[Emmet]

yeah having a typically blonde moment. If someone could just answer my previous question re the talc in a non-cryptic manner I'd appreciate it.

[Keane]

Thats a bargain. If you are thinking of buying one I'd nab one of them at that price.

Its the best bit of kit I have bought this year.

Won't let me order from the .co.uk site - it's sending me to the US one. Any idea if I need to spring for a a Euro power adapter or anything like that?

They charge from usb only

[Keane]

Tempted to go for the touch version at that price, I found the button interface a little bit clunky when I used one before.

[Strewelpeter]

So I'm trying to pack my room away, things that I'd left behind last year thinking I'd be back this year so there wasn't much point dealing with them then.

I have 3 sets of Talcum Powder that came with expensive Aftershave that I got as gifts over the course of a couple of Christmases. I've never used any of these.

Are they for your balls?

Yea balls and anywhere else that doesn't get dry properly in a hurry.

Its like an iPhone charge so you can charge from the mains or USB.

Cool beans.

[Emmet]

Great stuff. It's all I've left of the fancy scents.

Going to have a rainbow of odours around my crotch tonight!

You need to get Balla.

[DeadParrot]

Just no. Please help me erase this image from my head!

I was sick of the troubles talk.
I want to know how best to get talc in the crease of my groin.
Right where ballbag meets leg. One leg hoisted on gym bench in a hand on hip devil-may-care nonchalant lunge?
Weigh lifter style rub on hands and get a grip?
How do you administer talcum powder upwards?
Squeezey puff the talc?
And I'm not alone, Emmet needs these questions answered.
I've only pondered, he is stuck in a talc limbo

[Kayroo]

Any talk of the North/recent Irish history gives me screensaver face.

Sorry to revive it so.

All the talk earlier about Martin McGuinness misses, I think, the essential point.

Even if what he did with the IRA could be explained away by circumstance and even if we accepted that extraordinary times lead to extraordinary actions and even if we all accepted that he was 100% committed to peace and believed in the Constitution like the Pope believes in the Bible I STILL wouldn't vote for him for one reason.

He is a LIAR and he has lied every day of this campaign.

Newstalk this morning, Padraig Mac Lochlainn TD (SF) was asked 10 times to answer 1 question: Do you believe Martin McGuinness left the IRA in 1974 as he stated he had done to the Saville Inquiry? He never even acknowledged the question.

We all know that Martin McGuinness was a member of the IRA long after 1974 (probably until approx. 2000) but he continues to lie about it day in, day out despite it being the 1st question asked of him and anyone who asks it is called West Brit or there are questions made about their "agenda".

Martin McGuinness has lied and continues to lie to the Irish people. As far as I am concerned that's reason enough not to vote for him.

[pgodkin]

I find the term 'The troubles' nothing shy of hilarious.

My Speeling isn't very goodly, me graymmer isn't not betterer

(trouble is the only thing i can spell when talking about this, what do you call it)

[Ste05]

The one I bought for Mrs05 just has a microUSB slot for charging so you just need one of those to charge it.

EDIT: Damn too slow.

This, be flathulach with the stuff, its cheap.

Fuck Amazon anyway.

They won't let me buy from the UK site so they send me to the US site. Grand. A load of special offers on Kindles on the US site, happy days. Select one, click proceed to checkout. Sorry, you can't have that either. Click through to "non-US Kindle store" where I'm offered the bog standard Kindle for $40 more than the price a US customer has to pay for it.

GFY Amazon.

Excellent, I've spent ages sitting out the last couple of nights waiting for the Aurora to be visible here, there was a small bit late on Monday but its been very disappointing from here given the magnitude of the Solar storm that's been going on this week. Maybe tonight.

At least you didn't tell your son that you were getting it for him between looking at the US site and going through to checkout with a leather cover I spent I think it was just less than €200. Sigh!

Still saved me a fortune compared to what I would have had to pay for books.

I bought mine from the .co.uk site, you just need a UK postal address, do you know anyone who would accept delivery for it and send it on to you.

Actually I have a mate from Belfast who can probably sort it out, hadn't thought of that. Nice one.

Stupid €100 limit on boyle account (self-imposed a long long time ago) is messing up IPO purchase.

Says new increased limit becomes active on 29th Sep. Would anyone know if that means midnight tonight?

Despite what carfax says, it probably wont sell out by tonight

What is screensaver face?

Internal workings close down, but there is an appearance of activity to outside observers, through things like nodding and going 'ha, yeah' and 'oh, really?'.

Its purely the 'need to tick things off to-do list' that's bothering me!

Dont worry sure you can buy in on the day

I'm so going to see this:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2011/sep/04/dominic-west-clarke-peters-interview-othello?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487

A decade ago Dominic West and Clarke Peters were two working actors living in the same north-west London neighbourhood. At the time they were both making a reasonable if unreliable living on stage and screen, yet they were strangers not just to the general public but also to each other. Then out of the blue they found themselves in the American backwater of Baltimore, starring in The Wire, David Simon's epic portrait of that city's criminal and political classes, and they formed the kind of lasting bond that only the shared participation in a monumental enterprise – like a major war or an exceptional five-season TV series – can provide.

Now, though, for the first time in four years West and Peters are appearing together in arguably the most inspired piece of theatrical casting since Nicole Kidman's tumescently acclaimed performance in The Blue Room. Peters is to play Othello and West Iago in Sheffield Theatres artistic director Daniel Evans's production of Othello at the Crucible, a venue that is perhaps less known for lines such as Iago's "green-eyed monster" than for the drama of green baize snooker.

Except for the skin colour I'd be automatically picturing West as Othello and Peters as Iago. Should be good.

Just back from the hospital, son went in this morning for a procedure on his leg, he walks on his toes and after years of physio and botox we decided surgery was the last resort. He is 12 now.

What we were led to belive was a day patient, the procedure would involve something called a gastroc slide, basically they lengeten the calf mussle, when we went in this morning they were marking up his achilles tendon, i questioned this and after a long chat with the surgeon we agreed this is the way he would proceed.

Waiting till 14.30 to go to theatre, he was out about 2 hours later, groggy as fuck with plaster paris just below the knee, going to have to wear this for 6-8 weeks and when the tendon is healed then the physio will begin again, poor fellow, really felt for him all drugged up, got the phone out for one of those" david visits the dentist" moments but didnt happen...lol

Ended up he has to stay the night, wife is going to stay with him because i have work tomorrow, and champions league..doh !!

Private room though so they gave her a cot bed and i got her a sandwhich before i headed home.

All to be done again next year for the other leg.

Any physio/medical heads know this procedure, lenghtning the tendon, succesful ?

Kenny C commentary is just cringe worthy, just talking for the sake of it

[Strewelpeter]

This is the third time in as many weeks in a soccer game I've heard a commentator casually say something like: Oh yea thats deffo a penalty but the ref won't give a penalty this early in the game
WTF

Sweet goal from Chamberlain on his full debut
