we'll never get the truth.

I'd say we will. This is 1.01 to go to court imo.

[Trippie]

How cool is Indiana Jones? Pretty much the top dog in the world of archaeologists you'd have to say That chick Marian is pretty foxy. God damn Nazis, they must be the nut best baddies, way more hate-worthy than even Imperial Stormtroopers.

Went to see Indy when it was on one week in the cinema in balbriggan. Was great seeing it on the big screen with proper sound etc. Did remind just how awful the crystal skull was though. Just a perfect adventure film from start to finish

[NewApproach]

Many from here playing the Galway game in the Westwood tonight? Think I'll go up for it. Might see some of ye there

[nicnicnic]

it was fun for 2 minutes anyway

[Strewelpeter]

At the risk of raising Kayroos ire, the idea that you are in anyway more likely to get the truth in court is ridiculous. If there is any danger of a damaging truth coming out it will be settled outside.

If it get settled outside of court they would have to pay everyone in full, and in that event I doubt nicnicnic will care anymore what really went on

Grr.... Stupid me!
Got myself banned from Paddy Power Poker!!
Came in drunk the other night with a mate who was staying in my place and was showing him hold em manager and opened up two cash tables. 10c/20c or something. Think I broke even, not sure completely. Then was just fucking around playing blackjack and lost about $100 or something. Hadn't played either cash or blackjack for months anyway, but had intended on self banning myself from cash/blackjack for ages cos I don't really play either, but in the past had busted my account for small amounts and all I really want to play is tournaments.

So opened up the customer support thing and asked to ban me from cash/blackjack and was kinda taking the piss a bit, being an idiot, nothing major. So I try to open up PPP yesterday and says to contact support. No probs with that, just assumed I could get it reopened. Turns out you can't ban yourself exclusively from cash and customer support tell me I'm 100% never allowed play poker again! FFS! They'll let me use the sportsbook where I've lost a small amount on, but never allowed play poker again where I'm well up for the year/overall!

Not a huge deal, will just play on Boyles, but had intended to play a few IO satellites this year which is really annoying.

[Downtown]

Is the WPT sat on Ipoker or just Paddy power? Why would it be a PP exclusive?

Jesus... Don't rub it in.

[Downtown]

Getting pissed off myself, have my loots on Boyle and want to play the WPT sat but that would mean I would have to miss my usual nights grinding.

Is the issue with running 2 ipoker clients at the same time Rory? If it is then Sandboxie will sort that for ya

Or you could just transfer the funds to ppp

SPOILER

Pretty sure the WPT sat won't run tonight anyway

[Sirtoyou]

Not seeing it in any skin Rory including Paddys.Just found lol well hidden.

[Lao Lao]

Considering none of these people got charged, never mind bans, I think they should.

Yeah, but none of the others you posted are racist...

[Laois Hammer]

Do you nap during the day or wake early and drift back to sleep for a few hours? I used to get it every day over the summer a few years back when I was working and playing poker at night as I'd have a nap everyday. Have some terrifying memories from it and only get it anymore if I wake early and drift off again.

Yeh thats the only times it happens me, if i wake up and try to go back asleep. So i got in the habit of jus getting up when i wake up but the christmas ruined that abit so its hello mr sleep paraylis again.

[6starpool]

Yeah, but none of the others you posted are racist...

[Kayroo]

I'd say we will. This is 1.01 to go to court imo.

It'll never go to Court.

It'll never settle.

All gambling contracts are void ab initio and therefore are legally unenforceable. There is no legal redress for this.

[KK82]

Think I'll have a night of listening to The Smiths. First up... The Queen is Dead.

I agree totally. Ire saved.

Speaking as someone that doesn't have a clue about Befair and how backing and laying works, what's my options here for greening up as people calling it.

In the Darts, pre tournaments i backed Van Gerwen @ 250/1, Part @ 125/1 and Nicholson @ 50/1

On Betfair, i can lay them with Nicholson @ 12.5, Van Gerwen @ 50 and Part @ 42.

Basically, what does it mean in a Nutshell if i had €20 on each?

You could lay them all to get back your stake money if you wanted but you'll need a lot of money in a Betfair account to do so.

Are your bets originally done on Betfair?

Nah, i did the bets on Boyles and PP. Never been sure how Betfair works and probably couldn't get anymore than €500 on to it in the next day or so.

Better off letting it ride and have a look again if they reach the last 8?

Well for you to take a 10er off someone on Van Gerwen at 50 you'd need 490 in your account to cover that bet.

If you had backed them on Betfair then you'd stand to win 1500 or whatever and the 490 would just come out of that so you wouldnt need to deposit more or anything.

Yeah id let it ride and hope you get them all through another round.

[KevIRL]

Darts crowd has been extremely tilting today. Stand up if you love the darts....fuck off.

So for Van Gerwen (if i backed on Betfair) it's €5k if he wins, so i have a virtual €5k in my account. I could lay €90 at 50 (need €90 x 49=€4410) so i'm up €70 and still get €90 if he wins? Is that right?

[FeetMagic]

Ya that's right

If you had put on 20 to win 5k profit then?

Yeah you'd be up a guaranteed 90 and then 590 profit if he wins it.

This isnt taking commision into account.

Question for the BBV collective 2 parts:

What is the correct way to act in the church if you are invited to a christening and have no belief in the religion the child is being baptised into?

AND

Same again if visiting the grave of a person who was catholic but you have no belief in Catholocism at all. This person is a close relative of yours! Not immediate family but jst outside that.

[Opr]

Not really sure what you are asking. Common sense would dictate if you go to be respectful whilst attending.

Opr

[Theresa]

Yeah of course, being respectful is a given. I suppose I didnt phrase it particularly well.

In the church, do you partake in the mass? or do you sit quietly? Do you join in when everyone else is praying and standing or do you remain stoic?

The second one was simply, people say to say a prayer or whatever when visiting a grave? If you don't pray, what do you do?

[6starpool]

Not really sure what you are asking. Common sense would dictate if you go to be respectful whilst attending.

Opr

This. Go along for the sake of the people who asked you in the case of the christening, and act appropriately. Stand/sit/kneel where you are put, do what you are told, and you'll be ok. In the funeral thing, at the graveyard, stand there to pay your respects to the dead, and when everyone leaves, leave. No need to say any prayers.

There'll be spots in both the church and the grave where you can do your own thing and not partake in mass or prayer. You're probably ok to sit and stand and just play along and there's no need to kneel if you don't want to

[KevIRL]

Question for the BBV collective 2 parts:

Are you a godparent? If so there is basically no interaction needed if you dont want to. Similar to a regular mass there a few prayers but no one is going to realistically notice if you arent mumbling along.

If you are a godparent then there are a couple of promises you must make...help raise the child within the church etc, its a simple matter of saying 'we will' when the priest asks the Q's

There will be photo's though obv

Visiting a grave is a personal thing imo. Religion doesnt matter its just a place for you to go and reflect on the persons life - or whatever you want really. There's no set way to act, just really with some respect to the other people who would use the graveyard.... no cracking open a few cans.

Kinda hard to renounce satan and all his evil deeds if you dont belive in him !

This, I will sit and stand, no kneeling though, none of that blessing oneself either, i will also avoid eyecontact when they expect me to shake hands...thats how germs are passed ffs !

Just re-watching the first season of Friday Night Lights, the pilot episode is pretty much TV perfection.

Has to be the best pilot of any show ever. It's just scene by scene perfect, introduces the characters so well, and just grips you instantly.

Voiceover Speech from Coach Taylor at the end is class, "Give all of us gathered here tonight the strength to remember that life is so very fragile. We are all vulnerable, and we will all, at some point in our lives... fall. We will all fall. We must carry this in our hearts... that what we have is special. That it can be taken from us, and when it is taken from us, we will be tested. We will be tested to our very souls. We will now all be tested. It is these times, it is this pain, that allows us to look inside ourselves. "

"Hmm beginning to think poker stars are worse than ftp the way there treating me and the rest of the Irish players"

allegedly a few of the Irish players played on stars whilst in america over the summer. Through use of a re-router. Stars froze their accounts and their funds in it. They are opening accounts of some, and not others, literally prickn the boys around. A few of them have 5 figures in them. Major inconsistency in which accounts they decide to re-open and not. Their CCare being very unco-operative also

Im not fully sure though, maybe one of them will answer themselves

[oleras]

You have not countered with The West Wing opener...where we are first introduced to the president ? ? One of the best for me.

Still to watch FNLs. Need a new series so this should fit in perfectly

Lose the ghost in organising a game Steve? when you going back?

Its such a well written series even if a bit predictable in parts. Some of the scenes with Buddy and Taylor are just brilliant. Highly recommended.

I didnt even begin organising as being so close to Xmas people would be away and busy a lot. Im here until Jan 20th so I might look into organising one when people get back to work and are a little bit more stable.

The Black Donnellys is one of the best pilots of a tv show I have ever seen. The original screener with arcade fire playing at the end not the one that they edited when aired on tv.

I would say that Friday Night Lights has best finale though. Such an incredible tv show

[KevIRL]

Course I have, probably about 15 times now

Havent seen FNL and been on the lookout for a new show to start. C Kid's post was a timely reminder

My line is similar - sit and stand with the rest, no kneeling (you will have allies in this if you look about), no fake piousness with praying and crossing oneself. I will handshake and utter 'peace be with you' during it. Obviously no eating the transubstantiated rotting corpse of a 2 thousand year old zombie lord.

[oleras]

I got the Battlestar box set for Christmas, have seen most of season 1 but will prob start at the start again just for the recap, forget most of it.
