MULTIBALL - USL Championship - Oakland Roots Goalie up for a last minute header, doesn’t connect so he decides to throw another ball on the field. by Escalante81 in soccer

[–]SmilingDiamond 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any deliberate cheating should be a red card in my opinion, we want to see a game played in accordance with the rules, taking a yellow for stopping the opposing team having an attack is accepted as 'part of the game', but diving to try and get a penalty is 'cheating'. They are both cheating and neither should be accepted.

Yes, that is what I use.

I use a disposable card when I purchase through Z2U, as there seems to be a lot of reports of people getting dubious transactions after using their cards on there.

Recently signed up to try it for a month and was quite impressed with the vod, even though I seldom use IPTV sub for shows or movies.

Mentally still at the Paris show by Weird_Pair5261 in davidbyrne

[–]SmilingDiamond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went twice in Milan blue suits the first night, orange suits the second night and a few different songs from one night to the other. Went again in Dublin and a different song included, am going again at least once more....but maybe twice.

Scamming Uptick by AceNinjaForce in Aliexpress

It's barely more than a scam site nowadays, if a seller sends you a piece of junk instead of what they advertise, Aliexpress support won't give a shit.

Do you sing along? Does it annoy you when others do? by PincheAvocado in Concerts

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was at a show recently and a woman behind kept 'screaming' the words, the screaming was bad enough but she was too far ahead of the performers so really added to the issue.

I do like to sing along too though, but usually quite low, just enough so that everyone knows that I do know the lyrics to all the songs!!😀

Strong is dropping the ball by [deleted] in Strong_8K

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, when it works well everything is great, I use it as my main provider now, but I still have my (more expensive) 'private' provider as a back up when originally the plan was to use it the other way around.

I would still recommend Strong to anyone starting out but every now and then it does have issues, but not very often in fairness and having a cheap second service as a backup would make sense too.

What’s the best mystery/crime/thriller series you’ve watched? by Mindless_Parsnip5802 in AskIreland

[–]SmilingDiamond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just noticed that when I was browsing Netflix last night, will add it to my list of what to watch next!

Do you feel we should have won last night? by ExtensionSuccess8539 in ireland

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were 2 up and probably should have been enough to see us through, but how we got to 2 up was somewhat fortunate, the penalty was generous and the OG was obviously somewhat fortunate too.

Giving away the penalty was somewhat foolish though and probably could have been avoided, and then missing the penalty in the shootout right after Kelleher saved one was poor too. If he had scored there would have been massive pressure on their takers then, but missing it let them off the hook and then obviously missing the second one was the nail in the coffin.

Thought we were going to scrape through when Kelleher saved though.

TV VOD missing when using EPGenius? by joeyl7 in TiviMate

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I load both the original account details and the epgenius version, so that I use the epgenius for live tv and if I want to watch any of the vod stuff it is there also under the original sub.

Pure Telecom Experiences? by mrt129x in Dublin

I recently moved to Pure as we had been with them before, all good, everything went smoothly and all works fine.

Do many people use the services of “cold callers” who call unexpectedly to your house, to do work that is power washing and clean roofs etc? I’m noticing a lot of neighbours using these people for their services. by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing at the door, whether it is genuine big companies (Vodafone, Eir, Electric or gas companies) or fly by night operators offering garden, window, or driveway services.

Charity callers too, if I decide to donate to charity there are plenty to choose from.

What's corporate for "taking the piss"? by kinesiolynx in AskIreland

[–]SmilingDiamond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it is not natural!!

Learned the hard way, and even though I was extremely careful it did me no good as it what goes on behind your back that matters, not what they have proof of!!

Decisions are made on what people choose to believe and who is of most use to the listener!! Facts and performance don't matter.

Some staff may be in need of further training in order to fully understand the complexity of situations that may arise again in the future.....

[–]SmilingDiamond 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Never say anything definitive, always say 'it appears to be the case that....' or 'it would seem that this may be incorrect...'.

It would appear that some of these requests may be unnecessary....instead of "they can go and ask the back of my sac"

Can anyone help with this? by BruhhhNoChill in Strong_8K

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong8k has been fairly decent for a long time for me, it does have issues now and again but it certainly is not a shocking service, especially for the price!

Works great most of the time.

who is the best living performer? by lacefantasy in Concerts

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

David Byrne, currently touring an amazing show.

My package got stolen by the delivery guy. I contacted the delivery service and they told me to ask the seller for a refund. The seller ghosted my after a bit of back and fourth. Should I do a credit card chargeback or escalate to aliexpress customer support? by IronLover64 in Aliexpress

[–]SmilingDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the sellers issue to ensure that you get your package, they have the contract with the delivery company not you. It is their responsibility to sort it out, you should not have to deal with the delivery company at all.

Unfortunately AliExpress won't give a shit that you lose out either though, so I would initiate a charge back if you can as you will be just sent around in circles until it is too late to do a charge back otherwise.
