The say anything, what's on your mind thread

[Spudulika]

I traveled 500kms to visit the dentist, and visit herself and do some work, and arrive to find he's in Greece! Also the 2 people I was supposed to meet are at their dachas until tomorrow and herself is out at her parents. I'd like to say I'm disappointed - but I'm sitting in my shorts on the couch deciding between going to watch the New Terminator or staying on the couch and having a sports marathon (TdeF, Wimbledon, Wexford-Cork, Jamie Conlan). I wouldn't mind, but I arrived at 8am this morning and got all washed and shaved for a busy day. Oh well.

I thought that poor kid Walsh who lost his battle with cancer got away with some pretty idiotic attitudes towards suicide/depression just before he passed away.

I thought the same thing. I never had the balls to say it though.

Fox News host can't stand Rory McIlroy because he is quote a "leprechaun".

http://www.the42.ie/fox-news-rory-mcilroy-2201785-Jul2015/

Both unsurprising because this isn't the first time nor will it be the last time a Fox News host makes a racist remark about Irish people, and surprising because of the amount of prominent Irish-Americans who work for Fox News (Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly, Neil Cavuto).

Neil Cavuto? Is he one of the Ballydehob Cavutos ?

Irish-American on his mother's side. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people with Irish surnames and Irish heritage on that network.

Moron stands by her moronic derogatory remark because Rory was mean to his ex-girlfriend and some of my best friends are "leprechauns" so there na na na na na na.

I wonder if the moron would call an Italian a "greaseball", a Mexican a "jumping bean" or a British person a "limey" and stand by it. No, she wouldn't.

TBH I am more offended by how unfunny it all is, and sterile. Jeez if you are going to crack a joke, at least make it funny.

My dad is as huge a Bogart fan as they come and for years "All Through The Night" was easily one of my favourite films. Still is to some extent. But for some reason despite seeing so much of his stuff I never actually sat through "Casablanca" in its totality until last year. But my God it is spectacular.

The script, the acting. It's a prime example of "They don't make them like athat anymore". Stunning.

Anyone else download Windows 10 - first impressions?

[BonnieShels]

Anyone else download Windows 10 - first impressions?

I still haven't. Currently wading through months of updates for 8.1 I didn't bother with.

[nigel-harps1954]

Considering taking the plunge myself, but the only thing worrying me is a supposed issue with privacy settings. In a nutshell, Microsoft are keeping track of all user data and privacy settings for use with upgrades.

[NeverFeltBetter]

All of that stuff is quite irritating, more in that such little effort is taken to inform the user. It can all be all be turned off without too much bother, but you have to be told what to look for, some of it is buried in sub-menus of sub-menus of sub-menus. The "WiFi Sense" stuff is what annoys me more (five menus deep from the desktop), but I toggled all that stuff to "Off" the moment I booted up the OS proper.

As for impressions, its fine. I skipped 8 entirely, so the apps take a bit of getting used to, but the interface isn't that far removed from 7. Once I got Chrome and Office going, I was happy with it. I have had this strange glitch where the task manager tells me 100% of the CPU is being used, when it really isn't (or else its the smoothest running 100% ever) but that's about it.

Tried to put in the codes on sky to get BBC Wales for the eggball game on Saturday...can get every bloody BBC channel under the sun EXCEPT for BBC One Wales. Tis quite annoying.

[Eminence Grise]

Oh, it's one of those films that has everything. Up there on my list of all-time favourites. There aren't many who could hold a candle to Bogart, and Ingrid Bergman was simply luminous. Always felt sorry for Peter Lorre (Hnk! Hnk!) You should see him in M to really appreciate how brilliant an actor he was.

Welcome back.

Did however, find similar codes to get the BBC One Wales HD, so cheers for that.

Yes, Saturday I'll have to work properly though, last week was just getting back into it. Can't get to Sunday's matches because of a Blessing of the Graves. Meanwhile, Friday night is Rovers-Pats, lucky me!

[Crosby87]

Spinach isn't actually good for you bc the leafs contain oxalic acid which can block your body from absorbing pretty much all vits amd minerals for days...which shocks me.

Also...Annie Lennox has this hot 22 year old daughter and she was with her older bf on the hudson river yesterday kayaking...and he fell out or something and now he is dead. And they said she was drunk. He may have been. But even though they didn't have life vests on...it seems silly. Also i think its pretty polluted.

[Spudulika]

Trying to put together the following. I think there was about a thousand in Inchicore on Friday, really good chips, atmos and full-on effort from both sides and Bray really unlucky not to get something from the game (even though Pats should have wrapped things up early). Amsterdam Arena on Saturday night, nearly a full house, fans were usual European "aren't we great that we sing from a hymnsheet" type and while there was skill on display, there was zero bite to the game. Gotta love our League!
