Glad I stuck with Agents of Shield. Last few episodes have been quality entertainment. I guess you couldn't have had it all gung ho for the first half of the series as it needed to build its own mythology within the greater Marvel tv/film world.
The finale was quite good, even though it inevitably concluded as you'd expect.SPOILERCan't beat good old comic book style justice. I thought Deathlok was a going to be a kamikaze hero.
Also a few questions:SPOILERDoes anyone know what Skye's secret power/identity is? Or who her Dad is? Is Ward going to be a/the big bad in S2 or even S3? WTF is Garrett/Coulson's map about? Some map of the universe given the alien blood transfusion... Probably involves Skye too.
Jed Whedon is the fucking spit of Jay from the Inbetweeners too.

Anyone know anything about Memorandum and Articles of Association? I dunno if it's company law or what. Anyway, the below seems to be standard, can anyone tell what it's purpose is?
'44.The Directors to retire in every year shall be those who have been
longest in office since the last election, but as between persons who
became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they
otherwise agree amongst themselves) be determined by lot.
45.A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.'

Originally posted by Kayroo View PostThat may be one of the most ridiculous questions I have ever seen in a legal exam.
Basically it's asking how International conventions and treaties, which can be incorporated into Irish law under Art 29.6 at the discretion of the Oireachtas. An example of this would be the European Convention on Human Rights Act 2003 which incorporated the ECHR into Irish law and gave the Courts an obligation to take judicial cognisance of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights as well as the convention itself in the context of any proceeding before it.
Articles 8 and 12 both directly impact on family law here but there are innumerable other examples where it comes in to play.
Beyond that any regulation or directive touching upon the area of family law that is passed by the EU will likely have direct effect here or require incorporation into Irish law. While I can't think of any examples off the top of my head I am sure there are a good many.
I recall a case I was involved in where the judge adjourned the matter to hear submissions on whether or not the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was directly effective in Ireland given that the EU had ratified the Convention. The answer, of course, is no given that Ireland has a dualist legal system (something that is DIRECTLY governed by Art. 29) meaning that while the State may bind itself to any international treaty that does not mean the treaty is incorporated into Irish law.
For example if Ireland entered into a treaty with the UK recognising international travel rights between the two countries no citizen here could sue the state on foot of that treaty as it does not create any domestic justiciable rights.
I dunno if that's of any use to you at all but it might be a start

Given that I've just paid my water bill for the last 6 months, living in an EU country not part of the two.
Want to know more about the price of water? Find out how the price of water is calculated in the UK and how water companies work our your bills.
Water meters measure the exact amount of water you use, rather using an estimates, which could save you money.
Is it simply the difference being a "charge" and not a "tax" as argued above?

I always intend to come back and have been here 2.5 years now, getting married early next year also so, Ireland possibly turning things around it could be quite a good time to come back really. I would miss the Sydney lifestyle, the weather, beaches, the general positive vibe & great money but I don't see returning to Ireland as a bad thing and this year is as good a time as any really. Big decision in so many ways, actually much harder decision that the one to come out here. In the end if my contract doesn't get renewed my decision is essentially made for me so who knows!

The social rule in my secondary school was that everyone went to uni unless there was something desperately wrong with them, but you have a lot of other schools where the social convention was that no-one goes to uni unless there is something particularly outstanding about them.
That's one of the big things we need to fix in the country. Intergenerational poverty is biggest sign of state failure imo.
I agree with your central point around the next and current generation though, without 3rd level education of some description they are (for the most part) really going to struggle through life given the volumes who are now availing of 3rd level courses.

I arrived at the absolute peak and was able to get a payrise and maintain it but the reality is I'm $300/day more expensive than an Australia/resident because of the raping charges that the agency charges for giving me a visa so with the changes in policy and that extra cost it makes it a lot more difficult to. Anyway I will ride it out as long as I can but can see that the wave is dying!

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakit was briefly mentioned in this thread here yesterday. On any occasion where I had the opportunity I was telling people about a horse called Grandmas Hands and saying that it was the best handicapped filly in training and that I was going to win a fortune off her this season. I waxed lyrical about her on The Final Furlong Podcast, I gave a talk in The National Stud a few weeks back with Donn McLean and at the end I told them all to watch out for this one, I was on the panel of The Dublin Racing Club and told them they wouldnt need money to back her as she was such a good thing off her mark of 79. I told dozens of people in Punchestown, including Ivan Yates while Strewelpeter went all "Falling Down" on the phone next to us. I rem saying somewhere that she would help fund the price of a new 5 series for me.
Anyway she ran last night. In a maiden. It was a ridiculously tough maiden and there was a 100 rated horse in it amongst others. The trainer loves a punt and I figured there was no way she was out to do it last night, and even if she was she might still fall short (this piece lends weight to me thinking she wouldn't be out to do it). She was dead in the market etc etc...
Anyway, she didn't just win, she beat them like red headed children @ 10/1. Next stop is likely to be a Group 1 (Irish 1000 Gns). My assessment was absolutely spot on. I just didn't back her. My phone was hopping all night. I am now depressed."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Does anyone know what Skye's secret power/identity is?
More than likely inhuman.
The blue alien was a kree, part of a race of aliens that experimented on Neanderthal humans through genetic manipulation and the changes were activated through exposure to Terrigen Mist. Its likely that 'Flowers' is also inhuman (what will I become?)
This Kree stuff would tie in with future MCU projects after age of ultron.
Is Ward going to be a/the big bad in S2 or even S3
Most likely not. At least in my opinion. There will be a continuing story with Hydra and there will also be the Age of Ultron fallout. His inability to speak will be part of it, I think. IMO, he'll be a recurring character on a redemptive arc. There is also the teeny tiny chance he could go all Frank Castle

I don't like the idea of Ward turning into "The Punisher" but a punisher style character would be cool.

Definitely the show has blown wide open the whole MCU. Should be loads of obscure characters popping up.
