Finally, and I mean finally, managed to complete the 2048 game.

Must have played almost a hundred games since PR posted it!

Struggling big time. Met an Italian dude to watch the game and then he persuaded me to go out to the Workman's club after as it was his birthday.

Was totally worth it though, the dude was an epic wing-man.

Was persuaded to go out as well (you really don't have to twist my arm). Was in Grafton Lounge for a good while, and ended up in Pygmalion, for some reason that's eluded me both today, and last night!

Got chatting to a pretty cool woman, and got her number to meet up with her next week. So like yourself, Pepe, was probably worth it.

Watch the bhiiiyyys la! :pac:

H'on the lads

Pawwed Rig · 15-07-2014 12:27am

So it looks like Mrs Rig put her medication in with mine so for the last week I have been taking an antihistamine instead of the stuff I am meant to be taking. Same size same shape.

Always read the label kids:pac:

Hitting the high notes in the morning shower too

How's all by everyone anyway? Any plans for the week?

How are we all?

Obligatory, "Grand weather, eh?" mention.

Almost over the hump day! Looking forward to getting home now and heading to Ringsend Park for a while.

I'm going for a coffee and hoping to cruise through the last half hour. Got a bit of a lie in this morning due to having physio at half 10 - worked from home for an hour then went and got my Hamstring tendon and back rubbed for an hour.

Good news is that I can return to training tomorrow, play a match Monday and physio again on Tuesday to see how it holds up

Panthro · 16-07-2014 10:48pm

I'm watching the original total recall on itv4.
Terminator was so much better.

Liam McPoyle · 17-07-2014 7:54am

Two quality movies though for me, the ultimate 80s action movie is Robocop.

Watched it again recently for the first time in a long time and its still as awesome as ever.

Morning all.

D'Agger · 17-07-2014 9:37am

What did you make of the remake of Robocop? I actually thought it was quite good....except now that I think about it I'm struggling to remember the finish!

Really annoyed this morning due to my neighbours children - two of them out playing directly in front of my house and watched on as I proceeded to roll over some other childs scooter thingy that was wedged under the car

Got some shock, nearly damaged the car but do are children not taught to go 'Hey....watch out for that thing'

They're clearly not playing enough Mario lads and that upsets me!

I think the original is probably my all time favourite film. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing it. It seamlessly blends action, story and that good aul 80s' charm. The remake was a bit disappointing in that they had an opportunity to update the original. It started off quite well with the drone controversy but that just fizzled out for big booms and PG13 shootouts.

Havnt seen it bro, nor do I have any intention of doing so.

That's a hure having kids around but sure at least it wasn't one of the wee scour's that was under your wheel!

In fairness it's the only incident we've had in the 3 years I've been living there....barring the time we found a child in our sitting room! One of the lads left the door unlocked and he wandered in!

Sorry to hear about the scooter incident. Not nice, for a multitude of reasons. Still, if that's the only thing in three years, that aint so bad.

If the car had been damaged I'd have freaked....and then be known around the neighborhood as the guy who shouts at children :pac:

It sounds like you could be at a bar

*click

You there, gimmie one of those *points at wall of liquor :pac:

I was working on my own and getting issues landed at me left right and centre, was in poor form from the morning but grand now once again. Thankfully training was pushed back 'til tomorrow night....I'd have most likely hurt myself

Not too bad. I've had to bail on a barbecue because of today, just when I was beginning to get a social life sorted ass well.

My scepticism has been proven wrong. Recruiter sorted out 3 interviews in the last 2 weeks and I received an interesting offer today. Much to mull over the the weekend but a good 'problem' to have:)

Liam McPoyle · 18-07-2014 8:17am

Bit of a change out there today lads and lassies.

Tis mine and burds anniversary weekend so I'm on a half day. Staying in a hotel in city centre for the next 2 nights.

Tonight we are having a girl date, dinner in Restaurant 41 followed by drinks.

Tomorrow night it's man date, Australian BBQ, copious amounts of stout and the UFC on the box.

Noice!

Anyone anything nice happening?

Sounds like a nice weekend BC, can't wait for the McGregor fight, his opponent looks like a block!

I've training tonight and I plan on properly going hard - we've a big enough match Monday night so need to get sharp for that

I have been finding it hard to motivate myself to go out but I was actually looking forward to this as I seemed to get on with the chap who was hosting it. It was at 7pm but I didn't get home until 8:30. It would have been half 9 or maybe even 10 before I landed and I had to be in work early today as well.

True - in fairness most of my mates that I talk to always say the same thing - awkward silences & smalltalk can be annoying but they're necessary evils in order to get to know people so worth doing in some cases at least

I'm getting better at it but it is, as you've said a necessary evil.

D'Agger · 21-07-2014 3:16pm

How were the weekends all?

Went down home and took the mammy for lunch for her birthday, then a walk on inch, had shorts and a towel in the boot so went for a quick dip and a mint cornetto afterwards

Match tonight after work to look forward to and I've started to look into my brothers 30th present....hoping to go to Vegas with him so going to try get a helicopter ride over the grand canyon with a limo pickup and jaunt down the strip afterwards - looks absolutely epic!

Pepe LeFrits · 21-07-2014 3:32pm

Went to The National on Friday, which was as excellent as expected. Saturday I went on a pub crawl which was good craic, got 2 numbers and bumped into the girl from work. She’s got a boyfriend again now apparently so I didn’t try anything, but I’ll play the long game. It’ll never last! :pac:

Sunday I went for a cycle in the sun and hung out with the new flatmate in the evening. Bon weekend all round.

Sounds quality!

I'm looking into Nurburgring at the moment, thinking of heading over to do a few laps, maybe head via France - much longer trip but would try to see Normandy, Bastogne & Belgiums Ardennes region, Nurburgring & finally Munich if there's time

Pipe dream stuff but with the new car now's the best time to try it I think

Went the last two years - first year was a mess due to weather and poor planning around that factor - last year was unreal craic!

A good few of my mates are going this year but I'm not so sure whether I'll go or not, I've the Friday and the week following the Bank Holiday off but I'm shattered lately, haven't had time off since Christmas so could do with just chilling!

Just bit the bullet and bought the ticket anyway. Have a few friends going, and I loved Life Festival, even when that turned into a mud bath.

110 Euro is pretty good value for what you get, all things considered!

On a side note, I'm seriously struggling with sleep lately. I go through phases, but haven't been this bad in around 2 years. Can't get to sleep before three, seemingly.

Yeah that's the thing - it's a fairly good festival crowd wise - very little hassle at it and good craic to be had.

One of my mates went to Body & Soul this year and said it was like they took everything from Indie & just improved it with minor things that made a big difference. I think I'd simply prefer to go camping on a beach with some mates and chill out than go to Indie again - might go to a different festival next year i.e. Body & soul

Sleep is rarely an issue for me but it was so humid last night and I'd played a match so I was completely shattered yet unable to sleep, it was frustrating!

Knex* · 22-07-2014 10:52am

Yeah, heard great things about Body & Soul, especially this year. Like a combo of Life and Indie, which sounds amazing to me.

Line up at B&S is way better too

I think that Indies line up this year is as poor as it's been tbh. There's some good acts there in Delorentos, Hozier, Tom Odell but last year they had some brilliant DJs and it hasn't been replicated this year

Toby Kaar, MMOTHS & Aeroplane were brilliant last year
