    Basically just kept saying it was nothing to do with him, wouldn't say that it was wrong as it was nothing to do with him, basically wouldn't get involved in any form of constructive discussion about it, because as you guessed it, it's nothing to do with him.

    We just had a chat about this over breakfast. Nobody will ever admit voting for him or his dad, nobody knows anyone personally who supports him openly and yet they keep getting the votes time after time after time.

    Shocking, really.

    Could'nt give a flying f**k about these clowns or a mind numbing reality show, but, these calls were paid by the tax payer, made from Leinster House. Thats a complete misuse of public office, indeed I'd go as far to say its corruption. Liveline should be fun today:P

    Anyone tried Google+ yet? I +1 it, seems to bring an awful lot of useful apps together, and its not facebook. My brother described it to me as, " The Circles feature is great though, you can friend people but put them in a 'Ignore' circle and not have to interact or share with them." I love it, if only for the irony.

    On the one hand, you'll never be able to persuade your parents to switch. On the other hand, you'll never be able to persuade your parents to switch!

    I totally do not get facebook. I'm totally baffled how anyone could find it addictive. What's so great about Google+? :confused:

    Its so facebook without actually being facebook:cool:. To be honest i think the main driving force behind it was the rumour that facebook are looking to add a search engine aspect to their site which potentially could ruin google so they countered it by trying to delve into the social interaction aspect.

    It is kind of ironic having a conversation about facebook addiction on an internet forum which many of us visit on daily basis:D

    I only joined it back in January after resisting for so long, and I have exactly two friends. The reason I succumbed is that a lot of events these days post updates and news etc on their facebook page rather than their main website, and for some you can only view them if you're a facebook member. Plus if you follow an event you often find out about similar events via that event so it can be handy that way.

    I've a pile of friend requests just sitting there, they must think I'm an awful ignorant git so I explain to them that I don't actually use it much.

    Anyone looking to run a full marathon on a bridge watch this space!

    Can't do the youtube link thing - just Google "26.4 mile bridge" (that's the length of the bridge, not a marathon!)

    Fixed for you. Just put the code at the end of the YouTube link in the tags.


    Looks flat enough, but a little wind and it could be a disaster!

    Im the opposite to this because of an evil little three words: Late night snacking. Funny enough at 3-4am you always opt for the crisp sandwich over making a nice wrap of something:D

    That bridge was built in just over 4 years. How long would you think it would take for a bridge like that to be built here:D

    Anybody else surf boards on their phone? I do occasionally and this new touch.boards.ie layout is wrecking my head. It's really poor quality and very hard to read posts etc. Any way of getting around using this?

    There is a link at the bottom to select normal view, once you click it once it'll always stay that way on that device unless you clear your cookies

    I prefer it. Although I'd moslty be using the touch.boards.ie on a tablet, not had any major issues on the phone. I would like a few other things tweaking yet such as adding forum links to the bottom of the page, and page links to the top. There is still m.boards.ie if you want really minimalist, but I was previously using the full version of boards.ie in Opera on the phone

    Is there something "magic" in elastoplast that makes scabs dissapear? Got some big scabs on the arm and knee at the moment, but sat around yesterday watching tennis in shorts and I had to put something over them to stop me picking at them. Couple of hours later and the scab has turned to goo.
