I prefer Family Guy, but I think it's phenomenally overrated. I associate it with students sitting in marijuana-smoke-filled rooms for 18 hours solid and eating Domino's pizza twice a day.

Why are speed limits considered optional to some people? Driving on the motorway, pushing the limit, and there's still people zipping past me and disappearing in the distance :S

Still waiting on my license to come before I tear up those motorways of Hibernia.

Stereomaniac · 01-08-2012 4:04pm

I recently passed my driving test, and now that I finally have, I don't own a car. Oh, the irony.

I saw Ted and thought it was Good! But I think Seth MacFarlane should stick to 30Min-50Min shows and Specials. I found myself losing interest during some parts!

gnfnrhead · 01-08-2012 6:29pm

I think my computer is dieing

Still no internet (did the Maleware bytes scan, found one problem and fixed it.) and just tried the internet cable wired into my laptop and it works too. No virus found but still no internet.

Can you change the internet ports on the computer? I have an older computer, if they can be swapped out i'll give that a go.

The football, besides Brazil nobody else could give a flying fig e.g. when Spain get knocked out without even scoring you know nobody could be arsed and every game I watched of it was far more boring than pre season friendlies.

Weight lifting.

I was watching it earlier and the women(who had stubble) were pressing a fair few kilos heavier than me and I was thinking they could probably fire me across my living room no problem, a scary thought.

Keep wrestling out of the Off-Topic section. Use the search function to check if there's a thread about it already. If not, then make a new thread!

Your thread looks like it might go in the unpopular opinions thread, but it's likely a popular opinion.

jaykhunter · 02-08-2012 12:39am

Yes, another one. October, that makes it four years in a row! Three more after this and it'll be as long as the Saw franchise!

Yay! I have a little bit of a soft spot for the PA series. Only scary movies i've ever liked.

Tinie · 02-08-2012 12:57am

They havent been scary since the first one though. The old grannies chasing yer man in the ending of the last one was hilarious.

gnfnrhead · 02-08-2012 1:10am

Im not sure I even seen the first one.

waltersobchak · 02-08-2012 1:19am

One of the most overrated movie series of all time, terrible B-Movie acting and not scary in the slightest.. Give me the Evil Dead trilogy anyday:pac::cool:

Angron · 02-08-2012 1:23am

They are still making those movies? I liked Saw for its OTT gore, but the series wore thin before it ended, and the same thing is happening with PA.

Dont forget the granddaddy of long running horror films; Halloween.

Must be about 15 of them now including the rob zombie remakes. And about 3 or 4 of them are good.

Well to be fair, the first movie was a bonafide amateur movie. :P

Gonna go see Ted this weekend hopefully

GTR63 · 03-08-2012 1:26am

Just watched Liverpool vs Gomel, 1-0 win but we were so bad my eyes may bleed.

Stereomaniac · 03-08-2012 2:24pm

How the mighty have fallen. I wonder are there many children getting named after Ian Rush.

Does anybody know how long a comedy gig in Vicar St. usually lasts? Heading up to see Jim Jefferies in September but have to get a bus back to Gaillimh at 00.15 and the gig starts at 7.30/8.30.

When I've gone, it's typically about 2 hours max. Most seem to do a set of 45 mins (be that them or a warm up), a 15 minute break, and then about an hour. But it really depends who you're going to really. Dara O Briain hits the two hours on the nail, but I know I went to see Neil Delamare once, and the show was only an hour and a half, and only about 35 minutes of it was him :P

cena · 04-08-2012 1:46pm

So I got to bounc for a ryan sheridan gig last night. Up in front of the stage making sure no one came near him

Not at all. They did what they were told, but I had loads trying to chat me up

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-08-2012 11:13pm

Man, the Brits are doing fabulous at the moment at the Olympics. Any chance we could get Gaelic games an Olympic sport (we'd maybe get a bronze there).

Lord TSC · 04-08-2012 11:34pm

I love Jessica Ennis. Shame she'd probably destroy me with her abs :P

DM_7 · 04-08-2012 11:51pm

Memorable Olympics night for sure.

I was Glad Ennis won, she was under huge pressure and really excelled despite it. I hope she gives the Hurdles a go, she keeps improving at them and no doubting she has the endurance to last a few more races.

Roger Sterling · 05-08-2012 10:20pm

A boy JohnJo Nevin. Class boxer and one medal in the bag.

Mr.Nice Guy · 05-08-2012 10:54pm

Yeah great win for Nevin. I was worried when he took that body shot but he recovered well.

It would be great if Annalise Murphy could get us a medal in the sailing tomorrow. She's been great so far. Hope Katie Taylor does the business too. She's taking on a hometown girl so I hope that isn't going to be a big factor.

Also pleased to see Bolt win tonight. Kinda hoped he'd go and do a world record though.

Roger Sterling · 05-08-2012 11:34pm

Have a horrible feeling the judges might rob Katy for the home boxer tomorrow. Shell have to make sure and thoroughly outbox her to be sure to be sure.

GTR63 · 06-08-2012 12:38am

The judging has been dodgy at the boxing alrite.
Anybody watch the football this weekend, i'm bored to death of the 24x7 Olympic coverage at this stage.

Furious-Red · 06-08-2012 4:49pm

Great win by Taylor today in the boxing

Charisteas · 06-08-2012 8:37pm

In related news, and more importantly wrestling related, lets just say an overdue server bill has been paid. Sure some of you will know what I'm talking about

Lord TSC · 06-08-2012 9:06pm

Watching Burn Notice and "The Big Show" comes up in the credits. Wasn't expecting that...

jaykhunter · 06-08-2012 9:17pm

I dunno what you're on about Charisteas!

But in other news the website PWT is down for the time being, and XWT announced that PayPal froze their account - they're behind on their server payments and if they can't get the funds together they'll be offline soon.

jaykhunter · 06-08-2012 9:22pm

Watched the first episode of The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber!) and Emily Mortimer (Rachel from Shutter Island). Intense, interesting, they set up the characters well but there are a ton of sweeping perfectly formulated diatribes every few minutes with the same characters that take it out of the realm of reality. But in generally, very well put together drama. Probably not for me though.

The opening jaw-dropping speech from Jeff Daniels saying America isn't #1 should be seen by everyone though.

I'd hazard a guess he is talking about one of those.

Every site that I keep a good ratio on keeps going :mad:
