And i feel terrible questioning your stats, i am sure they are true...why would anyone lie, a quick Google says its an epidemic in SA and India and china.
And to just ass fuel to this fire....FF doesn't spell check China with a big C.
I got to it via Nigerian population growth while watching Nigerian match. I was supposed to have gone to a thing at the Dalkey Book Festival last night entitled Ten Global Trends That Will Change Your Life. In the blurb it said that more Nigerians will be born this year than will be born in the whole continent of Europe.
So I was perusing African statistics of various sorts.
What's the deal with these ten day no phone retreats.
Think I would get confused after a few hours of been disconnected from the tekkers, not a good thing clearly.
X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!
I'm in for this. Can you elaborate on what it involves and some provisional dates for said week.
There's a Christian retreat somewhere in dublin so something is possible. We should try involve a prop bet and do something. Let's say some week in the future?

Sounds like you have prior knowledge of this Christian retreat, anything you'd like to share with the group?
In the future is good, my calendar in the past is choca.
No idea, only have you and mick flair on there so far. yo!

We should get our kids together Hitch. Give them both a plastic spoons and see whos genes are stronger. Nah ina ll seriousness if you fancy a play date give me a shout over next month or so.
Lads in fairness I don't think the kids will be able to mind ye if the 2 of ye get together. It's more riot police and ambulances you lads need to monitor your play dates.
Struggling to sleep tonight. Don't know why. Got up at 10am with a bad hangover and went to Newbridge and back. Feel wrecked but brain just won't shut down

I find a nice cup of camomile tea and a sleeping tablet does the trick.

Yeah I made a cup of regular tea. Put on some easy listening music and seems to be working. I think my housemate just made toast though the prick. Love the smell of toast
tbf he should have offered to make you toast, poor form.
I love toast, when done right.
Exactly. I shared my pizza the other night too. I offered a slice and the fucker took 3!! 3 slices. I was starved. Toast is awesome. Tea and toast on a cold morning or after a sesh is the nuts
I'm so glad I don't live in South Africa. If I did then there'd be a decent chance I'd have raped somebody. And not like pretend rape but real actual rape.

tbh dobman, if you don't like sharing food - you shouldn't have offered him any pizza in the first place but I can understand that you perhaps were aiming to lay a foundation of housemate harmony.
That being said, him taking three slices was a massive 'fuck you' and a knowing smug yet silent declaration of war on his part.
He may as well have taken his lad out and bent over your nearest loved relative right in front of you. This would have been a similar statement as the taking THREE slices of your pizza in my view.
You have effectively labelled yourself as his bitch, a role it doesn't sound like you are happy to conform to.
Thus this leads to me ponder, what are you planning to do to correct the balance in this power struggle, having been humiliated by having your genuine and understandable attempt at a low level of acceptable housemate friendship thrown right back in your face with vigor, in humiliating fashion?

Hahaha. I needed that laugh. Great post. And thought provoking. I will have a think of my next action, I think some kind of kitchen utensil trolling is in order. Will report back at a later date. Open to suggestions
On the subject of kids bullying each other I've a 10 year old girl here, she's unbelievably innocent for her age and only started playing sports last year, she joined the local girls Gaelic football team and for the first couple of weeks she would come home from training in bad form, and wouldn't tell us why, she eventually did say that two girls were 'being mean' to her, if course her mother told her to tell the leaders and they would sort it out. This is never the way to go obv, so I took her aside and told her to stand up for herself, if those girls started on her again she was to tell them where to go. (She's tall for 9, and strong so I suggested she throw the odd shoulder at them in a tackle)
Anyway, we collected her the next training and the leader came over and told us that Caoimhe, her name obv, had been in an altercation with one of the other girls, her mam insta says 'ah she told us some of the girls were being mean to her and we told her to tell you'. I'm running at this stage.
Apparently one of the girls had called her some names and she just floored her with a shoulder tackle while there were all standing around, not in a match like I had suggested, just wandered over to her and blasted her out of her boots!
Of course our one says, wasn't my fault mammy, she was mean to me and daddy told me to burst her. I Haven't been back to a match or training since and the dog slept better than me for that week

Obv the next time you get a pizza cover it in dog shit or something and watch that greedy bastard eat it then, maybe not dog shit but you get the idea, and make sure you know which slices are compromised or it could get tricky

I once had an awful goober of a housemate in cork,
Literally the personification of a pig.
Pretty much knew they were eating food that wasn't theirs from the fridge and cupboards.
Bought dog chocolate buttons.
Exhibit A:
SPOILER
Put them in a bowl on the table in front of the tv, and sat back waiting for the inevitable.
Every so often they'd say 'oh I shouldn't be eating these, I'd ask why - expecting a 'cos they're not mine and I really shouldn't have just scoffed 3/4 of the bowl of delicious dog chocolate without even asking who bought them or you know, a polite question to have one etc statement.
Oh no, the answer was highly amusing:
I'm on a diet.
Ha! Reminds me of the time a lad was getting bullied by 3 of the lads he shared digs with at Uni, they made his life hell as they wanted one of their own mates to get his room and tried to drive him out of the house. Their antics worked but before he left he carefully removed the flora from the tub, put one of his logs in the tub and carefully put the flora back in. It was a few week before it was discovered.

IPB meetup at christian retreat, pretend to be over the top pious and then start subtly trolling when the image and bible quotes have set in. Become less subtle trolls over week until people break down and cry.

I'm in agony today. Spent yesterday at home in Sligo engaged in the very culchie activity of bringing home the turf. My back and upper legs are in bits now. Family BBQ and bonfire last night then as well, good night all round.

The way everyone on the BBC queues up to stick the boot into Fabio Capello is quite noticeable, he appears to be treated completely differently from the other England managers who failed before him.

Seriously? Haven't seen the Capello stuff but Swedes 2 0 Turnips, Hoddle and Sven treated like complete jokes during and after their reigns as manager.

That was the print media wasn't it?
Genuinely can't think of any instance in this World Cup where the TV pundits have had a pop at McClaren, Hoddle (who has a cushy number as a pundit himself), Keegan etc even though they would be easy targets.
Yet Capello is often mentioned with references to South African prision hotels, language issues, player relations etc, and the BBC seem happy to get quotes from the players about all the problems. Presumably it would be trivially easy to get quotes from players about Keegans lack of tactical knowledge but they never did this.
The Capello stuff seems a bit nasty - he eased through qualification twice (this was after the McClaren 2008 disaster), got through the group at the World Cup before an exit on penalties (lol standard) and honorably resigned because of interference from the FA as to who to appoint captain.

Did they not get stuffed by Germany?
And finish second to USA in the group stage, come to think of it.

Hmmmm, should have researched that bit a little more, had a picture in my head of a penalty shootout defeat to Portugal but that was actually 2006 under Svennis.
Still think he's getting treated a little harshly though
One in two women in South Africa will be raped in their lifetime.
Now Zuma probably got elected on a ticket of raising that number, but it's still very impressive by any standards (where "any" does not include Democratic Republic of Congo).
Can anyone who has been to South Africa confirm that 50% of the women dress suggestively?
50% of the white women are utter bitches. Goes with the servant thing. They have nothing to do while their husband is at work (obv. couldn't be getting a job) so tend to wear 100k worth of jewellry to expensive restaurants and whinge to their mates about the attitude of their servants. Not a big fan although quite a high percentage do look like Charlize Theron.

Opened an account with BetVictor recently to bet on some specific World Cup market. Log in and place some bets. Tried logging in there and I'm told my account is closed. I check my emails and basically I have an age verification email. Fair enough requesting this immediately, but allowing me to place bets and then requesting it? If I was 17 and had turned €100 into 10k, I assume the account would be closed and money confiscated. If I was 17, and had lost 10k, and now can't produce documentation to prove my age, would the 10k be refunded?

€100 would be refunded in the first case. 10k in the second.
