Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - Mammy told me not to come.

[Solksjaer!]

If you're gonna win it, win it the hard way.

What's the point otherwise.

Bobby RObsons England were deemed a success, they won nothing. It's all relative. The British will herald a semi final as an achievement , cite the youth in the Squad and will hype the next tourny accordingly. Sure South Korea were Euphoric just beating the Germans. Anyhoo, the Simpsons said Mexico v Portugal in the Final of 2018 so tis all moot

Had a gaa friendly on Tuesday evening and the ref came out with a banger you'd be proud of. We're cruising along, up by about 10 points with 20 minutes played. We get awarded a dubious line ball and one or two of their players lose the rag over it. Ref ignores it and carries on.

Into second half and the lads are still getting spanked and are wound up now. Few hits going in. We give it back, one of their lads goes down holding every part of his body and they all screaming at the ref.

He just turns round and says here this isn't soccer, get up and play and if ye wanna give out there's the gate. Good luck.

Met with cheers and laughter even from the other team. Need more refs like him imo

One of my favourites, when someone is moaning about a decision, is to say "sure we can watch it on Match of the Day later and see were you right".

Follow up with a wink.

Ironically enough I'd say I card twice as many players from my own club.

Whenever some county team tries to kidnap the ref we shout "hey lads it's not the gaa" and everyone laughs...

That's gonna be a limitation mentioned how differences in ICM influence MTT players, perceived edge vs opponents etc. They're taken direct from a study that doesn't specify. Probably gonna do some sort of test of of rationality between those who prefer cash to MTT

There's a few down around my way. Greystones has a couple doing burritos and pizzas and even kilcoole has one doing crepes.

They seem to all travel around the festivals and markets instead of picking an area to stick to unfortunately.

My "Fooddar" must be set all wrong

I never get overly impressed by what others rave about and have usually been fairly put off by what most would call average

Its probably a good thing but I do seem to miss out on the simple pleasure of being made happy by a simple oul salad

Ha! You live in Hipsterland.

Crepes and pizzas though....that's depressing. Funked-up Mexican or seafood, I could get down with that.

The standard of food truck in LA was incredible.Food is one of the few industries that isn't a dead man walking from internet based business, big difference in Tax take/Rent/Rates and circular cash flow from having an actual premises vs a van.

[MrsFlushdraw]

With so many of us with heart problems, just want to get your thoughts on this.

A woman I know, who is in her 50's. Had High Blood pressure due to family history is what she said. Been on meds 20 years for it.

Met a woman into one of those MLM's Synergy Worldwide. This company promotes Heart health supplements etc.

Now, I queried with her the safety of this. I asked her if she was off her BP meds. She said she was. She has a pic of her BP that she does every morning. I asked her if she saw her Dr before coming off the meds and she came back with basically she monitors herself all the time and is fine.

My understanding of BP was that in the morning, due to not eating/osmosis etc that your BP is naturally lower anyway? I have had mine taken countless times in the morning and been good. But I still would not have come off meds for it because of it. I have had countless 24h monitors done and had some crazy spikes. I know I have an issue with my BP!

So, are these companies dangerous? upon googling, the guy who founded the company isn't even a Dr! Imagine I had got roped into this and as testing my BP and it seemed ok at those times. I would maybe have thrown away my meds. But the truth is, I STILL have a narrow artery (I see the Cardiologist tomorrow argghhhh) I would have thought I was fine when I clearly wasn't.

I am a known hater of all these MLM companies. Despise them with a passion. But one that says you can throw away heart meds? that scares me!

Whats so bad about taking the meds? I thought they were fairly low impact in terms of side effects

are we talking about the same thing? Someone taking an MLM company product and not taking prescribed blood pressure tablets? and without consulting their GP?

Best of luck Mick, enjoy the day, weather gods obv got the invite.

Ate from a lot of food trucks but the very best of the lot was the Bacardi mojito truck down on the quays.

Day like this, big silver American bus converted with a bar one end and a DJ the other, banging out Cuban salsa, al fresco tables and chairs by the river. Awesome.

Yeah, I'm asking why they wouldn't just take the meds?

[Denny Crane]

Would-be Model 3 owners already put down a $1,000 refundable deposit to “reserve” one of Tesla’s Model 3s. Those reservation holders must pay an additional $2,500 to turn their reservations into an order, at which point the original $1,000 deposit goes toward the overall payment for the car. Buyers can cancel their orders within three days for a full refund, the company confirmed, but after that their money is Tesla’s for good.

If reservation holders place an order they must pay an additional $2,500-- but they won't get a delivery date.

Just amazing.

I tweeted them asking was the article written by someone who's just started learning English and they've edited it. Badly.

Here's the original..

A vehicle drove into a Catholic church in Tralee, Co Kerry on Thursday causing damager.

It was driven though locked gates going into St John’s Church on Castle Street after 9pm and through the front doors.


The van went locked gates of St John’s Church Tralee on Thursday night.

It has caused serious damage to both sets of doors which are shut to the public.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident and there wasn't anybody in the church was locked at the time.

A man was arrested under the mental health act and is being treated by mental health services.

St John’s Catholic Church is a well know landmarks and is near the town park.


Masses haven't been affected, mass goers have been asked to use the side door.

Fr Francis Nolan of St. John’s Parish told Radio Kerry they are shocked that it happened and that they are glad they nobody has been hurt.


Gardai are investigating.

He added that thoughts and prayers are with anyone affected by the incident.

[MrsFlushdraw]

Yeah, I'm asking why they wouldn't just take the meds?

Brainwashed I guess. She thinks the suppliments have cured her high BP. I did talk her into getting a 24h monitor, but whether she does it is anyone's guess.

So i read the edited version, and it's still that woeful??

I work as content manager for our company and we have 30+ freelancers on the books that cover most of our top priority sites. I've successfully got rid of a lot the garbage, but it's madness to see what some people send in once they get their feet under the table, or when they are applying for a position.

I've had maybe 10 different people apply in the past 10 days, and i gave 3 or 4 of them a trial article to do. You would be amazed at the garbage they send back, especially when they know it's going to be scrutinized. 90% of gaming websites are full of garbage content so they don't even try anymore!

Now, i know my writing is full of mistakes half the time, but you can guarantee that if i'm applying for a writing position that could make me a LOT of money, then i'm going to make sure i've read the piece a couple of times and put it through Grammarly or something!

Hasn't been an easy time for shorts so far. Think there's better ways of playing it than just short selling.

Find it so fascinating, just shows that humans are never gonna learn.

As well, you can fully know that it's going busto and still lose out with the wrong approach, Enron kept going a long time after the cracks were exposed. Elon has to do everything to keep the plates spinning as he's borrowed so much against them, won't take much of a downward move for the margin call to come.

Man it's just the worst email service ever. Just basic stuff like not prioritising emails sent directly to you rather than all-staff emails that happen to include the recipient. Standard tech that Gmail has been doing for a million years.

That potentially cost me money, bit of a disagreement about something in work, thankfully had another source to rely. Mad situation that hasn't been resolved, in fact the other two people messed me around until they left for holidays today for two weeks. I'm really going to have full morale and focus until their return.

Good learning for the future. Do a full Comey for everything work related, and check other people's holidays. The perils of never having worked in a normal office or been exposed to the politics therein.
