Am I the only one who reads his quotes with a Kerry accent?

I've been thinking something similar to this while watching the US election coverage. All these comedians and commentators calling Trump supporters idiots and morons is only intensifying their "Us vs Them" attitude and securing their vote for Trump.

Maybe some of you worldly folk could answer this, tried to order something from a UK site earlier but the payment got declined for reasons I'm not entirely sure of. I don't have any outstanding orders on the website, never got a confirmation mail, etc etc. But the transaction is showing up as pending now on my internet banking. Is this normal? Will it go away at some point? The value of the transaction has been taken away from my current account balance, I'd quite like it returned.

It's either that they took your order but don't deliver to Ireland OR they took your order and have parked the cash but aren't sure they have stock until someone comes in OR they took your order and want someone to confirm the purchase because maybe your a new account from a different country and they need to make sure there is no fraud afoot.

I'd say it will confirm tomorrow morning when people get in.

I was trying to give them a parcel motel so I'm guessing the payment didn't go through as they knew my card was Irish. I don't think they deliver to Ireland. We'll see anyway, thanks.

You didn't use the parcel motel as your billing address, right?

No.

Though I've used all sorts of things as my billing address in the past on various websites and it never seems to make any difference.

You ordered from this place before?

Some places do not like brand new customers that have billing addresses and shipping addresses that differ, especially across countries.

Yeah I have without any issue. Maybe they've wised up or something. Which is fine as long as I get my money back.

Funnily enough, I do it too.

Kids movies nowadays are brilliant. Back to back Paddington and The BFG today so far. Absolutely fantastic. Might watch Fantastic Mr Fox this afternoon before a night of trick or treating.

The Book of Life is really good too, appropriate for this weekend too.

Five Guys is overpriced mediocrity in a bap. Gimme Bunsen any day of the week over that.

The burgers are good but absolutely everything else about the place is awful

If you believe Five Guys is overpriced mediocrity I cannot comprehend how you think Bunsen is any better. It's the definition of overpriced mediocrity.

In non-burger related news, I finished the Dublin Marathon in 4:28:29. Never again :pac:

Congratulations. Not an easy task to do and you covered it in a very respectable time. Take pride in a big achievement, it's a very long way to get around.

Congrats. Did it four years ago in a similar enough time. Have pretty much decided I'm going to run my second next year but have to decide where....

Fair play, that's a decent time for a first one.

Bit of effort you can knock 28:30 off it for the next one

Tried the oul wedding suit on there for the final time, next time it'll be on me I'll be standing shaking like a leaf. :eek:

Had mine on for a funeral last month. First time I've worn it in 12 years!! Fitted perfectly!! Got it made at the time (plain black)...investment piece.

I wouldn't be shaking about such an event, I just accept that we'll probably lose.
