Like the surfers in Auckland, huh durkadurka? High tide at Red Beach means heading round to Browns Bay.

Anyway, in terms of board games, abalone is pretty addictive. And I was always impartial to a bit of chess, never particularly good at it though.

Not sure but Murray's expression would suggest he's not enjoying it...

Just sent a PM to JM08 - apparently he's "schooling" him...

It's a great game to play if you are a bastard, have underlying bastarding tendencies, or else just intensely hate all of your friends.

Oh totally.

But I've managed to lose the game when there weren't even any cylons. It really does capture the atmosphere of the first season though.

Dwarf Fortress is an enigma to me. What is its appeal?

I've cooled off now, I don't know if it even has an appeal, and that is it's main appeal really. It's a bit like Leo Cullen.

Warlight is an addictive past time. It's an online version of risk basically. You can play on the Game of Thrones world and stuff. Like 1500 territories!

Cheers for that. I played it once years ago and couldn't get over the ASCII graphics.

Oh yeah, I don't use those. You can get graphcs packs that go over the ASCII and they look much better like http://i.imgur.com/g3av8Vj.png or http://i50.tinypic.com/2euu0oz.png

All we need now is Zebo standing behind Farrell and we have our new summer sequel!

Would love an answer to this was trying to figure it out myself. You would think that they would at least have a link on the site explaining it.

thomond2006 · 16-01-2015 12:45pm

Does 42 mean something in sports? I don't get the name.

Due to competition with thescore.com I imagine but yeah, silly name.

TheGoldenAges · 16-01-2015 3:25pm

If they really wanted to become more international slanted they should have at least got a .com domain. .ie domain will always hold it back as an Irish website covering sports in other countries.

My favourite sports website grantland.com covers mostly US sports (as well as pop culture) but because of its universal name it can cover other things. Like for instance it covered the whole Messi drama last week.

The awkward moment when Ryan Tubridy shows a picture of Claire Byrne at school and you see your wife standing in it...

Probably more awkward that we were watching the Late Late in the first place.

RuggieBear · 17-01-2015 1:08pm

your wife is a teacher...?

No!! She was in the same class as Claire Byrne and was standing beside her in the photo Tubridy showed. Seems that personal grooming wasn't as big a deal for 15 year old girls back then!!

I just farted on the bus. 4 people turned around.

I felt like I was on The Voice...

durkadurka · 18-01-2015 9:41pm

So I have two gripes about today:

1. Marty Moore's dog sexually assaulted mine in the park today, when he licked my dog's genitals inappropriately.

2. I Brought the kids to the panto today. Sitting in the front row, I was singled out mercilessly by the dame every time she came on stage .
It was relentless and ruthless....

The Bath result doesn't outweigh these two atrocities .

Did you not give Moore a piece of your mind?

And he played well yesterday.

You should have retaliated and licked his dogs..... Actually, maybe not

I stopped watching in the 2nd half at 16-0, what happened from there?

shuffol · 19-01-2015 12:32am

You'd swear somebody scripts some of these NFL games. Incredible stuff. Wilson had a QB rating of zero in the first half.

Podge_irl · 19-01-2015 12:33am

God damn Seattle. Phenomenal ending for them but ugh

16 points in about a minute and then scored a TD on the first OT drive.

Just not a clue what happened.

irishbucsfan · 19-01-2015 12:34am

Didn't know Pete Carroll is 63 years old. You could easily believe he was 15 years younger than that, except for the fact he was at USC so long!

shuffol · 19-01-2015 12:35am

Green Bay imploded though. Have to feel sorry for Rodgers even though he was far from perfect. The two point conversion hail mary was the crucial moment.

Podge_irl · 19-01-2015 12:37am

If I end up losing the fantasy final to Buer AND see the Hawks win again...

P_1 · 19-01-2015 12:39am

Gah, had backed the unders on both games tonight, thought all was home and hosed...

thomond2006 · 19-01-2015 12:40am

Bah I'll keep on track with the NFL Fantasy next year. I've really gotten into NFL recently and tonight was awesome!
