The TPU UK Clubhouse

[the54thvoid]

I have to sit in and watch the Celtic game today because Strathclyde police advised pubs and bars in Glasgow not to show both the Rangers and Celtic games today (they are on at the same time). The local here is mainly Rangers supported, generally though they do show Celtic games in the lounge but NOT TODAY BECAUSE OF THOSE CUNTS THAT CANT WATCH A GAME WITHOUT GETTING OVER EXCITED. The sectarianism is the whole reason the other local pub shut which happened to have a Celtic minded majority of patronage. I never understood why they needed 2 pubs on main street anyway. Sorry for the rant, if you don't understand there are big social issues in Scotland which football ends up as a product of.

Happy belated birthday IC

Yeah, the recent nonsense has been OTT. I'm fed up hearing though that it's all sectarian when most of it is standard same city rivalry which most major cities have and lets not forget there is violence across the UK still related to football. The press (English) tends to sit on it to avoid embarrassment.

When Chelsea played somewhere around the same time Rangers had the Europa fiasco in Manchester, there was more violence at the Chelsea match but it didn't get he coverage the Rangers one did.

Back to the Celtic Rangers thing - it's a Neil Lennon issue. He was an aggressive, hard footballer - it translates through to his management style. Most people i know that dislike him do so for his attitude, not his religious roots. Here's a nice story from 2007 to show that he's no saint (http://www.mirror.co.uk/opinion/2007/08/05/dump-neil-now-irene-98487-19574941/)

It's got bollocks all to do with being a Catholic. Martin O'Neil didn't get the grief Lennon gets (nor did Jansen, Strachan, Mowbray etc etc). Many of Rangers beloved players were Catholic, I even remember Jorg Albertz crossing himself before matches sometimes. And what about Amoruso?

I still think the best solution is to create Glasgow United, a team made of both teams star players. But the worlds not ready to stop being stupid so the grief will continue.

He cheated on his wife and that's a personal matter between him and his wife. That doesnt mean the guy deserves to get bombs and guys trying to batter him; Lennon was previously assaulted in Glasgow, Lennon also couldnt play for Northern Ireland for fear of getting shot. The thing is the reaction to Lennon is disproportionate.

No i do not think Neil Lennon is entirely at fault at all here. Sure Lennon is a big whingy ginger but lets face it how many other mangers have acted like him slagging off refs and fellow professionals? That's all he is a big moany cunt and the less you pay attention to it the less annoying it seems. It seems people need a hate figure and will use any excuse to hate the man doesn't matter what that is.

Lennon has had his haters for years but that doesn't explain the other public violence and instances of packages does it? If its all Neil's fault how do you explain other guys like McCourt getting sent bullets?

The thing is ive never seen him do anything entirely stupid at a game that he is so often accused of and i think that once you actually analyse the situation its totally blown out of proportion. It is okay to dislike the man because he talks shite, its not okay to dislike the man simply because he is Neil Lennon. Hes been forced into this vision of a demon making him out to be a bigger deal than he was. People created this image, you hear random people calling him a wee ned and with what proof? The mans had his fair share of abuse so i can understand him having a paranoia complex.

NO the real problem is that people use football as an excuse and both sides are guilty of it. Celtic are more than implicit in fostering a sectarian problem and i think if people really do want things to change the buck starts at home never mind blaming the other mob.

Boycott football; watch rugby instead.

Speaking of brains, anyone else watching The Walking Dead on Sunday nights?

Freedom, man up and hold that urge of yours. If muslims can survive 1 month dawn-to-dusk without food, you should be able to do 1 day.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

This is the worst case scenario -- Im tired. Im hungry. And im trying to find out if I was one of the people that managed to get my hands on an Asus p8z68-V Pro that Ebuyer only had 5 units pre-orderd and also the ETA of said motherboard since they dont actually have stock

Nice. I'm a bit pissed I missed a couple of episodes. I might buy the series on Blu Ray perhaps.

For some reason I'm drawn to post-apocalyptic movies/shows. Read into that what you will.

 

[scaminatrix]

My first attempt at cable sleeving (Phobya 1/8"). Just gotta put a new sticker over the old one and I'm away. Then I got a ton more to do in my rig

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Does anyone know how long Ebuyer take to reply to an E-note?

 

[MoonPig]

I've had it range from afew hours to two days.

@Scam, nice work

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Guess ive got a long wait then... I sent them an E-note yesterday around 3pm. was expecting a response this morning but no luck. checked on my order status and parts have still not been allocated to me.

I did choose the free delivery option though so I guess i wont see any progress until thursday/friday.

I still think they are holding my order back due to the p8z68-V Pro still not being in stock. they want to try get all the parts out in one box to save shipping fees

 

[FreedomEclipse]

On a more serious note.....

I cant come up with a name for my new rig....I usually build a rig when i come up with a name and it took me over a year just to come up with the name of my current C2Q system.

I was gonna call the new system Vanguard N.T.D as a small reference from Gundam Unicorn but then, i started listening to Dreamtheaters 16min10s track called Nightmare to remember and I want to call Knightmare N.T.D.

I was thinking about calling it Fall Of Dominions but that would make a better music album name or server name then a name for a PC and abbreviating it into F.O.D just looks shit. and doesnt sound good at all.

I want to name to strike fear into people without being too unoriginal or corny

(the 16m10s dream theater track for you progmetal fans out there)

If i cant come up with a name before i put the rig together it curses it.

but then saying that. Arizona I did catch fire -- PSU went bad, ate 2 4870s and made another catch fire. so its not been plain sailing for this rig either

If you want Gundam based names, there are too many, from Argama to Zeta Gundam. Just random a page in Gundam wiki and pick the first one?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I want original names not copies!

Though.... Arizona was kinda taken after the ship in pearl harbour.

If they ever came into production, Japan would conqor the entire world with pretty much almost no effort at all. though they would need to dig quite a big hole in the floor to keep them out of sight while they train pilots and such.
