OTB v3 - Revenge of the Banter Thread

Star Lord

The old O.T.B. 2.1 thread was getting periliously close to the dreaded 10k Boards-Breaker figure, so it's time to kick off a new thread!

So...

Erm...

Howrya? You're looking well.

the only thing I have a problem with is using my mirrors... it just feels unnatural to me...

Congrats on getting back on the road! You'll get used to the mirrors though, it all becomes second nature after a little while so that you don't need to think about it, you just do it.
The mirrors are vital to ensuring that:
A) You don't wipe a cyclist/another car/a biker out of it when moving in your lane/changing lanes/overtaking etc...

ensuring that you're aware of other drivers doing stupid stuff that can put you in danger!

Had a guy run into me at traffic lights just over a month ago, and only for the fact that I was stopped at the traffic lights, and saw him coming up too fast behind me in the rear view mirror, I was able to brace myself for it, so didn't get hurt.

Thanks, thankfully it was quiet out today when I drove over to Finglas, no bikes or anything on the road... did have one asshole use a roundabout incorrectly though but was prepared for that because I knew he was in wrong lane coming onto roundabout anyway.

The taxi driver was trying to overtake me and came in too early and clipped me when I was first learning and I just couldn't get over it, glad I did though.

Mirrors are a bit of a touchy point for me at the moment, failed another go at the driving test during the week mainly for using them too much if that's possible

My scarification design is finally polished off and ready! I’ll be getting this design cut into my chest on Tuesday, around my left nipple. Wish me luck!

rannerap

Would love to get a scarification piece but I think I'm too much of a chicken to go through with it :pac:

Cupcake_Crisis

I just discovered Beth Hart. What a voice! My god.....

RhoDoDenDron

Crap, my friend who was supposed to be photographing my scarification can't make it. Now I need to find a new one. Grrr :O

What kind of photos are you looking for?

Angron

Urgh, work up planning to go for a cycle, and have been monumentally sick instead. :mad:

jenizzle

Eep! Had proper discussions about starting some tattoos over the next few weeks. I are excited! I'm gonna get soooo many skulls :pac:

Ah Jesus, hope you feel better soon, Denny.

Angron

Yeah, seems like it's just gonna be a day of flat 7up instead :pac:

Have a slight dilemma. I have 2 tickets for the Amlin final on Friday, my mate who was going to head to it with me has a GAA match that has been rescheduled on him meaning that he can't go to it anymore. Do I do the unethical thing and flog the ticket for profit or do I try pass it on to another deserving soul?

Angron

How much are the tickets?

I have a set of tickets myself.

Tbh, while I'd love to sell it for profit, I'd have a look at the Leinster rugby forum. There are so many fans dying to get tickets, and so many touts charging disgusting prices for tickets to the Amlin (up to six hundred euro!).

If I were to sell it, I'd only sell it at face value tbh. I don't think it's fair to profit from a genuine, real fan.

30 odd euro IIRC, but they're selling for up to six hundred at the moment.

P_1, do you have tickets for the Heineken final? There are people trying to get rid of those and get Amlin tickets on the leinster site. You could always swap? That's if you have any interest in a match we're not playing in, though. :pac:

P_1

600? Holy jaysus that's some mark up! Nah I was in too much of a drunken haze in London last year when they went on sale to pick one up. Think I bought the Amlin tickets once Racing got their lad sent off back in January.

Bloody GAA

Angron

600 is nuts. While I'd love to go myself, it's not really feasible for me. I've never actually gone to a proper rugby match, despite living just down the road from Connacht's home pitch last year :pac:

Yeah, the mark up is huge. So many people didn't even think about the Amlin, so got Heino tickets instead.

But yeah, while I'd find the temptation to profit on it great, I'd personally sell it at face value to a real fan.

@Denny, you wouldn't have seen a 'proper' rugby match at a Connacht grounds anyway!

Connacht matches have gotten better lately. I'll see what the story is with my mates match and then decide I guess

Angron

Hey, I could possibly have gone to see them play Leinster :P Still, they are the worst of the four provinces from what I've seen.

I know they have, I'm just taking the píss.

Hmm. If you decide to sell for profit, fair enough, but maybe don't go too far above double the face value? It'd still be affordable for fans, but would make you profit too?
