Going to Wexford town this weekend with herself. Any recommendations for things to do or good pubs to visit?

[Funkymonk]

Yeah see that just reads like tax gobbledygook. (Cheers though). It doesn't seem to actually say what the answer is. Says about the joint assessment, but not what it means in terms of tax rates?

Thinking she could either pay tax at my marginal rate, or she might be allowed to earn something at the lower rate before that kicks in.

You would have been able to take part of her tax credit, but not her PAYE credit. You also would have been able to take some of her standard rate band but there is €23,800 of this not transferable.

Basically she can earn €23,800 at the standard rate and if a PAYE worker will get a credit of €1,650 against any tax that arises. This is assuming you took everything you could.

[eamonhonda]

its clearly a test, call that massive bluff imo

The standard rate cut-off point for married couples/civil partners is €41,800 in 2014. This amount is taxed at 20% and the balance is taxed at 41%.

This seems to be the important part.

No 99% sure it is real this happened the day before yesterday so I have had a few messages.

Visit Finkels snooker hall obviously.

[Lazare]

You sure it was full sail? That's their IPA. Their red is amazing, can't think of the name right now.

I've noticed I only drink Irish craft at the moment.

Ah yeah, you're right, it's Bay Ale.

Me too re Irish craft, we really are spoilt here.

147 club Damn you AJ!

For realsies tho the sky and ground pub is great, and for food with the yard or momma Rosa are my favs.

[Strewelpeter]

I wouldn't have a problem with milliseconds, but an Irish professor of finance tweeted a paper about auctions every second, and it was pretty lol bad that none of them could see any issue with it.

HFT is big part of trading, your pension fund or their brokers probably uses HFT to some degree.

Except for some marginal holdings in some of the funds that own bots the only thing that is happening to your mine or anyone else's pension because of HFT is that it is being skimmed by the guys that are effectively running a toll scam on the markets.

I would be interested in hearing any sensible argument in favour of the practice, the liquidity argument is utterly meaningless nonsense peddled by stakeholders and tbh I haven't heard any other angle.

Obv when they do close it down there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth because of all the jobs that will be lost here but preserving them doesn't doesn't amount to a case for HFT.

I'll try those pubs if I can. I've just been told though that we are booked into Fordes for food.

Altho bugler Doyle's is across the way for cheap 'drink of the week' too. Shudder.

Go to the premier chipper and get a battered Rissole.

Tom, you'll love the Sky and the Ground, lots of singer songwriter types on guitar or jazz groups

Sometimes Tinder throws ya a curve ball.......I had zero intention of having much more than a short conversation with the girl. Now my conscience makes me feel like I have to text back. That then probably only leads things on.

You have to be the most socially unfortunate person I know.

Getting a quare oul taste for the red Ales lately.

O'Hara's Red is real nice, supping on one right now, but hands down the best I've tasted so far is Brew Dog's 5am Saint. Holy Jahoozes it's good.

Had it a little while ago with a pulled pork pie, my god did they go well together, better than any wine/food combo I've ever had.

Any other recommendations for Reds? I've tried Galway Bay full sail, Dungarvan red and a couple of others that I can't remember the names of.

5am saint is in the style of an American Amber as opposed to an Irish Red. Its delicious and light enough to be skulled all night too. Couple of others worth a jar are 8 Degrees Suburnt Irish Red and Brú Rua - though its kinda too hoppy to be like a regular IRA.

Ah yeah, you're right, it's Bay Ale.

Me too re Irish craft, we really are spoilt here.

The rise in quality would not be here but for the craft boom in the last few years. We always had a few microbreweries pushing out the usual stout, red, larger and maybe the odd special. Its great to see brewers actively brewing new styles (to these shores) and using exotic ingredients to push the boundaries. For me Galway Bay's Foam and Fury is a great example of this and a hum dinger of beer. I don't think 5 years ago it would have been as well received or indeed guzzled at 8.5% ABV.

[Micknail]

Ah tis really only the second one. I have a few socially positive ones aswell I just keep them to myself.

Jiggaman actually knew the first girl I had the predicament with she claimed you were chatting her up drunk one night when we saw ya in Templars...I was like he doesnt drink.

Pretty much every fund/broker worth their salt operates some form of algorithmic trading, people don't go down to the pit floor and shout out what they want to buy these days.

Sure ban unequal access to data and news info, but after that what are you trying to get rid of? People using computers? Trading too fast? Arbs?

There's very little jobs in HFT. Think, according to Denny's boss last week its five firms that control essentially all HFT. Those would be reasonably small staffed firms due to the automated nature of the trading.

Yeah and their profits aren't even all that big considering the overall financial industry is worth trillions. Virtu would be one of the top firms, only losing money on one day in its history, yet its profits were only about 180m last year.

How did that talk go btw? Many there? What aspects did they focus on?


edit: ha, just got another email from the head of our company defending HFT, never hear from him normally but that's the fifth or sixth one on the subject. Link to pdf for Strewelpeter https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...20of%20HFT.pdf

There is a crowd in the IFSC with a shitload of developers that write software that runs a lot of these platforms. A guy I know works at it and some of the stuff they do is crazy.
But yea obv that is very small beer given the huge amount of money they are sucking out of the markets.

I've tried Bru Rua actually, wasn't bad, their Bru Ri is a pretty good IPA. Must give 8 Deg a go.

Yeah, the quality and choice now is fantastic. We seem to be miles ahead of the UK in terms of quality of taste which is strange given they've such a longer history of Ale brewing.

Do you brew yourself or have some sort of interest in the trade? You're very knowledgeable on the subject.

You're probably not seeing the "cutting edge" of English microbrewing in Ireland tbh
+ the fact the English do like weak as piss all day quaffing beers, which wouldn't be to the taste of the likes of you or me.

When people talk to me about the ales we sell I tend to say things like tis undrinkable piss but the best undrinkable piss round here. One of the regulars usually agrees

My cousin brews his own regularly, he just explained the whole scene to me a few years ago - over a few jars obviously. Always had a thing for trying new beers whenever I visited some place new. Follow plenty of the breweries/pubs on social media to keep an eye on news and check on beoir.ie (lurking) every so often. Obviously plenty of reviewing sites out there too that point you in the direction of the best stuff. Although to me its hugely subjective based on one's own tastes and experiences.

Always intended to brew but every time I manage to set aside a couple of hundred for initial gear and supplies something always comes up. I try to keep the volume down but the diversity up when I choose to have a sup. Much rather 3 or 4 good different beers than 10 heineken and a few jaeger bombs. Its like a choice between McDonalds or a restaurant.

[oleras]

From the TV show Hannibal, there is just so much scope they can do with the character, i would love to see a prequel, his early teens and university years.

Yes, it is positively awesome. Season 2 is superior. However I admit want to give up after the opening scene with

Jack and Hannibal going toe to toe

The way its shot and the imagery is spectacularly viscous. I was delighted that they reduced the number of times we hear:

There is a certain, i know they wont fuck it up ending wise because we watched that opening scene of S2 i think. And it bangs home especially now how much Jack appreciates Hannibal as a friend, how manipulative he can be, he nearly got Will to think he was actually the good guy at one stage.

Is it PDC in Lanzarote you are off to ?

yup! old town , hate new town.

staying in the same place I stayed before for the simple reason a massive Spar shop is more or less attached to it lol

Myself and mia head in early morning for their fresh croissents 1.60 for 4, bargain! breakfast sorted.

Off then for a stroll to the harbour for some fresh fish in the evening, she eats at least 6 cans of tuna a week so want to get her to try some fresh stuff to see what she thinks.

back to apartment for the vino and the laptop , ipad for her. and chill out for the duration. I am so looking forward to it. work is up the fucking walls right now and for the first time in my life the lower back of my head aches most evenings.

To top it off the manager is fucking off when i come back, that is gonna be a nightmare with 2 new reps starting tomorrow ugh! me and 12 of them on my own lol

[oleras]

Some really nice restaurants around the old town, was never a fan of the new town, maybe a good few years ago when it had more food places but last time i was there it was just hawkers trying to pull you in to 6.95 places.

Have a ball and a nice relaxing week if i dont get a chance to say it to you sooner.

Played a live donkament for the first time in about 2 years tonight.
Nearing the final table and I raise, guy goes all in, I ask the dealer how much it is wait for he to count it and think for a few seconds before calling. Guy goes, ah id say thats it for me, I gleefully turn over my 10s, he turns over kings, KINGS!! Does he think I wait that long with Aces.

On the plus side did get to play cash with Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis when they came in after the snooker exhibition. Was starstruck by Hendry, man is a god.

I think if your still under 28, destruct O behavior still flies IMO. Quite clear that gambling swongs has made the thought of grinding a real 9-5 for you loot wise utterly out of the question.

No advice really, maybe find something you like doing you can get paid for apart from boozing and gamboooling. Groundbreaking obv.
