With Donal Murtagh and Mike McGurn and now Justin McNulty on board, is there any call for Paddy O'Rourke?

There might be a call for him to go away back to Down.

McGurn signed on the dotted line.

I'd imagine that the management team will be cosy in the cold weather, with no delays on the  oil deliveries.

So Queen Vic was a Roscommon bastard?

Anyone remember 'Rogue'?

Ah yes. I recall a colleague having an epic game started a lunch time, by 3pm he was on an epic 6000+ score and we were all advising him on killing Griffins and the like. Anyhow when the boss arrived he hit the boss key, which displayed a fake c> prompt, but the boss wanted some printout or something so he had to reboot the machine and never got to finish his record breaking game!

I have the odd game of its descendent Nethack even yet.

Is sterling in free-fall or what is the story?
Need to get dollars & sterling has fell recently against the dollar but will it continue to fall?

Who knows? Sterling is up a cent against real money today. For what it is worth the ESRI expect an average exchange rate of £1 = 0.85 for next year in their recent report. I would have thought a figure closer to €0.90 myself.

format a: /s

I remember many moons ago, someone asking me what the format command was. "Format" I said, statng the bleeding obvious, as I left the building. He entered Format (no A:) on the C> prompt, ignored all the dire warnings and formatted the 20MB hard disk!!

not for a command line, but bonus points for anyone who knows what ^kd does.

I am an Armagh fan. I welcome the appointment of Murtagh and McGurn.

I think the UK will beg to join at between £1.30 to £1.50 to the Euro,

Bollix. As noted above professional commentators are talking about a range of €1 to €1.11. The UK would never be allowed join the Euro with a super competitive exchange rate. They have been pissing everyone off for years and nobody would be willing to support them, to say nothing of the Irish government vetoing things at that rate or anywhere near it as it would ruin this country.

4GB is plenty for Vista.

A 32 bit operating system can only use 4GB anyway, so you'd need Vista 64 if you had more RAM.

Jim as managed pubs stew, dont think armaghniac meant wat you think he did.

In case there is any doubt, this is exactly what I meant, Jim is a successful pub manager.

I was at a wedding in the US of a friend of mine who hooked up on an Internet site. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

If ukraine and poland can get the euros, anything is possible

Nonsense. The Ukraine and Poland have a population 14 times that of Ireland, where soccer is the main sport.

what experience or success he has had at club level?

he has had some success at pub level! 

If you have no significant savings how can one come up with the 10-20 grand required to actually complete the purchase of the property?

If you have no significant savings then you should not take on the commitment to buy a house, especially if you cannot manage 10 grand! if you have the income to service a mortgage with something to spare for eventualities then you can save 10 grand.
