Chuggers. I actually feel sorry for the people that do it. It must be so so difficult to be that annoying for 8 whole hours.
Ship another job interview, I must at least be offered one of these yokes. Fingers crossed!

"ACF Fiorentina announces that it missed the acquisition of the player Dimitar Berbatov after we had reached an agreement with Manchester United and a verbal understanding with the player on a contract.
"During today the English club had granted him written permission to travel to Florence for a medical and to sign a contract. The player - accompanied by his agent - embarked on a flight to Florence with tickets paid for by the club.
"But the player never arrived in Florence because of reckless and arrogant actions of other clubs which have nothing to do with the values of honesty, fair play and sporting ethics which lie beyond the boundaries of loyalty.
"As for the player, notwithstanding his characteristics and technical merit, at this point we are happy that he did not come to Fiorentina as he is not worthy of our city, our shirt and the values it represents."
Genuinely a novice at sports betting. The odd €20 on the grand national or the odd tenner on golfers in the majors is the limit of my experience.
However.....
Won about $800 dollars in a poker tournie the night before the Donegal/Kerry quarter final and because I'm a devoted fan I stuck €500 on Donegal to win the all-ireland at 13/2.
Now: Donegal 8/13
Dublin 2/1
Mayo 11/2
So obviously if Donegal win the final I get €3,750, if not I get nothing.
My question is what bets should I place now to get the max profit, risk free or should I wait till after the Dublin Mayo match.
Any advice appreciated.
Up Donegal!
not sure if this is any good to you but boyles are offering 4/1 about dublin to win the a.i.,max 50 euro and has to be a first time text bet.
Saw em both as well today strangely enough. Poor old Total Recall never stood a chance after The Imposter, gripping is the right word, fact really is stranger than fiction sometimes, highly recommend!

Interesting hand on a cash table last night . "2 players get it all in pre with JJ vs 1010
Flop : 789
Turn : J .
At which point the player with the JJ starts girating not realising that it gave the other lad the straight .
The lad with the straight is quick to point this out and started fistpumping and calling the other lad a silly dopey bastard for not noticing .
He was still at it when the dealer put the J up on the river . Not realising he had lost he went to pull the pot in while still goading the other lad , needless to say he wasn't too pleased when it was pointed out to him as the JJ lad mooned him .
That explains why the site was down all last night.
Kayroo missed a trick last night

This is very timely as I was looking at buying some new pots and pans. Ideally I would be buying LeCreuset but they are very dear. The one Tefal pan I have is excellent quality so I am drawn to these? I am typically sceptical of the deal sites - any views on this one Tefal Pots + Pan - good value, bad value, other?
I would advise keeping an eye on TK MAXX as I have been assured by my mother that they get top of the line gear in to the kitchenware department at knock down prices.
She has bought knives, pots, pans and all manner of other utensils but just picks them up piecemeal as they turn up. She has been known to spend big on cookware and owns a big LeCrueset cast Iron pot and skillet which she bought years back but likes a bargin if its available.
Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ banned from Penn State football games over ‘touching you’ lyric
NEIL Diamond’s classic hit ‘Sweet Caroline’ has been banned at all of Penn State’s football games in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, it has been reported.
Sandusky is a former Penn State football coach who was convicted in June of multiple charges of sexual abuse over a 15 year period.
Diamond’s classic hit had long been played as part of the sing-along during the football games, however sources have told the Altoona Mirror that school management became uncomfortable with its continued use due to the “reaching out, touching me, touching you” lyrics.
Penn State officials also confirmed to the paper that the song has been pulled from the playlist at the games.
However David La Torre, a school spokesman, has denied that the lyrics played any role in their decision to pull the song.
"The song has come up on the list in recent years because it happens to be played in so many other professional and collegiate venues and has no real origination here at Penn State," La Torre told ESPN.
Penn State was fined $60m (€48m) in July over allegations that several school officials attempted to hide Sandusky's actions.
Would people here be interested in a nutrition/Health and Fitness thread, much like Ollies one about male fashion.
There's a tonne of questions asked daily about Health, Fitness and Nutrition which usually elicit a good informative answer from the posters who are interested in this stuff but it sometimes gets lost in the noise of the BBV. Most people find the info beneficial but might not see the actual post.
I'm thinking a thread where we can post blogs, studies, sites we find decent regarding the topic, where people who are looking to get their asses in shape can ask questions and get an answer noise free to help them along and where people can get a dig out with their workouts and stuff?
On the other hand, I guess it dilutes the BBV moreso but I think the benefits to the community would outweigh the negatives. There are quite a few posters here that are up to date, or knowledgeable in the area.
Thoughts?

Pots and pans are a big deal.
Non stick is only for frying pans and baking trays IMO.
Heavy bottomed stainless steel or copper pots if you can afford them.
Get a steel wok for €12 from the Asia market and spend an evening burning it in and you will have 80% of your cooking utensil needs sorted.

I need a new wok, my one has had 4 years of hard cooking and is starting to look a bit worse for wear. Asia market place off the Kylemore you were on about before?

Absolutely. Plenty of discussion in individual threads in the logs forum, but a general thread covering everything in the area would be great I think.
On a related topic to the above, It's been a couple of weeks since I've been at the gym myself, and have talked myself out of it today
Tomorrow I'll hopefully get back into it though.
I had also planned to play the Fitz eom tonight, but I really can't be bothered to do that either. Poker has lost 97% of it's allure to me over the last 18 months or so I'd say.

Yeah I went back to the gym, after 7 months boozing daily on a desert island, for the first yesterday.
Was looking forward to it though. Needed that feeling of not being an utterly useless pisshead.
Ditto on the poker too, played in the jackers hammered last saturday, its just not the same.

Unless you have a preference on who you are sure Donegal will play in the final . . . Just wait until that match is over.
If it is Dublin then you will get close to evens on either team lifting it. If Mayo then Donegal will be 1/2 to lift the trophy.
Depending on how much money you want to "bank" you just do the math then. Bear in mind also that betfair for once should be your friend for a liquid all ireland market, esp if dublin are there!

Ended up in The Fitz for some sunday night cash the first time in 5 years a few weekends ago, even though I finished the Night up E300 it was a profoundly depressing experience. The same people , sitting in the same seats, with the same fkn bullshit stories about what they folded, what they would have had if they hadnt folded, Intricate details of some 10BB deep non event of an exit hand from some shitty tourney etc etc. Felt a bit dirty walking out

Anyone got any good recommendations on reasonably priced restaurants that have good Irish food in the city centre?
I've been to Gallagher's Boxty House in Temple Bar a couple times and it's pretty good decent enough value too.
Looking for other options

You going or them going?
If you are leaving they buy you something so dont worry and if they are leaving than let some one else organise it and stick cash into the kitty.
Minotaur surely, even an anthropomorphised bull wouldn't have the reversible thumbs needed to throw darts, so he must have been half man, half bull.
There was only one Minotaur. It's not like a Centaur or a Nymph where classical literature and fiction refer to them either as a species or as there being more than one. The Minotaur was a unique creature in mythology. It's only in modern times that we have used the term generically to mean "half man, half bull".
Conceptually it would be like any large lake based creature being referred to as "A Loch Ness Monster" whereas, axiomatically, there can be only one.

I'm leaving. Think I'll just get a box of Roses or something, save the hassle of going to a bakery. Always been the norm here for the person leaving to bring something in whether it be cake or what not, and the rest to split the cost of another cake!

Well in that case I guess get whatever you recon. Perhaps people have left the offices I worked in on different circumstances.
Either useless and fired or traitor and left for the competition. Cake is inappropriate in either case I guess.
I have been watching stuff on the laptop recently through the TV just using a normal monitor cable. The thing works fine except the sound still comes through the laptop and not the TV. This means I have to hook it up to the surround sound which is not ideal.
Is there an easy way to rectify this? Am I just not clicking something on the tele/laptop?
