    No. You don't have to be to take the test, but you have to be by the time you get picked. Long waiting list for this.

    I'll be contacting the American embassy to see first.

    Just in it too. Was just thinking though, there must be some great Fantasy Football Wrestling team names. I'm not great at stuff like this, but these were my attempts:

    Miz-elborough
    STFC
    Manchester Snitsky
    Sabu-teo


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭Kankan14

    Get yer 30 Rock gifs out lads. It's Moyesy 2.0!

    That was an dismal line up to be fair.

    Their transfer action was awful all summer, lost loads of defenders and only brought in one young full back. Central midfield has been dire for so long, but only one player signed.

    They won't be reaching top 4 without some massive signings.

    I know this sounds like stupid question. Are there many differences between iPad and iPad Mini?

    I can't afford iPad but I can afford iPad Mini.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,454 ✭✭✭slicus ricus


    sod it I went ahead and created one here is the Code

    1771158-415157

    Just joined there - team name is FC Hammer. My team probably won't be visible in the league until after week 2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭Chip Whitley


    I just joined there too. My team won't show until the weekend I'd say.

    Kewell Runnings is a great team name, kudos to that man! :pac:

    Sucks for Barcelona, transfer banned until the January 2016 window it seems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    They'll bring up in Chelsea in their appeals and it will be either reduced or quashed altogether.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,435 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    So over the last few weeks, I bought some stuff online in the hopes of opening a small little shop online. Not much, just 75 quids worth of stuff from China. Yesterday, I opened that store on Adverts.ie, and this morning, I sold my first item.

    Absolutely chuffed. Right, it was only €3.50 profit(item cost me 3.15, sold it for 10, P&P and a few other things brought profit down to that) , but so pleased. I'm hoping it's a first step in a very positive direction. Looking into signing off the dole and onto the Entrepreneur benefit system soon, and hopefully starting this as a proper business. Just wanted to get a slight feel on how easy or hard it is to sell online.

    Didn't expect to see a sale so quickly, and the item in question was one I thought would be slow to sell. But right now, it's gone and off with An Post.

    Start of an empire today :pac:

    (Won't say what the item is in case I breech advertising ToS or anything :P)

    It is the new Godzilla??
    What's the new job? Free house means toilet seat can stay up. :-)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,675 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Toilet seat is well and truely up atm!

    it is the new Godzilla, I expect it to be Shiote but meh its a giant dinosaur/Monster movie so I lower my standards like I do when watching Transformers etc

    and the job sees me heading back to Taiwan. Plan to get into something else down the line there but its teaching again as I wanted to have something guaranteed before I arrived there, I can work on my chinese skills then and being there in person will help if I look for something else later

    o and yes glad Ballotelli is back in the Prem, can never have enough characters like that about to make things interesting


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,988 ✭✭✭cena


    The new movie is not as good as the 96 movie.
    Does the misses mind moving country? Is it English you teach?

    Yeah its English and it's her home country so not much issue there.

    If it's got a giant Lizard in it, which from the opening bit it seems it will I will be appeased. I actually really enjoyed the 96 one and wanted the hinted sequel even though everyone I knew said it was sh!t. As eluded to before tis just a popcorn, turn your brain off movie, people can be overly critical at times

    Its mostly definitely a watchable movie won't hurt the brain

    I treat the '96 Godzilla and Star Wars episode one like WWE treat Chris Benoit. They're Non-existent

    I really enjoyed the 96 movies. Loved the two main songs from the movie.
