  1. I'm thining about setting up an ftp or peer-ro-peer server to my music directory. Access will be to EDF musos that I've met in person. Any suggetions for software/protocols etc?
  2. Sounds nice, might take a book and chill too. Perhaps a walk around the green too. Cheers Sean Toodle Pip
  3. On the subject of Ireland, can anyone recommend nice touristy things to do on your tod in Dublin this afternoon?
  4. I love the duped comment. The only thing that duped them into spending too much money was their own avarice. Like sub-prime mortgages, if something shouldn't make sense, then it probably doesn't.
  5. Ha ha, possibly, but mostly cos she fell in love with the country a couple of years back when we were out there.
  6. It's sort of in Ireland at the mo' It'll be back in 6 episodes time though.
  7. The missus, who is wexford born and bred, is now proudly sporting her Puma's top. If Ireland can't have it, I know who she'd like to win it.
  8. it is a bit patch if you remember the whole 'definately' search malarkey.
  9. Espero que van a soportar las Pumas desde ya.
  10. Was a bit impatient last night at a bar (strictly coca-cola *ahem* honest) and this popped into my head Silver Bullet - 20 Seconds to Comply
  11. how funny, with an underscore it's all my flickr/photo stuff, without the underscore it's my rant at the Times' Dulwich Nappy Valley article, followed by the gaming geeks paradise stuff. How appropriate!!
  12. De Dub. Now off to lunch, without booze, will be difficult in this town!!
  13. I like to think the majority support is for the pink and blue, surely? Birmingham v ManUre 0-1 Chavski v Fulham 0-1 (yeah!!!) Derby v Bolton 0-1 Man City v Newcastle 2-1 Pompey v Reading 2-0 Sunderland v Blackburn 0-0 West Ham v Arsenal 0-3 (revenge is a dish best served cold i guess) Wigan v Liverpool 1-2 Everton v Middlesbrough 1-1 Tottenham v Aston Villa 2-2

  19. Grew up near Nasty and Much Hadham. Another I love is Lower Swell in the cotswolds (and sister village, Upper Swell).
  20. Pretty certain he was Irish, will double check when I get home. He's also pretty certain about the connection with the identification between religion and the nationalist struggle, though it was more rooted in the era of the late 19th century up to partition, nowt to do with the modern troubles. There's a whole bit quoting various dignitaries from Rome in the 16/17th centuries saying, 'blimey I wash my hands' etc. And I think he meant it as a complement, rather than anything else. Plus the references for both the points were in the early chapters so 16th century where the whole idea of nationality was only just beginning to take root. The dangers of my quoting out of context eh? Whoops.
  21. "...but I didn't know then what I know now well i know now what i knew then but i know now what i knew then yeah i know now what i knew then but i didnt know then what i know now" Modest Mouse
  22. Ben that'll do, you're a superstar!!
  23. I read R.F. Fosters History of Ireland. Large tracts, like any history are pretty dull, but he does like to interject humour where possible. (as any good Irishman should) He makes a point about the mischievous and unruly nature of the Irish being apparent from 2 things. One was the church's constant exasperation about how the Irish refused to pay much more than lip service to catholic orthodoxy and continued to be pretty darned pagan right up until the nationalist struggles of the last century. The other was the constant mangling of the English language much to the chagrin of the English. I think his implication on both points was that the Irish love to flick the bird at authority, and anything that annoys it is generally held to be a good thing ;-) Oh and it's interchangeable with luminous, fluorescent and generally bright as far as I can work out. Good word though.
  24. I'm not sure it would have bothered our bagpuss to be honest!
