"We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil -

Every season of the walking dead is the same as the last just in a new place with new people.
Its fucking ridiculous.Comment

I still like it but yeah, it's pretty stupid that nothing ever happens towards any sort of overarching plot.Originally posted by CHDog View Post
Worst part is the places get more boring, season one was actually interesting.

Watch the first,last and middle 2 episodes of each season,they are the only ones where anything happens ad what little character development there is occurs(except season 2,you can just skip it). All the rest is just no budget padding. I've just saved you 40 hours of your lifeOriginally posted by MrsFlushdraw View PostComment

I was late for my first test and drove an orange light ahead of the very pissed off punter I had done a dramatic U turn in front of to make the traffic light. Pulled up at the testing place and a minute or two later mr pissed off driver appears carrying a clipboard... next 30 minutes was a complete waste of time.Originally posted by Dice75 View Post
Second time I was using the driving instructors car and the tester was an oul lad I vaguely knew and who was very chatty. We were coming down a sharp hill to a stop sign with a car stopped at the junction when the brakes appeared to fail. I ended up having to press down with all the force I could manage to get the car to stop and instead of moving on again, still standing on the brake I put on the handbrake and turned to the tester to tell him there was a problem with the car. His face had gone red as a beetroot and then I realised it wasn't from fear but from the pain of having his foot jammed behind the dual control brake that was installed in the car

AIRBNB as a host
My brother has been a host ( in Westport ) for 18 months or so ... 3 bed property ... living on his own ( kids with his ex ). He finds the extra few bob handy. Best Guess
-- averages 2 nights/week
-- singles or couples ... he doesnt have a preference
The system appears to be as follows
-- he takes photos of the room/house and posts the detail
-- charges €30 per night
-- points them in the direction of the kitchen if they want a cuppa
The advantages appears to include
-- money pre-paid into his account
-- communications by " potential payees " are by text and email
-- he can view detail of previous occasions where the potential payees have stayed
-- he can decide who he wants to stay and for how long
Disadvantages
-- my opinion ... they can express an opinion as to how their stay compared to a 5 star hotel ( that they werent prepared to pay for ).
************************************************** ******************
Unusual side story to this ....
My son ( age 20 ) went with my brother to the Euro's, came back suitably impressed with the idea, convinced his mother twas worth a try
The first I knew about it there was an american couple staying for 3 nights ... over the next 4-5 weeks various combinations .... visitors / hse personnell ( we live near wrh )
The money is paid direct to my sons account.
Update : Novelty has worn off buy my son is currently dating a french student who stayed for 3 nights while arranging full time accomodation near WIT

Mate of mine is a solicitor for overturning the last planning application for Casement Park on behalf of the local residents. I don't think they will object to this plan, as far as I remember the last one was too big for the local infrastructure to support.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostComment

Oh by the way, Steel Panther/Bowling for soup/Buckcherry gig was fantastic. Saw so many boobs at the gig as they love to flash and the actual show was class. Absolute pisstake of a band but the guitarist was actually class and entertainment value was top notch, so much casual racism though

That's exactly the point. You are effectively a union beneficiary, but not a union member. The union at your workplace is legally obliged to represent you, even if you are not a member.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
Why would you join it and pay, when you can just reap the benefits and not?
Therefore the numbers of members are ridiculously low.Comment

Two 50mm x 50mm photos are required. Please ensure they present the full head from top of hair to bottom of chin, and that this distance measures between 25mm and 35mm. If this is not correct your application will be rejected.
NB These are not standard passport photo dimensions.

5 weeks wouldn't stop me looking tbh, but yeah 3/4 weeks should be enough. Problem is that in a certain price range there are 10 really shit ones for 1 good one, and half of those you only find out they're shit once you visit them. Lot of traipsing around for nothing unfortunately.Comment
