First topic message reminder :

So there is no rugby on now that I can watch

by poissonrouge Fri May 27, 2011 4:09 pm

And I note you aren't one of them (or dreamer either)

by red_stag Fri May 27, 2011 4:10 pm

Gibbo its all changed. Al-dente and steaming vegetables is the way forward in Ireland.

by Gibson Fri May 27, 2011 4:11 pm

Hoi Mrp! Good to "see" you back in the Pub. In truth, you were one of the 1st ones in, before yer Missus grabbed your pint and took over. Very Happy

Hows tings?

by poissonrouge Fri May 27, 2011 4:12 pm

Tings are OK - the missus is out with Megan at jimnastics Shocked

by red_stag Fri May 27, 2011 4:13 pm

Gibbo I hear your missus is doing the same soon. I was talking to your bro yesterday. Tried to sort him out with ML tickets but alas no luck.

by poissonrouge Fri May 27, 2011 4:13 pm

I mean Megan is at gymnastics - just in case you get any evil thoughts - Mrs P was a gymnast in an earlier life but she would confess that flexibility has decreased with advancing years unfortunatley

by poissonrouge Fri May 27, 2011 4:14 pm

Gibbo - is your missus at jimnastics? censored

by prop_lyd Fri May 27, 2011 4:15 pm

ANyone else wishing it was this time last weekend......

by Gibson Fri May 27, 2011 4:16 pm

That's good news Stag, but please dont tell me Ma. ;-)

MrP, I feel that group needs my support. But I dread joining any group, other then the Pub on FB. What that lot do with our info scares me. It's wide open to data-abuse, no matter what they say. All we do is post pics and a few comments. Harmless enough.

by Suspicious lurker Fri May 27, 2011 4:16 pm

Mick you lying Bar Steward

That is my drink ive been drinking it for years, double southern comfort and a bottle of blue. WKD, otherwise know as a Big Bert!

Not to be confused with the double jagermister and summer berry kopparberg, that's a whole different story

Anyway, that' sthe office for me - In at 08:00 tmorrow though Crying or Very sad

by red_stag Fri May 27, 2011 4:21 pm

Mick can you confirm is Kopparberg available all year round?

by Gibson Fri May 27, 2011 4:24 pm

Who is this Jim Nastics???!!! I'll have im so I will.

Ah Megan. angel

Give her a kusje from me please.

The missus gets up at 6 am every morn. Fast-walks around the park (8km) comes home for brekkie and then does a 15km bike-ride. She puts me to shame but Im ketchin-up.

Stag, that's a bummer about Seorses' tickets. He would have loved it. Since I got him into the game a few years back, he hasnt missed a game. Shelle too. It's great them meeting up and palling with you guys too. Best part of it actually. Hug

by poissonrouge Fri May 27, 2011 4:25 pm

Penfro - have you seen the spelling on that site - brings the provenance into question

by red_stag Fri May 27, 2011 4:27 pm

Exactly Gibbo its the best part of sport. My Dad couldn't believe this whole online community thing we've got going. A year ago he wouldn't have been anywhere near capable of having the banter like that. But he really has started having the craic since his depression last year. He was chuffed to bits that it was a REAL meet up.

by Gibson Fri May 27, 2011 4:30 pm

Prop, yes moi. I loved that meet-up man. Wished I could have spent more time with ye guys, but I had a blast with Kia, Mell, Chef, Rava, Chris & Puma.

An elder-lemon convention over great food, fine-wines, local cyder, local beer, jazz and conversation.

by Gibson Fri May 27, 2011 4:32 pm

He's a really nice man Stag. But too young and good-lookin for my liking. Wink

by Sin é Fri May 27, 2011 4:38 pm

Cari - I take it you know that Wally is making his 200th appearance for Munster tomorrow.

And since Barry Murphy is retiring ... take a look at him in his new career. Lurking with the Bodhrain is Felix Jones.

He is a pretty good singer.

Only try scored against the ABs on their trip North.

In case you guys didnt know, you can request to have videos added to the 606v2 you tube channel.

They are all then kept in one place for future reference (and labelled under rugby)

Details here:

Gibbo theres a photo I have of you two - both young good looking fellas!

Notch wrote:Yeah, I was performing with a system that outputs the guitar over 8 channels and uses a sensor on the head of the guitar to detect movement- that data is used to pan the signal over the 8-channel speaker array that surrounds the audience. The upshot of that is you can pan the signal wherever you want in real time just by moving the neck of the instrument- so that it's coming from the back of the room, the front, the left, the right.

It also has a looper with an in-built decay so you can build up this great surround sound texture with different sounds coming from all four sides of the room and it just slowly dissipates.

I worked with an interaction designer on putting the system together, its really wonderful.

There is a cracking game on the website Penfro found where you get to blow tomatoes to bits with an assault rifle! Very Happy

by mickyt Fri May 27, 2011 4:46 pm

Afternoon or evening all.

how are we all doing? been in and out today but haven't had time to post.

a bit of peaking from a distance..

someone give me at least 3 bullet points of what's been discussed today? go...

by red_stag Fri May 27, 2011 4:47 pm

- We had a discussion about Vegetables
- We discussed the demise of the good rugby ethos.
- We discused Munster v Leinster teams.

by Gibson Fri May 27, 2011 4:49 pm

Sin, they Rock man! Barry has a future in music. What a voice.

Ah Stag, flattery will get you everywhere with this aulfella. Wink

Sure stick it up on FB in the Diff tour pics.

Hobo, that's a great idea man, we can delve into our fav tracks - like the Pub Jukebox, instead of trying to find them on youboob everytime. Sorted. 8)

Cucumbers are fruit.

Tomatoes are also fruit

pm. for you lucky....

by prop_lyd Fri May 27, 2011 5:09 pm

I've put it on the book of face as well but: I really don't think i can afford to go to the baa-baa's match so there could still be a ticket floating around if anyone wanted it?

A view I've just considered. Leinster haven't played a full 80 minutes in a fair while. Is this the match they deliver an 80 minute performance Sad

I hope not. I hope they play for about 20 minutes and Munster do the rest Smile

by mickyt Fri May 27, 2011 5:20 pm

Good stuff Stag.

that will sort me out.

off to see Hang over 2 tonight with the misus. looking forward to seeing her actually. haven't seen her in a while..

I think I am getting soppy in my old age

by Cari Fri May 27, 2011 5:21 pm

Sin - I'm ashamed to say I didn't know that Cry

Bless 'im. I hope he has a good game for it. Will they put on anything spesh for him?

by red_stag Fri May 27, 2011 5:22 pm

Ah you old soppy fella Mick Smile

Though saying that I sat through an episode of Glee recently and agreed to stay in this sauna/jacuzi hotel tomorrow when my mates couch would have been better craic.

They haven't had to though Stag. I don't think you need to be at your game for a full 80 minutes to win games.

if you put in 25-30 minute shifts each half and contain the rest then you will win a lot of games.

Not to mention missing Munster's biggest game of the season staggy.. the things we do for our loved ones. Smile

Wisdom? That's not letting cucumber inside the house (my flatmate feels the same way about them as I do)

Yea don't get me started on that. I actually missed the bloody Harlequins match due to her too. We were away in Kerry with friends. Though I was glad I didn't go to it. Watching in pub was bad enough Sad

Ye. 1024 alright

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri May 27, 2011 6:04 pm

If others hadn't answered I wouldn't have known what you were on about, Dreamer. GB had me thinking of Great Britain, and I couldn't think what MB meant!

by Guest Fri May 27, 2011 6:08 pm

hahah sorry lucky I wasn't very clear!

And ty for the answers everyone else Smile

by Gibson Fri May 27, 2011 6:28 pm

Actually, the answer is either 1000 MB = 1 GB or 1024 MB = 1 GB, depending on the context. In the context of RAM, usually the powers of 2 are used and in the context of communication usually the powers of 10 are used. This ambiguity has existed for many years. Fortunately, there is an effort underfoot to use the terms Mebibyte (MiB) and Gibibyte (GiB) for the powers of two.

I would argue further and say it is 1024 if you're dealing with facts, and 1000 if you work for the marketing department and are a lying shyte.
