    Formula One - 2017

    Im looking at this as the way football look at incidents after they occur. If the ref is believed to have seen it and given punishment for it, that punishment stands, if not then one can be given. The Stewards obviously saw the incident and gave a (too lenient) punishment for the action.
  2. I presumed that was the case. As an Irishman who grew up in England who then moved back for University at UCD and with a gf from Waterford, i am very used to it as well and often will use alot of the terms which probably sound very wrong with my English accent. your one and you know yourself probably being the worst.
  3. yes and use the word after in the context i presented, which is not usual outside of Ireland
  4. This is weird, i literally wondered the same on Sunday. Girlfriend said: they probably just use a different word, which after checking, they do not. Must be ''yama" same as to call
  5. you're after making a mockery of the language.
  6. This, People have talked about the bubble bursting for decades. The way i see it, is back to basic economics. Demand for housing grows faster than supply in housing. This makes prices go up. When i say prices thats the combination of rental prices and house prices. People need places to live and are either buying houses (house price increase) or renting houses (rental prices increase) or a mixture of both. Untill supply matches demand overall prices are likely to keep rising. My viewpoint is mainly from greater London though where the disparity between demand and supply is large

    UFC/Pride/MMA

    Nah, dont see it. If he does go back to UFC which im not even sure he will, this doesnt seem the one to have. He would have alot to lose but not alot to gain from it (especially now money for these fights wont be a big deal) If he goes back to UFC its to get the 3rd (170) belt. (IMO) Hes got a big Ego but has never made the wrong decision for his future, losing another fight at 170 wouldnt really cause much harm to his legacy, losing to Nurma would.

    Formula One - 2017

    Well i **** love it. Good on ya Seb. I feel like it is something MS would have done and adds some flavour to the very bland recent F1 seasons. I also might be biased as i hate that little cockwomble Hamilton. IMO he has always acted like a spoilt brat. BTW iv just read some things briefly, does hamilton talk/incur about being the bigger man, then also say "Lets take this outside"?
  9. Mine is meant to arrive today. Iv had the 1 and then the 3 which broke 2 months ago
  10. Ah, i used to have the old triple vodka with WKD as a mixer, back in my days. Also Fat Frogs which is a very irish thing: Blue WKD, Smirnoff Ice and Orange Bacardi Breezer pored into 2 pint glasses and shared with a friend
  11. Well i found that information mildly interesting . @BOF, dont listen to the begrudgers. What other alcohol based titbits do you have to share?
  12. The question is, if you believe in afterlife, what do you believe you are like in that afterlife? your "spirit"? does it have any mass? what does it involve. Everyone talks of a place with loved ones etc, but your love for those people and your memories of them are all in your brain: "After consolidation, long-term memories are stored throughout the brain as groups of neurons that are primed to fire together in the same pattern that created the original experience, and each component of a memory is stored in the brain area that initiated it" When you die, your brain stays in your decaying body and these reactions no longer occur. Thus even if there is an afterlife, you have no memories or love or anything which at all resembles you now.
  13. Hes not saying he doesnt want an afterlife, just saying you shouldnt be terrified of nothing, as you wont even know about it.
  14. Im just playing Devils Advocate here and im not actually saying this is a comparable belief to believing in God but: Would you belittle someone who believes the earth is flat, honestly?
  15. My Sister and BIL live very close to the Tower, they had debris falling in their garden and getting into their house. They offered their spare room for housing as soon they could, havnt heard anything back. I would suggest alot of spare rooms would have been offered maybe even more than needed if the other types of help and support is anything to go by.... I know families need houses etc but that's difficult
  16. Not underwear but swimwear, budgie smugglers is the brand.
  17. hmmmm, ill be keeping a close eye on the news before leaving the office today. Im not near parliament but right next to oxford circus which is where i get the tube from and one of the areas where attacks would be more likely due to numbers
  18. Me, also. If voting again, im staying remain but if theres not going to be a vote again, which there isnt, lets just get it don and sorted.
  19. Im not talking about Skinny Jeans im talking jeans that are slim fit. Regular fit feels like im wearing parachute pants
  20. Im pretty sure this very easy to answer: he will retire! Maybe the smallest chance of fighting for the belt at 170. Hes never going to defend a title, its not the way he works, as he keeps pushing forward. if he lost a title defending it he would lose so much of his hype (Money) and Legacy (Controversial but he is probably been worth over $1bn to UFC). The only fight i see him going for is 170 belt, to be 3 weight champion. As you can tell i love Conor and i think what hes done in promoting himself, to get to this stage, has been out of this world. He obviously has no chance in the fight though.
  21. I get this problem all the time, whenever i buy slim jeans, they always end up really tight round my calfs even though i would have thought my thighs and calfs would be proportionate.
  22. I wonder how difficult it is for people like that to calculate their tax correctly, i know they can hire teams of accountants etc but think about their income streams and all the different origins they come from.
  23. When was the car meant to arrive? you probably should have just said you were already away until the 3rd
  24. Broke my oneplus 3 last week so need a new phone. waiting till oneplus 5 launch next week and will probably get that. Also looking into the new Essential phone and then a few Chinese cheaper options, if anyone has any suggestions
