    no idea what I am getting myself into but I am just after buying a greyhound as part of a syndicate!

    Any greyhound racing fans in here?

    any idea how much it costs to buy an average greyhound?

    We just bought one for €1400 and got a promise from the breeder that if he doesn't win a race he will give us another pup for free

    It doesn't matter what you pay. They could be anything. The more you pay generally there's a better chance but nothing is guaranteed.

    Found this in Bargain Alerts: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056791408

    Half price Sports/Movies with Sky for 3 months.Could be handy for anyone wanting some Premier League action on the cheap.

    Includes ESPN before someone asks.

    When your cancelling your package after the 3 months they charge you for changing the package. :mad:

    Just saw a girl that was in my year try to use that fake photo of the Statue of Liberty that's going around as a valid point as to why the world is going to end this year.

    I worry for society, I really do.

    Fair play to you Xavi for doing your bit for Aussie football. It was interesting to hear something different on Football Weekly too.

    Yeah, easy really, but when I first looked at the picture didnt see the break at all and thought the local paper had printed wrong picture. Think that could say more about my slow wittedness than anything else though.

    Just use super glue, nothing will go wrong with super glue. Use the screws that came with the presses as well and you'll be golden.

    It needs MOAR swearing and alot MOAR hammer, when all else fails break out brute force.

    No man should ever consult a manual until they've made a balls of the first attempt.
