'll have a cinematictec experience that will raise the bar to the extent that that movie did.

[ghostface]

Up and Toy Story 3 were excellent use of 3d but as far as proper films are concerned it ain't really worth it. Avatar 3d effects cloaked a terrible terrible film, imagine if it had a script and decent storyline to go with it!

[BobSloane]

was he his cousin? does it matter?

Think Strewel was probably referring to George Mitchell aka the Penguin - one of the biggest drug dealers in Ireland in the 90s and Gays cousin. (afaik this is fairly well known and I assumed was the reason Enda looked sad when he won the nomination)

Has not been the same guy all season. The guy tonight is Joe Stapleton, from the big game, very good and very witty but most of the season was William Reynolds, equally as good imo

[Semibluff]

Watched The Guard in 3d this week,

Few steps too far me thinks!

Hilariously funny though!!

[tylerdurden94]

Because us wimmin just can't understand complex films like Inception

SatNav would probably be one of the last people in the world that I would watch Inception with not because she is a woman but because she is insane and can't keep quiet or stay still for more than a minute

Have a few female friends that are into movies and would have no probs going with them but you have to pick and choose your movies carefully thou.

Anyone here an SQL pro? Would it take me long to reach proficiency learning it myself?

If it's something you are looking to just do it for the sake or doing it then don't bother as it won't generally have any practical need but if you are looking to do it for some kind of job think DeadParrot/AndyFB would be the dude's to chat to.

Think I have said it before but went to see A Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D a good while back and it was excellent and I think that is what got me back on the buzz but the last few 3D movies I think had a total of about 3 things jump out at you from the screen.

I think when you watch a 3D movie it reduces the brightness by 20% or something like that and for one or two screens for Captain America I took the glasses off for a minute and it looked much better.

Fucking hollywood executive idiots!

[BobSloane]

It is an utterly retarded rule.

It is an utterly retarded sport with mickey mouse rules that are never enforced evenly. Although the square ball rule is retarded at least it only frustrates maybe once in a game. The grey area of what is a legal tackle/what is overcarrying occurs every minute of every match. Picking the ball of the ground? Yeah that rule really benefits the game and can be enforced fairly throughout a match
Fucking bullshit game and yes I played it until I got sense in my late teens and turned to drink and drugs

I think you're missing the point of the movie somewhat.

Avatar was a wonderful movie to watch for the first time in 3d.

The plot and storylines may have been shite but it really wasn't about that.


I took my eldest lad to see transformers3 last week. All the reviews here pointed to a poor plot and holes in the story which were right to a lol worthy degree.

I enjoyed it as my little fella did.
Robots turned into cars/planes/trucks and tried to beat the shit out of eachother. I wasn't expecting a complicated storyline.

Toy story3 is an excellent movie but Avatar raised the bar regarding visual effects and it's going to take a huge effort to beat it.

It really was breathtaking for me the first ime I saw it.

[tylerdurden94]

This be pretty cool, the special effects used in the making of the show, if you haven't seen Game of Thrones or are only a bit into it then don't watch this.

[Sledgejammer]

Coraline had better use of 3D than avatar imo, but I'm making a specific effort to never see another movie in 3D. It's utterly pointless more often then not, just an excuse to make even more money, if we all just stop going they'll have to stop producing them...

I think you're missing the point of movies in general somewhat
What I mean is, I don't see how a film is never "about the plot"

I think we all agree that is was visually stunning. It showcased the jump technology has made. But Avatar existed in "Pandora", an imaginary places were the laws of the real world don't apply. This obviously helped make the scenes nice and pretty. But I don't like the fact that it used this to mask the shite writing.
The fact that it was over 10 years in the making, means that should of had a solid script to do the visuals justice.

I know most great stories exist in the real world, gritty tales of money, crimes, sex and drugs in a dark city. But there are plenty that break the mode and produce a fantasy epic, Avatar should of been one of them, it wasn't.
