No-one helping me with my problem? :(
When you put new songs on Itunes you have to sync them with your Ipod,make sure on the options screen you have sync all music ticked maybe thats why that album isn't on your ipod it probably is on itunes but just not ticked to be synced to your ipod
You don't have to have your iPod synced in iTunes in order to put music on it.
I wouldn't want to complicate the instructions for Ziggy.
I find it easier to manage the content on the iPod if syncing is turned off and just transferring new stuff or desired stuff to the iPod manually in iTunes.
If Syncing is turned on, iTunes will automatically dump all the stuff from your library on it and update everytime you connect your iPod.
Ziggy, test to see if the same song on your iPod is skipping in iTunes as well as your iPod. That means play the song in iTunes without your iPod being connected to the computer.

One option is delete the skipping track from your iPod and transfer it again to iPod from iTunes after you have determined that the iTunes track is good.

GAA Discussion / Re: MEATH VS DUBLIN: 3RD JUNE

I woudn't miss this game for anything.
Dublin Meath games should have form of an amnesty :)  just because a camera picks up a cowardly punch it should not mean a suspension.
In a game like that you need two refs.
In the end it was a draw and that was fair natural justice.  
The worst tackle that I saw on screen was the 2nd half 'tackle' on a Dub player in mid air while fielding the ball was clearly flung with force to the ground and got hurt. Nobody seemed to take a blind bit of notice even though everybody seemed to see it.
I'd grudgingly say Dublin played some great football while Meath out fought them. Dublin had the better discipline when I thought they should have been responding in kind to the Meath tactics.

Do the neutrals enjoy this spectacle more than the Meath and Dub fans?

Do you think he would have enough cop to record his marathon session with Dell support and then upload it to You Tube?

By the way, I have a hilarious mp3 about a guy who phones up DELL support because he cant switch his mums laptop off. If you want a copy then pm me your email address. Alternatively, if you can host it then pm me too.

This is it I think.

I wonder who put it up on You Tube? I doubt that it was the inbred with sh#t for brains calling support.

Like Donagh I hope it doesn't turn out to be some arty farty shite,  an esotheric tome on the decay of the body, isolation of the spirit and a soul in crisis.
I can't think of too many prison political dramas that were rock solid sincere as well as good drama.
There was a South African one, a made for TV  movie  which was excellent, a gripping minimalist affair with Louis Gosset jr and Eric Stoltz?
Louis was investigating the conduct of a top prison officer and his role in the death of a prisoner, Louis turns the tables and twist the methaphorical rope on the guard's neck tighter and tighter, can't remember the name. Made at least 10 years ago.

Who is writing the screeenplay? Where is Costa Gavras? he'd be made for the job.

This is England.
Jose gets knighted.

OK, thanks. So all those memorials, biographies, commemorations etc etc are wrong and Donagh's right.  ::)

FWIW he was OC of all the prisoners in Long Kesh. AFAIA he was not OC of the Belfast Brigade.

I thought it was a wind up with the director being named Steve McQueen.
If it's the last 6 weeks of the hunger strike then it will start with the lead up to him being elected MP.
The world's most famous IRA man.  

His Holiness, it's no big secret what Sands was involved in.
He was an active member of the IRA.
Actual proof was a handgun found in a car with 5 occupants, 14 years sentence.

It was me you claimed was the 'Rovers fan abusing disabled children'?  ??? No wonder you got lagged for being a random nutter. You really need a hug or something. Get over yourself, you went onto a closed forum for members of a club and stirred it up to play the victim when the inevitible happens. What did you prove? You can get barred. Someone give the monkey a banana.
Maybe you should have stated you were a Rovers fan. On a Rovers forum. Imagine.  ::) Whatever next.
This forum is a generic forum for all GAA supporters. Some here are county players, some are club chairmen, some have never been to a game in their lives. You dont have the right to declare who is or isnt a 'fan' you arrogent tosser.
Now now, keep the bricks in your pocket, you're not in the pseudo hard man ultra forum now.

Some time ago you wrote this
QuoteI am a member of a club in the area and am furious that TD are willfully and publically setting out to kill another sporting organisation.
I take it that the club you say you are a member of is anything other than a GAA club. You have only one agenda with the GAA.

Kilbane, Potter,  Ireland,  Hunt, O'Brien, Miller

Midfield is desperatly weak. Who's going to put in a decent tackle? Who can tackle? Who can play as a defensive midfielder.
That midfield selection takes away from the whole purpose of blooding in the other new boys. Joe Gamble could do it but there is an EL programme.
Ireland does a lot of work for man city and has showen he can do it at international level. i think he is our next keano
Stephen Ireland is not a defensive midfield player, nor could you describe him as a box to box player like Keane.
I see Joe Gamble has been called up :)

Any particular reason why the thread subject title is called the official Glasgow Celtic thread?
Where else could Celtic FC be located?

As mentioned, it's hard to argue with a zillion% salary increase and EPL management. I thought he had a bizzare reaction after the victory against Spain, missing out on the pleasure of rubbing it in with 40 grit. I guess that most NI fans were hoping against hope after that.

The final  "permanent" ceasefire decision by the IRA was the single biggest contribution to the process. Very little could have happened without that.

Not on the list but whenever I heard David Irvine speak I was optimistic about the process. I don't know if many listened to him but I'm glad he was around.

Seems to me that botching is twofold, the first in the years that the site was left untouched. Rover's club had been botching things for decades. The basis for a well run sports club is one that's owned and run by the membership. Do you think that the zillion GAA club facilities have just materialized after rubbing some State genie bottle?  You really haven't got any appreciatian how it's done, have you?
Seems to me that Rovers fans have been blaming everybody and everything else over the years, except their inate inability to form a functioning effective board from the membership to run the club, purchase and build facilities.

Secondly,  there is a population of 100,000 around Tallaght.  City planners have shit for brains when it comes to infrastructure, schools, hospitals and sports. Instead of the issue being - where is the space for us to build our sports facilities? - it becomes divide and rule, fighting over scraps.
