You are not a f*cking DJ. You’re an overpaid, untalented, cake-throwing c*nt.

Yeah snowboarding was very tough to get the hang of - I fell more times on my second day boarding than the entire time during my first ski holiday, but I'd never go back now. We looked at Andorra, but the problem was that most of the runs seemed to be quite easy and as we have one very advanced boarded with us, and I'd be an experienced intermediate, we needed variety.

Yeah its best for mid level Intermediates, always hard to find somewhere that can cater for everyone.

Snowboarding was really hard to get the hang of, it got to the stage that when I was turning, I was too scared to finish it because my knees and wrists were so sore from falling.

Lads im actually looking to go after christmas so Im wondering whats the story with bringing your boards with ya.
How much extra is it to get it on the flight?

I think it was 20 or 30 with ryanair one way when we were heading over, but dont quote me on that, I just rented when I got there

First trip snowboarding was in Kranjska Gora in Slovenia, one of the best holidays iv had, it was really cheap but that was 5 or 6 years ago. Thought it would be like riding a bike but was in New Zealand this year and was coerrsed into attempting a red run after half a days practice with a snowboard after 4 years, needless to say my mate disappeared into the distance as I ate snow for 20 minutes. Never got the appeal of skiing (always seemed to easy), although, there's nothing worse than seeing a 5 year old zip down the slopes on skies as you struggle to put 3 or 4 turns together.

On the Thai front - would have to agree that Diep Le Shaker is the best in Dublin. Pricey though, haven't been in a while so don't know if they've put their prices down.

Saba is alright, decent enough pricewise for lunch. Siam Thai can be ok. Papaya was authentic I think, been a while since I was there as well.

I did an afternoon Thai cookery course when I was over there last year - was great. 5 people and 1 chef, you go through 5 or 6 dishes. You get to pick the dishes - it was myself and a mate and 3 strangers - they outvoted us so I didn't really get to cook what I wanted. It was good though - so quick and easy, very focused on fresh ingredients. I'd be able to make the chicken soup from memory, tasty stuff. We made the papaya salad which I'd never had before, also very nice, spicy.

Most things with Q-Tip in them are generally pretty good.
I do have this song on my ipod

The first 5, maybe 6, tracks on that album are fantastic, but after that it's pretty sh1t.

I know a good few of the lads on here are quite internet savvy, so I wonder if you could help me out.

Trying to figure how to stop mp3s I post on my blog being so easy to rip from the source code. Any new stuff, especially unreleased stuff, I post I obviously don't have downloadable, but anybody can just go into the source code and find the .mp3 link and download it.

I've seen a lot of blogs at least have the .mp3 links encoded, but can't see an option to do this on the Wordpress audio player, and encoding them externally doesn't work.

Other blogs with the exact same audio player don't even have any .mp3 links in the source code, how do you do that? That's the ideal, but I'd be happy enough just encoding them for the time being.

There are ways & means around getting mp3's if your really determined, the most effective deterrent i ever came across was an mp3 that had a every 30 second intervals or so in the tune a voice over really loud saying,

"this is a copyrighted music production & only for sample purposes"

Not worth keeping or sharing but does what it needs to do for people wanting to hear a new tune at a high bit rate.

Nah, just stumbled across that in prison. I'm sure if you go back in his posts it'll be there.

I have gone looking at some obscure threads on boards alright but why prison

Jesus, now i feel like a right tit, i genuinley thought it was about prison & discussions around morality & rehabilitation etc would be the theme so never looked in it, cheers for this as i am sure it will bring many a smile to my face in 2011:D
