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

    Comment


      I think it's the way the chickens are raised compared to ducks, higher chance of salmonella.

        I don't know the answer but last week while eating beef tataki my friend pipes up and says he has eaten chicken tataki while in Asia. I didn't believe him but google says strips of under cooked chicken is a thing in Japan.

        Don't think I could bring myself to eat it.

          Sure, but has to be industry wide, if Bank A doesnt need any KYC and Bank B does, where are you going to go? Also if you suddenly start using new payment methods we will need to verify in the future (probably spotted at withdrawal stage) We cant ask customers to send every single payment method they may or may not use in future.

          I mentioned before that EAV is becoming more common, UK customers are verified on registration due to the massive databases that can be accessed. Same with Scandinavia, Ireland a bit tougher.

          And Pokerstars with their 100 million customers, you might be waiting a week or two before being allowed to play after registering.

                    Apparently if there's no salmonella present, it's perfectly safe to eat. I wouldn't be convinced to risk it personally. Considering that something like 80% of chickens are infected.

                    Raw pork on the other hand. No issue there for me. Although most Irish people do have deep rooted ability to cremate the stuff.

                      You can bet, if verification on registration becomes enforced - gambling companies will cut that time down from 'weeks' to 'minutes'.

                          Highly unlikely. 30 million new B365 accounts this year? And they would still need to request docs at withdrawal stage to piss Eoghain off even more. Say ID, address and bank verification at sign up to keep everyone happy, then any other methods used on withdrawal to keep the EU happy.

                            wouldn't be so many new accounts if they didn't close them so easily

                                          It also, by default, suggests my other 27k posts are all absolute truths too.
                                          With all due respect to this journalist (and i have worked with him on projects and he is a largely a clued in guy) he will always have an inherent bias to something like Web Summit happening on his doorstep with all those stories landing in his lap like snowflakes on Christmas morning.

                                          I'm not saying what he is saying is wrong but it must be tempered by the knowledge that he'll have to work a little harder now that his newspaper will never again be an official partner of this conference like it once was.

The willingness to give a tax cheat like Mick Wallace a listen because he sounds like a man of the people, but to find reasons to disagree with Paddy Cosgrave because he's an opinionated success story. The absolute temerity of the guy for trying to negotiate a favourable business deal with Dublin for hosting a conference with 70,000 attendees and hoping for working WiFi.
                                              What Cosgrave was demanding (and I don't remember it being 'negotiation' as such) was really just too much - I'm sorry it's gone but it was an ok decision by the government not to give in.
                                              Comparisons with MOL are unfair and almost perverse as the two come from opposite ends of the spectrum - MOL pretty much wants to be left alone to run his business without (in his opinion) annoying red tape and administrative interference whilst PC demanded garda escorts, subsidies and legislation to limit hotel pricing.

                                                Heading to Melbourne with the misses this weekend. For her birthday I booked dinner at a well known restaurant she wanted to try, a french bistro. They let me know they were closing for a few weeks for renovations but would be reopening the 9th November and they would hold my reservation. Great, I thought. The clown however failed to mention they'd be reopening as a japanese seafood restaurant.

                                                  It wasn't even a case of 'not giving in', it was more 'this is the Taoiseach's office, why are you emailing us about the wifi in the RDS?'

                                                    Yes i'm sure he would but it's not just about the travel.

                                                    Sure he can go there for 4-5 days. But he won't have the same long tail access nor the same cache as just another foreign reporter rather than the lead guy from the official partner access.

                                                    With the latter, when it's in Dublin, he can justify spinning out the story lines for weeks to his editor but that would quickly wear thin when it's not here as there is simply not the same appetite for the detailed coverage he'd be able to indulge in if it were on his doorstep.

                                                        Moto g5 from Amazon 3gb version works out at about 200e delivered. 2gb is ~230e from argos. Would think it's as good or better than any others in 250-300 range

Do many people still find it useful? Seems good for breaking news, checking in with random celebs but maybe less so for following what friends are doing/thinking or feeling the pulse of the great unwashed. Wonder what kind of future the platform will have...

Hoes Harry Potter films, totally unrealistic and childish. I couldn't suspend my disbelief while watching tbh. They spin a fantastical story of a ginger who has not just one friend but two, just not on.

I forgot about the other one even though it was recently as it seems to have been a question to a dead account.

                                                                                          If you drink the craft beers retailing about ~€2.50 a lot of people think they won't be hit but they will most likely increase in price to maintain the premium price above the cheaper stuff. Maybe up closer to ~€3.

                                                                                          Then the gap between the off license and the pub is decreased the publicans will be straight in with price increases to maintain their margin too.

                                                                                          Boom times all round except for the customer.

                                                                                                      €1.66 for a can of Carlsberg isn't too bad?

                                                                                                      We're really moving towards pricing all externalities now. Cheap beer costs society a lot in e.g. A&E, health issues, so price it properly. Sugar causes obesity and diabetes so price it properly.

                                                                                                      My big issue is they don't do something related with the money. E.g. would be cool if they ringfenced extra alcohol and sugar revenue for 'desired' activities like running / cycling routes, alternative evening entertainments.
                                                                                                      Well its a lot more than you pay now if you use the multipack offers.

                                                                                                      BTW what will happen is the price of you can of Carlsberg wont change at all but your can size will be reduced to 440ml (like the north) and your alcohol content will be reduced too. Therefore the price point isn't affected. Its like the shrinking chocolate bars.

Now that the alcohol will be expensive it's less knackery and so at those new prices I will most likely drink at home. Cheap beer runied us socially. Now I'll accept a can when offered during house visits. In the past it was, meh, tis a it knackery.
