    Westmeath won their first championship against Meath today, so now Westmeath is the primary Meath. Regular Meath is now East Meath.


    Thanks, I hadn't a clue what was going on in that post.

    Just wondering why is there no new Photoshop competition? The current one is nearly a month old and we've had ideas for the new one, posted in the suggestion thread weeks ago.

    It also makes you wonder what's the point in having a suggestion thread, when suggestions appear to be ignored. There are 6 Mods in this forum and can someone not start a new competition?

    I hope the intention isn't to try and let the thread die, because it's one of the better threads in this forum.

    There are actually only three mods but point taken, been busy the last few weeks and it has slipped a bit.

    Do you know what would have been actually funny, as opposed to offensive? If the tag had read 'duck'...

    I don't know if I'm missing something else from the whole fracas.... I did see that google apologised for that extremely offensive tag (which their 'software' shouldn't have put there in the first place!!) - I was referring to the fact that the girl in the photo is pulling that extremely annoying duck face expression, and that if would have been funny (to me at least) if the 'software' had recognised the pursed lips and tagged the photo 'duck'.

    Just saw your reply. I didn't think it was funny either, but I was just pointing to why it said what it said, instead of Duck.

    Because the man they elected has done to do what he said he would do, instead of doing a u-turn once he got into power

    They backed him in the referendum didn't they? Maybe stay away from the sensationalist media for five minutes and get your news from elsewhere?

    And now he's flushing their country down the toilet - maybe you should do a bit of reading up on what's actually happening there. Anyway, off topic. There's plenty of threads elsewhere to talk about this

    Hey, but at least they aren't bailing out the German banks.



    Back on topic. I wish they'd ban Fr. Ted references in the Photoshop thread. It's completely unoriginal and seems a lazy option compared to posters who actually make an original effort.

    Hipster camera, drawing a blank.

    Is it that it's described as hipster? The lack of thanks lets me know it's not funny anyway.

    I thought maybe it was actually worth loads of money and yer man is selling it for 28 yopes. But then again up until about a year ago i thought meme was pronounced me-me, so dont take my word for it

    I was thinking the money thing as well then looked up some similar cameras on ebay around the same price so don't think it's that.

    I think the (alleged) joke is that the seller described it as a hipster camera, to flog it easier?

    I was going to post something similar - that's a Zeiss Ikon Contina camera, not really a premium item e.g. I saw one on eBay for €45. Zeiss are known for their lenses, but their camera bodies didn't do very well. If it had been a Leica, on the other hand ... :eek:
