Post your first post

Mr.Plough

So while procrastinating at work today I started looking back at some of the earlier posts I had made on boards. It was interesting to look back at some of the stuff I was into years ago (plenty of "ah remember that" moments).

What's your first post?

9 years ago, I was convinced I would become a professional poker player like millions of other kids during what was the poker boom

have read alot of posts about the poor standard of play in the fitz, the drunken donks and fish all over the place.

what is the real standard of play as i usually stick to online cash games but am going to play brick & mortar more often.


so the usual? play tight, very selective when making moves?

as ive heard alot of players here will call you down on a draw without thinking about odds etc.

some info from regular players would be handy cheers.

Didn't quite turn out like that.

Hey,

I've been thinking about heading over to Canada in the new year, but it occurred to me that I have no idea what the next step is after completing stage two of the application process.

I got my POE and then procrastinated for a little while because, as far as I know, that's the last hurdle. So, now what?

I'm confident the answer lies somewhere in these pages, but it is a very long thread.

Thanks.

I got the visa :P

Do farmers really need €50k in payments per year, I mean it is like a government salary, and the lies of the John Bryan who makes out the current SFP is linked to production, maybe in the past, but when it came in, it was not.

Will the IFA please explain how many cattle or sheep I need to have on my farm to get the SFP given it is supposedly linked to production. Simon Coveney and anyone with a brain can see the myths of this production argument.

Basically it was about the top people in the IFA looking to protect high CAP payments...after recent events...I need say no more.

It's the weirdos private messaging you about your text speak is what I'm cringing at. Serious sad cases.

Hey guys,

I recently email UTV Internet support, about support for the campaign. I dont know if this will help or if someone else has already done this or what stance you guys have on it, but heres the email i got.

Ruari

We have contacted Ireland Off Line in an attempt to arrange a meeting to see
whether UTV Internet can assist in their campaign. As yet we have not
received either acknowledgement or any response. I will, however, pass your
email on to my Managing Director.

Are you in contact with any of the leading lights within Ireland off line? If
so, can you pass my details (**) as we are very keen to
talk to them.

I was inspired to sign up so that I could give out about ntl/upc and Ireland as a whole.

Hi guys... ok, stumbled upon this thread, never posted on boards before.

Got the letter from NTL 2 days ago, I wasn't impressed.

Yes I do download a lot of movies/tv shows, and last 2 days since the letter I've found myself not downloading, which I don't like, feels like been back in school and been told off.

Frankly, It's just a sign of how backward our country is, my swedish friend says he downloads twice as much as I do, and he or no one he has knows have ever hear of such a thing.

The reason I think they said 1gig a day, is that when it says 40gigs, they meant upstream as well as down, and up is usually about 1/3 of down.. i guess.

It reminds me of back in the day, when we had dial up connection, Esat had an 'unlimited' package, where you could connect as much as you wanted, and then sent out letters (I of course got one) to people saying they were abusing it and connecting too much, I guess they didn't understand the meaning of the word 'unlimited' as well as we did.

I think I might just ignore NTL and download as much as I want, hopefully everyone will do the same.

Sure I download more than the average, but some people download less than the average, are NTL going to start getting rid of their customers? I don't bother to complain when the cable tv stops for a few hours, like it does. And have you ever heard of someone been told they leave their TV's on too long?

Also, 1 gig really isn't that much in this day and age, its only about ..50 minutes of video, one tv show.

Why is our country always 20 years behind the rest of Western Europe?


Ok, checked out NTL.co.uk, they have a package for £34.99/€50.64 which allows 75gig download a month, only 10e a month more than what I'm paying.

If they want to create a new package, good luck to them, just wish they would stop bitching and moaning.

And as for their slogan

NTL Broadband: No Barriers

..I think that needs some editing...

How many 180's have you had?

The trick to hitting 180s is to not think about it. Darts are all about focus and at the same time relaxing. You'll do your head in worrying about every single darts. Sometimes they go in and sometimes they don't. When you get to the point where you realise that, then you'll see more of them

Badly Drunk Boy

I was just wondering about this half an hour ago! Mine was 12 and a half years ago in the 'Rock and Metal' section in a thread about drum'n'bass.

I don't know too much about it, but I like Roni Size and a couple of others. At the first Creamfields I stayed in the Metalheadz tent for a while...'twasn't bad....

Looking at my grammar, I'd say I was badly drunk at the time.

A wee bit of help for a newbie...please
Hi all

I've been using this whole site for help on all sorts of stuff for years but this is the first time that I've had to ask for help so here goes......

I'm living in an appartment block that has a communal satellite dish. I'm not sure if it is a sky only dish. I've asked the manager but its like talking to a briquette......in other words, a waste of time unless on psychedelic drugs

What I want to know is if it is possible to connect a Freeview/Freesat box to it? I've found cheap boxes online and cos my reception of non-RTE channels is terrible I need something more. Is there any easy way to find out or do I purchase a box and suck it and see?

Cheers

Hah, apparently from a thread of Ten Books To Read Before the Apocalypse

Samaris wrote: »

I'll try to linmit myself to just ten, but it's going to be hard!

War and Peace -Leo Tolstoy
Hounds of the Morrigan -Patricia...not sure of surname
Polgara the Sorceress - (endpoint to a series so I'm essentially recommending Belgariad/Mallorean) Davied and Leigh Eddings
Lord of the Rings (but of course!) Tolkein
Blue Moon Rising Simon R. Green. Not, perhaps, very well known, but a very entertaining writer with a great style. This is perhaps the best of his books. Original, funny, paced and smart.
The Iliad
Chronicles of Narnia (esp. Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawntreader) C.S. Lewis
The Bible It's a good read whether you're religious or not and the Old Testement has some great stories in it.
Guests of the Emperor Janice Young Brooks
Notes From A Big Country. Bill Bryson. Who thought travel-writing could be so entertaining?

Spelling mistakes included, sigh.

I'm removing War and Peace from that now. I think that was around when I was making my second attempt at trawling through the damn thing, and I'll blame it on being a teenager at the time.

So did you ever get the freeview box in the end?

1.9TDI Seat Leon is the one to go for. Much more reliable than the newer 2.0 litre diesels. Also the smaller petrol engined VAG cars are low on power and have plenty of common problems.


Still stand by that post actually.
