    I did think it was nice of the local artist to go out and finish their slogan for them and send it to the relevant media



    "No Repeal" being the message here I think

          Nee.

            See.... the mountain is stating it's view which is no, fair enough, mountains are old and tend to be stuck in their ways

            But the jumper says Repeal... cause you can tell by the lack of strain on the neck, cuffs and the clean colour of the jumper, that it is a fairly young jumper and has not gone through the grind of the wash too often... therefore has not yet become cynical and worn down by age

            NOW, if she was facing the mountain, her message would be NO! Repeal!
            ... as in, no you are incorrect mountain, you must move with the times and repeal

            But because she is facing away from the mountain, what she is actually saying is...

                  Imagine from a non Irish POV, trying to get your head around 1/100 Yes in most Dublin constituencies whilst 1/10 No in Roscommon, Donegal & Leitrim etc.
                  I guess it's like that in many places. I remember seeing the electoral map for Hillary vs Trump and it was pockets of blue on the coast and vast swathes of red in middle. 'Fields can't vote' as someone pointed out w.r.t Hillary scooping the popular vote.

                    Reminds me of 'The Bungalow' in Deansgrange. They misspelt it about 5 years ago, and just said fuck it who cares. https://www.google.com/maps/@53.2846...7i13312!8i6656

                    Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

                                It is one of the most complex issues put to the electorate in my lifetime and I don't understand how reading a few pages and subsequently firing off a vote just to be part of the process helps the process be better. If I don't think that my vote contributes in a net positive way to an informed outcome then I think abstinence is a pretty reasonable position? Personally, I am aghast that in this day and age such a decision is left to a load of monkeys with typewriters.

                                  They are playing with a 10k ante at one point. I don't think Patrick has really been part of the crew grinding these huge games over the last few years. You can hear him talking in the background at one point about how he can't quite believe that this is real money involved in these games. A couple of 2m pots in the session. Kalas Kane sits in the game and looks like he is another crypto winner judging on the talk at the table and the huge jump in stakes he is now playing.

                                      three non-abortion questions for the sages of the BBV:
                                      1. Where can one buy nuts in bulk in Dublin? Supermarkets generally have small bags of dubious freshness, at high prices
                                      2. 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?
                                      3. What is the consensus in terms of pensions with previous jobs? Transfer to new scheme or leave as is in deferred status? Have a letter from old employer urging me to make my mind up. Like the idea of having all the loots in one place for ease of tracking and projections.

                                          Around 40/1 I'd guess.

                                            Good guess, he was 33/1

                                              I would be surprised if you couldn't have gotten him on exchanges at around 100. I'd guess probably 66-80 with the bookies. There was little to suggest he was capable of posting close to such numbers prior to this season.

                                                  Bet365 had him at 40's according to this.

                                                  But I'd say he was double that on exchanges.

                                                      Yes Kane and a couple of other players have appered at the nose bleeeds and are putting it down to crypto.
                                                      Ivey looked like playing with his last buyin was quite strange, he looked out of depth(then again no sample size to really have a proper opinion), even seen Phau needling him a few times and asking would he like another loan. He ended the biggest loser at close to 800k.
                                                      Everything Dawn suggested or did was aggreed to and he seemed to be the centre of all the conversations at the table, was clear to see he plays very regularly.

                                                                I would guess Dwan is liked because he gives so much action. These guys are obviously all huge sickos and Dwan has always played in a way which is high variance which these guys obviously appreciate. They seem quite aware of the dynamic and even refer to themselves as the VIP/Fish when discussing players coming in and out of the game. They probably don't mind losing money so much to pros who are in there gambling it up and making the game fun for them to an extent. It was Dwan who suggested kicking the game up with the 10k ante. On the other side, you can see they are keen to get rid of Antonius due to how much he is perceived to be nit-ing it up in the game.

                                                                      Always sounded like the big plus of prsa idea was that you could bring it with you wherever you go, not sure that it quite worked out that way though.

                                                                          I reckon Strewel has inadvertently revealed the name of his mistress there, say hi to Janine for us.

I like the flexibility of a few pension pots so you can stagger the retirement and the tax free cash drawdowns but people do seem to prefer to have it all in one place.

                                                                            For example if you early retire one previous pension pot at age 50 say and use the tax free cash to pay off part of a mortgage or something, the balance will probably go in an ARF and you won’t drawdown until you actually retire. ARFs are generally more expensive than a corporate pension plan so a level of flexibility with a partial retirement of the overall pension assets might be better.

                                                                            It does depend on your circumstances though.

                                                                            Cheapest place for nuts in bulk is the Asian supermarket.

As I speculated a few months ago they seem to have implemented some sort of box to tick where you say you are experienced in purchasing ETFs and don't need to read any extra documentation.

                                                                              Hopefully DeGiro and others are able to follow suit in the not too distant.

                                                                                I would guess Dwan is liked because he gives so much action. These guys are obviously all huge sickos and Dwan has always played in a way which is high variance which these guys obviously appreciate. They seem quite aware of the dynamic and even refer to themselves as the VIP/Fish when discussing players coming in and out of the game. They probably don't mind losing money so much to pros who are in there gambling it up and making the game fun for them to an extent. It was Dwan who suggested kicking the game up with the 10k ante. On the other side, you can see they are keen to get rid of Antonius due to how much he is perceived to be nit-ing it up in the game.

Clear that a big part of playing this high is keeping the variance down, or trying to. 56hh on 78hh board was pretty interesting. Also AQhh hand where he folds pre.

                                                                                            It took me a while to swallow my pride and post this but with just over a week to go there is no room for egos

                                                                                            Originally I thought I wouldn’t be eligible to vote as I’ve been living in London for quite some time, but when I check the register on a wim low and behold there I was! By this point the cost of flights had skyrocketed to over £300 and unfortunately I just can’t afford to pay that much to fly #hometovote so here I am

                                                                                            The Repeal of the 8th Amendment is something that I feel is vital for the future of women’s healthcare and rights in Ireland and for that reason I feel it’s imperative that any eligble YES vote is cast, including my own

                                                                                            So if you can spare a couple of euro to help contribute towards my flights I would be endlessly grateful

                                                                                            Comment

I had a look on GoFundMe and there is quite a lot of returns for HometoVote, all seem to be Yes voters as expected
