19: The number of minutes the meeting with my FYP supervisor lasted.
7: Times I've listened to the new Carrie Underwood album....today
6.50: €'s spend on the student special in Golden Mountain. Beef & Black bean. Mmmmm.

How would you like your first insult of the day?:p

Swiftly followed by my first yellow card of the day

I would genuinely hate for my 15000th post to be in a yellow/red card.

So if you can make the insult humorous/entertaining, you can fire away for free. Just this once.

Cash Converters on Parnell St. I think would do it.


Guys, does anyone have a usb 3.0 cable I could borrow/buy. Looks like this: http://www.lindy.ie/lindyshop/pictures/31892big.jpg

Or know anywhere for definite that I could get one!

PC World, Maplin etc should all stock them. Be way cheaper to order one online though.

They don't AFAIK

And it was the escalaters next to the stairs that go down.

You lazy shyte I just rang PC World and they say they do stock USB 3.0 cables. Girl on the phone says that a Belkin USB 3.0 cable is €19.99 and that there are some generic brands there also.

Nah humorous/entertaining does not work for me. I was thinking along the lines of hugely offensive to the point that it would ignite Boardsie street fights.

Midwest Forum Fight Club.

The first rule of MFFC is local radio can't talk about it.
The second rule of MFFC is the local papers can't talk about it. :pac:

The third rule is nobody gets to know where Kess buries his opponents afterwards.

Time to make a few more calls then.


Harvey Norman (061) 422 800 . €19.99 for a 18m USB 3 cable and the guy who looks after that apartment is called Tony. They have 5 in stock at the moment and the brand is Belkin.


Rang PC World again and was told the same price for a Belkin cable.

The Snipe

18m :O I only need a small one thats only like 1/2 feet


Sure I was asking in Currys in town a few weeks ago and they hadn't even heard of what I was talking about. Despite the fact that I'd bought my harddrive off them originally. He tried to fecking sell me micro USB, Composite cables, HDMI Cables fecking everything!

DaveNoCheese

Alright folks, does anybody know of anywhere around town that buys used electronics? Modems, laptops and few other small bits. Was gonna put them on adverts but said I'll check locally first.

Not expecting top dollar or anything, just wana free up some space

I already told you that HN have them in stock and gave you their phone number and the name of the guy I spoke to on the phone. Phone them and ask them to hold one until you get out there.

And they are 1.8m not 18m. Cheeky little upstart jumping on my mistake. :P

You must be a slow walker if you have to set out that early to get to Harvey Norman.

DaveNoCheese

Anyone know what they're doing there on patrick st? They have scaffolding up the whole length of the buildings there.

hopefully they're dismantling the buildings along there, clear out the opera centre, and then get some proper retail outlets in there with a massive green area park where the buildings on patrick street are now, then get rid of arthurs quay altogether and make it a proper park out on the waterfront...

i like my georgian buildings as much as the next guy but i think they make the city centre look dull without something bright and some life and a buzz about the place like stephens green in dublin.

of course that would require planning twenty years into the future, and LCC cant see any further than the end of their own nose, if the regeneration fiasco is anything to go by!

The buildings are protected Mr. Xavier

five minutes in front of arthurs quay with a bulldozer... just, five, minutes!

is that the buildings on patrick street though snipe that are protected? probably doing restoration work on them so, which frustrates me somewhat because i'd like to see a more modern look to limerick city to breathe new life into it instead of the pervasive sense of dullness and depression...
