It felt like yesterday when the last thread started.

The other thread was better :pac:

Jeez was my post about Japan that uninsightful you had to go into lockdown


They really were poor though.
So far I've wasted money on Spain to win outright and Australia not to score a single goal all comp(hats off Tim Cahill)

Still have Germany to win 13/2

Benzema each way 40/1

I have got no idea why i did but i also backed England purely burning money.

Diabhal Beag

Didn't know the power of the draw no bet accumulator until Japan had a ****er. Very impressed.

CastorTroy

New thread? Oooh shiny! So what can and can't we touch until the paint's dry?

beakerjoe

Japan are woeful. That is all

Japan let me down last night

how does that work exactly?

So I had 50c on Uruguay, Columbia and Japan on a draw no bet. The Japan result was marked void and not counted because it was a draw. Got €1.88 back. Don't like betting big amounts because I've only had to stick in €20 in my account in 3 years.

Hoping Italy draw against Costa Rica or Costa Rica win
(Either way, England's chances of progressing are slim to non existent)

Professional Griefer

I'm sickened, really wanted to see them do well.

Diabhal Beag

Didn't mind that England team but seeing Costa Rica qualify was what football is all about: people raving about a defensive midfielder who can pass a ball and him having an absolute ****er against the home of Jurassic Park.

Bounty Hunter

England out!

Costa Rica, the team Irelands second string drew 1-1 with a few weeks back through!

WTF!

No matter who you / they are I don't think anyone can claim to have called Costa Rica being the team on 6pts after 2 games in a group with England, Italy & Uruguay, fair play to them, this WC has its underdogs story for sure now and as they will be playing a team from Group C in the next round (most likely not Columbia) they will have a chance of going even further!

Lord TSC

If you'd handed me a list with Italy, England, Uruguay and Costa Rica on it, I'd likely have had CR as the easy "4th Place" pick....

Glad i didn't back Switzerland against France,

Diabhal Beag

I did and much like Seán Fitzpatrick I'm taking the country down with me.

Meant to be going to a wedding tomorrow night. Got an evening invention to a school friends wedding. Don't think I'll go, cause by the time I go everyone well be well on the drink and as I don't drink I well end up being by myself. It's happened my a time I have gone out with them.

jaykhunter

I know it sucks but if you're mates with the groom you should go - it'll mean a lot to him, he'll remember who was/wasn't there. You don't have to stay all night or anything, just make an appearance and say hellooo

Diabhal Beag

I think the fact you're wondering about it means you have a bit of a inclination to go, which is a positive thing. As jayk said you can be in and out of these things within about 20 minutes just wishing people well. Been in the same situation before, not so much weddings, but engagements/21st's/going-aways but always make the effort and it is always remembered. Being dry doesn't mean it won't be good fun either.

Friends with the bride. Don't know anything about the groom

Hashtag_HEEL

I agree with Jay and Diabhal. I know how you feel. I usually show up, say hello have a quick chat with whoever the function is for and slowly slip out when everyone is busy dancing or partying.

That being said you might be lucky and bump into other non-drinkers and have your own little cool kid table :P

eh i dunno

Anywhere here able to get Sky Go on PS3?

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between a 6 stringed guitar & a 7 stringed guitar, (besides the 7 stringer having an extra string).

Ha! Never expected to see that question on PW boards. Besides being more expensive, it's used to extend the lower 'bass' levels. So there's additional lower notes below the E string (it's a B string). Sounds very sexy. Chords work on the lower level but you'll have to change finger placement of the ring/pinky or it'll be off.

So happy apparently I booked 2 weeks off earlier in the year but never remembered but it's next week so I'm off for 2 weeks starting next Monday get to see all the football chuffed to bits. Considering I work in the bar trade at a place with a massive beer garden getting time off in the summer is a massive achievement. Might even go down the country or possibly abroad. Any idea bare in mind I'll be on my own but that's no biggie.

And how would that phonecall go Ian?:rolleyes:

Well talk about Ian Wright putting his foot in it

Well lads, some week for all the gigs in Kilmainham/ Marlay Park.

Ah wish i could be going to him too but cant take 3 days off this week

A week tomorrow

gnfnrhead

I've been off for a few days but usually stay up late anyway since I work nights. I'm back in work tonight so decided to go to bed a little earlier so I would be well rested. It's not even 6am and I am fucking wide awake

CastorTroy

So my guitar arrived this morning. Anyone know why I bought a guitar? We'll now see if you can teach an old dog new tricks or if it'll just sit unused

grames_bond

the sun better stay for next week - macklemore in marlay!

(oh and before that sonisphere over in london!! \m/)

Diabhal Beag

Macklemore and Coronas would be playing gigs in my personal hell tbqh

I just don't get what runs through Suarez's head sometimes....

eh i dunno

Change the thread title to "Back in action with a Suarez like bite"

Moneymaker

I was going to suggest 'Suarez bites back.' but that does the job.

Is he mad? Surely a 6 month ban or longer coming his way now.

I found it funny that the Uruguay coach made a statement trying to make Suarez out to be a victim of the evil media.

Professional Griefer

Embarrassing wasn't it, not the first time a manager has made a fool of himself blindly sticking up for Suarez.

Suarez has a real appetite for the game
