Cheers folks for all the input you be legends keep it coming, how are the cities you all mention pricewise want to have a good time without getting gouged.

Tallinn is very cheap, got big spacious room beside old town for €35 a night.
Krakow very cheap as well, €1 a pint cheap.

Hope the pal is being well compensated; Dresden ain't pretty! The people there seem to think they are on some Biggest Loser reverso game show. Literally not a single hot woman there and this was at the height of summer when statistically the ladies are hotter.

Going for a year for work, very well compensated. That's why prob if going over to him will go to Prague or another German city as its close for him by rail to loads of places

We did a beer bike tour, where ten of us sat on stools on this cart and pedaled while a tour guide showed us the sights and the pedal power pumped german beer for us.

WTF?

[Mellor]

Hated is such a strong word !

Lost was fantastic, for what it was. It gave so many WTF moments never seen before on TV, I would go as far as groundbreaking with the story, some may dislike the way it ended, felt it dragged a bit in the middle but in all the episodes there was rarely a filler imo. Solid entertainment.

I loved lost. Was a regualr on the lsot forum, throw out theorysd and all that jazz.
When I left in 2009 its was mid way through season 5. I never finished it as I miss a lot with travel. I also did have decent internet to download.

I was at home for xmas and got the rest of season 5 online. The GF include the season 6 DVDs with my xmas presents.

I watched season 6 in 3 days last weekend. tbh, I'm digusted with the ending, and most of season 6 tbh.

SPOILER

The afterlife flashes are ridiculous, and just serve to create various chance meetings and so Hurley gets his picnic date etc.
The conclusion was full of hoels also. no need for Jack to die etc.

Most importantly there was a huge amount of questinos left unanswered.

For MMA fans, I see Munnoz is out of the Chael Sonnen fight cos of injury. Bisping is stepping up to top the bill. Can't see that one lasting too long now. At least Sonnen can launch into the smack talk now as he wasn't with Munnoz.

Looking forward to the promo for this one.
I'm glad they didnt try to keep Bisping away from Sonnen to get two title fights. This one promotes itself.

Now that their is no No.1 contender fight, Henderson looks likely to get a shot.

[ArmaniJeans]

Would there be many stag dos or Americans in Talinn or is it still more-or-less undiscovered by those types? Heard great things about it.

We were In Talinn in June (95% sure it was June) and there was no stag-dos or anything like that. It was Monday&Tuesday night though so probably not reliable anecdotal evidence.

On the other hand we moved down to Riga on the Wednesday and there was loads of stag-dos there so who knows.

€1 after every pot over a tenner or so imo, no need to give more for bigger pots and no need to tip when leaving or at cage, all pooled anyway.

You seem to tip way too much, I generally tip the same for nearly all pots regardless of size, when leaving a table I normally wouldn't tip but would throw any loose change that I have from time to time, wouldn't be tipping at the cage either.

For me, it's usually €1 for every pot over €12-€15, €2 for €80-€200, €5+ for bigger pots depending on it's size. Most I've ever tipped in one pot is €25.

Rake is only too high if you are playing the wrong games I run cash tables at a game and my rake is 5% capped at €10 rake free last hour and the last week of every month it's 5% capped @ €5.

Rake for 1 2 games in dublin is about 75 quid an hour for the table include tips,
cash leagues,bad beat jackpots, tips for drinks, food, etc and a whole lot of money is constantly leaving the table.
The rake is to damn high

peru update.

guy in hostel got bit by something in jungle apparently. hand is slightly numb and swollen. im on laptop, owner of hostel pulls up chair near sofa at a picture of jesus and a list in spanish of something, talking to him,goes i am going to say a prayer first and then an injection to take the liquid out.

im thinking im not so sure about letting the lady of house use needles on you but whatever he seems fine with it. so anyway go back to writing, she starts praying, next thing i see his wrist raised up and her hand clearly holding a needle except thumb is pushing it in instead of taking shit out. like wtf. interest peaked obviously. look closer

in fact it is an imaginary needle and injection, guy has his arm elevated, she is injecting make believe stuff into the pressure points, rubbed his arm in the same direction to focus poison in one spot, obviously changed needle and got the bigger one out to take the demon blood out of him.

had him take his shirt off, imaginary wipe on his arm and then needle giving him vaccinations, back to the hand now, saying prayers and rubbing his shoulder asking if he feels ok, literally could not make this up if i tried.

opens imaginary container of tablets, holds his head back and feeds him pills, then cupping hands like holding water, one final prayer and they are talking now, seems that he is purged of all the poisons and demon blood in him.

I obviously laughed and this american girl looks at me and gives me the death stare as if to say how dare i.

sometimes i wonder about people

I spent most of my time in queensland and 3
months in northern victoria real red neck places.

Remember on australia day 5 of us irish lads working for a transport company walked shaved headed into the pub.
i broke blade on shaver only had bare blade we were well dressed had t shirts on and jeans trosuers compared to the locals.

about 20 aboriginees and similar amount of tongans stopped stared in utter disbelief we looked like something outta Romper Stomper.

one of the aboriginee guys we worked with used bring us out bush hunting crazy aboriginee house partys, and fishing was a gentleman - couple of drinks and he was mad for fights aggro etc
which was a shame really must be genetic he was half german guess as he called them the real black fellas have no chance.

Where in Northern Vic were you out of curiosity? Spent 4 months in Redcliffs, mad place.

Can i suggest that instead of tipping every pot just conner off the money you would tip. Then at the end of the session have a look at how much money it actually was and see then if it to much (you will actually be shocked at how it builds up), From the above like everyone else has said it is way too much as if you are paying festival rake's the game is not beatable

I would normally tip the same amount although do vary the amount if the pot is massive, ie 200BB+ obv gets a bigger tip than a 20BB pot, Also don't be afraid to pay in SB's as a tip is completely optional.

I also wouldnt tip if the dealer was slow or bad as i don't see the reason in tipping these dealers (although this doesnt happen much)

[max_power]

Myself, max_power and a few other lads went when we were inter-railing. We were 19 and travelling for a month, so obviously a lot of laughs and jokes had been picked up along the way.

One such joke my pronunciation of the word 'vegetable.' The lads had been ripping the piss out of me for pronouncing it with an extra syllable, so that I said 'veg-e-ta-bel' instead of 'veg-ta-bel.'

Half-way through the tour, the guide starts talking about the food they had to survive in the camp, and says that they had to grow their own 'veg-e-ta-bels.'

I've never seen a group of people trying harder not to laugh in my life, in quite possibly the most inappropriate place possible.

That was extremely funny alright, I think she was showing us furnaces where they burnt dead bodies at the time. Remember stumpy?

There was actually a huge amount of people there (mostly yanks) taking a lot of photos where they were prohibited/filming things that were prohibited/using flash and lots of other massively tilting things. Stay classy.
