I guess it's some sort of attention seeking. No problem enjoying something or not enjoying it. I just get chills when it needs to be proclaimed to the world how you felt about something I personally know they're not association with.

Probably best to stay quiet then too, lest you want something to be thrown at you again.

Nah you're grand. People who have no interest in any sport types who go on about it.

I was AWOL for a few months this year so may have missed something, but what happened to CMPunked and Pete Campbell?

Angron

Well CMPunked submitted predictions for the comp last night, so I'd say he's probably just busy with RL. Pete, I haven't a clue.

Saggy Bottom?

Yep

Bounty Hunter

he was also Rafa's wrinkly ballbag iirc but we have had enough conversations about Flah recently seing as he no longer posts here.

GTR63

Lads if you order off Amazon & your are not around when they deliver where would they leave the delivery? (Neighbour or post office?)
Have to do some Christmas shopping but i`m only at home after 7 these days

gerTheGreat

They deliver via An Post. An Post will leave a note telling you to go to the nearest depo to collect it. If you haven't placed the order yet, consider shipping it to your place of work (if that's an option).

DM_7

Or parcel motel

Where did flah go. Anyone hear from gerard c?

If you buy stuff from overseas, what's the maximum you can spend without being charged for taxes/customs when the postman comes knocking?

cena

If it is brought within the EU you'll be fine. I once paid shy over a hundred for a ice hockey jersey and I had to pay 50 euro custom.

It well depend on what you spend

Sorry I should have been more clear, it's from the states.

50 Euro custom for one jersey? :eek:

cena

Well worth the 50 euro. They last for years.

It all depends what you spend. If you spend 20 euro your fine.

could you the thing sent over here as a marked gift. You'll be fine than

Technically if the item is VAT of 23% here then the cut off limit is currently €26.08, this value includes postage too. (you will hear people say the limit is €22 but they officially do not bother collecting unless its at least €6)

However higher value items often get through. I once got items worth over €350 sent to work with no charge,

Yeah, that was an appalling one all right.

Are Pokemon X & Y as complicated as they sound?

Played none of W1, B2 or W2 and only a little of B1. Last game I played properly was Platinum.

Angron

I don't think so :pac: If you are doing competitive, it can get confusing, sure, but if you're just looking to play the game and not do competitions or whatever, it's fine.

Just seems like so much new stuff and I havent even looked at the new battle types yet! :pac:

No chance of going the competitive route, people take that stuff way too seriously. I mean just general gameplay. I dont give a fcuk about IV's and EV's and whatnot. Not even sure how to work them out, let alone what's good and what's bad.

Was reading up on Serebii to try to figure out a starter and then I got all confused

Angron

The main new battle stuff is the new type, Fairy, and triple/rotation battles that were introduced in Gen V. There's also sky battles, but they rarely come up (there's like 5 of them that I remember) and you just need a pokemon that can fly for that.

Lord TSC

Pokemon ain't confusing at all. Primarily, it's aimed at kids so it's not like it's super complicated on a core level. Unless you go competitive (and I agree with you on how undesirable that is), there's nothing that will tax you at all.

Speaking of games...



Skyrim complete with DLC for 13 quid. Prison Architect for 12. Sleeping Dogs for 5. Jesus, as if Xmas wasn't killing my wallet already.

Well don't forget you still have the Xmas sale as well. Also I hope you're keeping an eye on all the Black Friday deals on places like Amazon. Then GMG sent me a mail saying they'll be having a sale starting tomorrow.
I know I'm not helping.

Speaking of pokemon, how about an updated Pokerap

Another story which made me feel physically sick today, and a bit closer to home, is about a horse being doused in petrol and set alight near the Luas line in Tallaght yesterday.

Disgusting c*nts.

Why? So us tax payers can work to provide them with playstations and tv. Douse them in petrol and set them on fire

While I agree that our jails are virtually a hotel, I dont agree with setting them on fire.


15 years of unpaid hard labour doing the jobs no one else wants to do is the only justifiable outcome, like some prisons in the states do. That would send a message to those wasters who contribute nothing to society but lounge about all day causing trouble.

Know there is no PW talk but where is Shemo this weather?

Would be great to see him pop up on the toyshow?

Pretty sure he is back in America.

Arjen Robben bumping like Ziggler -

He was tweeting pics of himself and drew hanging about in the gym from Cenas pre Mania Rock match video, so must be in america

Lord TSC

Paul Walker, star of the Fast and the Furious films, has died in a car crash in America.

Genuinely stunned. Loved the films. Gutted by the news.

EdK

Know very little about Paul Walker but he just struck me as a genuinely nice guy sad that two people are dead in a cruel irony

rovert

Strong recommendation on this:

GTR63

Takes some effort & creativity to be as unapologetically bad as Liverpool today, bravo lads

RIP

Diabhal Beag

If any good comes from this sad situation I really feel like I've made a difference by liking his RIP Page.

Seriously though the pictures from the crash are scary.

Angron

Just curious, what else was he in besides Fast and the Furious?

He did a ton of movies, but FATF was by far the biggest of the lot. Most of the others I never even heard of, but he has a lot to his name.

Running Scared is a very good film and he was the douchebag in She's All That

Alright lads, hope this is OK, just trying to spread awareness about what happened to my mates dog over the weekend. Basically their dog was ripped apart by hounds on an unadvertised hunt.

Bounty Hunter

Feel like I am about ten years late working this stuff out but whats the deal with buying off Ebay? fully reliable etc? It wouldn't be a risk to get someones Christmas present this way would it? Was considering getting the missus a sealed Iphone 5 (even though the thing is far too expensive and she already spends far too much time using her phone - which has been about to die for ages) after being shown they were a couple of hundred cheaper this way, although I would guess it would come minus a warranty etc for sure

Check the seller out and their feedback, would be a good place to start.

I only use it now and then but no drama yet.

jaykhunter

I'm sorry to hear that DQ. Horrible stuff.

BH, definitely check the feedback first and ratings. I'd be reluctant to buy such an expensive item on eBay, I'd buy it off Adverts and meet up in person. That way I can check it for a few minutes before buying. You'd be out of luck for a warranty but there's great savings to be had. Reliability is only relative to the individual. It'd be pulling teeth trying to get a refund if you're screwed. I'm sure you'll be fine. If the saving isn't that much, buy it from apple!

Bounty Hunter

yeah thats my concern it's just too big (expensive) an item for me to feel comfortable buying it in this way although it is literally a couple of hundred cheaper that way

CastorTroy

But then you have to wonder why it's so much cheaper.
