In 2001 Shelbourne played a big UEFA cup game. Stands packed, TV cameras there....
.......Except the game wasn’t real, it was against Harchester United for the British show Dream Team

While this "game" was ongoing, one of the best ever games in the LOI was being played out in Santry. Bohs trailed Rovers 4-1 after an hour, and won 6-4.

Bring a sworn affidavit certifying that the number of notes/syllables in the following lines are either identical or inconsequential in establishing a direct match and that the average listener could not distinguish the two songs based on same.

OR 'tenacious' is being used to describe the D in question and the original poster of the realisation misunderstood the definition to be a literal grip as opposed to the strength of said grip.

Synonyms of tenacious include persevering, persistent, pertinacious, determined, dogged, single-minded, strong-willed, tireless, indefatigable, resolute, patient, purposeful, steadfast, unyielding, etc. All of which are adjectives, not nouns.

i'm right...

Annoying fat twat.

Although school of rock was quite funny, so was shallow hal, now that I think of it.

Haven't seen it yet - hard to imagine it could top the Robin Williams film though.
Poor auld Robin - what a loss to the world!

I'm just after seeing the word disease hyphenated as dis-ease. I have never made the connection between the word and the fact that you don't feel at ease when you're sick.

To be or not to be. We all know it.
Always thought it meant that Hamlet is musing about life and death.
Didn't realise that he is actually contemplating suicide i.e. to remain alive (to be) or just end it (not to be).

I come to this realisation at least once a year but am surprised every time (I've probably posted it in here before); the PlayStation logo is a P and an S.

Up until one of my children corrected me recently, I thought this song was about some guys love for his terrier:

And I thought the chorus of this song was "Shower the horse I'm done"

Indeed. And if you read the whole soliloquy, the only thing stopping him from taking his life is the fear of something that may come after.
It also though belies his overall mental state; he muses that the fear of "what comes after" is the only reason keeping anyone from killing themselves.

I do think though that suicide as a theme was somewhat underplayed when we learned it.

Game of Thrones is porn!

they have access to a huge budget,better actors and writers. if you isolated the sex scenes they could easily pass for hardcore porn on their own, theyre just wrapped up in a big story.

I get the feeling you've been watching those fake clips on porn sites where they edit in hardcore shots around a GOT sex scene.

Hardcore porn without full nudity? Either way, I'll need a link to make my mind up

its hardcore compared to 1990s softcore, the definition has changed now.
GOT would not have been accepted as mainstream tv in the 1990s

It certainly wouldn't. But that doesn't make it in any way close to porn.

It's only season one that has a lot of those scenes anyway. I presume it was done to keep males attentions as characters told their backstory/intentions.

It's very softcore compared to my desire to see the khaleesi and her translator friend scissoring. Now that is TV gold:D

I think, judging by their actions, it's clear several of our banks thought their customers didn't know what a tracker mortgage is either.

Due to my trusty idiot proof wine bottle opener falling apart last night, I learned how use a waiters wine opener. Like one of these.

It’s got 2 stages - you screw in the cork screw, lever up the cork then use the next step to lever it out further. Magic.

There was a Colombo mystery where they opened a bottle of wine with a CO2 injector thing.

Spike the cork, press the button and out she pops. Looked trés cool.
