All the President’s Men

An absolutely perfect film.

Sounds like a government based gay porn film. No wonder you liked it.

Off to Brisbane on the 25th November until 26th February.

Avoiding winter by trading it for summer \o/

Enjoy the humidity and tropical storms, prick.

Based purely on the evidence of watching Spurs-Villa last Monday I would say Dier certainly deserves a chance.

To be fair you were watching him against Villa.

Any computer gurus help me fix why my laptop is being a little faggot? Google only tells me I'm entering my password wrong...

So my wifi just randomly disconnects on my laptop. Doesn't lose signal, just disconnects. Then it won't connect me for a fair few tries, after a while it will tell me the security key I'm entering is incorrect (it's not). And then just randomly connect again.. Windows 10, Lenovo Laptop, Virgin Media network, 2G. What is up?

Taking after its owner.

Insane how things work out.

12 years today since my brother was diagnosed and of all days he's offered new job worth $115K a year.

Pretty amazing

You gave him your AIDs?

Regardless of the opposition they faced, England winning 10 out of 10 is very impressive.

I've not watched them much this qualifying but I've read so many times people are bored when watching them.

Alot of the games have been as close to a training exercise as a full international could be. 9 guys camped on the edge of the box and at times we've really struggled to break them down. They intercept/tackle, hoof the ball up then the same happens over and over and it is a bit dull.

The games coming up will show much more how good a team we are, and will see how we are at counter attacking, which is what we're going to need to do if we stand any chance of doing anything in the euros.

Some guy from my cycling club who now works at Halfords just messaged me on facebook, saying they're looking for someone to ride their bikes tomorrow so they can film it. £200 (?!) for it, plus I get to miss lectures for a valid reason..

Yay! Now you can look like a faggot on camera!

It could be worse

I'm 26 on Monday, possibly unemployed again because I wanted minimum wage, single, don't drive and live with my nan.

Only messing with you man. It's tough when you've certain ideas about how your life should be and indeed what you want and it hasn't happened yet. Then you're stuck in some cycle and can't seem to break it. Have you thought maybe of travelling? Like doing 6-12 months in Australia or America? Just to kind of hit the reset button.

Happy Birthday Kevo you fucking waster.

So still getting fucked around by FastLane/DPD. When I went over to Germany, I had a suitcase shipped end of May, as it worked out cheaper than taking it on plane, plus I had to get trains either side so was looking a lot less hassle for me. Week later nothing turned up, so found they somehow managed to lose it, been trying to get my compensation for it since (as I did insure it) but they don't even reply to emails much.

I used to work as a freight forwarder, and those inclusive insurance policies are absolutely worthless. Its hard enough to get these courier companies to admit fault, let alone pay out on something.

Was off work ill yesterday so watched Southpaw and Straight Outta Compton instead. Both good. Jake whats his face is good in Southpaw. Straight Outta Compton was a good watch without being outstanding.

Results day! Only taken a month to get these bloody MRI results! Hoping theres a definite answer today and its something they can do rather than being told 'just rest the ankle' you can't ever really rest it, especially whilst working in fitness.

I went to the doctors yesterday about my ankle, sprained it 4 1/2 months ago and then went over on it twice within a couple of weeks, it just gave way. Its been a nightmare ever since, pain, discomfort, instability.

He told me basically, give it another couple of months. Fucks me off, I cant do anything, even breaking into a light jog isnt possible. Makes chasing round a toddler very difficult.

You guys I swear are a fucking jinxing bunch of cunts. Slipped last week in the pool area at the gym and may have retorn my cruciate. Was at the physio on Monday and there was a 3cm difference between my right knee (bad knee) and left knee which in the words of my physio is "substantial swelling" 3 months post op. Would honestly probably be better at this stage to amputate this leg and claim disability for it

Even if you didnt have legs you'd find a way to do your ACL.

La Liga player of the months. Can't help but feel it's missing something.

Yeah, anything other than a striker for the past season. They only have good forwards in Spain.

Alright.

Since I fucked up my exam I'm thinking about taking a job in Dublin. I'd be paid fuck-all though, so I'm not sure it is worth it.

What about learning Irish? If you think French is bad......

Drumcondra, next to Phibsboro really. 3 of us pay €1550 for a grand aul house. I pay €575 a month for a pretty big room. You can get places cheaper though obviously

But at least you are living with your mates, I'm guessing. They are sharing with all sorts, and have no say on when heating etc is on. Spend half their time at the moment in a coat indoors!

Awesome. Expensive (similar to Scandanavia though) but awesome. If you like pubs then there's no better place to live. You thinking of Dublin city or the suburbs? I grew up in the suburbs but basically live in the city now

Where abouts do you live now? My wife's sister lives in Phibsboro' & pays 600 euros a month to live in a room/bedsit/houseshare thing.

I still feel extremely bad for doing it, though I should to be fair. It has made me realise that, throughout the entire time you learn to drive, you are never taught what to do in the event that you have a crash. I've just been sort of muddling through everything so far, having to ask everyone I'm in contact with about it what I have to do next. It's very daunting.

I dont think we get enough teaching on what to do in this event, it seems as though whoever puts the test together believes that accidents/stupidity dont happen. Even during the event, I crashed 2 days after my test when I was 17, basically went round a corner too fast, camber threw me across the road and went into a ditch and knocked a telegraph pole down, and I think I pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in a blind panic, which obviously didnt help.

Voted today, feel like a productive member of society for a change. Hope to fuck the referendum passes, the "No" side are doing my head in

Voting on gay marriage? If it passes then you and Kevo can live happily ever after as a family!
