      There'll be a note when they walk in that says 'ask Alexa to show you around' then using smart lighting it points out all the features of the place.

      Pretty cool.

      Yeah you can set it up to answer questions from guests, what's the wifi, where are the towels etc

      Put in a bid on one on adverts. No idea how much I'll get to use it

      Cordless hoovers are the same pox. Hoovering is half as much work. But somehow I end up doing it three times as often.

          Pray for shrap. Surrender-monkeying to the max here, second half best watched from behind the sofa imo.

            England Kicking game has been picture perfect in both games so far.

            Grim for us ABE fans.

                Should have been turfed out earlier for nullifying one of the best footballers in the last few years by creating a new position for him.

                      Anyone ever pull, tear or strain a chest muscle?

                      Felt a sharp pain when lifting something last week and it's still really sore. Really bad in bed if I sleep on that side.

                      Just wondering how long it takes to heal up really.

                        Sounds like you've torn rib cartilage to some extent. You cant do anything that helps. 4-6 weeks heal.

                            Could be anything. Physio will assess. The guy in Clondalkin leisure centre is best in the business . Hard to get him though

                                        Had dinner in the bad ass cafe as the better half won a voucher. Nice retro vibe - pretty sure the burger was a frozen quinnsworth yellow pack burger from the 80s

                                          I'll hold off for a bit. Wait until I've a running injury and get a 2 for 1.

                                                    Most places do french toast in some awful Hollaindaise sauce or some maple/cinnamon or what not which completely ruins it. What the fcuk are they doing. Dip the goddamn bread in egg and fry in. Whats so hard about that

                                                          I spent the best part of two months making French toast sometime in the last millenium.

                                                          As you say, drop bread in eggs and fry in 50/50 olive oil and butter. Serve when golden brown both sides. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve with good quality maple syrup on the side (never on top, give people the choice) and bacon. Blueberries optional.

                                                          After the first thousand or so I got the hang of it.

                                                          Hidden talents eh. I do like cinnamon in the egg mix myself.

                                                                        Although only a raving madman would eat a croque madame when you could have the simple perfection of a croque monsieur. I fondly remember a pre-match brunch in the main market in Toulouse where we ate oysters, copious amounts of cheese and three croque monsieurs each. All washed down with bottles of white wine, cognac and espressos.

                                                                                                              For me, it has to be Manhattan unless you are visiting people who live in Brooklyn.

                                                                                                                Tacos, dumplings, knishes, bagels; America would be a food wasteland without immigration. Join this New York tour to sample the side effects of mass immigration while learning about those that dared to live the American Dream.HighlightsDiscover NYC from a local perspective, with a local guide by your side Hear stories about New York’s early settlers and taste the eclectic mix of food that they bestowed upon us Stroll through New York's unique cultural historic sites in the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Little Italy Get a glimpse into New York’s immigrant heritage and how it is shaping the city today Sample some of the delicious iconic treats of New York

Being in the thick of some hipster Manhattan area sounds best.

I'm sure I heard/saw somewhere (maybe here) that banks were asking people for revolut statements now anyway if applying for things so it's not a useful way of trying to hide the gambling.

Have used William Hill, BetVictor and Pokerstars and all were the standard time. Splashed around a bit on that new Run it once site last week and a withdrawal from there was faster than I experienced before.

                                                                                                                      What are you hearing? What makes it look like Revolut fault or a "scam"? Scam is a bit harsh surely, they have been impeccable for years for me and any friends that use it.

Doesn't seem to be standard but maybe if the banks are making a close decision on affordability they will ask.

                                                                                                                          Probably has more to do with the number of outgoing transactions you have to the revolut.

                                                                                                                          I would have lots. Everything I buy from amazon is done with revolut these days. Saves a fortune in forex.
