Was really expecting to hear on the news Sunday morning about some English lad being murdered .
Weird shit.

I googled about it and most of the info says it's a gfx problem but I'm running four monitors, two from the mb, and two from a graphics card. The other three are fine. The monitor with the lines is running from the mb.
I'm guessing that the monitor is just fucked?

Considering all the strategy madness going on at the end of the Super Bowl last night was the Giants 12 men on the field right at the end deliberate? Really stood out for me.
On the last drive the Giants had 12 players on the field with about 16 seconds left. The Patriots ran a play that took the clock down to 9 seconds that didn\'t count because Giants had 12 in the huddle and Patriots got to move up five yards because of the penalty.
That was a great outcome for New York because they only gave up 5 yards but lots of time came off the clock.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Watched a poker movie called Lucky You last night. Anyone see it? The poker action is pretty lolworthy in it, as are all of the cliches! The way they splashed the pot every time they bet was extremely tilting.
Cameos from all of the big names in it, surprised I'd never heard of it before.

A good movie but cringeworthy from a Poker players POV. I also was so tilted by the pot splashing haha.
Really funny how Johnny World one of the coolest guys in Poker was the Villian. Noticed a lot of faces there alright. Openheilm was hilarious too.

Hmm, the catalogue for the new Allsop auction out today - this house is new (I think) and literally 60 seconds walk from the house my Dad grew up in on Valentia:
Might be interesting as a holiday home.
The rest of the catalogue is as the earlier ones; loads of muck and more Castleforbes Sq apartments that they are slowly releasing onto the market to avoid a firesale, though they achieve lower prices in each subsequent auction I think, about €130k for 2-beds there. You'd be sick to have paid €300k+ for the same apartments a few years ago, but no doubt there are people in that situation.

Anyone want to live in Killybegs?
Or if you have an irrational hatred of money, perhaps Cork St? It is 45 square meters, LOL:
God, I hope no-one buys that last one, particularly as in the same auction they are selling off 2-beds in Usshers Island (not a particularly nice part of Dublin either, I know) for a mere €10k more but over double the size (100sqm)!

Just got badly slow rolled in the queue choice in Aldi. Both basically the same length all the way to the back of the roller thing. Woman on end of one queue has a single pan of bread in her hand and a plastic bag in the other. Bingo jump on that one. When there is space to put food on roller yoke she plonks down the bread then up goes the bag and empties out loads of stuff, then reaches behind me onto a display shelf and retrieves another plastic bag of food She played it well

I've no idea of the market there, but if you could get a new, decent 2-bed apartment in Letterkenny which didn't have any issues with title, management company and so on (some of those auctioned in the past do, obviously you need your solicitor to do his work beforehand on this) for less than €50k it seems like it would be ok work in today's market.

in the middle of doing all this with loads left on the belt the cashier says " cash or laser" ffs. its all a rush to get people moving as quick as they can.
So I was getting pissed off with this one day that I deliberately took my time, I mean I went really slow like I had an illness, I could see the girl getting really uncomfortable , even when I went to pay , I spent an extra few mins rooting for change to just piss her off .
Tesco for me with out doubt! FU Aldi!Her sky-ness

Originally posted by Trippie View PostI would say that the top level of most sports has roughly the same amount of PED's in them, NFL are only starting to test for HGH next season, testing is non existent in soccer & tennis as I said before, athletics well lols to that. Look at the change in physique in the modern day pro rugby player, yet cycling gets a bad rep because it addresses the issue unlike those above. Even without the positive tests its obvious enough most of the peleton are using and I really dont have a problem with that however to say one sport is isolated in its drug abuse is naive imo.
I would not be incorrect in saying cycling is and has been doped up to the gills.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

driving to tesco + 1-2 hours in store + packing at shop + driving home + unpacking from bags & putting away in fridge etc = well worth a fiver.
Shopping is delivered when it suits me, is delivered straight to my kitchen worktop & all I have to do is put the stuff away. Seems like a value for money service imo.

Originally posted by Michelle SatNav View PostGRRR I absolutely hate Aldi. If you have a trolley of shopping its a nightmare as you must swing the trolley into where they sit, it fits snugly more or less up against the cashier. They throw the stuff at you at 90 miles an hour, You are not allowed to put the shopping in bags, only bunged into the trolley and then move over to the window sill and repack into your bags.
