Seems like a nice bloke, I thought it was funny when he wouldn't give his friend's names

When he said he was from the UK the cop asked "What part, Scotland, Ireland?"..

Anyone else think the HD channels on BT Sport are not up to scratch?
Just caught the end of the Liverpool game there and it doesn't look up to the quality of Sky or ESPN in my opinion.

Marty McFly

Whats people opinions? Is Setanta and BT worth the 20 quid a month? Im alread paying a fair whack for Sky so trying to think If I can justify it.

Would be nice to watch the first proper Arsenal pre season game today.

I have some gimp doing the same. I beat him at FIFA and he wanted a replay because he said I was lucky, so I beat him twice after. Now he is monitoring my results and messages me when I lose. Apparently playing with the same team and formation is cheating and I'm a 1 trick pony.

He messaged me at 4am this morning so I played him again with a team/formation I've never used and won again. He told me to go rape my ma

I hope he is gone now

My guy went 6-13 in a game on Battlefield 3. Teabagged me like all the cool 35 year old kids do. Messaged him after winning saying nice score pal. He lost it. Must have Googled my PSN, even went to the trouble of creating a second Twitter account to follow me.

I already had Setanta so it's only an extra €3 for me so I suppose it's worth that for 2 or 3 games a week instead of the 1 game Setanta themselves had.
Plus there's Europa League the GAA and UFC if you're into that.

The HD looks fine actually for the Arsenal game, must have been just the Liverpool one.

Yeh I gave in and got it, is a bit steep but I hate relying on dodgy recipes for games.

The HD seems fine for me coverage so far is better then ESPN's imo.

But the score on the bottom left just looks weird.

It does look strange alright. They had a little player cam screen flash up just above the score a few times in the Liverpool game, not a fan of that, or Ian Darke's commentary, never shuts up about the English national team.

:pac: did they have the novelty pitch for dissecting the game after the Liverpool game? It's a bit daft really.

There's some f**king idiots on the road in this country. On the motorway and this gobshìte who was pulled up in the hard shoulder decides to rejoin the traffic in the left lane from a dead stop. What the actual f**k does be going through people's heads doing stuff like this?

Some people are nuts I have seen people on reversing up the hard shoulder because they missed there exit, seen one guy mount the kerbed exit to get across after he missed his and recently some bloke in a Audi R8 drive along the M50 in the furthest right lane, at over 100km an hour for about half an hour on a flat tyre only pulling into the hard shoulder when eventually the tyre seperated from the alloy and began free wheeling down the M50 bringing the M50 to a crawl as cars drove behind this tyre I was the car directly behind him had to throw on the hazards immediately.

I'm still fuming over it. I was half thinking about ramming him back into the hard shoulder :pac:
He's lucky it was a rental car and would have cost me.

I havent got the temperament for driving any more. The amount of this ****e that goes on is unbelievable. How some people get a licence is beyond me.

Red Crow

One of the lads I know has failed his driving test 9 times in the last 4 years!

There really should be a limit on how many times you can fail before you're told that the road isn't for you!

The_Kew_Tour

ouch!!!

Al Capwned

Serious problem with no motorway instruction for learner drivers in this country - then as soon as you pass your test you can drive away on a motorway....
Some of the things I come across on motorways are just mental.

And leathers, on that note, a few weeks ago when Ireland was like St. Tropez seen a few younger guys on smaller bikes, 250's and the like, wearing shorts and t-shirts, I was just thinking of the skin graft potential if they had an off, ouch.

Yeah I've done that on my 650. Thailand it was just shorts and flip flops, not even a helmet. Silly I know

GavRedKing

I can imagine the humidity there though is pretty unreal no matter what time of the year so its somewhat understandable.

Its one of the luxuries and one of the reasons, IMO, that car drivers can be a tad more wreckless, we're protected by the car and airbags and seatbelts, a biker has one off and it could be game over, I've huge respect for bikers on the road anyway.

Anyone else play Words With Friends, I remember playing someone here a few months ago then got bored of it, I'm back now

Only in summer, during winter I'd rather the bus than any sort of motorcycle.

Only if it snows, rest is fine. Although I do remember I could barely use the clutch lever one cold morning thanks to my cheap gloves.

I am indeed, as bad as Dublin Bus is, its far better than buses in Galway. I'm in college in Dublin, and the most I've waited for a bus was about 25-30 minutes, I've often waited 40 minutes for a bus in Galway, and I've waited over an hour twice or three times. Ye don't know how well ye have it!!
That said, I still hate the bus, luckily I'm on the Dart line in Dublin.
