I know. So if you finish 3rd in every race its likely you win. Don't like that attitude, all about the winning baby!!

Yes indeed but if you win every race you are guaranteed to win. See how it works?

OK BBV need work exit strategy advice. I'm currently employed by a research centre affiliated to UCC and my contract expires in December, but they let me 'work' in DCU. The place is completely hapless as is the project I'm on, and I basically do nothing every day. I rarely speak to my boss and he's one of the most scatter brained blokes going, but very nice. I've heard through the grape vine that he's none to impressed with me sending the letter to The Times though, despite him telling me all of the facts in the letter (typical of those with something to lose not wanting to rock the boat, despite the fact that it's taking on water), reckoning that it will somehow come back on him.
I'm gonna be left by September 15th either way as the GF is going back to work after maternity leave and I'll stay home and do some work on the web if I don't get the lecturing gig that's going in DCU, which I'll know the outcome of by the 22nd of this month.
I haven't taken any holidays this year and I really don't want to have to spend any more time down there, particularly with the 'ill will' from the higher ups after said letter. After the interview is done I'm thinking of just saying that I'll work out my notice in Dublin so as not to draw any more attention to the situation and then carry on from there.
I don't really know what I'm asking, but any advice welcome!

Looking at the discard scores we could be in big trouble with one bad race tomoro, her discard score of 19 is way higher than her 3 nearest rivals.

Fingers crossed for two good runs.

Cracking radio on Newstalk. There's a series of debates with various guests and Michael Graham, strangely likeable right wing republican radio host for anyone that doesn't know him.

They just had a climate change expert in there, social welfare before that.

I bought a load for the weekend. Nothing new on the list though. 6 Torpedo's made the cut though. Shipyard IPA's were going at a euro each in Tesco, so I cleared them out, got 14 of them. Also O Hara's IPA x 4, Sierra Nevada IPA x3 and a handful of other single ones. Happy bank holiday weekend.

Been listening to him all week, he's a zealot pedalling the type of right wing populist tripe that goes over well in America, never mind the "truth" behind any of it.

His stance today on Israel and Europe was hilarious republican propaganda bullshit "Europeans want to get rid of Israel and install a terrorist state, you refuse to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist" eh go fuck yourself and your horse shit generalisation you republican right wing cunt the fact he refuses to remotely recognise the double standard of his position would be funny if he didn't represent the views of a lot of the decision makers in the republican machine.

As sobering as your last line is, he's still entertaining.

His views are obv outrageous. That's why it's fun.

I haven't had it since the last time I was in Aus, so thought I'd add it to my list from Superquinn rather than get all pale ales there. Got 6 there for the price of 5, then 3 others at the offie across the road.

I don't think it's bad. I prefer the Sierra Nevada, but it's decent.

I am wary of it, but it's only 1 bottle. Some strong enough bottles there, doubt I'll get through all 9 tonight, but I'll see how it goes.

On Friday night, James Boags grabbed his gunn and his Brain Blasta, jumped on his champion horse and rode across the Sierra Nevadas like a torpedo through the night on his long long journey home to India, stopping only once, at Goose Island, where with a smile on his face, he laid his head.
