I don't get it either. I'm on a back to education scheme. It's the same amount as unemployment benefits so I get 188 euro a week.

I'm probably missing something really obvious but, you know the circles on the threads of the forum that indicate when someone's made a new post and you haven't read it. Why does the text in the middle move on some and not on others?

Mark James

Really want a PS4 to play Bloodborne but just can't afford it at the mo. Still play Dark Souls and Tetris but FIFA probably takes up most of my gaming time. Still on FIFA 14 though. Didn't think it was worth buying a newer version until I get a new console.

I much prefer it. Can't remember the last time I bothered with fiction.

Also 30 Rock is amazing too. Heard rumours there's a new season of Curb your Enthusiasm on the way too which would be great news. I think I might have mentioned it elsewhere on this forum but the best comedies of the modern era don't have laughter tracks. If a new comedy does I know I'm going to hat...

Narcos is top. I watched the entire thing in a day a few weeks ago. Took a while to get on with the lead guy but I couldn't stop watching it. Started to rewatch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia again. On regular television I tend to stick with quiz shows and sport. I can't explain why but I also go...

Pretty good. It won't let me access the high scores though. I'm clicking on it and nothing happens.

People who say horr-nedd viper on Only Connect I would have thought that people still do it now out of a kind of tradition. At this stage I'd be upset if people didn't do it and I'd add people who didn't do it to this list because I'd feel like they were simply not doing it out of some kind of desp...

I was going to send it to Private Eye but it seems it was a bit of an obvious joke as I've seen a few variations on the internet since I (thought I) had made it up. Hate it when that happens.

Had a dream last night where Adam Gillard was upset with me because I offered him a bite of my burger but I only let him take one literal bite. He was also complaining that I should have let him have more because he had done me a favour by passing on money I had given him to give to someone else whe...

There was an episode of QI where they said that the cells in your body are replaced, some at different rates, but that on average the cells in a human body are between 7 and 10 years old. However the cells are replaced in a aged state so I reckon you start dying when the first cell regenerates in th...

I'm inclined to think it's a non story in the kind of way that I think all drug allegation stories are non stories since I don't really care why anyone is able to do the things the do, drug assisted or otherwise, I mean could you imagine drug tested musicians?

What I don't get is why it has taken the FAs, who know full well how corrupt FIFA is and has been, so long to disassociate from the organisation. As an Irishman with a poorly supported local league I can kind of understand why the FAI, for example, might want to still be recognised or have some sort...

I'd rather see the 4 large be mixed in with the small numbers and the contestants don't get to pick anything. Six random numbers and a random target. Probably lessesns the chance of 4 large too much and increases the chance of 6 small though. Maybe include more than one tile of each large number? Th...

Mark, my point is, you would be more inclined to say female rather than male, as the answer to the question, If you KNEW for a fact, a group with 4 females in it, had won it. I'm not assuming everyone knows who won X Factor, but I'm assuming most of the ones who knew Little Mix had won it, would ha...

Surprised there's been little mention of the Scottish Independance referendum. I'm interested to know what peoples thoughts are here. I don't know too much about it but from what I have seen I think a yes vote would be a bad idea. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise though.

Maybe they'll update it but I should be first. Says I lost by three points but Khedira didn't play and should have been automatically substituted with Vlaar who scored six.

I was so loving this world cup so far but tonight has ruined it. If Brazil win the whole thing I'll probably be physically sick. Horrible team with terrible players.
