Yeah my Internet gone to ****e also unfortunately!

My solution earlier will work.

Notice how I come with an actual solution, I do not punish you for not being networking experts who have failed to develop your own ISP infrastructure in your garage with parts you bought in powercity.

This is what sets me apart from people like Lord Nucifora. This is why I am a better person.

Jasis, Westworld was brutal boring. Like a ten and a half hour dentist appointment. No idea why I kept watching.

Thanks awec having the same issues here in Galway and that fixed it

I have to say though I'm a bit surprised you didn't find a way to blame it on Lord Nucifora

He'd tell us we should have developed our own router!!

Looks like virgin internet has died all over Dublin ? Mine is down, twitter showing loads of people in Dublin with issues.

DNS issues, google dns will work (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Go here, follow the instructions on how to change your DNS

http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/how-to-change-your-dns-windows-10

Enter 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 . Your laptop will work for the internet, you can connect it up to the tv I guess.

I don't know how to do it on one of those horizon boxes, I insisted they gave me a seperate router when I signed up for a better package earlier in the year. But the router they give you is still rubbish, can't even set custom DNS.

Slane is an absolutely cracking venue. But it's a total disaster to get in and out of. We know someone down that way thank God but I can fully understand the hate for it

Podge_irl

Is Slane that bad?
Not been since the RHCP gig and it was fine (albeit I was a lot younger).

awec

I will never go to Slane again. Ever.

8. It's Guns n Roses. Who the hell would pay to see a bunch of mediocre oul lads go through the motions of a couple of "ok" songs.

9. It's in Slane.

10. It's in Slane.

I was actually a bit disappointed by it tbh. Felt they could have teased some of the stuff out over another couple of episodes rather than taking a few huge leaps all in one episode. Elements of it (e.g. the man in blacks back story) felt very rushed I thought.

I thought the ending was absolutely superb. I saw a common rugby board poster who hadn't really loved the series as a whole describe the ending as one of the best he's ever seen - and I agree about the ending.

It did enough for me to raise it to the level of TD season 1.

Also appreciated how there were still a few twists left at the end. Despite people bemoaning how it had become predictable, I never saw that ending coming.

I like how you list your reasons in order of priority, especially your kid's communion!

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

I know most people now can't live without their phone in hand and putting it in your jeans pocket gives ease of access but it always strikes me as incredibly dumb that people just walk around with their phone sticking out. I'm not saying they deserve to be robbed because of it, but it's not exactly making it difficult.

Did you get the stolen object back?

Yeah it was an iPhone, not a wallet. He must have dropped it on purpose to throw me off. I left the ditched bike against a railing. I considered dropping it into the garda station but frankly I had stuff to do. It was gone two hours later.

So I stopped a thief last night. I was sitting outside a gym near Smithfield waiting for my girlfriend when I saw some teenager on a bike take something that looked like a wallet out of a woman's hands. I sprinted after him and somehow caught up with him around a corner even with a backpack in my hand. I kicked the back wheel of the back to try and ... stop him. He somehow got off onto his feet and kept running. He dropped an iPhone just as he ran into a block of flats, thank god, because I don't think I was going to follow him any further. I tore up my toe kicking the bike and the wheel is buckled too. I never knew I had it in me. Serious buzz, highly recommended.

No both Slash and Duff McKagan have re joined the band for this tour.

Nah, he has been back on the scene for a while.

If I recall the reports correctly, they were 2 hours late coming on stage. The crowd were fuming and half cut. Several bottles got lashed at Axl from the crowd. He stopped, threatened to walk off if it continued. It didn't stop. They walked.

They were convinced to return later at which point half the crowd had left.

Did he not give the audience a pile of abuse and walk off last time?

Will that have the slightest sniff of selling out? It's a massive venue. Their last gig in Dublin was an utter shambles with a large chunk of the crowd walking out.
