Could someone translate this for me please?

If I use Hola, are they taking my IP address and using it for nefarious purposes? I mean, are we at risk here?

I am a fan of the outdoor gigs. Simply cause of the sound has no where to bounce off, not like in doors

Stereomaniac

Yeah, but you get a windy day and the sound engineer encounters a different set of problems.

Was doing a boot camp yesterday where we were doing boxing. One of the things we had to do was a Superman Punch. I resisted cocking before jumping.

Foos were awesome. Great gig.

Happy Belated MNG I'm only 7 months behind you lol

Is there anywhere on boards to have an anonymous rant? Having a week that I need to vent.


I know I ye are good peeps but sometimes you just have yo shout at the world

Bounty Hunter

I believe there is a board called ranting and raving or something similar but you can always vent here in off topic, others have.

Diabhal Beag

I just type it all out, c-words laden, and don't submit. That's purely because I've been outed as a Boardsie before.

Lord TSC

I wonder if that would be an interesting idea for a board; an anonymous rant section. Have people able to PM a rant on whatever to the mods who can then post it up, so only the mods know which user posted the rant, AND a filter system would exist where the mods could reject any hateful or inappropriate material.

Probably wouldnt do well long term, but just something that popped into my head

connemara man

Ah in the soberer light if day I'm fine. My family got bad news during the week and I'd love to be angry at someone but as its an illness I can't so I am a wee bit frustrated at the minute

grames_bond

Was nice of the foo fighters to play my birthday party yesterday! Great gig - sound bunch of lads! :pac:

CMpunked

I got a disciplinary in an old job for something I posted on boards before.
So always be a little wary.
However, I was giving out about a certain element in the job so I suppose it was justified.

Stereomaniac

Did you get anything happen to you?

He was absolutely woeful. I'm writing my letter of complaint to the Connacht Tribune as we speak.

Might be a weird question, but thought I'd ask...

I've got to go from Drogheda to Blackrock one morning this week, right at bad rush hour traffic. Am wondering should I take the M50, or go through the tunnel and down along the coast through Sandymount (am looking at maps here).

Anyone any experience going from Northside to Southside Dublin at rush hour and which is quicker?

eh i dunno

M1, tunnel, east link, down through irishtown.
It'll take you like 45 minutes.
Depending when you leave it could be expensive. Before 6 the tunnel will be 3 euro. Although when it's that early you could just go down whitehall/drumcondra and then down to custom house, across the Liffey and onto the n11. Will still take you the same time as the tunnel but, as I said, only if it's that early in the day.

The m50 could be your best bet if you leave early enough.
What time do you have to be in Blackrock?

Lord TSC

9:30.

Through Irishtown certainly looks shorter, but don't want to get caught unexpectedly by schools, etc.

It's a Bank Holiday tomorrow, schools will be closed.
