Any idea why alot of Irish connections have seemed alot weaker after like 5 months ago. I tried ringing Eircom about it but they assured me nothing was wrong but I know what I was pinging & u/l , d/l before & it is a fairly chunky difference !

Have a gander in the Broadband forum, there are massive threads in relation to this. Eircom fcuked up big style when they upgraded people's speed.

Anyway lads, lets kick Saturday off with some epic choooons. I know most round here are Eminem appreciators, so yis will probably like this. It's an epic tune from his 1996 Album Infinite. I only heard it a couple of weeks ago, and tbh, it's as good as some of his best stuff IMO.

That's some serioulsy good production considering it was pre-Dre and made on an absolute shoestring.

Saturday "kicked off" six damn hours ago, you absolute cnut.

Also, you are being even more cnutish by putting up 'tube vids, knowing full well I can neither watch or listen to them in work.

Morning ladies.
Mate wants me to go to some girls birthday with him tonight. I know her but really not bothered and I'd be 90% sure all of her friends are tossers.
Instead gonna go to my other mates house, recline in his ridiculously comfortable leather couch and watch the football with a few beers.

Falcons @ Cardinals
Colts @ Chargers

Second game will be a dinger

Saturday kicks off when I roll out of the scratcher, end off.

Is there any form of media streaming you can view/listen to. I'll have a root around for ya to see if I can dig it up elsewhere, as I think you'll like it.

I love the NFL season this time of year.

Sounds like you're making the right choice Laura. Nothing worse then going somewhere you know will be sh/t, and then thinking to yourself when you get there 'you fcuking mong, you knew this would be cack'.

Also, steller work on organizing the game. Like I said, still not sure if i'll be able to make it on the day, but if I can, i'll be there with Betty and Al cheering yis on.

Has Neil been around lately?

ShiverinEskimo · 03-01-2009 2:03pm

I've started watching some NFL. So far it's a drinking man's game. 5 seconds of action followed by about 2/3 mins of drinking and chattin with your mates.

Once you get a good grip of the rules though, you don't really notice those gaps, and you begin to appreciate each play.

Don't think so. PM'd him about the game to ask if he wanted to play but haven't heard anything back from him.

Don't think he has been on here since the 29th, which would be unusual for himself. Hope everything is alright with him.

Fair point. I decided to sit down and study it and pick up some of the rules. I get the general gist of it but still have learn about what player is what position etc - for me it's "linebacker - wtf is a linebacker?"

Ignore Des. He's just sucking lemons because he's in work, whilst he knows the rest of us are plonked on the couch at home, watching Jeff and the boys, with unrestricted access to the 'Tube.

Why do people ring me when they have a screaming fúcking child in the background.

Then have a go at ME because they can't hear me.

Fúcking idiots.

and lol.

Just speaking to some bint in the 'mun, had to ask her if she had the instruction manual for the new laptop.

"It never came with one". :rolleyes:

Suuuure it didn't.

Try in the house it was nicked from.

I hate screaming children.
Some woman came into work on Xmas Eve with three kids, one of which was in a buggy.
Now anyone who has ever been in an offo on Xmas eve will appreciate how busy it is. She parks the buggy with screaming child in the middle of the floor, blocking everyone, then proceeds to browse for 15 minutes.
Fair enough if she wants to buy something, but could she not appreciate she was inconveniencing everyone else?
Stupid women...

Charlie · 03-01-2009 3:20pm

I just found a box of 32 of these in the back cupboard.

The mammy must have gotten them in for Xmas and forgotten all about them. YOINK!

This Saturday just gets better and better.

They go nicely with...tea.

How do you lot drink yer tea?

Me?

Black, no sugar.

NEVER, EVER squeeze the teabag if making a single cup, it releases chemicals called tannins that make the tea bitter.

NEVER, EVER give me that Barry's shíte.

I much prefer making a pot of tea, even if I only fancy one cup. But then again. One cup of tea is never enough.

The best dipping biscuits are Hob Nobs. I also adore Chocolate Rich Tea.

No sugar.
Tiny bit of milk, although the parents have been away the last week and there was no milk in the house so I've been drinking it black.

_blank_ · 03-01-2009 3:28pm

Once you go black, you never go back.

I went black because I used to work in an office that only ever got Avonmore milk. I can't stand the stuff.

I LOVE a cold pint of Premier Dairies Blue milk.

Any variety I want depending on how much I would like to keep my job. Which fluctuates between barely and kind of.

Squeezing teabags is an act of the devil. Idiots think it's makes it stronger likes its an orange your squeezing for juice. Cretins.

Classic. I'm the exact same. Only PD will do. My family/friends make out that there is no different in taste, but Avenmore has a very 'plastic' taste off it, if that makes sense.

Aye. Great stuff indeed. Not a big darts man myself, but it's hard not to get cauht up in the world championship.

Sorry Des about the 'tubage.
