I expect the US remake of Dragon Tattoo to be quite good, wasnt a huge fan of the original. Mission Impossible 12, GTFO!

It's promising that despite being a US production they've continued with the Swedish setting.

Was fairly sure that Sweden would become New Hampshire, the island would become some Gatsby-esque retreat off the east coast, and the Venger family would become a political dynasty strikingly similar to the Kennedys.

Didn't realise it was still set in Sweden, that's good. Watched the 1st film after reading the 1st 2 books in the series and felt the film was a bit rushed and lacking a bit from those. Starting to read the 3rd book and it was so bad I gave up after about 100 pages so will be surprised at the end of the trilogy anyway

[6starpool]

I enjoyed reading all those books.

Girl with the dragon tattoo

SPOILER

That rape/abuse scene or whatever it was in the original film kinda put me off the movie.Am I a wuss? I turned it off at that point.

[Angry-Ball]

yeah thats cool - something happened at work tonight (dont want to say what exactly just in case) but lets just say it involved some not so nice girls, money stolen from regs and I have stiletto slashes on my face - of course I never raised my hand it just got me wondering what is a lad supposed to do when faced with that situation. A girl pretty much has a free reign

its at times like this you miss those big heavy glass ashtrays that adorned the centre of every table, nothing better than a slap of one of those babies across the puss to put an end to this type of carry on
damn smoking ban

[Angry-Ball]

Aw that was good of you to do all that for her, and believe me after getting into dontown she will not budge for the day

mehh
it will be her turn to fuck off out with the chainsaw in a few weeks time.

[Flushdraw]

random Q - is it ever ok to hit a girl? under any circumstances that you might encounter in everyday life?

Some randomer girl starts hitting you in the street, psycho bitch....do your best best to push her off, if its her or you and you have to hit, work away imo.

Ya i reckon it should be personally i wouldnt have it in me but there is plenty of girls who deserve a whack.

BK - if a woman is swinging a stiletto heel at you, you're perfectly entitled to stop her with whatever force you deem necessary at the time.

Call me old fashioned, but you don't hit a girl. Without being sexist, in 99% of situations men should be able to fend off a female without resorting to hitting her. A girl swinging a stiletto isn't one of the situations where you need to hit a woman. Seeing a bloke punch a women in the face is such a wankerish thing to do, whatever the reason.

[RasTa]

I wouldn't punch but a well timed bitch slap should shut them up, Charlie Murphy style.

I think it was important to show the total failure of the system to fulfil its obligations to look after her as an orphan.
If it helps she quickly reverses the situation with her 'guardian' in the days following the rape.
Though the repurcussions of what happened continue to be a driving force of the story into the third book, so it couldn't really be underplayed in the first film.

If I need to punch a woman in the face because she is swinging the pointy end of a stiletto at me, then I'm certainly going to do it. I'd try to stop her without resorting to it, but if a thump to the face is what stops her, I'd do it in those circumstances and not feel bad about it as it would be merited in this case.

Obviously it's never come close to that ever, and hope it never does, but I wouldn't take it without defending myself, and if using force was the only way, then so be it.

If she comes at you with a bottle tho...

You're lucky enough not to have known any genuinely violent women then, Tony. A stiletto could do permanent damage, and it's all very well saying you could grab her arm or hold her off, but you don't know what the situation was and whether it was possible to restrain her without hurting her. I agree that the least violent option should be taken where possible, but if a punch in the face is what it takes then that's what it takes. Some women think they can get away with anything by virtue of having a pair of tits. I've seen it happen and it's not pretty.

I dont agree for the simple reason that a punch in the face will escalate the situation rather than finish it. Punching in this case is the least desirable option.

Saw a guy absolutely stitch a girl a headbutt in the face there on the 23rd outside a nightclub. There were hundreds of people around, not sure what happened after as i left to get food but it was pretty horrible.

[The Situation]

Nice from Yossi, always find he's underused at the clubs he's been at in recent years, particularly if it's Arshavin been subbed on before him.

Surprised Wenger is playing Van Persie so frequently, he's overdue an injury.

I lived in Ballymun for 32 years. I've seen all manner of things upstairs in the Towers and Penthouse and in The Castle in Finglas. I've seen people fighting off shoe/handbag/glass/fire extinguishing wielding females and i've never seen a woman getting the upper hand. I've seen blokes punch a woman in the face at the first sign of trouble when there's no need to, and i've seen others take a few slaps and not hit back.

Wenger said he's not going to stop Van Persie breaking going for the record so he's in for these 2 games at least. We can't afford to rest him either. He's on fire, and it's the main reason Arsenal are flying high. There's African Nations coming up in the end of Jan, so even more reason why we can't drop him. It's a no win situation for all. I really think we'll take Henry on loan for 2 months if his club allow him to come, especially if we can't find someone suitable in the January window.

[Flushdraw]

Any links for the Arsenal game btw?

wife comes running down to me there about 20mins ago asking if i had any money on PP, i inform her that the a/c is busto but that i had €18 in my boyles poker a/c and that i could transfer that to boyles sports. so she says do it and lump it EW. on no.7 in the 3:05 @ 14/1. so i anounce my dissaproval at this given that she has no real idea of horses and the whole hunch based on the fact that she "thought he looked good" eventually i persuaded her that we only spend €6 on the bet. so i headed to the living room with her to watch our charge romp home. fucking cunt is still running, anyhow paul carberry's mount breezes home to which my wife retorts "yeah paul carberry i knew he would win that all right".

WTF

I haven't either (I assume busting someone's nose in a GAA match while attempting to punch a ball doesn't count)

Judging by the look of most of the women round these parts if I punched one in the face I'm pretty sure they would kick the shit out of me.

Hitting a woman as a first defence or after one or two slaps is very far removed from what I was saying, and I'd thank you not to paint my post in the light of some scum you grew up near. Chalk and cheese.

Edit - not getting into it. Self defense or not, i wouldn't hit a woman

Great point for Wolves there. Heroic defending at the death.

With the euro's on this year perhaps there would be interest in a euro fantasy draft. Normally drafts turn shit and people stop bother so what I propose is 20 teams, everyone pm's me their ideal team. Depending on the amount of times a player is picked the higher the auction fee they will have. if no one chooses one of your players you get him for free. We have a set budget and then on one day we have an auction for the players or I put the list of players and then there is a blind auction for them. You can obviously trade players for cash and then use that to bid higher for paul mcshane in this years tournament

I think most people would agree that a man hitting a women is not cool, I have never done it myself. My play would be to stay out of reach until they calm down or just GTFO of the area. If I was backed into a corner and they were wielding a weapon with intent to harm (not just threatening) then I wouldn't stand there and let them.

Same if a woman was trying to lead away my kid to a car or something, I don't think I could contain myself there and I wouldn't let her walk away and do it to some other child, I would do what it took to restrain her.

[Caf]

Boylepoker down for anyone else?

edit: it's back.

[Bubbleking]

meh im firmly in the not hitting women category tbh - never have and dont think I ever will. Got badly done last night in fairness and these women had a particular streak of badness in them (pretty sure they were settled pikeys) 4 women and 3 lads - of course the lads knowing better so they just sat back and watched as the women went riot(actually one of them took a swipe at a lad whos about 60 which was probably the sorriest thing he ever did of all the people to take a swipe at ). was trying to restrain one of the girls when I got done from the side with a stiletto - prob should get it seen to as its still bleeding on and off

Crazy times never had any trouble in our pub before - no shortage of regs getting stuck in to lend a hand though which was nearly a bigger job trying to calm them down. Finally get them out and a bottle comes through the window
