Why do you put yourself through listening to anything on the subject? You don't have any likely hood of changing your vote, so what good can come from subjecting yourself to any of this from either side? Aside from here, and a bit on the news when I watch, I am almost entirely managing to ignore the topic.

Nailed it. I love how in any election there is such concern about the “don’t knows”. Don’t knows just don’t vote imo and all the debates in the world don’t change that as they just avoid the whole thing. The movement in the option polls from here on will be minimal.

The Moors married into the Spanish and Italian royal houses back in the day I think, but not easily verifiable.
A few years ago the 3 or 4th to the throne of Liechtenstein married a black woman.

His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

I dont. Avoid it all mostly. Hypothetically if I was to listen to Una Mullally she would change my mind was my point. I don't watch any of the debates either sound like a horrible use of my time.

I disagree for this referendum. There's plenty of older people defaulting to no, but when spoken to by their younger sons and daughters they are changing their minds. I think there's a decent portion of people on the fence that will definitely vote.
Should be. I have no idea where my polling card goes as I don't think I've ever even seen one, but have always been able to vote with driving license.
I think I'm going to bring my passport this time, I have a gut feeling we are going to be hearing stories about people with badges and jumpers having difficulty at the polling booths.
Only found out this place existed a while back. Great store. Very hidden away, well the size of it is if you get me.
The 'Duck' place around the front at the Market Bar is class for some food on the go in town. €10 for half duck half pork belly and noodles is delicious.

Aye surely. Think of the bita tweeting you'd get done after getting refused. Could go viral
three non-abortion questions for the sages of the BBV:
What do the cyclists of the BBV recommend in terms of a windcheater-type top that will keep you from being frozen by the wind but at the same time not a sweaty mess?
Ild suggest a gillet at this time of year. Paired with good arm warmers (sportful no rain).

So I shouldn't wear a jumper? What about a hoodie?
Jack will enjoy this, girl i know (very vaguely) posted a gofundme on facebook
Know a girl who took the gofundme a step further than a flight. She recently became a 'photographer' and with that she had to go and spend three weeks in Iceland finding herself and taking photos of the beautiful landscape. She was asking for $2k or $3k to help pay for it. Gofundme is full of similar people asking for their holiday to be paid for. She has a decent job btw so could easily pay for it with a little saving.
You mentioned Ortolans last week I think, I brought up trying to get one when I was over with the french brother in law a few weeks ago, he'd never heard of it but his friend has eaten lots, using the shame napkin too. Confirmed delicious by him.
What's the bbv recommendation (honda) for arrival times pre-flight for the US these days? Was thinking 2 hours but heard some horror stories about US pre-clearance lately.

Make it 3, at least. It's a bit of a disaster. What time is your flight?
11.20. Business - does that entitle me to skippaments?
Ya worst time basically. I think you skip the security queue as a business passenger, I'll try to remember to double check Monday. Have you travelled to US on your current passport before?

UL. You won't be able to use automated passport control that I'm aware of. Shoot me a reminder pm Monday (unless you go before) and I'll check how long the process is taking these days and what your business class gets you

Thanks

Tell her to get into the credit union. I walked in yesterday, asked the chap for a 4k loan, he literally laughed and said only 4k?? Sure that's no bother. He says yeah sign that, this is what you'll pay back. I'll ring you tomorrow.
Rang me about midday, yeah that loan is approved, pop in whenever you want and we'll get it to you either by bank transfer or cash.
I've fired a mate who works down there a quick text, I'll let ya know if he gets back to me.
No automated passport control as you haven't been on that passport = longer queue.
You skip the queue to TSA security with business class.
It will be very busy at that time but staff levels are good tomorrow.
He reckons you want to be hitting the US area at about half 9 latest. So count back for check in etc

Lol. We're so back!
No loan repayments with gofundme. Only suckers get loans.
The amount of shite that I signed up to/subscribed for over the years that I no longer need (or want) and have either been too lazy to stop (or in some cases can't figure out how to as it's in a different language) is off the chart.
Now, they are all e-mailing asking to reconfirm as part of the new regulations. It's so easy to just ignore the ones you no longer need and soon they will be gone.
I welcome a much more efficient and slender inbox by the end of this month.
Not to go over old ground but I find it the modt flavoursome cut.
I found myself in Monart for 2 nights during the week.
Place was like a cult, wild wild country....everyone wearing bathrobes, in the restaurants and all.
Was grand and relaxing but would not be rushing back.
We had a great meal the second night with the nicest piece of fillet i have probably ever had, so full of flavor. A beef cheek croquet accompanied it and it was like a mini Irish stew in your mouth.
Food was great, Spa not so much for me, no phones, no bar as such, 1920's sanatorium feel to the whole thing.

Speaking of beef cheeks.
Ordered a racion of carilleras al vino in a fairly nondescript bar in San Sebastian last weekend. Holy shit! All three of us blown away by the depth of flavour.
I was so impressed by it that I tried to order it again the next night but after several txacoli my linguistic skills let me down and I ordered caracoles instead. Had to force down a portion of snails while being laughed at. Wasn't bad tbh.

Big garlicky winkles...
Very easy braise beef cheeks yourself, 50/50 wine/beef stock, 3 hrs in a 140 oven, shred the meat and make pies with the meat and the reduced gravy and the fee mushrooms and carrots you added to the cook.
back in your box - there ain't nothin fancy about a ribeye.
I got a few from Derek Nolan in Naas last week, he called them ribeyes, they were quite big and while well marbled they didn't have a big lump of gristle in the middle but I'll tell you something off the barbecue they were as good as any steak I've ever eaten.
Waiting for your review of Two Cooks in Sallins, I'm assuming you are a reg there I've had a couple of great meals there recently including the nicest snails I've had. Highly recommended

Sounds like Angus and taken from the striploin end.
