    Not a huge amount to tell really.

    I was back in the hotel KO’d after being up for about 30 hours. I wake up at 9am to a text from BOI asking was a transaction in Target mine. I look for my wallet then and it’s gone. Check Revolut and $500 is gone from that in Target.

    At this stage I wake my mate that I am sharing with and ask WTF happened last night. He says he had a girl back for drinks and then he fell asleep. Looks for his wallet and its gone with 1k cash and he also has a text from BOI about a Target transaction. We go down to the MGM police at this stage and file a report.

    Back in the room I realise my CC was not in the wallet but in my suitcase with my Debit card. I log into PTSB and current account reads €0.00. €1,500 gone in transactions to Target!

    All in she got, €1,500 cash and 2k on cards. Decent night for her. She left all electronics including 3 phones and an Apple Mac Air. The kicker was when I was berating my mate for bringing a brasser back to the room…

    Me: “you’re a fucking gobshite bringing a hooker back”
    Him: “she wasn’t a hooker because I approached her”
    Me: “where did you meet her?”
    Him: “She was sitting in the casino bar in the Flamingo on her own at 5.30AM”
    Me: “Jesus Christ!”

        That's the worst thing he didn't even get that.

          Yeah first half hour or so was decent, good sense of dread etc but nosedived off a cliff after
          SPOILER
          That ending could have been all time if they had earned it . The rest (Tyrion’s trial , small council , Bronn was just fucking dire. Arya and Sansa smirking their way through it was pretty grating also.
          Overall season 8 seems to be getting a very muted reception even from non neckbeard fans.


          The biggest shame of it all is HBO were willing to back more seasons , the decision to rush to the end was made purely so those 2 hacks could go and make what will inevitably be another terrible Star Wars trilogy for Disney.
          Hopefully John wick 3 will rinse out my mind this weekend

              The problem with Huawei for the US isn't with phones, their 4G network infrastructure is dependent on Huawei built hardware which controls how data is routed and processed.

              What scares the security heads is the possibility that they might repeat previous mistakes by allowing the upcoming 5G technology to be similarly reliant on a company over which the Chinese government has effective control.

                        I was in a chipper tonight and the young lady behind the counter was telling a customer that tomorrow is her favourite day of the year, and how she would be dressed up for it etc. I couldn't think what tomorrow was of a significant nature...

                                    There's annoyingly puritanical tone to this article but anyone who saw the Anthony Bourdain episode with these two reprobates will surely hope they haven't been entirely cured.

                                              Saw some really interesting looking articles on that page, starting reading one talking about his brother who is homeless and schizophrenic. Now I am subscribed to the paper version. Great initial value offer, print & digital version 16 weeks for $10 (was 12 weeks, but then I opened another window and read and when I returned they had a pop up for an offer if I subscribe in next 5 minutes which was 4 weeks extra).

                                                    he once gave a cook a glass of chicken blood to drink, telling him that it was his “mother’s strawberry wine.” Afterward, McMillan gave him whiskey, to kill the salmonella. “He was fine, he was drunk,” he told me.

                                                    Good article despite the obvious virtue signaling from the author.

                                                            Helicopters were flying overhead just after 4pm and cops flying by as I was coming home from work today. I think they made their getaway down Kilbarrack direction as thats the direction the helicopter was flying that I seen from a distance.
                                                            I feel its connected to that Zac Parker lad gunned down at the Swords Gym a while back. Its just impossible to keep up these days as there are no more ordinary decent criminals around anymore. They are mostly just these mid tear to lower tear hoodlums and drug addicts carrying out these attacks to pay off debts or get their score. Theres even pikies in the mix for chrissake.

But there is a melting pot of scum and villainy in Darndale that it could also be a lend of a tenner gone wrong. That Ladbrokes in Priorswood beside Martins lounge should be seen to be believed, the travellers own that pitch. Its like that Star Wars scene. Its an experience.

They had a section before and after the break with a filmed piece from each of the candidates who weren't invited on. It's pure gold. Ben Gilroy was the 3rd least ridiculous person.

Probably takes longer to brew, definately takes longer to pull yet its cheaper?. Is it that they are afraid if they put it up too much the auld codgers who surely represent a large % of the drinkers of it will up sticks and abandon it?.
                                                                                                    Are the government giving Guinness a walk on levy etc to keep the brand alive to a certain respect so tourists will see real Irish people drinking it for real?. Something going on anyway.
