I post in the ladies lounge forum, hockey and after hours. Dumb stuff for after hours gets posted.

Dont understand why fellas post in a womens forum.

AH runs by a formula

1. Person makes post about something
2. First replyis someone making a smart ass comment looking for thanks
3. Posts 3-15 are people think they are making the first comment looking for thanks
4. OP trys to get it back on topic
5. Lose interest.

The soccer forum I only look at LOI threads nowadays. The level of poster elsewhere has become insufferable. I gave up on "match threads" a long time ago. Truly the worst threads on boards.

I think I've only ever posted in the Soccer forum during the WC, never applied for access properly at any rate. I might apply to post in LOI now that my local team has gotten promoted.

I have asked to get access for the soccer forum to post something and I never do it.

I could be totally wrong but from my bit of reading AH their seems to be women giving out about sexiest and men are giving out about reverse sexism that they can't get jobs cause they are men or something.

You summed it up better than I ever could. It's such awful to read on both sides of the coin and they both stoop to each other's levels. Does fighting for woman's equality have to be such dirge to read?

Yes. It's the internet where everyone knows better than everyone else! Nothing can get settled in this anonymous format. Or mostly in the public format either.

I truly believe "wimmins equality" has gone completely the other way. Look at mainstream media, especially ads. Men are mostly depicted as bumbling folksy idiots while the woman is always strong and smart.

Take that god awful piece of crap ad on the radio "Brede, who is your car insured with" to which the stupid bitch tells him he is asking a very personal question. The tone of this ad annoys me. Again, he is folksy and naive while she is coy and opportunistic.

Reverse the roles and have the woman seem a bit ditsy, God love us all.

Not to mention, women seem to think its pretty cool that they cannot cook or tidy anymore. Having lived in a few house shares, women are far worse at keeping tidy and attempting cooking than the vast majority of fellas Ive lived with.

I also disagree with gender quotas. If you are good enough you will be put forward, if not, you wont.

All over for Dapper Laughs lads. :eek:

The butt really looks photoshopped.

On a different note. Was supervising a kids thing this evening and one of the kids a 11 year old told me he watches porn. Really didn't know want to say.

Not funny at all.

Well did you report it to the parents, or if it was run by an organisation did you notify the manager?

ROI's Stephanie Roche only female nominated for best goal of the year, she is up against the likes of Costa, Ibrahimovic and Van Persie, well done to her and don't forget to vote y'all

voted for her earlier. Hope the footage quality doesen't **** against her as it was unbelievable skill and is imo just as good (I didn't vote for it just cos she's an Irish woman) as anything the bigger names did.

you forgot to mention that ad for women's car insurance, seriously condescending, and demeaning to both men and women.

Oh man, I usually hate this arguement, but imagine if the gender-roles were reversed!

"Oh, us men know we're better drivers than those bimbo idiots..."

Omackeral

Just on that Women's insurance ad. Imagine it went another direction and called itself It's4WhitePeople. There'd be bloody murder.

Don't know who to vote for in FIFA's Best Goal Of The Year, currently deciding on James Rodriguez's volley against Uruguay, RVP's ''penguin header'' against Spain, Zlatan's cheeky backheel for PSG or Steph Roche's goal, so many good choices to choose from.

Vote for the Irish lass, when the hell do we get nominated for these things?

twas a quality strike as well.

I use these, got 'em as an Xmas present last year, solid enough headphones imo.

I use a set of beats. I'm usually horrible with headphones and they don't last more than a couple months but these babies are coming up on their two year anniversary.

Stereomaniac

Were they worth it? There has been a lot of talk about them being used as more of an accessory.

I like the look of the studio beats. But wouldn't pay that kind of price. I remember Curry's in Dublin airport had an orange pair for 150 euro the studio model

I see no scenario where I could justify spending the sort of money they cost on headphones. 2-300 quid is a farce.

Sennheisers are grand, I've got a sennheiser headset for my computer, probably had them the guts of 2-3 years.

Stereomaniac

I'd be with you on that one. I get a great kick out of the difference in fidelity that I get when I listen to my favourite records on different devices and mediums. I couldn't imagine buying Beats.

RobbingBandit

Lots of last gen Beats down from €200+ to €140 in Argos.
