    Don't forget to keep on eye on that Schillaci lad when Ireland play Italy, I hear he's a real threat in the scrum.

    Paulo Rossi will get the nod up top. Back 4 will be Tassoti, Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini behind Pirlo and Albertini. Don't think Gentile, Donadoni and Bergomi will make the starting XI. Is there anything worse than when Tubridy pretends he's not a massive prick, maybe when Pat Kenny does it.

    I'm taping it, for my niece I don't like it that much. Tubridy is totally creepy doing this alrite like a guy who's the main suspect in Criminal Minds.

    Say what you want about Tubs, but he gets a lot more involved in everything going on than that wooden excuse of a presenter Pat Kenny!

    I'd say Tubs has broken quite a few of the toys so far

    The singing kids are annoying me

    Yeah I watched most of it, RTE's version of Wrestlemania innit :D

    Nice to see they still make toys these days and it's not just all computer games! Thought the singing kids were very talented, as was that yo-yo kid, that was pretty awesome.

    How do you go about getting tickets to that show? Just for the amount of free stuff they give to everyone in the audience, might try and pick up a couple tickets next year.

    Good luck!
    There's like a 6 year waiting list for the tickets or something. And then some of them are competition winners for them.

    It would be excellent to get to go, though.

    I thought you wrote "my niece I don't like that much". I was thinking "that's a bit harsh, she's only a kid!"

    Nah don't mind my niece but she does like watching Peppa Pig and Bambi a bit too much. I taped it but didn't end up watching much of it, seen the bit where Tubridy was on all fours as kids peddled in bikes and that. Do they still make people dress up like idiots in the audience, would you be up for that Charisteas.

    Anyone watch Black Mirror on C4? I think it may have been both the single worst and greatest show I've ever seen in my life. Absolutly amazing...

    I was going to but my C4 reception is dire. I don't think that Brooker is the God that some make him out to be but on form he is immense and as I love Screenwipe I will always give any of his work a go.

    I will be watching on 40D this week, you like it overall TSC?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,996 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I loved it. I think. It was one of those shows that at first you laugh at and think is absurd. But it was one of the most fascinating hours of TV I've ever experienced. Again I say, it was vile and horrible, and utterly absurd. But amazing.

    For those who don't know, the premise is:
    A Princess is kidnapped and a ransom demand spread via Youtube; the Primeminister must have sex with a pig on live television or she dies.
    It examines how Twitter, Youtube and Facebook would influence such an event in modern day England.

    the Primeminister must have sex with a pig on live television or she dies.

    Ha! Didnt see that coming!

    It was brilliant. I missed part of it (Damn you, Enda Kenny), but got most of it. Really well done. Ending was brilliant. Whole idea behind it was great.

    He has sex with the pig. Afterwards, they find out she was released half an hour before he had sex with it, and that it was an artist trying to create a modern work of art.

    Oh and wear a very short skirt and low cut top and stroke the tester's leg when changing gears :p

    If all goes amiss touch their leg and see their reaction. If they don't kill you then you know what you must do.

    Don't crash and kill the tester. That's an instant fail.

    Honestly, just calm down and don't rush it. If you overthink everything, you'll miss something else. Relax and try find the balance between concentrating and doing what comes naturally

    Fùcking shocking result for Liverpool, bye bye 4th no good beating the likes of Arsenal or Chelsea then losing to any bottom ten side all of which are terrible in the premiership. Jay Spearing can piss off in January now, waste of ****ing space. Totally anonymous at his job and then turns up to get himself sent off. We haven't got one player that can play that role and he let us down big time, the useless midget. Worse part is we played well.

    I'd be a bit worried if MR Punked did that:eek::pac:

    He might pass as a Mrs :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    I'm worried now what kinda vibes my posts give off, Liz. :p
    But i'll be taking your advice all the same!

    What if i crash but dont kill anyone?
    Do i still have a shot at a pass?

    It frustrates the hell out of me that Pool play so well against the big teams and then cannot be arsed to put in the same preformances against the smaller teams. They'd win the league if they treated every game like they do the ones against United or City.

    Good luck Punked on your test. I'm doing driving lessons in the morning and the test seems so far off. Knock 'em dead...

    ...wait no, thats horrible advice....

    Sack Kenny and bring in Steve Kean.

    You'll do fine. I pasted mine first ti even with one hand as it was t long after I had my op on my hand and I had to pretend I could hold the steering wheel with both hands

    This is my second attempt at it, the first was over a year ago. Had a pre-test today which i would have failed on had it be the real thing.
    Messed up on little niggly things like not indicating when pulling off from the side of the road, hit my wipers instead of the indicator too. Real :rolleyes: kinda stuff.
