Anyone watching Children in Need tonight? It's usually a good show (I watch it mainly for the Doctor who skit and the music)

Didn't even know it was on >_<

Ah well, I've taken to Youtubing the Dr. Who bits anyway nowadays. (<3 JLC).

Dumb question but is there any reason why Jayk and Bounty both have Hunter in their names?

Lol! BH said his was from Magic the Gathering. It's been my username for over a decade, from the days of the IRC chatrooms. It's a Triple H reference from ~2000. And also the mutant frogs in Resident Evil 1 (called Hunters)

Gwan the BH! Here's to 12k more!

BH is right, this is probably the best run forum on boards. Everyone who posts here is knowledgeable and articulate, this is my only real resource for wrestling news and discussion. There never seems to be any of the nastiness that you see elsewhere on the site.

Due to us all being so passionate however, I feel that the potential for murder could be high. Does anyone know how many episodes into season 5 Sons Of Anarchy is at the moment?

jaykhunter

I don't visit dirtsheets anymore either. Anything worth knowing is posted here on the board

Sons are 10 episodes in if you're keeping with the states.

Like jayk said, 10th episode was this week. But the 10th episode and the rest of the episodes this season are longer than the rest. So full running time of an episode is usually 45-50 minutes, but these last few episodes are about an hour long.

More Sons of Anarchy is never a bad thing (unless it's Season 3 SOA, which was just awful)

Stereomaniac

That's just your opinion. I liked it. Where do you watch it? I've just about caught up and am wondering what day/where I can watch the next one. Cheers for the responses guys.

Diabhal Beag

I missed all the first season, most of the second and I already think the Walking Dead is one of the 5 best shows I've ever seen.

That's why. Season 2 really dragged the show down. It's really turned a corner this season though. Fantastic stuff so far.

Stereomaniac

I have yet to watch that actually, people keep telling me to. So much stuff, so little time!

Bounty Hunter

I'm not sure if your still talking about SOA (just watched S05E10 myself having watched them all through for the first time during the past few weeks) or Walking dead now but Personally I havent thought there has been a weak season in SOA and its actually one of very few shows that seems to have almost no filler bits in episodes. It airs on a Tuesday stateside iirc so should be available on Wednesday through any reputable (fully legal of course) source.

now that im up to date with SOA ive started rewatching Louis theroux's wild weekends, already seen the Wrestling, Gangsta Rap Chris Eubank & Thai Brides eps, really is a great watch, though having just seen some clips of it I would say the Jimmy Saville one might take on a whole new context now

I believe its GTR always in here lamenting Liverpool/Meelan performances, well just be glad your not a Villa fan! Even when we seem to be playing some decent football I witness one of the most bizarre penalty calls I can recall, heads drop and then four more goals are conceded inc another penalty! not fun viewing to say the least.

Yeah im like many others here now, virtually 100% of all my PW news comes directly from PW boards (live events etc being the obvious exception)

Diabhal Beag

Massive babyface turn by the T-rex in the first Jurassic Park is a great example of keeping things simple and having a slow build.

To summarise: JP does pro-wrestling better than pro-wrestling. Also has better music.

Pity that the T-Rex got jobbed out like Zack Ryder in JP3 though......

I was talking about Walking Dead. Sons Of Anarchy is the greatest show today.

That was after the boom period. Wins and losses mean nothing anymore in the Dinosaur Entertainment biz. Is Vince Russo booking????

Stereomaniac

I'm hoping for a return to form in the new one, which is rumored to be getting written currently.

3am and I'm wide awake. Didn't watch Survivor Series as I intended to go asleep. From reading the thread it sounds like I'd have had a better chance of falling asleep had I watched it!

Nice to know Russo is keeping himself busy. Kudos on the ADP avatar btw.
Anybody start or finish the Christmas shopping yet?

starviewadams

I usually go Christmas shopping on Christmas eve morning,quickly get pissed off at the busyness of shops,go the pub,get drunk,stalk Glen Hansard and whoever he's playing with on Grafton St,and end up giving people €20 in a card on Christmas day.

It's a good system.

Yes because I only buy presents for 1 person and it was all done on Amazon and ebay

Lord TSC

I'm having major problems thinking of something for my brother this year >_<

Diabhal Beag

My exams take up a lot of December so I'll have to leave it till the Friday before Christmas like a mong. I'm a voucher man unless I have a great idea for a present.

Cannot wait for the 12 pubs though.

My dad's is ordered and due to arrive this week, my brother gets xbox live so just need something for the mammy now.

****ing customs. Just got hit with a 28€ charge on some t-shirts I ordered from Rooster Teeth in America. 22% added on the value.

jaykhunter

Damn, that's quite a sting. Scumbag customs tax. How much was your order? IIRC it's quite a low threshold to be stung by it. As if P&P and wait times aren't bad enough!

Stepped out for an hour, wouldn't you know my amazon package arrived while I was out. Now I gotta go through dodgy-ville to the post office a bit later.

gnfnrhead

I won't order something online unless it says free P&P or at least has a very low one. Don't mind waiting longer if it saves money.

Lord TSC

In fairness, the nature of the shirts was I couldn't get them anywhere else. The Rooster Teeth site has become mine and my brother's favorite site, and I know the stuff I got him for Xmas from it will go down amazingly well. I don't mind paying for them, I just wish you got more notice than a postman arriving on your doorstep holding your items to ransom as you stand there freezing in your pants :P

GTR63

So DiMatteo got the bullet. But the real question must be how Mark Hughes hasn't.

gnfnrhead

The Chelsea job would be the best job in the world to get. Just go through the motions and you'll get a massive pay off regardless of what happens. AVB did rubbish and got sacked, RDM won the double and got sacked about six months later! Get a nice contract at the start and you'll be sorted.

What happens if you refuse to pay the postman? Do the products get returned to sender, or just destroyed?

Bloody hell. I just won the Premier League with QPR after three seasons. Maybe I should start applying for these jobs.

Did it once for the Sunderland job when Keane left but never got an answer :pac:

Word of warning to PC gamers; apparently a Steam sale starts tonight and runs for the week.

If you've got 15€ to spare, I'll recommend this again; GET THE WALKING DEAD GAME! Last part came out this morning, and from a story point of view, it's easily my game of the year right now....

I was watching them for a good while before I ever seen their faces. I think it was as far back as it was just jack and geoff doing them but I found it very strange when I seen what they looked like. Twas weird!

Lord TSC

I was watching Red vs Blue for years before I actually realised they had their own site. A friend threw the first few seasons on a disc and told me to watch it.

Now, I've got the Rooster Teeth videos, the Acheivement Hunter videos, AND I'm trying to get through 150+ Podcasts :P

I want to work for them

Ah here, why all the Gavin hate. Always makes me laugh, usually because he has a great ability to set up jokes from others. He tends to make the Minecraft LPs for me.
