will you stick with it this time?

boom boom,

but yes, depending on 2 factors

1. The teaching is consistent
2. My knees hold up.

[Zod]

a kindle is considerably more expensive to replace after you throw it at a wall when an author destroys a series you loved.

[Icarus152]

Bring back the Book Club.

[Wombatman]

Nah not in the slightest, if you don\'t mind downloading then you will never have to buy a book again.

Que?

[DeadParrot]

if you want a console for gaming and all round better experience buy an xbox

if you want an expensive blue ray player buy a ps3

Iv had both and xbox is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS3

this comes up every few months.
as an all rounder games/media player/web streaming/free online play/less heat/quieter etc etc etc get a PS3
otherwise get an xbox

no way broseph - Im very hesitent to get into this debate with you because your the ultimate tech head But

I have my laptop/PC for online streaming
you can load the games onto the console so it runs quieter (250gb HD)
Theres free online play for a reason (its shit with no support and the games get hacked regularly)
All the Downloads/updates get put online for the xbox weeks before the PS3

In this day and age you dont need an all in one media system. If your buying a games console it should be because you want to have a kick ass gaming experience imho

[ghostface]

Not this argument again

QQ:

I'm looking for some case law where digital certificates were used in Ireland if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Bump..

[Strewelpeter]

I prefer free things....

funny enough, I have no problem with movies, music and TV but I draw the line at books. Wierd.

I've turned into the weirdo that I never ever thought I would; Since I siscovered how great reading on the HTC Desire is I am reading all my books on it ... that is books that I've hgone out and bought or been given by someone that I then download a copy of and read off the phone.
My home is already cluttered with books and most of the really good ones are gone because people never give them back. I'm at a loss to explain why I do this.

I'd disagree with all these points with reasons but....

this basically.


and I never even mentioned failure rates

I've had both and it's PS3 for me.

Mother of God. Lederer and Ferguson were paid a combined $127M in the last four years from FTP. DoJ lawyers have branded the whole operation a Ponzi scheme.

I could never understand why sports fans here get so angry when you troll them, but now I get it.

Anyway I'm off to play Gran Turismo against real people for free.

Meh,console pissing contests are probably juvenile alright.

[Zuroph]

wow, that FT report is shocking reading.

[nicnicnic]

hit this guy with a golf ball today - couldn't bring myself to finish him off as Dannydiamond starting crying when I pulled the driver to execute. Couple of crows came in for the kill shortly after but it fought them off - last we seen it had hobbled into a lake and was surrounded by half a dozen ducks.

Anyone tell me what that 54-1 card reader thing you get with the ukipt goody bag is??

It does basically what i says on the tin. Plug it in and you have an extra 4 or so USB ports, somewhere to put your SD, MiniSD etc

And anyways, what the fck is the other thing with the zip and the strappy things on the back? Is it a CD or something because i haven't a clue!

of the beef wellington, as requested by ghostface.

And that's the dish that was cooked, not a euphemism for anything else.

after cooking the beef a bit and adding pate and herbs etc and wrapping it in pastry, it looked like this

When reading this the other night, i just knew i saw that somewhere else. The little fella has one

how is that trolling - its widely accepted that xbox live is better than PSN

for one we didnt get knocked offline for 2 months while cc details were raped

Heads up that Jurassic Park is on general release this Friday in cinemas round the country. Can't bloody wait its one of my all time favourite popcorn films and always wanted to see it in the cinema.

Opr

Recently rewatched the first 3 but the first one is just excellent absolute awesome movie at its time, small bit dated now but Spielberg is a genius.

That's defo on the weird scale for Tony G to dress up like that. Is he gargled?

[KevIRL]

Apparently Utd's line up tonight away to Leeds is

Amos, Valencia, Fryers, Carrick, Fabio, Giggs, Park, Macheda, Diouf, Owen, Berbatov.

Leeds 5/1 surely worth a punt. Seems like a crazy team

Gotta love the epically name Eziekel Fryers though

4 strikers 4 midfielders and 2 defenders
Can't imagine what formation they will play or who will play where. Looking forward to watching.

Forest very big at 2/1 imo

[KevIRL]

Team confirmed. At least we can spring the big guns from the bench if needed

leeds will still be hammered, baaaad bet

united to win both halves at 11/4 gooood bet

[Emmet]

Utd -2 imo.

Could be a great match for a neutral. The Christmas Tree Formation might be in order.

United -1 for me, Leeds play on Friday night coming so i expect them to rest a few. That looks like Carrick at CB ? Front 6 more than enough though.

[CHDad]

Dirty dirty Leeds and dirty dirty United.

Do you think FFL will be resting his fat hole on the bench a lot more this season?

[Wesley Harms]

Nice to see Welbeck back already

[Wesley Harms]

Do you think FFL will be resting his fat hole on the bench a lot more this season?

Did you hear the AVB interview, FFL is finished

[dazzler]

I'd be REALLY worried about Carrick at CB ... any time I''ve seen him play there he gets bullied off the ball way too easily, and he should be good for giving up at least one decent chance.

[Flushdraw]

I like this bet, but no more football bets for me because i just can't pick a winner! Can see United winning this by 3 because there's still enough strength and experience to see leeds off

[CHDad]

Back to your trailer Waterford pikey.

[ghostface]

Did you hear the AVB interview, FFL is finished

What he say?

[Wesley Harms]

What he say?

He said he had to sub FFL at half time at Old Trafford for the sake of the team basically. He needed to change to an attacking formation

[KevIRL]

Did you hear the AVB interview, FFL is finished

Nah, he's still eating and definitely going back for seconds

[Zosma]

The argument was Xbox vs Playstation not xbl vs psn. Fwiw I do think xbl is better but for the price psn wins and overall Playstation wins. Anyway cant be arsed, each to their own etc......

[The Situation]

Any tournament that has Birmingham City as champions after a Nigerian pensioner scored the final winning goal really isn't worth watching.
