Son got an Xbox 360 for Christmas and can connect it to the newer TV in the sitting room but can't get it to connect to the TV in his room. The one in his room is one of the ones with the big back to it.

You'll need a SCART adapter. Some small few games mightn't work properly without full-HD link but sod 'im, he can buy his own new telly.

You can using a scart lead but you will be better off plugging it into a potatoe due to the awful quality from the scary rather than a hdmi

Got a connection for it but it won't work. His TV has no remote so we can't get it to go to any av station either.

What I don't get is you can be charged of a Saturday night for being drunk and disorderly in a public place, or public order, creating a nuscience of yourself in a public place. Not a word about people nodding off piped off their mallet on heroin on public transport in the middle of the day, or some junkie so high he's holding an imaginary phone to his ear. Disgusting people being subjected to that carry on when they're going to or from work

Another TA is the Junkies on the Red Line

Sometimes they're funny too. I mean, we can laugh at them because they're too spasticated to react with any great threat or force. The most you'd get is a whiny, nasal utterance about "only bleedin' sittin' 'ere liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike" lol. I saw one of an evening a while back, trying to drink from a can of Devil's Bit. He was raising the can to his face in super slow motion and was bent forward as if his centre of gravity was somewhere below the knee He'd sway with the tram as the can neared his blow hole. He was mostly way off which was fun to watch - there are 3 month old babies with a better grasp of their own position in space. Eventually, he'd get the can somewhere near his face and then the luas would stop suddenly and he'd be sent back to square one all over again. He didn't get annoyed when this happened though. He just accepted it and started the process again.

I take my medical advice from George Carlin

there is a little bit of the more common TA's that are dished up on this thread that appear in this video......heck, there is even weapon and military style references for a certain someone as well

TA is that I never got to appreciate him fully and largely ignored him growing up.

I had bloods done I need vitamin b 12 injections (which i haven't got because .. Injections) I have a low thyroid and have to take eltroxin but eltroxin is expensive and now I have my epilepsy meds to get so they take precedent over thyroid.

I wouldn't have the appetite for a farmers dinner lol I'm a picker, but that could be because I feel so ****. Before Christmas anything I would eat wouldn't even stay there but I don't get sick at all now so it's much better

Epilepsy medications are covered and free under the Long-term Illness scheme. Talk to your GP about it and you can take a look online for more info.

I think that there should always be a way to get the TV to AV without the remote. It's one of those mandatory things manufacturers need to do....no evidence to back this up.

A €2 magic remote in Dealz will do the job handy enough, save you forking out for a new tv Mrs. B

If you're in the market for a new tv though (as I am at the moment), Currys and Argos are doing some good deals at the moment. I'm eyeballing a Hitatchi 42" SMART television for €329 with a Wi-Fi dongle thrown in for €15.

(comes with Saorview but I have Sky... how sad is that? I have Sky but I have no tv! :pac:)


Yeah, that is sad actually

Is that not a good thing? They might become collectable, or at least unusual.

Mrs S started on a set of Denby a number of years back. Half way through her periodic adding to it they stopped the style of mug. Months later they stopped the colour. Didn't bother me but boy is she annoyed about it to this day.
I might just show her your post to raise the hairs again.

Sorry to annoy you further but I'm afraid they don't seem to appreciate in value despite rarity.

I opened the things that make you Happy thread by mistake.

Cleaning the oven.
I started it at midday, had to leave the solution on to soak for four hours, which was tedious as I hate leaving things to soak-I'm too impatient.
Eventually I carried on...Jesus there's no end to the task.

Are you ok?

OldNotWIse

What kind of stuff do they talk about?

Is it all crisp winter mornings and babies' laughter?

OldNotWIse

This is probably not a TA because it drives me f.ucking spare but the DFS sofa ads? Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!! First, they poached My Favourite Things to sell f.cuking furniture AND now My Favourite Things is stuck in my head

OldNotWIse

And also the Homestore and More ads where the guy talks in this ridiculously monotone fast voice about being the best home store or something. Just F off.

But at least when they are gone, they are gone.

On that topic, does anyone ever pay full price for e suite? are they always on sale? We kinda need a new one, one of the dogs like to burrow in the corner and there is a little hole in the leather of "The Good Suite"

The kids say that if had damaged it they would be in an a home.

Something about the joy of silence on a beautiful night.

But fear not, it has taken a year to reach 1000 posts. So it's not catching.

Death has got to be preferable to having a fcuking Nicki Minaj song stuck in my head.

Being trivially annoyed by something, which I then can't remember when I come to TA thread to post about.

Magico Gonzalez

Ched Evans
January
Diets
Needing to go for a sh1t but feeling too lethargic to get up off my hoop.

These 4 things are wrecking my "nearly the weekend" buzz.
