daughter all packed and ready to go to EP has only realised tonight that her ticket did not arrive in post and is not available for download.
apparently pointing out that she might have been a bit more careful if she'd paid for it herself wasn't the right thing to say
MBN. After a week of hunting I just got offered two tickets there.
Funny in a 'sad but true way'. I took the hardest Brexit possible.
It seemed impossible, but the prime minister has secured a deal that keeps Britain relatively close to the EU—and steered it through Parliament. Purists say it’s not a real Brexit, but the U.K. departs on March 2019. Relief is short-lived. The details still need to be hammered out, and there are plenty of Tories who think this might be the perfect moment to get a new prime minister. But that’s another story.
Some poor soul was begging all around for ticket outside main entrance earlier. Not like hanging round Quinns or Big Tree on All Ireland Final day, people have been gouging tix all week. We had one spare that a mate got and could have turned a profit no bother flogging it on FB.
In the kitchen this morn the wife has her head in the fridge checking best befores. Asks me what date it is.
I said 29th, then corrected myself after looking at the phone.
Two of us were like 'Aug 30th, why is that date ringing bells'
Took a few moments for both of us to cop it was our 16th wedding anniversary.
Love that about her, not a bollix given for any of that nonsense. Same with valentines.
The contra play to this is to be married to someone who cannot remember dates. A card, a 'happy anniversary' and you're straight into a world of guilt that can be fully exploited by a 'did I mention I'm off to Japan for the rugby world cup?'
Metagame Laz.

Emporium closing card room,
last tournament Sunday
One cash table will be
retained on gaming floor.
Sad to see a place with such potential
crucified by incompetant management.
Sad if true. Played my 1st ever live tournament and was where I learnt my game (for good or bad!) Loved playing there as the poker room interior was miles ahead of other poker rooms so felt like a proper gentlemen club.
Really is a shame.
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

Excellent idea. Setting a calendar reminder for Aug 29th.
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
The voters agree. Corbyn becomes prime minister. Though himself a euroskeptic, he has no desire to repeat the Conservatives’ mistakes, and he knows that a soft Brexit will please his party. He announces that Britain will seek to remain in the EU’s customs union, and says he’s open to the case for single-market membership. The EU says it looks forward to talking to him.
Thinking of going to Spurs V's Liverpool, anyone any idea how to get tickets, both club sites are awash with hoops to jump thru and membership fees just to have the ability to look at the tickets
Anyone know when they go on general sale/where to look for Spurs at Wembley?
Pretty sure I remember ianmc38 saying a good few years ago he lived just round the corner from The Chief. Sure ianmc38 lives elsewhere these days but could still have family/friends who might know. He posted in Deadparrots IPTV streams thread recently so could be worth a pm.
Ah, be cool if he came back on the scene, sound lad.
Ian lives in Malta. He's not posted in a long time but I mentioned the IPTV thing to him because we both use the same TV setup in Malta but they have pulled the plug on it.
Edit - Ian hasn't seen or heard about him in years. He lived relatively close but not on his doorstep or anything.
Have an extra ep that I got for 300 if anyone here is looking
Luckily I won't need it, she just went down this morning and they reprinted her ticket on site.
Great to be that relaxed about it, she is due to be starting her first post college job on Tuesday but given past experiences I wouldn't expect her to be able to speak to another human before Thursday
Tried getting Chappelle tickets this morning. online right at 10am and they were insanely expensive. Got tickets to show in stockholm and a flight for cheaper amount.

Just had lunch in your chicken and ribs place, very tasty. Your pizza recommendation was different class. Best I've had probably ever.
Toilet cistern has been leaking for a month, and unlike Ireland we pay for water here so have been chasing the landlord to get it fixed, finally had someone come around last Friday to replace and fix it. Alls well that ends well...sunday afternoon returned home to a swimming pool in the kitchen/living room where dishwasher had flooded (despite not being on) cleaned it up and cleared out the dishwasher and it seemed fine. 5 hours later it’s overflowing again into the kitchen floor.
Turn off the mains water in the lift shaft and the tap under the sink but dishwasher is still slowly filling up, can’t figure out how exactly as we have no water anywhere else with mains off. Go to bed at 1am and wake up to a flooded kitchen again. Turns out there’s a second tap hidden at the back which has been leaking water into the dishwasher.
Guy comes to look it over, stops the water coming into the dishwasher but says there’s a problem with the mains and we need a plumber to look at it. Plumber comes on Tuesday and finds limestone buildup in the pipes so clears it out but says there might be a problem with the tank on the roof. Only access to the roof is through the penthouse so go begging for access, to be fair they were very nice about it, and get to the roof only to find that there are 3 tanks and nobody seems to know which one is which.
Plumber leaves saying, you might need me back. If the tank is the problem then there’ll be no hot water left in a few days. Dishwwasher guy comes back on wed, fixes dishwasher and everything seems fine.
Roll on this afternoon, back sweaty and stinking from a walk, covered in sun cream.....no water in any of the taps or showers...on a Friday evening
Call landlord, she’s away until Tuesday, she called the plumber and he’ll be in touch apparently....le sigh.....currently weighing up taking a 4 week gym membership to get us over the hump.
Never rains but it pours, or not as the case may be. Only 12 weeks left I suppose but was hoping they would be smooth.

I was wondering about that. Yeah their diavola pizza, outside on the waterfront, with the small beers is just different class. We have flown back just for it.

Same. Original article stated starting at 30e, I got offered 3 @ 140e, he's not that fucking funny.
That new priority thing with bags.
I'm travelling tues, can I still bring on my handbag and small case for free and they just tag and put on trolley yolk before you board?

Yeah til November your 'big' cabin bag will potentially be checked in to the hold at the gate. You won't be charged for it. Your small bag you can bring on with you as normal.

That's fucking shocking

That you're not living in the penthouse, wtf?

Hi guys, best cash game in Dublin tonight from 23:00 onwards?
Just go to the fitz guaranteed a game of holdem and a 50 plo game.
For softness id go upstairs the regs mostly lay downstairs not that they are geniuses but the stragglers will usually be sent upstairs.
Our lad will be 2 years 5 months by Christmas next year. I might use the threat of Santy removing a present every time he has an accident. Good motivation, although at that age he probably won't fully get the whole scam yet.
I seriously need guideposts. I've bought a flushing pair of potty and it terrifies her. I've spent the last few days before we went away putting her toys and Teddys on the potty in the hope she'll try to emulate them.
Which once it wrote down sounds ridiculous.
However I've spent the last 14 hours in Disney so cannot be trusted to make sense
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Adding up the school bill and seems we'll be paying €600 a month for the two of them in school (youngest starting there on Monday). Thats a long way from free schooling. Now that includes lunches, books, after-school care, but still - its at the very least a stark reminder that those little creatures are a massive lifestyle suck
€600 p/m for two? Or each?
If the former I'll swap in a heartbeat.

Highly dislike the guy, but don't really get the point of protesting Trump coming to Ireland. He hasn't actually done anything to Ireland and we welcome worst leaders without a peep (Chinese being the key example, but the pope being another one). Just seems like a stupid protest.
Have been arguing the exact same with the missus this morning. Gonna screenshot this and tell her you're a highly respected college professor

There was a big protest for the pope. Some people feel its important to show that its not what the people want when its a state event, even if they know its not gonna stop it.

Unusually excited about idea of daylight savings finally going. An awful idea that has never really made any sense. See Spain is going to be changing timezones too to match Ireland. Franco changed their timezone to match Germany in admiration of Hitler.
You are wrong about this and we should try to hang on to it.
GMT is OK for us in the Winter when at the worst the day is from 8:30 to 16:00
But as spring is arriving at the end of March if we do not switch over to Summertime then the day is from 06:00 to 18:50
Having the day stretch past 8PM from March through September is very beneficial in allowing people to get out and about later in the day.

"He hasn't actually done anything to Ireland" - hey that's a reason to welcome that German guy with the tache back in 1940.
As for the rest I guess we hold America to higher standards than China (or the Vatican) - a beacon of the free world etc, so when America elects a Trump it raises our ire more than the latest Chinese autocrat would.

You have no chance of getting a ticket from Liverpool (unless you attended about 7/8 away games last season).
Spurs won’t have a general sale to stop Wembley being full of Liverpool fans (you would need to have purchased a membership from them several months ago to be able to buy one.
Best shot is to find someone with a spurs membership and get them to buy you one, should probably be easy enough to pick up outside the ground too I would have thought.
...Noticed no one had set up the premier league competition, then just remembered I had taken it on towards end of last season!!... If people want I can set it up again, and start it for week 5...Should be the same really...Thank if interested, if I get 10 I'll set it up...

Due to his tax changes a client of mine is relocating back to Denver. Only a small client but still “he took our jobs”
