    I'm probably repeating (not sure yet) I don't know why I'm thinking of joining Facebook.....I just am.....but then again it seems sort of pointless.

    It is pretty much pointless. I'd put off joining as long as possible.




    Note:My opinion of FB may be soured because it makes checking up on people from your past far too easy... :(
    Also, general question for anyone, I'm turning 19 in March next year. Will that be crazy old for starting college. :pac:

    19 is pretty standard tbh! Most people in first year would be 18 and half or 19 anyway. Plus, age really starts to become irrelevant in college. Some of the lads that are the most craic in my classes are in their 30's FFS. :pac:

    Some Apps simply can't be moved to SD card. Try downloading a file manager like ASTRO or APPS2SD which will let you move some stuff around.

    The camera should automatically store everything on SD, and apps are automatically stored on internal AFAICT.

    I'm flying to Holland from Dublin at 7.30 tomorrow morning. With my sleeping pattern, this should be quite awkward.

    Generally apps that require some internal features need to stay on the phone such as phonebook, gmaps and bookface for some ungod known reason. Can't be moved or deleted. photos should go to your sd card believe me make sure they go to your sd card. They eat up the most room on the phone. I've notice that apps (60 on my phone) only take up 2% of my memory while photos are eating up the other 95% still trying to find out where I've lost it. But I will tell u this as I found out yesterday if ur phone only has 512mb and most of ur apps are staying on ur phone ur just looking for trouble. 10 apps was the most I could get out of a htc desire a lot of memory is being lost to thin air.

    Sorry wnolan its not pointed at u. I just deleted the semi comment .

    Thanks dude and wnolan! I guess it is one the reasons why its such a cheap phone!
    How do you check if the photos are being stored internal or external? :)

    Go into your SD card folder, if you have a folder called DCIM in there, it's working. :)

    I'm genuinely sad about Neil Armstrong's death. I normally don't get sad about the deaths of people I don't know. If you have ever felt sad about some singer's death but feel nothing of this then you are a bad person.

    It's really quite sad to think the guy who is the symbol for human space exploration is now gone.

    When you think about what he did, it's just staggering.

    Why :( What has good ald joe(not duffy) done to ya? Its a mans site. men dont whine about stuff..... specially man stuff.

    WHOOOOOOOOOSSSHHH!*






    *Either you read far more into my lame attempt at a pun on Joe Duffy's "Talk to Joe" line, or I read your post with a far more serious tone than intended. So apply the "whoosh" as required. :P

    Well you do know that there is a JOE.ie? Hence my confusion to Mr Duffy. Mr Duffy already has his side of boards. a very depressing side of boards. Known as the live line mega thread. where one shalt not dare wonder unless your irish and from dublin and on the dole and the world hates you and you have 23 kids 400 grandkids and own a nokia brick. :pac: But you were correct that it was a very serious sad tone. you had a tear to my eye thinking someone was going to destroy the reputation of Joe.ie :pac:

    Watched the US Version of the Inbetweeners. Found it funny that i knew every line but the locations where different. the acting was terrible cause they were copied lines. but all in all it was a good laugh to laugh at the failure of it. strangely though i'll be watching all the rest of the episodes.

    I semi enjoyed it but didn't laugh once, just wasn't funny at all really.

    I've now watched four or five episodes of the original series as well as the film. Think it's ridiculously overrated if I'm honest, I got bored of the constant "I'd do your mum!"-type exchanges pretty fast.

    Peep Show has a similar amount of filth/sleaze/"gross out" humour but executes it so much better. It shits all over it, so to speak.

    The film was very overrated. People saying it was the best film of the year and all that sh1te. It was alright, nothing special, not as good as the shows.

    I found the shows hilarious on first viewing, and some jokes are still great, but it's very much diminishing return with each viewing. The show definitely doesn't have the staying power of the great C4 comedies.

    The TV series is great. Has a fantastic witty energy about it.

    The film is nowhere near as good and poor in comparison.

    +1

    Series is fantastic, film was ridiculously over-rated. I don't think the series has gotten old or unoriginal either. The 3rd series was just as well written and funny as the 1st in my opinion. The US version was a stupid idea and will more than likely ruin it for everyone. :pac:

    Watching scary ghost stuff in the dark... this one by far has creeped me out... just wondering is that how house fires can start.

    Didnt put the vid in case some you may not believe and some may not like to see:pac: but if i though most haunted was staged.... ive been proven wrong now..:pac:

    I keep having dreams within dreams. I wake up, only to be still dreaming. Then when I actually wake up I'm convinced that what was happening was real.

    This is happening a lot lately and it's starting to get irritating.

    Apparently in my sister's histroy class in college, a mature student started shouting in a lecture about how Neil Jordan wanted to skew the movie by casting Rickman as Dev. :pac:

    Never realised that. Another thing I learned today is that Henry Ford was an anti-semite, and published booklets such as 'The International Jew - The world's foremost problem'!

    I live near where his grandfather was born, and they're sure to keep that little piece of information nice and quiet :P

    If I'm not mistaken, Walt Disney was a bit of an anti-semite as well.

    Hard to imagine people who are such icons have a whole other side that is kinda hushed away...

    Yeats is suspected as being autistic too, kinda makes sense! And Einstein had aspergers.

    Woah! I never realised half of these things :P I think there's also some debate about Emily Dickinson being autistic and/or epileptic!

    This is turning into Name the Famous Person's Problem :P

    I know that a lot of people with particular disorders or learning difficulties turn out to be super gifted at certain things, like maths or whatever. There was a program about it on tv (BBC?) not so long ago and I watched about a minute of it and got distracted. Kicking myself since!



    EDIT: No need to kick myself too hard, though! :D Wasn't too hard to find: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lyczl Turns out it's more about autism in general. One of the guys in it studies physics in university so when I saw it first I just assumed it was saying he had a big aul' maths head on him :P Might watch it tomorrow...

    If you google "famous people with autism/epilepsy/other disorder it'll throw up lots of good info. Makes for brilliant reading! Adam Young, the lead singer of Owl City has autism. (I keep banging on about it, but have a particular interest for personal reasons!:p) Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, is also autistic. Other alleged autistics would include James Joyce, Hans Christian Anderson, Mozart, Thomas Jefferson, Isaac Newton....Bill Gates!

    I'll stop now!:o

    Something to do with lack of interest in social situations and fixations on specific items?

    de Valera didn't have autism. He just had a maths degree.

    The lead singer of The Vines, Craig Nicholls, has autism, aspergers to be precise.

    Crazy fucker. Dunno if he's even medically advised to tour anymore.
