I see ToryLite and Chancellor Rachel Reeves are beginning the process of preparing everyone for bad news, with her pre budget speech. It looks like tax rises are on the cards.  Yet another manifesto promise about to be broken.

*I didnt see another specific thread on these jokers, apologies if I missed it.

Hard to know what way Armagh will approach this game, considering they have already topped the group.  I suspect that there wont be as many changes as there could be.  A few players who maybe need some extra minutes will get them here... I'm thinking Grimley, Oisin O'Neill (if fit), McElroy and McCormack.  I'd be a great believer in momentum.  I dont think Armagh will take the foot off the pedal at all.

Galway will have some fire in them for this one. They obviously have the talent in that forward line to cause Armagh serious problems. Armagh will have to be tighter than they were at times v Dublin.

I think it's about time that this tool had his own thread.

I see he has been at it again this morning on social media, with messages about Paul Hughes, calling into question his Irishness cos he is from the north. I believe he has since deleted these "tweets" but they are easily found.

He was upset because Hughes is quoted as saying he wasnt like him, and that he is his own man, when speaking with the Dagestan's at the weekend fight.

McGregor continues on a downward slippy slope.   

Looks like Rishi is announcing a summer election.

Maybe hoping for a bit of Euros feel good from the electorate but surely they are on the road out.

Jeffrey about to lose his income and expenses too.

The best major (IMO) is almost underway again. Who are the fancies?

Is this finally the time for Rory to add the green jacket to his collection?

Anyone else having a nightmare trying to get one of these? I was unsuccessful securing a pre-order a couple of months ago.

On today again trying to get one as currys etc said they would have more online on release day. Sites crashed and basically most people had no chance.

Thankfully this isn't something the kids have asked for this Christmas but I am sure plenty of parents are pulling their hair out.

Big scare in the news this morning around a new virus in China.  City on lockdown.  People fecking around with animals again... "This new virus originated in a seafood market in Wuhan that "conducted illegal transactions of wild animals", authorities have said."

No doubt it wont be long until cases of this arrive in Europe.

I was looking for a thread on this but one must not exist! Amazing.  Surely there is at least some interest if only to abuse the teams that knock your accumulator!?

Do super Leeds have it won already since they're are now playing the best football in England under Bielsa? Will Villa finally buy their way out of the league? Will Lampard be sacked before Steve McClaren?

No not drugs but the electronic ones. Was in carphone warehouse earlier and was looking at a few of the tablets. With so many different ones available it's hard to know what to go for. Samsung, iPad, motorolla, hp, etc what's the major differences and what is the best quality for money.

I'm really only gonna use it at home mostly and I have wifi. In saying that I could see me using it a lot. Is there a need for 3G and do they have to be bought on some sort of tariff?

I apologise if there is already a thread on this and I will delete.

quick question.  The wife is considering buying a blackberry on the orange network but she has been with O2 PAYG for about ten years or so.  The only thing holding her back is changing the network... is there much difference?

the same phone contract on O2 is £10 per month more expensive than orange!

this is a package i have never used before. we are doing a celebration thing in work and i'd like to be able to do a collage of pictures which could be given out to everyone. is this possible on this package?

looks like Hatton vs Mayweather is on!! i've been looking forward to the possibility of this fight for a while now. Interesting to see that Hatton has agreed to move up a weight for the fight even though he was lucky to come away with a victory the last time he went to that weight.

Whats people's views on this one? i still reckon Mayweather's quick hands will be too much for him.

i see young Hewitt may not be going to Iraq after all because of an "increase in violence".

i'd say he'd be top of a hit/kidknap list over there alright.
