FSA "off topic" thread - No discussion relating to FSA or Soccer - please read post 1

FutureGuy · 30-09-2013 2:19pm #1

Hi all,
We have received a number of requests relating to the introduction of an off-topic thread on FSA. We have a good community here and so myself and Mr. Moon have decided to give it a go.

A few rules...
1) Please refrain from using foul language, acting the maggot or doling out insults. As Bill and Ted said, be excellent to each other.
2) No discussion relating to FSA.
3) No discussion relating to soccer - that's that the soccer forum is for.
4) No spoilers for any tv show/film - take it to the correct forum

If we think things are going well, we will make it a permanent fixture on the forum. However, if we feel that it is more trouble than it's worth, it will be closed.

Cheers

Without any spoilers, did the last episode live up to expectations?

Best show on television by a mile! Hoping Todd and Lydia in particular come to a nasty end!

Kinda hoping Jesse survives, not exactly expecting a happy ending for him, but think he deserves some sort of redemption.

I've a feeling there'll be new rules every 10 minutes and I assume number 5 will be no talking about a certain somebody close to Mr.Prodston's um.....heart :pac:

Great idea, it's almost like some of us could even become friends :eek:

I was more than happy with it and it enforced itself as the best TV show I've seen, just can't believe it's over

I was satisfied, yes! Did the show justice with the ending I felt.

No enterprise that started with a Bill and Ted reference ever turned out bad. I have high hopes for this thread.

(and don't watch Breaking Bad)

Jaysus lad's.even a hint of an ending is too much....

For those who may like a bet,i got a tip for Ballytitty boy in the 6.05 Navan,ew. Good source but don't blame me if you lose your balls on it!

Santi101 · 30-09-2013 3:14pm

I'm starting House of Cards now, and fairly impressed after the opening couple of episodes.

I'll really miss my fill of Bryan Cranston every Monday though..........:)...I realise that sounded a bit off but i'm OK with that......:D

Tried watching the first ep of that last week, but had problems with Netflix... Better not be problems this evening or there'll be hell to pay!

I'd love nothing more than to cut Mickey off but we've been through too much together with all the comings and goings. Plus I'm trying to limit it's usage to the weekends when he comes out to play, maybe get weaned off in time

I watched the first episode when Sky were advertising it heavily. Thought it was quite good but haven't seen anymore yet. It's on my list though and with BB over and finishing Dexter too I've got room for something new.

People are saying it's very good?

If you share a tip, it never wins. That has always been my experience. What odds?

Watched the first 2 series as they came out and then spent the summer 12 months ago reading the books. I'm as much a nerd about Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire as I am about FPL, absolutely love them.

Swiper the fox · 30-09-2013 3:47pm

Anybody care to recommend a brilliant sports book for me, I'm currently trying to fill a couple of shelves to complete my library, after that I can weed out the rubbish, when I die I would like for there to be a custody battle for my sports library. I'm currently reading a fascinating book about cycling in Rwanda, doesn't sound like the most obvious subject for a book but it's by the former editor and feature writer for the Observer Sports Monthly, anyone who remembers that publication will know of it's quality.

Must make me a big punter so. My limit is 20e!!

I always remember a poor bookie is something you never see.

I never bet on teams I support either. Just a rule of mine.

Quite fond of Goal scorer bets,i have found that from FF i can call teams and games alot better,player positions etc.
Like last week i got Oscar,Rooney and Bony all up. Anytime trebles are a fav of mine, at least you get 90mins from your bet regardless of result unless they are taken off of course.

Can not wait for Breaking Bad - waiting for a Skype call first so there's no interruption's!

LOVE cheese

roryc · 30-09-2013 4:20pm

We make so much money from football bets. It really is a mugs game! Every time a big Premier League game ends a draw we make a huge profit. I might post some tips here every now and then now that we have an OT thread. I manage the poker side but a few mates are footie/racing traders. I'm also 29, living in Spain, working in Gibraltar where most bookies bar Paddy Power are based. Only get back to the motherland once or twice a year, spend more time in Israel than back home!

Cheese is the devils sauce. I'm extra angry today because Breaking Bad has ended.

Mr.Prodston · 30-09-2013 4:28pm

I was travelling in Asia earlier this year and the one thing I craved/missed more than anything else was cheese. I don't even eat much of it. But the complete absence of it was tough (bar one incident with imitation cheese in Vietnam...bleurgh).

After nights of beer for 20c I had some strange dreams about cheese and bacon burgers.

36 aswell glad to see theres a few others in that age profile.I always felt i really shouldnt be getting so worked up and wasting so much time posting about ff at my age.

38 here, 4 kids(all girls) which explains why I'm never on here at the weekends despite my midweek obsession with the place, old enough to be Mr Prodston's da:eek:

Happy days of my liquid diet, Singha/Chang/beer Lao and Tom Yum soup for breakfast lunch and dinner, add to that the seaside buckets of Red bull and Vodka and it took my stomach a few months to recover.

Living in Riyadh and the first 2 visits to the supermarket totally missed the cheese counter. Was nearly more worried about the lack of cheese than the lack of beer! Found the counter and learnt how to homebrew wine though, so problems solved!

Yeah I'd love to go back, hopefully will in a couple of years once I get the masters and a bit of money. Where did you go?

Beer Lao was an absolute treat but it's tough to beat the bia hoi in Vietnam, them buckets are lethal too. Hard to beat chicken fried rice and a mango shake for €1.50, living like kings

Practically no value in the EPL alright but there's a hell of a lot of mug punters to help those figures. Serious value around some of the smaller leagues though. The company you work for is massive value for one market in particular.

30, also work for a bookies, living in Malta. We have one great punter who makes a lot of money only betting on draws. Cheese is awesome.
