    Dont think ID can be trusted these days between the last Quake , Brink and Rage all mediocre games really.
    I feel Bethesda is going down this route a bit Skyrim for me didnt have the long term appeal of oblivion or morrowind

    Ok, so you have negative things to say about Ireland, Irish drinking laws, Irish driving laws, people in tracksuits, cyclists, northsiders, the franciscan well, mahon point cinema, heaven pizza, speeding laws and I could go on. How about trying to post something positive next time?


    in other news - did any other boards people do the 21 bridges of Cork walk this morning? Ainu and I did - it was great fun. Lovely weather for it too. I reckon there was a good 300 people at it.

    Last chance for pictures then! Looks kinda cool parked up there - but I guess it is not really a monument to success...

    Do you find strange that I have a problem with burnt food and I'm mentioning it here? Well, I don't. Same with other things... It is a fact, that I said few negative things here and there in short period of time so your impression is right, but it is really just an impression. I do find plenty of good things when going through the "same s$%t, different day" process but we are on internet here, which means that people tend to discuss negative things which are they experiencing in life. I simply won't start a thread called: "Today no one knocked me off my bike on South Ring", or ''I drove from G-braher to Donnybrook and back without being threatened by any lame-a#@ driver". I'm presenting here my opinons and it is my right - and fact, that they are (at the moment) all negative is a coincidence which you obviously don't like. If I will have a good breakfast tomorrow I will mention it here.

    TBH, you're invited to a dead end town physically and then asked to park on Mount Everest and make your way down and back up on foot.

    Not for the feint hearted and not for the mother with buggy and family hanging on. George is making commercials for the Enable Ireland, they are rich enough to afford his fees and put him up in luxury for a week or two, but I'm sure I'd have been staking out the local airport just on the off chance, must check the 'Irish Media' :)

    Either it went out of business or moved to MacCurtain St.

    And that George Clooney thing was a joke that got wildly out of control!
