Car people. Why is this so cheap?

that's about right for an 12 y/o banger

ha, oops. Not very good with the UK license plates, somehow thought it was 2005. Esplains a lot.

hmm, this weighing up options lark is no craic

It does seems a bit cheap tbh...I sensed danger when I read: "Steering wheel rake adjustment"

Did the 2000 Seat Leon in big letters not give it away

[Strewelpeter]

The average Google search uses the equivalent of turning on a 100W light bulb for 10 seconds in energy. That's a lot!

That figure is a matter of some debate. Could be the result bit of bad thinking along the lines of the total power Google uses in a day / number of searches in a day. Very unlikely to be a straightforward use of that much energy per search IMO.
What do our resident physicists think?

Edit Shit! you are our resident physicist!

It's a simple calculation of their data centre power consumption and global search volume. Obviously not rigorous, but a nice little soundbite in any case.

no

Pick me a decent one out of this bunch please.

I like black, small hatchbacks. But willing to completely ignore that preference.

I'm just trying to price up the cost of the next year of my life depending on where I work!

[Strewelpeter]

NAMA in action

not quite Eliot Spitzer

Sounds like they were looking for the 80 back went looking at what was left and found that there was only 10 liquid remaining so they said ok we will take that.
Didn't make any difference because she's saying GTFO to handing over the 10 anyway. I'm sure then they get to court they will be looking for the full 80 and will end up getting just the property

what are you Kerry lads being so girly about?

Kerry beat Dublin 8/9 times out of ten over the last 35 years. You should be overwhelmingly confident.

This is the biggest week of the year for us.

Sunday is like Christmas Day, and you're using your one-time hoping to get a voucher for a 24 hour coke and hookers party instead of a lump of coal.

I'm just starting to feel the physical illness of All Ireland week building. Not having a ticket is making it much worse obv.

Can honestly see a classic coming Sunday with Kerry, alas, running out 2-3 point winners

[The Situation]

It really does mean that much more to Kerry doesn't it! Whenever I'm down there every man and their dog have an opinion on the football, it's nearly all they talk about during the summer I'm sure there's equally passionate Dubs but nowhere near the percentage in the Kingdom.

Keep hounding everyone you know right up to the last minute. As of today very few people actually have a ticket in their hands so obv everyone is panicking. There will be tickets back its just a case of getting lucky. Tipp will prob get about 2/3000 tickets for the minors and I can't see them using them all. It will be too expensive for some people. Others will get one ticket when they need two and will decide not to travel. Some twat might lose the loots on Fri night in the Fitz and decide to sell his tickets instead (actually there's a thought ). Basically don't give up hope, I always find if you want one bad enough (and I know you do) then you'll get one.

really? I'm not much of a Golf man, unless it's a MK2, but that's not happening soon!

What do people (with more experience/knowledge than I) think of Mazdas? There's some beast Mazda6s available at decent prices. Insurance would be a bit higher but definitely workable withable.

Anyone want to play drunken low stakes poker on pokerstars? I'll play any game

Oh Oh. The SatNav effect has happened to him..

And this was posted on FB

Michelle Gavigan
Made it through to Friday with a healthy stack. Happy out. ))

The HJ Poker effect has started here!

letter just came in house insurance is up, got a quote for €358, im with FBD, anyone know of anyone cheaper?

Is that for both buildings and house & Contents or separate?

[flushjee]

Hey folks,

Only started using Holdem manager, so a bit of a newb when it comes to setting up the HUD. Can someone direct me to where I can get good HUD configs for SNG's and Tourneys on stars? Or does anyone here have one I can use?

Cheers

I genuinely still get depressed somewhat regularly (as in probably a couple of times a year) about the losses in 2002 and 2008, which should both have been routine wins but for tactical idiocy from our management.

2005 is a little easier to forget about, because we were well beaten, but those other two I'll still be lamenting in 40 years' time.

+1, make sure you're hanging around Jurys Sunday afternoon and you'll have a good shot.

Send me on your number if you want, I'm usually in company with people through whose hands a lot of tickets would pass the day of the game, if I can lay hands on one I'll fire you a text.

Apple have a similar power consumption issue if I remember correctly.

well that's all I've driven before. I'm fairly open to new experiences though, and I think that they're pretty decent looking cars anyway!

Also, is the BrucePoker game not going to have a MASSIVE overlay? Would have imagined that Monday and Thursday would have been the big number days, and that Tues and Weds will have low turnouts. With less than 100 Buyins yesterday, are they going to be 8/10k off the gt?

Hey there is a Pokertracker thread open in the Tourny forum, i know it's not Holdem Manager but doke talks through the stats he use's in his Hud, these are easliey added into the hud so even if you dont find the right one, you can fiddle around with it and get all the stats u want

QQ
where is Fitzwilliam street from the Fitz?

is The Fitz on it or is it around the corner from the Fitz?
thanks.

the fitz is on upper fitzwillam st and there is a lower fitzwillam street aswell, but when i checked it on the my GPS Tracking it is telling me there is a fitzwilliam st @ the end of Brdige road which is @ the south end of Pearse st

[Kayroo]

I thought you had one for yourself?

I have one for myself but I have been going to the games with my best mate for over 15 years. Even if we are not sat together the idea of going to the game without him is just beyond me in some respects. If anything I'd almost feel better if we both were without tickets as at least then we'd be in the same boat.

Yeah I just wouldn't have that same emotional level of interest in GAA, I'd prob be a little annoyed for a few hours if Dublin lose but that's about it.

Wheras with soccer I still have mental scars thinking about games from years ago. I don't think there'll ever be a day where I won't be tilted thinking about the 05 champions league final and Milan's ridiculous collapse in the second half. Irelands 02 world cup exit another painful one. Don't know why losses stick in the mind more vividly than great wins.

They are advertising and overlay alert on the videos Big Iain is doing for them and that was only for the recap of Day 1a.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2oggYHxb5I

I am guesstimating a €10k overlay. Thursday will add €20k to the Prizepool if there is a sniff of a decent overlay.

That reminds me I was suppoesed to do some interview yoke with Iain but left in amazement after my bust out hand. Seriously shocking standard, well worth a trip out for at least 1 buy-in

[ArmaniJeans]

UEFA now told by a swiss court to reinstate FC Sion. Even though Sion broke UEFA's rules, and Clubs are not allowed to go to Court by UEFA rules.


This is a farce.

I think its a unique situtation because UEFA are based in Switzerland and Sion are also.
So within reason UEFA can ignore what a UK or German or EU court says, and a Swiss court may not grant jurisdiction to a protest by a Scottish club or a French club etc.
But in this case a Swiss court would consider themselves to have binding power over a dispute between two Swiss companies (Sion and UEFA) and wouldn't accept UEFAs 'clubs arent allowed go to court' rule.
Deeply frustating for Celtic obviously.

All this is very much 'the man in the pub' legal knowledge, I may be completely wrong.

I'll be surprised if there is much of an overlay, Thursday night will be hectic

I was intending to give it a spin but I can't play Friday night so there is no point.

You're pretty much bang on. Only swiss clubs have this avenue of appeal. They already lost in the Cours of Sporting Arbitration, and took this action as a last ditch effort.

The appeal hearing is over, and we'll know the answer at 2pm.

It's a simple calculation of their data centre power consumption and global search volume. Obviously not rigorous, but a nice little soundbite in any case.

Are you sure? That seems unreal high? I know data centres are very high power consumption wise and your search request probably goes through a few datacentres, but google must perfrom billions of searches everyday. Then again maybe turning on a bulb for 10s doesn't use that much power either!

Is it just me or is there alot of interesting matches tonight for the first game of the CL group stages? It's a pity Barca-Meelan is made so much less interesting by the fact that it's not all that important given the other teams in the group but still, some quality games today and tomorrow.

Maybe not the worst thing considering his iffy CL record, but would have been fun after his comments about Guardiola.

City Napoli is potentially the best game of the first week IMO. That whole group is just full of great attacking teams, best group since United Barca and Bayern were in the same group back in 1999.

Hey michelle how did you get on in Maynooth were u playing last night?

[Strewelpeter]

All Day 1's capped at 200 atm but I would that will change if there is a sizable overlay looming.

If they got 200 on any night it could spin up close to 30K, more realistic would be a total approaching 20K coming in on Thursday, they got 10K last night. The less they get on the next two nights the more chance they have of getting a crowd looking to grab a share of the overlay on Thursday.
I suppose its going to be close enough, I hope they make it its great to see some new ideas to build a good pot, they deserve to do well.

id imagine they will get around 70 ish tonight and tomorrow night, I reckon thursday will be mental which for their sake I really hope it is.

Ado, eddie and foxy really deserve for this to be a success, Id say its gonna be a mad weekend, the hotel is fantastic too.

I dont know how there is not more playing for the sake of 100 quid, it really is easy to get through to friday the standard is shockingly bad.

I would say come saturday /sunday quite a few will probably regret not playing this!
