Probably when the ref gets the sending off right.

Cross superb in first half. Very poor refereeing for Burren goal. O'Callaghan taken out in the build up to the goal. Referee allows play to continue even though Burren have the ball then books the offender after burren score

Lucky, lucky. Did the ref bottle it?

Hernandez boots the ball away- No yellow card (Picked up another later on).
Nani elbow- No red?
Vidic goes into the crowd- No second yellow?

Enjoyed Villa's young fellas. That Albrighton is no Messi, but he works hard and was a constant pain in the arse for Evra!

Hernadez should have been booked but it wasnt an elbow from Nani and would have been a harsh red.  4th official explained the vidic incident as him being pushed in rather than jumping in.  Unlike Young, Vidic stayed pitch side of the advertising hoardings.

Saw a couple of games in the Darrell Royal Stadium when I UT and it was simply too big, very hard to follow the game from the cheap seats, very steep stands

Was at Dara O'Briain tonight and thought he was brilliant.  Id been to see him earlier this year and didnt realise it was the same tour until I got there, despite that I still didnt stop laughing all night as he had clearly refined his material.

Best four teams this season so far, Chelsea, Arsenal, West Brom and Wolves, that would be some champions league line up next year, Wolves and West Brom 

Wolves who have won one point away from home all season and sit in 19th?

I've seen John Bishop live and was very disappointed, he tried to interact with audience but wasn't good enough to stray from his material, so it resulted in a lot of him standing there pretending to laugh and stuttering while he thought what to say next! I personally found it very uncomfortable to watch! Best I've seen live must be Dara o briain or Sean Locke. And anyone who would want to walk out early on Frankie Boyle plainly doesn't get him and shouldn't have went in the first place.

A lot of his audience that night mustnt have gotten him either because there were an awful lot of empty seats after the interval.  He just wasnt funny that night at all and couldnt handle heckles so just resorted to say f off rather than trying toward the end very poor indeed

Shambolic play how Utd lost the ball for that goal

I would go to an awful lot of comedy events and the best gig I was ever at Dara O'Briain on the tour called "the tour that was almost called the you had to be the tour" or a similar name.  Its the tour he writes about in his book called tickling the english.  Ive seen him since and whilst good hes never lived up to that night,

Other events that deserve mention for being surprisingly good

Lee Mack

Adam Hills

Micheal McIntyre

Eddie Izzard

On the other hand the worst shows Ive ever been at were

Billy Connolly

Bill Bailey

and the only one I ve ever wanted to leave early Frankie Boyle

Ive got Sean Locke and Dara in the next 4 days so all may change again.

I notice it

Only by the night is one of only three albums I have ever bought twice.  Once for the house and once for the car.

You must be flush! Never thought of running off a copy onto a blank disc?

Music so lacking in imagination wouldn't stimulate the brain.

I tend not to use copied cd's simply because I feel the sound quality is (albeit slightly) degraded on the copy.  Even though I store most of my music in either FLAC or Apple Lossless files I still prefer the sound of an original cd.  Given I picked up the second copy for about 4 quid in Tesco, I think its worth it for the good, well recorded albums.

Maybe its because I have listened to Come Around Sundown a lot recently that I like it so much. Only by the night is one of only three albums I have ever bought twice.  Once for the house and once for the car.

Also is Slane not in May this year rather than August?

There's a shower on each floor so that wasn't much of a problem. Trying to find the names here and can't but from memory I've stayed in the Belgravia B&B the Victoria b&b, the New International or New England International (it was ensuite) and Victoria Park. Tbh I just went on the reviews from late rooms.com and booked from there. All were clean had friendly staff and were handy but I only slept and got washed in them never ate or stayed there during the day. That said the last time I was in one of those was October 2008 

I'm very excited by Kings of Leon and have thought their last two albums have been their best yet

I've found a few cracking b&b's in Victoria that were around 30-50 a night. Only issue was most weren't ensuite. Very handy to everywhere from there but you don't get great deals unless you leave it last minute which always presents risks

Just trying to illustrate that warm water freezes quicker but I'd say the alcohol in cool water probably helps

Is this true or just an old wives tale? Is it a scientific fact that it takes water at 5 degrees longer to reach zero than water at 50 degrees?

I doubt it.

The hot water is more likely to be supercooled. This means that the hot water's temperature is more likely to cool to temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. In the cold non-supercooled water, ice crystals form and float to the top, forming a sheet of ice over the top of the water, creating an insulating layer between the cooler air and the water. This ice sheet also stops evaporation. In the hot water that has become supercooled (thus, no longer hot) the water, when it does freeze, freezes throughout, creating more or less of a slush before freezing solid.

Why is hot water more likely to be supercooled? Because hot water is less likely to contain tiny gas bubbles. Gas bubbles form from dissolved gasses as the water cools. When the hot water was heated, these dissolved gasses may have been driven out. In cold water, ice crystals use the tiny bubbles as starting points for formation (nucleation points). But in the hot water, there are no bubbles, so there aren't as many starting points for the ice crystals.

Thats me told 

I'll have to bow to you on this one, all I know is thats its known as the mpemba effect and we did an experiment to show it in alevel physics with water at 35C and water at 5C.  The only reason for the experiment was the teacher wishing to prove we should use cooler water to defrost our windscreens
