about scamming with age player from my school daysBart Millburn played junior cup for 3 years was huge for his age and serious skills seems he was 18 montsh over age and when news broke he left the school immediately he was english
Also once in an under 14 blitz club rugby lost a final to Barnhall had one huge guy in showers hed a full rug of chest hair some lads had no pubes this fucker was like a silver back

Lols, I know the type encountered many of them

[Jibzzzz]

If its the ones i read earlier on, Duncan Ferguson was having an affair with his missus and fathered one of his kids

Sick rumors out there, few people know the truth and will prob stay that way.

Probably will remain a mystery so they can attribute the blame to depression. Can't have it for any other reason as that would mean there is someone to blame other than circumstances.

JohnOB, Its no harm to get banl and such early, I just don't like USIT. As Sick Puppy rightly says they have their own motive for doing it and its basically taking advantage.

You said it was for 1 year. Have you thought about stayign longer? If you are in any way not sure, I'd advise to get the regional work done early and out of the way. I know far too many people who decided with 3 months left that they want to stay and had hassle.
Even if you are 100% going home, its good to have the option to come back for antoher year in the future.

[D3kka]

[QUOTE=Mellor;453890]Assumming that the 4 of them are going to remain in a hostel is a bit ridiculous.

Oh yeah completely, what i was getting at was to look for work beforehand as you mentioned, cause the budget wouldnt last long..id only recommend staying in hostel first off until you find a job.

Yeah mates had previous trouble with USIT had advised me never to go near them, and even by comparing their prices to other travel agencies its ridiculous how they charge more money for the same thing.

Yeah i plan on trying for the second year visa alright. I hear fruit picking should get that for yo but i read somewhere today that fruit picking for 3 months is not enough? And me on a tight budget i will need to do it for sure, i hear its a great way of saving? Would love to stay a second year now but ill see what happens when im over there.

[Mellor]

Yeah, Au$4k won't last long.
When you are completely supporting yourself, every little thing adds up.
MO he'll need to get a job within the first month. Completely do-able.

Fruit picking for 3 months (88 days to be accurate) is pretty standard way of gettign a 2ndWHV. Who said its not enough? Why? Sounds like bollox to me.

Farming can be a good way to save as there's fuck all spend your hard earned on. But its not well paid, if that makes sense.

fruit picking sometimes can be paid by what you pick.
Certain stiff cant be picked or sown if it rains
you need to pay for accomodation food transport after 50 horus in a field you will need some drinks sunscreen
it can be hard to save unless you work 6 days and long hours

i planted sugar cane in north queensland was hardship to be honest 6 till 6 6 days a week dawn till dusk but good pay cos you worked every hour under the sun without beings exist does not suit most women and a lot of men either

Yea ive read it everywhere that it is, just this one magazine i picked up today said picking fruit simply isnt enough, i dont know maybe it was a farmer who wrote it just looking for more out of his employee
Yeah heard is great fuck all to spend on and great for meeting lots people

Haa my naivety is out in full force tonight cant deny that
Yeah but when im dead broke and desperate for the 2nd year visa il try my best to get through it.
I mean ive seen plenty of fb status's saying how its nothing like you think and some of the hardest work alot people will ever do but im down for that, sure it all in the experience

[Mellor]

The requirements are pretty simple. Work in a regional area for 88 days. mon-fri with Sat and Sun off coutns as 7 days, not 5.
Farming and construction both count towards it. As do a few other areas where its a lot handier work. If you meet that you'll get your 2nd year.

If you are working directly for a farm or a construction company you'll be fine. I think the people who ahve problems are those who do its casually, staying in a hostel and get work here and there. They might not quailfy for 88 days after 3 months. Maybe what the mag refered to. Don't go that lazt assed route.

Not sure how many would be interested, but the lads on the boards.ie rugby forum have been doing podcasts for the past few weeks and the standard has gotten incredible (ever since I left it obviously!)

William, the Ulster fan is a senior lecturer in anatomy, physiology and clinical health studies and gives a super insight into some of the more poignant questions on sports injuries in this week's episode.

It's usually a bit too long for my liking, but managing to get it digested in work this morning.

The standard is seriously impressive for a fairly amateur setup.

Ughhh ferry cancelled to Scotland. The next one still sailing is 11.30pm but fuck that travelling with 3 kids incase it gets cancelled and we're stuck in Belfast. Booked onto tomorrows at 12.30 and hoping that one isn't cancelled because it's after cutting the weekend shorter as it is

Just saw a mate post this on fb and say that the Aussies are terrible for tipping.

thats 1.40 to much imo

Yep. @ €2.80 a split (mineral I presume), they got exactly what they deserved.

[careca]

Whether or not Keane was a shit manager he was spot on. Utd are not playing well this season and are struggling through games. The fact that they are still winning those games is a testament to them. Course they could (as usual) blow everyone out of the water after xmas but at the minute they are average at best (others might say in transition ).

Twitter trending with a Duncan Ferguson rumour for those interested...

I can't stand that guy regardless of wether that rumour is true.

that is very standard in temple bar, went in there one night with a friend who was visiting and wanted to go - 5.80 for a heineken - FML

[Flushdraw]

Don't think the weather is meant to get much better unfortunately. Even Dublin is windy as fck and we normally leave the bad weather to ye country folk

Meant to settle down enough to be able to sail tomorrow. It's the Stena Superfast VIII which will generally sail unless it's too dangerous so fingers crossed.

FWIW, the boat tomorrow and return Sunday is now coming in €24 cheaper than we paid for it. Any chance we can get anything back?

[gorrrr72]

I think you have to be playing the hands to store the stats (might be wrong), maybe it's an ipoker security employee.

No you don't. Hands you view aren't auto-logged to your HandHistory folder.
But with a datamining program you can store the info. AFAIK, it basically reads the info from the chat box.

So I was right.....I WAS wrong

Anyone done the Laos crossing from Bangkok by bus, just wondering what's the best way to go about it?

Cant really remember how we got to Laos, I do recall on the main bus journey there were lads with semi-automatics on our bus as bandits hijackings were fairly common at the time.As with all bus journeys in S.E Asia probs not a bad idea to have a few tranquiliisers to take the edge off. Loas was the absolute nuts though, amazing banter but far enough out of the way that it didnt feel really touristy. Lucky bastardo imo.

[Angry-Ball]

us country folk are used to a much more modest 4euros a pint heineken/carlsberg/guinnes.
probably why i don't frequent temple bar very often

[Icarus152]

ahh superstition religion, still causing misery after all these years:

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...reaking19.html

Is that not more to do with how society views suicide? i.e. it's a criminal act.I don't really see what religion has to do with it tbh.

If you try to jump off a cliff,you'll be taken into custody.Rightly or wrongly re assisted suicide,it seems to me like a continuation of the states stance.

Lads anyone any thoughts on the best route to go. Im currently in 2nd year of a 3year degree in business.

I have 2 options for 3rd year.

- stay on 3 year degree and then do 4th year. I will then be doing a general stream and have a general business degree.

- move to the honours degree and do one of the following streams Management, economics/finance, hr, marketing. The first two would be my current preferences.

Anyone any thoughts on what the best route would be? Is a 3 year degree kind of pointless in this day and age? Is the general stream any good?

My cousin is doing a biomedical module in his degree course at the moment for which he and his mate designed a new syringe, nothing major just a slightly different shape.

They've created a 3D Model on AutoCad and then used a 3D printer to get a prototype of it, which is pretty spiffy, but the resin they use for the 3D printer means that the syringe doesnt come out see-through, so basically you can't see the plunger moving in and out within the barrel of the syringe.

They're doing a presentation in the first week of January and he was hoping to overcome this by making some sort of graphic which demonstrates the action inside the syringe to go along with their prototype

I was having a look round youtube and essentially this is the sort of thing they're looking for:

Video starts off with slightly NSFW pan over fake woman including fake boobs

SPOILER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVO7PsoENhI

Only need the needle/syringe though as opposed to all the other stuff.

Anyone have any idea what sort of software package one would need to put something like that together, how many hours you'd be looking at etc?

[Strewelpeter]

Wrongly.

Very much so. I don't like the use of the word suicide in the context. Its just dignified end of life care.
