Stalin wouldn't be far behind Mao with the body count. That alone probably tops the US. I've no idea where the US clean sweep is suppose to be coming form

Yeah you're spot on. I'm actually that childish. Or maybe I go told today I have to cover a guy in work that has a wedding on Saturday

markey bar, port house or fade st I would say
Salamanca or the cuban spot on georges st would be others, 777 for mexican tapas is also good.

Zaragosa seems to be quite a popular ladies who lunch haunt.

Havana is Cuban spot. Salamanca gone to shite last time I was in which is probably over a year ago

[Jibzzzz]

Been a while but always rated Havana for Tapas.

I know you know your way around well enough, but let me know if you need any recomendations on the latest and greatest.
Food
Wine
Whiskey
Gin
Umbrellas
etc

Was thinking if you have the BBQ on for about 7 each night, that would be ideal. Hunter Valley Semillon and Margaret River reds please. All.meat is good.

I would have thought American presidents were responsible for the most deaths over the last ~70 years by a long stretch. Might not count with a lot of them being brownish idk.

Mere amateurs compared to Mao.

Pol Pot? Idi Amin? Various Congolese warlords? Tutsi leaders of the Rwandan interhamwe?

Putin killed tens of thousands in Chechnya alone.

Angola? Mozambique?

I could go on

wow tough one and most likely out of date! fallon and byrne used to do some nice toulouse sausages, and after that i'd just go to dunnes of donnybrook, who had some lovely sausages (and a decent choice).

was speaking yesterday to the prof who was teaching you today and he was saying he's not sure he can go on much longer talking convincingly about finance theory as if it makes any sense. Corp fin has such nonsense theories.

He's quite the character, I'm one of the only ones he gets to laugh given it's probably 70% Asian and 90% international. Allegedly extra points if you contact him via Twitter assumed you guys were friendly then.

Yeah it's fine. Group project worth 30% and pretty shocked when he said "open book" exam worth 70% and 25% of the class failed last year.

What book was asked?? His response "Doesn't matter they're all the same unless you want to buy mine"

I decided to take the econometrics module which was optional so my split is 7 and 5. I figured extra time after Xmas for the dissertation.

Credit risk is a bit mundane and seems like an undergrad management module but the rest is pretty good.

We don't actually need to beat Moldova. A draw is the same as a win pretty much, as long as Moldova don't beat Austria and get off the bottom of the group. Beating Wales is a must though, no matter what. We can't afford to lose to Moldova though.

We absolutely have to beat Moldova. If we draw with Moldova and Wales beat Georgia, we will be on 14 points and they will be on 17. Our goal difference will be plus 3 whereas their goal difference will be a minimum of plus 8. That means we would have to beat Wales by 6 goals as if points are level, it goes to goal difference next to determine ranking in the group.

Is it not head to head results to separate teams or did they go back to goal difference first?

We'd only need to beat them by 3 if there was 5gd in it. Piece of piss.

Sorry, 3 goals would do it, not 6 (provided Wales only beat Georgia by one goal) but it does go to GD before head to head.

Oman and Gibraltar are the only two teams I can think of that we have beaten by 3 goals or more in the last few years?

Saveonlaptops.co.uk if you're going the gaming route, you'll get a desktop replacement but if you're moving them around a lot they become a pain after a while. Heavy including the charger in a lot of cases.

Dell XPS is nice. I bought a Surface Pro yesterday i5 8gb of ram and 256 ssd. It's very quick and runs any program I'll need.
Surfacebook also gets great reviews and looks really nice.

There's a laptop shop on top floor of Stephens green shopping centre, couldn't tell you if it's any use though. Can't picture of anywhere else around that area

Compub at the bottom of Grafton st if you wanted a MacBook.

[DeeBrown]

Surface Book or Pro4 are the nuts.
Different hardware specs dependant on
what you intend to use it for will dictate price.
You'll get a starting price of circa €800.
I'd recommend at least an i5 processor
with 8gb of RAM & 256gb of SSD storage.
The book comes with detachable 13 inch
touch screen which can double as a tablet
but you need to buy a keyboard with the Pro4.
If you're a gamer upgrade the GPU.
Also get a Stylus for taking notes/art work.
That lot will bump it up to €1,300.
Hanging on for "Black Friday" sales in November
should cut that with special offers though.

[ArmaniJeans]

Best sonnet of the year Dee.

Goal Difference if its a FIFA competition like the World Cup.
Head to Head if its a UEFA comp, e.g., the Euros or the CL.

Have you tried Mount Pleasant Lovedale Semillon? It's excellent!

There is also it's cheaper stable mate, Elizabeth which is also very good.

A good few years ago, a lot of the Tesco's in Dublin had the Elizabeth redcuded from 19.99 to a tenner. Tesco Clare Hall had a good lot of it and I think I was one of the only people buying it, must have picked up close to 100 bottles over several trips. have struggled to get Lovedale recently

To be honest, I don't drink much semillon. Which is a shame as the Hunter is on my doorstep.
Just check the prices there on the local off license website.
The Lovedale is $58-71 for most vintages. There's a 1996 at $80 and 1986 at $110
The Elizabeth is $23, the 2002 was $14 but appears to be sold out.

I'll definitely check out the Cellar door next time Im in the Hunter

Reminded me of a few days ago, watching pointless again, the question was asking a boy the name of the particle accelerator in Switzerland, and my wife said Biggs Hoson, which made me laugh. She took it better after I explained why I laughed, not just that it was wrong.

Several years later I know but I finally got around to watching Du Levande last night. Great recommendation.

I was howling at the bit where your man drives past in his car telling us out the window about his dream trying to do the tablecloth trick. When the scene switched and I realised I was actually going to see it play out I'd say the crowd upstairs were wondering wtf was going on below.

Hope I didn't miss anything by not watching Songs from the Second floor first as didn't realise the three were a 'trilogy' - I presume that's only meant in a very loose sense.

[Keane]

It's that time of year again - budget fever!

Always enjoy the predictions and the left-field suggestions that get fired around.

Anything interesting expected this time around?

Suspect we might see a few sops thrown to the good old middle income earners (maybe ~€40/month worth), hopefully some big investments in infrastructure too.

No, very loose, but indistinguishably brilliant.
