    I hate Adam Sandler since he made a movie called funny people that had no funny people in it!!!

    Closest I ever got to leaving the cinema during a movie.

    I got up and left during The (nothing) Happening. Unfortunately my mates were still in the cinema so after about 20 minutes I went back in. Most infuriating movie I've ever paid to see. Well, until Horrorthon & Michael Biehn's wife's movie, Among Friends. I couldn't get up and leave as the whole cast & crew were in the audience. I just couldn't.

    It gets better........

    And better and better and better and better and better.

    Sorry to quote myself. Just got these figures from Metacritic.

    Season 1, 74 out of 100

    Season 2, 85 out of 100

    Season 3, 89 out of 100

    Season 4, 96 out of 100

    Season 5 (so far) 99 out of 100

    Really does get better. Anyone finding Season one a slow burn just stick with it, its well worth it.

    Downloaded that's my boy because I like Adam Sandburg but not quite got the will to watch it going by reviews :(

    For those who've been in London, what's the best way to get around? Is there a city ticket that can be got for the tubes?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    They have Oyster cards I think they are called, you can top them up as you go along, and they are usable on the underground and buses if I recall correctly.

    They aren't necessarily cheap when you compare it with Dublin, but they're the best option.

    Quite pricey actually. Where are you flying into?

    I know Gatwick has the Gatwick express. Train that goes direct to Victoria station in 30 minutes or so. I'm sure other airports have a similar set up too. Any idea on accommodation yet?

    I found the day pass very good value when I was over a few months ago. Especially of your going on a full days travel using the tube

    You can get the Stansted Express then to Liverpool Street. It's 31.50 return which is a little pricey unfortunately but it's very reliable. There are buses too though that would be cheaper.

    Also, get some Krispy Kreme doughnuts at the airport, they're awesome!

    MOTHA' FCUKIN YES!

    The girlfriend is from manchester so we always pick up way more than the recommended doctors amount. They are crazy good.

    Just found out there is a collection of movie costumes exhibit going to be in one of the museums near by. I'm so excited. :D
    Sweet jesus i'm excited about that.

    A guy who I went to school with died early on Friday morning by his own means. We were close in school but went to different colleges. News of his death has really shook me, We went to Rome together in 2009 on a lads trip and that was the last time I saw him. I just find it very sad that a 24 year old guy could see no future, I regret not maintaining contact over the last 3 years.

    Awful to hear that. The sad thing is pretty much everyone on here will know or know of someone who's done or tried to do the same. Theres probably even people on here that feel that way right now.

    We really need to take a long hard look mental health issues in this country. If anyone on here feels like that I'd beg them to talk to someone. Even post on here to let of a bit of steam. Anything is better than what that poor guy in the post above resorted to.

    Agreed , not to use a cheap plug but there is a christmas festival kinda thing happening about Mental Health happening in Swords this day next week. My band have been lucky enough to be asked to play it and hopefully the event is a success http://www.facebook.com/events/504647389569124/
