  1. Streaming music is all well and good but i take the tube so will keep my 32mb sd card for now
  2. It looks likely the allegations are not true, but just because you presume they are not does not mean they are not. We do not know if there was or wasnt racial abuse!
  3. From the Telegraph So we now get Compensation for flights delayed over 3 hours! The below website claims that if you pay them a membership fee of £21.00 then you will gain compensation for previous. It looks dodgy to me but was recommended in the metro this morning, which although i dont trust the Metro, i cant imagine them not checking a website before suggesting it. http://www.flight-delayed.co.uk "passengers whose flights are delayed have the same rights to compensation as passengers whose fights are cancelled." Im not sure that's a good thing, mean a lot more flights will just be cancelled instead of delayed, as it would be the airlines cheaper option Thoughts?

    I do, i want the drop down menu at the end of each thread to move to different topics and areas
  5. That I will most probably be on Sky Sports tomorrow and Saturday. Theres a documentary/ Highlights of the European Championships of Lacrosse being played 5 or 6 times. It will mostly involve the England team but considering we (Ireland) played England twice including in the Final, Im sure people will see me. Im just hoping they show something from the Semi between Sweden and Ireland, as it would quite likely include my goal, which I am very proud of (commentator said after the goal – “the boys got skills, Take a bow son, That is some serious showboating) Anyway iv sky+ it

    Blue Pill...depending on rules of the game. Take it when im 70, and become a master of an extremely strong and athletic sport like rugby or NFL. Bearing in mind to be a master id need a body of someone alot younger than 70. Green pill....... how quick can i fly? can people know i can do this without any problems? i mean they might find it suspicious if im in NYC every sat and Rio every Sunday etc Pink would always be fun
  7. But do you not live in Ireland?
  8. Hey Guys, So a lady friend of mine from Cork is looking to get a new phone and is on O2 but can change network. Now I know nothing of the best Network to suit her and it appears they don’t have giff gaff over there. I presume they are all quite similar (I was on meteor pay as you go back when I was over there) Anyway, she wants a new phone, has an old Iphone and isn’t bothered about getting a new one. The note is too big otherwise shes open to suggestion. Id suggest the Galaxy Nexus or the S3 depending on price etc. She wants her phone to “Take clinical photos, access to word and PDFs from email, whatsapp, viber etc.” so obviously it doesn’t have to be the best phone but sure everyone likes the best. I don’t think shes in any huge rush, so would you suggest picking up an S3/ Nexus, getting something else or waiting for something newer (LG nexus etc) cheers for the help
  9. Yeah, Spurs fans at work are all embarrassed about it and think he should definitely got a yellow for it
  10. Lol, same. You do seem to be pretty good at running though, Mike, no? Middle of the pack - probably better than the average man in the street (certainly of my age). But it requires no real skill. I Jest I could'nt run a marathon, im a good runner when it comes to sport but just running, not my bag!
  11. This or +1 or however i am meant to advise these are also my thoughts. Holman, KEA and Guzan are our best performers. I think Guzan has been ok as with the other 2 but feel people overrate because he has a cult status
  12. ha thank's...I think you are mine also...mostly for your rage. I think most people look/hope for a post from you in 'things that piss me off....'

    Buying a Suit

    and yet spelling mistakes would be permitted :winkold: unless you are an undertaker , why would you have to adhere to such a strict code ? Lloyds of London Insurance! you mean that institute that lost £516m last year ? maybe they ought to focus on other things than the dress code :winkold: Well i work for a Lloyds of London Broker, we had a 30% rise in gross profit last year Edit: oh, and we looked positively dashing, while making that increase

    Buying a Suit

    You can tell you are middle aged when Next is too trendy and M&S is stylish Im 26 and will agree on that, i dont think most Next suits would be acceptable at work. While my M&S suit has 2 buttons the top being fairly high, a fairly thin lapel, is a good royal/navy blue and has thin but not skinny legs. I agree on bright coloured socks if you want some flair (solid red or blue are always good choices) and at the moment i also agree on no pinstripes! I have a very nice Power stripe suit but i dont think i could wear it anymore, it just looks outdated. Its all about a fairly darkish grey or navy suit at the moment

    Buying a Suit

    Nuremburg knows his stuff. I wear suits everyday and have to be extremely smart at work. I have discussed it before but a skinny tie would be extremely frowned apon and possibly requested to be removed. So i have a fair few suits as i wear them every day... especially after losing 35lbs in jan-march as i couldn't adjust the 44 jackets to a 38. My suits range in value. i have suits i got made in saville row, from reiss. from suit supply, from M&S and from the local suit place which alway has a closing down sale. Anyway the one which everyone comments on and ask where i got made is the England team M&S suit. its top notch for your price and you couldnt get a better looking suit that looks good in work but still a bit stylish. So id suggest M&S. i know some of them still sell the England one, id get that one if you can. remember, the tighter the jacket (within reason), the better you look P.S it was difficult being an Irishman buying a suit with the English football team crest on the inside but was worth it, i did have to buy a black permanent marker also!
  17. ME, that’s an awfull situation to be in, sorry to hear it! However as we are in the situation *these asterisks* annoy me a lot…. All those words need is to be between comma… I wouldn’t have much of a problem with brackets. There are already 2 sets of punctuation you could use, why have you invented your own?

    Im a Lloyd’s Insurance Broker (an insurance broker who brokes in the Lloyd’s Building, nothing to do with the bank) I would no doubt be ‘advised’ that a skinny tie isn’t acceptable. Im presuming this as I have not tried, a skinny tie doesn’t look very professional in my opinion anyway. What I do know is that underwriters are not allowed to take their jackets off at their desks in Lloyd’s. Edit: you said with the shirt aswell? It would be known that my suit would not be liked! anyway. You are on to a winner with the grey suit, white shirt and purple tie. Although the purple tie in this case would need to be a pattern (like the one above) or striped, not solid.

    Top One! Bottom one looks cheap. Purple tie and white shirt will work well (especially with lighter grey suits) On the earlier suggestions: I would not be allowed to wear a skinny tie in my industry. Please dont match your suit and tie! Grey suit, white or pastel (blue or pink only) shirt and a simple solid, stripped or patterned tie which. Black shoes, Black belt. Keep it simple and youll look sharp. P.S i have boxing later so will cancel out this gheyness!
  20. £10 to VT if we dont sign 2 or more! should we have a separate thread for this?
  21. Im trying not too but a few people on the course have mentioned we seem to be getting on rather well. Yeah ill just see how friday goes i guess then.. Personally id add her on facebook and hope to chat to her on that. But thats just the way i am. get all flirty without the others being around and she can do it from the comfort from her home. couple of messages back and forth and youll both know if its on the cards leaving neither of you worrying about it when you meet
  22. you cant stay with her just because of guilt. Understanding her situation is great but she has to understand yours. Hopefully the situation can be addressed and the circumstances change soon otherwise you cant hang around playing third/fourth fiddle!
