The A/R Off Topic Thread

--amadeus--

This is something that was suggested by Dev, he reckons that some of teh "serious" forums benifit from an of topic banter thread where we can just talk crap.

Now I don't think you lot need an excuse to talk crap but we'll throw this up and if it works it'll hang around and if not it'll sink

So what do you want to talk about?

well the interview went well and the assessments were grand. Even got chatting to an old Team Leader that I had in a previous job.....

However, my going to Poland for a week in September is apparently a problem as I'll only be just finished training if I'm successful in getting the job

I'm mildly amused that a search for IT courses on PostgradIreland returned a course in "Applied Christian Spirituality"...

Thanks for the pic Misty. I coach javelin and hate doing so because of the safety aspect. Shows I'm right to be worried

Ancient one that (2006). Two well known athletes were speared recently (both 2007) in the upper body. Name them.

Salim Sideria in the Golden League in Rome is the best known http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhT30Ov41_s :eek:

I understand Bart Rogers, top throws coach up at Clonliffe, got one in the leg a little while ago. Scary.

thanks for that Misty. We have a new group of junior athletes who have just started throwing Javelin and no matter how often you try to tell them how dangerous it is they still don't seem to understand!! Pic now posted on club website and I hope it has desired effect

Yes and yes. Sdiri jumped a lifetime best this year, so he's back to his best, thank God. Sebrle did indeed go on to win the world decathlon title later in 2007! :eek: All the throwing implements are very dangerous. There have been deaths recorded from hammer and shot strikes (usually to the head). A friend of mine was hit on the gluteus maximus by a javelin. Fortunately, it was an old, blunt model and didn't pierce the skin, but he did have a huge lump for a while. Safety is not just paramount, it's critical.

Looks like fun.

Nice way of getting out of wok for the day

Did every single runner in Ireland descend on their local Lidl's this morning? Just been round 3 and no sign of a HRM in any. Only in the third did I get to find a pair of shorts or a top in anything but XL, was almost tempted to buy some of the runners at one point just so not to have wasted my time....

Munster_Gal

I didn't even know that they were selling any running stuff!!!!

Magnet

Yep!
I couldn`t get outta work to go shopping so I rang my sis to get me a running top...
She`s sorry she took that call I bet!!
.....so in the end I got 2 running tops (1 pink,1 black), 2 packs of 2 socks, 1 running jacket, 1 long running pants, 1 3/4 length running pants and 1 fm radio for a grand total of €56 priceless!!

:D
For everything else there`s mastercard!!

There was still loads of ladies stuff left in all the stores I went to, Shots, tops, socks and running jackets in all sizes

Really worth it, tops are 6.95 and top class, even a little pocket for your ipod/phone.

Munster_Gal

I have one of the jackets. Would love some running pants though. Need to get used to wearing the skimpy pants lol

There were loads of lycra running pants there for sure

tagoona

loads of the hrm's left in shannon at lunchtime. A Good deal, but figuring out the monitor from the instructions isn't the easiest!

rainbow kirby

I asked my mum to go to Lidl this morning... won't know what she got me until I get back to civilisation tomorrow. Otherwise, I don't fancy my chances of obtaining some socks in my size...

In other news, work still sucks, starting to contemplate going back to college in September for a masters.

Brave stuff though, fair play to him for trying. Its a good Tour this year.

I'm keeping the fingers crossed for Lance to win it - What a great come back that would be

Pherekydes

Anyone watching right now?

What a great bit of descending that was by Cancellara. He stopped for a wheel change and had a pee while waiting.

Then off again to catch the peloton in spectacular countryside.

Anyone hear that guy Carlton going on about when he bought a new wetsuit. He went back to his hotel room at 3 a.m. and tried it on while drunk. The zip got stuck and he had to go down to reception to get the night porter to unzip him.

rainbow kirby

I'm back in civilisation!

Time to eat lunch and then head out for 5 miles before the rain starts out here!
