How do you lock screen + does it work for photos? Nothing more tilting than them adjusting themselves when you dont need it.

double click the home button, slide the bottom menu bar to the right. There's a square on the left of the screen with a "rotation" icon. Tap this until there is a lock on it.

No its actually listed as both one hour and two and a half in different places. There are days between our groups games and the Pol D Matches... fair bit of extra recovery time for SA and Wales over us and Australia.

Edit see below Willie is right there is days between the games

As Raoul says it just won't wash and because of bonus points any shenanigans might need to look obvious.

But still Pete DeVillers...

I was going to correct your appalling grammar here but then I realised I said 'dats' instead of 'days'.
Phew close one.

How about dem Dubs eh?

Need a bit of help lads. Looking for the following documents & google hasn't been much help to me:

a. UK Single market Act
b. UK ’let’s choose growth’ policy paper
c. EU eCommerce Directive
d. An EU paper called ‘Consumer behaviour in a digital environment or digital internal market.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a site that would have these? Gracias.

that makes 90% of the population of the country he wants to be president of 'West Brits'

he also says he left the IRA in 1974

[Raoul Duke III]

speaking of media interaction, this is pretty good

some of our GAAheads on here would be proud of those levels of rational analysis:

Ok, it's obvious the IRB are unjust. Wales get 7 days, we get 3. Unfair treatment, like slavery, like the holocaust, like apartheid . **** U. Give Wales 3 days off, and give Samoa a week!! We would kill them!!!"

Non-goalkeepers that can play a bit and might fancy playing for the season are welcome as well obviously Darragh, I'm looking at you

this is all about kicking FF while they're down and making a play for their vote, it's purely opportunistic

Some very good quotes from Ginger McCain in a special pullout section in the Post today, well worth stealing from the bookies.

Facebook users, Dominos Pizza are donating €1 to Barretstown Childrens Charity for every "like" their page gets.

Good opinion piece titled "The humiliation of Barack Obama" from the former director of CIA counter terrorism unit for anyone interested.

Ireland playing Canada in the second ODI today having thumped them yesterday. Not going all our way, we made 249-7 from 50 ovs. Canada just lost their 3rd wicket and are 89-3 after 17ovs.

All these ODI's count toward the World Cup Qualification league (we've won our first 3 games of the league), so vital we can get a win here.

New / 2nd hand fine. Friend looking to get one soon enough

should be grand kev, it's pretty cloudy in Dublin today so I'd imagine the ball is doing a good impression of a banana (explaining our not-great score). We'll winkle them out.

Any interest in popular science type books? Just finished this, really enjoyed it:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Code-Book-Secret-History-Code-breaking/dp/1857028899/

Read his book on Fermat's Theorum a few years ago, which was even better. I also recently finished this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Khrushchev-Man-His-William-Taubman/dp/0743275640/

recently, it was also really enjoyable I thought. Long book and fairly meaty, but also very accessible IMHO.

They are 4 down now, a second run out. 99-4 now and their dangerman Cheema to the wicket. Get him and we'll be home and hosed

[Sledgejammer]

I just got the complete music from Super Mario Bro's 1-3, timeless gems! How did this take me so long? Stick them on my phone and now I can walk around Dublin to my own theme song, the underground tunnel to the further out platforms in Connolly is something I'm particularly looking forward too obv

[Raoul Duke III]

Currently reading

The Map That Changed the World





Highly enjoyable non-fiction. Depends if you are into that popular science stuff though.

already have two of his, Korea and The River at The Centre of The World

both kind of history\travel book mixed up in one. Great writer, the Korea book is magnificent (he walks from the south of Korea to the DMZ).

wouldn't be into the scientific stuff at all

Nah not in the slightest, if you don't mind downloading then you will never have to buy a book again.

Heads up that Jurassic Park is on general release this Friday in cinemas round the country. Can't bloody wait its one of my all time favourite popcorn films and always wanted to see it in the cinema.

I now pirate books, music, films and TV shows. Computer games and comic books are the only media that I pay for. Feel semi bad sometimes, although it's rare.

Ah, but despite the ease of use and portability of the Kindle, would you really never want to experience the joy of holding a brand new book in your hands and excitement you feel when first opening it to read the introductory lines? Kindles are cool, but every home needs a bookshelf or two (or five!) filled with real books as well!

I was 12 or 13 when I saw this in the cinema, absolutely shit myself. Funny thing was so did my Dad but he was doing that 'only making the son feel better by playing along malarky'

When the velociraptors showed up only trumped by when I saw Alien for the first time and was rocking back on my chair when the alien jumped out of the stomoch, fell off the fucking thing and had nightmares

I don't pirate computer games either - enjoy them too much to do so. Though I do buy most games via Steam sales so usually pay relatively little for them, even so, my money is going to the designers / producers / distributors and hopefully encouraging them to continue to make quality games.

That real life book argument holds no weight to a cold bastard like myself. If you really like the feel then just do this!

[Bubbleking]

if you want a console for gaming and all round better experience buy an xbox

if you want an expensive blue ray player buy a ps3

Iv had both and xbox is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS3

Havent had too much time to read it, only bout 1/4 of the way through and enjoying it so far.

[KevIRL]

we really are a machine at this level now

Thankfully he didnt. 6th wicket down now 154-6 after 38.3.

We are thank fukk although 2 home ODI's against Namiba and another 2 home against Canada was the nicest start we could have gotten to this league thingy, we should close out this and 4 wins from 4 is great considering the time of year and the weather obstacle here.

Whatever about ODI, we just crush to redic levels at 4 day intercontinental cup matches. Its almost a surprise now if we dont get an innings victory
