  1. I think my dear mum has a better understanding of the offside rule than Collins does.
  2. Excellent now that we have lulled Spurs into a false sense of security it's time to go in for the kill.
  3. To be replaced by who? Magical Fairies? Nobody decent wants to own Villa and nobody decent wants to manage Villa and who could blame them?
  4. With the exception of Given, would any of our starting 11 get in the Spurs team?
  5. Gary Neville is boring me into a **** slumber here, analysing goal kicks? **** OFF!
  6. COME ON VILLA!!! Lets surprise everyone including our own support!
  7. I hope to **** I'm wrong but Hutton is going to get raped. Otherwise we could snatch a cheeky point.
  8. Can someone share the interview with me by PM, would be much appreciated. Cheers.
  9. Was the Lord of the Rings to nerdy for you? If not: Get the game. If so: Go back to bare knuckle boxing Colombian convicts in shark infested waters or what other manly pursuits satisfy you.
  10. There is only one Christmas move and it shall never be bettered!
  11. If I find myself having time to kill in a casino I do enjoy playing the video roulette whereas I never feel comfortable at table games like craps and blackjack. There's one machine in particular I like, it's found in Bally's operated Casino's in Atlantic City and in Vegas. I find they have two configurations at the higher end Casino's like Caesars and the Bellagio they'll have green 0 and 00 but at the lower end joints like on Freemont street you get one green making for better odds. Machine in question: How I play: Go to the machines that have a 25c minimum and a high maximum (every bank of machines is generally in a different configuration) plonk in $20 and get the ball rolling. -> 25c on black If Red or green comes up -> 50c on black If Red or green comes up -> $1 on Black If Red or green comes up -> $2 on black and 25c on green as insurance. So on and so forth, after my 4th bet I place an insurance bet on Green for every 2 bets and the figure doubles each time. After a couple of spins I usually get my bets back plus a little, I ignore the little I've made and continue playing like I just had the original $20. That is until I get to $25 which usually takes 5-10 minutes I then consider this play money. So at this point I continue the original routine but make random fun bets around the table for example $1 on a 2-1, 50c on odd, 25c on 11. Often I'll find myself back under $20 at which point the fun betting stops until I get back to $25. If at any point I get $40 in the kitty I immediately cash out, put $20 aside and start from scratch. About an hour of play generally ends with me making $60-$80. I've busted on my original $20 a few times but most of the time I triple the investment. It's fairly innocent betting and while time consuming can be a good way to kill the hours while friends are losing their shirts at the tables, added bonus in dingy casino's for free drinks while playing (granted the price of tips adds up when dealing with such low stakes). Anyway I haven't figured out the maths behind it but I know that simply being the game that it is you are as likely to win as you are to lose. HOWEVER the important part about the system is the rigid self control, with fixed circumstances for cashing out and placing wild bets you are far less likely to defeat yourself with a rush of blood to the head. Now we had a work casino night earlier in the year playing proper games with fake money thing. I ran it by one of the girls running a Roulette wheel who works the Tropicana in AC on the weekends she said I'd be turfed out pretty quick for doing this at the real tables. Firstly the dealers get pissed working with somebody placing minimum bets constantly, the house gets pissed cause you are taking up a seat that could be filled by somebody looking to risk decent cash and finally because such methods usually work pretty well if the player has the patience and the discipline.
  12. Oh sweet Jesus I may have incurred the wrath of Cork! They'll be out to beat me with their langers, like.
  13. How anyone could claim Roy Keane was overrated baffles me. As a human being he was a piece of shit as a player he was superb. His second leg performance in the CL Champions League semi against Juve was one of the finest displays I've seen by any player in any position.
  14. Open bar after work vs an extra couple of hours playing Skyrim. Decisions, decisions.
  15. Great prospect made a terrible mistake, disappointed the fans, needs to make up for it on the pitch and conduct off the pitch.
  16. Spent half my day at work thinking about how I can scrounge together 25k to buy the house in Solitude without selling my cool gear. Can I not just get a feckin loan and pay in installments/kill the loan shark.
  17. That was my local cinema in Greystones growing up. :cry: Long since closed down.
  18. Utterly absurdly good. Entire weekend sunk in and I've probably only explored 20% of the map.
  19. Current running total of staff taking tomorrow off out of 47 in my department 16 are off for the day. granted there are a number of factors in play here: Tomorrow is Veterans Day so while we are open for business a lot of people have their spouses and kids off. Also we have a office piss up tonight so many people are anticipating brutal hangovers. Personally I'm knocking off at 2pm to watch the Ireland game but the silly factor is that some moron has scheduled an all hands meeting for the 400 staff in NYC tomorrow morning I'm half expecting to be the only one there.
  20. You might have to wait a few weeks until the reviewers finish playing it Until then the soundtrack alone is worth 40 quid
  21. I'm **** furious that Lindpere is back, he has just enough quality to make a difference.
