I was actually watching a documentary called Requiem for Detroit during the week about the absolute wreck of a city it's become with the loss of the car industry. It has some of the largest abandoned buildings in the world, really strage looking place

At the height of the Celtic Tiger bullshit I'd a mate trying to convince me to buy abandoned local authority houses from the Detroit City Council at $20K a pop and rent them out via a management agency to low income workers.
I remember google imaging the city and realising it was dying.

surprised I haven't been banned from boards.ie yet...

Anyhoo, first day of the new life tomorrow, new flatmates seem fine, computer nerds, but that's grand by me. Stoke is nowhere near as bad as I thought, but I'll definitely be getting bored here, so am going to have to get my hands on a car by Christmas. Plenty of decent spots to go wandering though once I have one.

FU. But I'd consider myself more of a "social" computer geek, as opposed to a sci-fi computer programming geek.

That and I've a lot to say, probably too much.

Definitely too much.

Anyone do me a favour and buy 20 O2 credit off me? Bought it the other day instead of Vodafone. Il accept $20 so small bit of profit for someone.

[Emmet]

Spot on. Thats exactly what I meant by my post. How dare we dream of something.

Like if I say i think Liverpool will win the premiership, will the same posters thank it.
Or if i say Waterford/Kildare are a good bet for the double next year, what do you think will happen. SPORT imo.

Sensationalist imo. I simply said lets not get carried away but you say "uplifting to see people dream". Give me a break with all due respect.

Sport can make people feel Greeeeeat...

When i was first introduced to boards i couldnt figure how someone could possibly have that many posts but i mean now with time i see how.

That reminds me i was just thinking how did i get introduced to the boards poker forum.

I was playing a game in the casino Neil Kelly had just opened. There was a big controversy where there was 2 of the same cards in a deck. I remember our very own TheHurricane slagging Kelly off that he was going to go on boards with the story. I then tried to listen for any info as to what this mystical boards was that put so much fear into Kelly.

I guess i went home and put google to use and the rest as they say is history.

@ The Hurricane

You can be such a nasty prick at times. I was reading what you said about the dole. You make it sound like all people WANT to be on the dole.

I was made redundant while on Maternity leave, pretty unlucky I guess. After my maternity money ran our before the baby was 9 months I had no choice to go on the dole as there was nothing around and I ACTUALLY wanted to enjoy a bit of time at home with the baby as I know she is my last.

I looked about for suitable work and found none this year. I hated going to sign on every month and I hated queuing in the post office each week. I have never been out of work in my life. Only ever had time off on Maternity leave.

You have a very low opinion of people who don't work. I hope your job is always there for you and you don't need to sign on as I doubt you would get one bit of sympathy of some.

/rant

To give The Hurricane the benefit of the doubt (should I be even doing this? ), I'm guessing that he didn't really mean to target ALL people drawing the dole as being good-for-nothings who hang around in the bookies all the time, just those who have made surviving on the dole / welfare state benefits a lifestyle choice and have no interest in improving their situation.

Jebus, im only seeing this now.

Your some crowd of fairies, Ionapaul is correct i was only having a pop at CHD, trying to draw him out.

People around here take things way too seriously, also MrsFlushdraw, i accept your forthcoming apology for calling me names

If only i had half the knowledge of poker back then that i do now the money that was around wasnt even funny. Although the waiting for AA strategy was still a solid winner.

@ BK I hope Atlanta bench Turner for the 2nd half with the game in the bag against Seattle or I'm in trouble on the fantasy league.

Eh anybody watch the last ep of fringe? I have a query...

What is it that Marjory did in the dream sequence?? Was it just me that was getting the hint of she had sex with him as a child or something??

WOW!! Think the Cards have been robbed there, horrible call by the ref to the challenge, he fell over and let go of the ball!!

[nicnicnic]

as most know I don't get on very well with Neill Kelly. was going to put something in my blog but could just seem like sour grapes, and I'm not 100% I'm being objective ? so going for a BBV rant instead,

FFS someone take that fucking microphone from him in future, it difficult to play poker for 12 hours and the last thing a player wants is constant drivel over a booming PA system. It's not a fucking TD's job to tell us every thing from goal scorers to race results, it's 2011, we have phones that do all that. Also running commentary on chip counts through out the day was something TD's did in the country back in 2005 when no one knew how to TD.

anyone else in Killarney feel the same or is it just me ?

It is an abiding memory of mine from last years event aswell, was ridiculously off putting and pretty sure I mentioned it to whoever was running the side event I was in at the time. It may have been ok if the noise level was low but it seemed to be on full blast from what i recall.

Opr

I disagree completely. If anything it's heavily influenced by 80's crime thriller movies and old exploitation flicks, but presented at a much slower, almost Taxi Driver-esque pace. It's really not a modern style movie at all, and certainly about as far from a Statham film as you could get. Admittedly it's mainly about it's slick presentation, superb pacing and incredible atmosphere rather than being about a particularly strong narrative, but there's nothing wrong with that and many classic movies would have similar criticisms.
