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

      Comment


        Just caught my first bit of the hopeful "Presidents" on +1 there. Jesus. Some of them should have followed John B Keane when they were trying to talk him into running years ago - "I looked at myself in the mirror this morning when I was shaving and I didnt see a President".

          You cannot over state the last part on spell check enough. When they were narrowing down the grad cvs in my last job it eliminated about a third without anyone reading the content.

                  I'm away in Israel at the minute so I can't check anything without a VPN but is there much money matched?
                  I'd be curious to see PP's book, I'd guess Casey is a decent loss if he pulls it off.

                    Only 17k matched in that market on BF.

                    Yeah PP seemed to be willing to take him on right along, were even offering an arb the last day before finally cutting him to odds on this morning, clearly reluctant to believe the hype. He must be close to a seven figure loss for them.
                    Profit before people.

                        Just read the basic article, so maybe you've more insight. E.g. if the profits are based on something stupid like adjusting depreciation rates or genuine. Seems undeniably positive though.
                        I was expecting a bumper Q (my puts are for 2020) but even that seems a bit excessive. Worth noting too that most of their accounting staff left in the last few months. The expectation is that they've cleared out the high margin model 3 sales and it's downhill from here, + moving some bills to next Q, charging for cars and features that haven't been delivered etc etc.

                        Again it's like the 420 tweet, market would have reacted more if they really believed those results. Tempted to add in a naked CFD short.

                            Anyone know where I can get ID bracelets for kids in Dublin?

                            Heading to Edinburgh solo with my 3 on Sunday and inevitable one of them will disappear at some stage.

                                I wonder how the probable low turnout will impact on this?

                                        I think we should keep it, we should get as liberal on all human rights as possible, become a proper non religious republic but keep the blasphemy law for the craic

                                            Is there anywhere for USGA/R&A that gives the full regulations for a golf ball?

                                            Can't seem to find them anywhere bar the usual bullet points.

                                                Appendix III - The Ball
                                                The R&A reserves the right, at any time, to change the Rules relating to clubs, balls, devices and other equipment and make or change the interpretations relating to these Rules. For up to date information, please contact The R&A or refer to our Equipment News & Notices page.

                                                Any design in a club, ball, device or other equipment that is not covered by the Rules, which is contrary to the purpose and intent of the Rules or that might significantly change the nature of the game, will be ruled on by The R&A.

                                                The dimensions and limits contained in Appendices II, III and IV are given in the units by which conformance is determined. An equivalent imperial/metric conversion is also referenced for information, calculated using a conversion rate of 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

                                                A player in doubt as to the conformity of a ball should consult the R&A.

                                                A manufactured for a ruling as to whether the ball conforms with the Rules. The samples become the property of the R&A for reference purposes. If a manufacturer fails to submit samples or, having submitted samples, fails to await a ruling before manufacturing and/or marketing the ball, the manufacturer assumes the risk of a ruling that the ball does not conform with the Rules.

                                                The following paragraphs prescribe general regulations for the design of the ball, together with specifications and interpretations. Further information relating to these regulations and their proper interpretation is provided in “A Guide to the Rules on Clubs and Balls”.

                                                Where a ball is required to meet a specification within the Rules, it must be designed and manufactured with the intention of meeting that specification.

                                                1. General

                                                The ball must not be substantially different from the traditional and customary form and make. The material and construction of the ball must not be contrary to the purpose and intent of the Rules.

                                                2. Weight

                                                The weight of the ball must not be greater than 1.620 ounces avoirdupois (45.93 g).

                                                3. Size

                                                The diameter of the ball must not be less than 1.680 inches (42.67mm).

                                                4. Spherical Symmetry

                                                The ball must not be designed, manufactured or intentionally modified to have properties which differ from those of a spherically symmetrical ball.

                                                5. Initial Velocity

                                                The initial velocity of the ball must not exceed the limit specified under the conditions set forth in the Initial Velocity Standard for golf balls on file with the R&A.

                                                6. Overall Distance Standard

                                                The combined carry and roll of the ball, when tested on apparatus approved by the R&A, must not exceed the distance specified under the conditions set forth in the Overall Distance Standard for golf balls on file with the R&A.

                                                      The weight of the ball must not be greater than 1.620 ounces avoirdupois (45.93 g).

                                                      3. Size

                                                      The diameter of the ball must not be less than 1.680 inches (42.67mm).

                                                      4. Spherical Symmetry

                                                      The ball must not be designed, manufactured or intentionally modified to have properties which differ from those of a spherically symmetrical ball.

                                                      5. Initial Velocity

                                                      The initial velocity of the ball must not exceed the limit specified under the conditions set forth in the Initial Velocity Standard for golf balls on file with the R&A.

                                                      6. Overall Distance Standard

                                                      The combined carry and roll of the ball, when tested on apparatus approved by the R&A, must not exceed the distance specified under the conditions set forth in the Overall Distance Standard for golf balls on file with the R&A.
                                                      Would point 1 cover 'microchips' within the ball etc? Even if they don't exceed the other regulations do you think?

                                                            You need to get into the local shop in Ardclough. John and Susan are the one true source of all local information and telephone numbers. Will ask if I’m in there later.

                                                              So now that the Casey think is truly done, who's next?

                                                              Of the 5 or so minutes I've seen of the race only the women didn't come across as clowns

                                                              Why no joy for them?

                                                              Freeman (with no digging) seems to have the background required and ni Riada has the shinners behind her

                                                                                          Can't seem to find them anywhere bar the usual bullet points.
