He was clueless.
Genuine question. What's Bray like and is there much to do there? Thinking about going for a day trip with herself next time we're in Dublin.

Any good beer recommendations?
If you want to turn beer into a snobby la dee da wine style thing then I suggest pretending whatever craft beer on offer is nice or drink in a porterhouse and pretend you know more that others.
Im not from Bray. I hate Bray. Bray must die.

Re: *DISCLAIMER* I do not approve of any of my actions and am aware they reflect negatively
Baccarat Run
Last summer I had went down to my local casino for a night of gambling and partying as usual. Something I do about 3 nights a week on average. I called up one of my degen friends who never has money and always loses. We can call him poker jay. Poker jay is about 30 years old and I've known him for about 8 years. I've only seen him win once or twice in the hundreds of trips he has taken with me. What happens is, he in a sense becomes my assistant for $100 gambling stakes. He will carry my bags, run errands, iron my clothes, etc. and I give him a C-note at a time for him to gamble with. Which 91% of the time he doesn't return with. Anyways enough background on poker Jay for now.
So I pick him up and make him drive me down to the casino while I sit in back seat by myself like i'm being chauffeured. I berate him whole drive down about him prepping to book another loss. We pull into hotel valet and I make him open my door for me and grab my bags. We check into a standard 2 queen room, drop bags, and head down to gaming floor. I have a thing where I always hit the same 2 slots for $20 each first thing I do. $5 wheel of fortune machines at 2 credits a spin. First machine air ball both spins, next machine I hit a SPIN for top prize of $1195. Only time I ever hit that amount by the way. I brought about $3k with me so now I had roughly $4k after giving poker Jay his C-note. This win is good considering I have my other gambling buddy James on his way down to meet us and I owe him $3k he lent me prior trip. I had planned on only giving him $1k of it tonight but know I figure I'll give him $2k. So Jay heads off to play 1-5 stud with his $100 and I head to room to shower and get ready for the night.
I get dressed and head downstairs to meet James. He isn't thrilled about only getting $2k but tough ****, he shouldn't have buried me for and extra $3k of his winnings our last trip while I was wasted. So anyway we hit the VIP lounge and start drinking. A few hours of bull**** gambling and getting drunk I only have $1k on me. Poker Jay leaked away his C-note and wanted more but I told him to go **** himself. I think he went upstairs and to bed. James and I end up hitting baccarat table. Macau style of course, because we love to bend the cards and give the Asians a hard time. We go partners at $1k each and I let him drive. 30 mins later we bust and he still has money to play. I can't borrow because I still owe him $1k, so I call him a few names and stagger to the cage.
I take $2k off my debit card and head back to baccarat. I lose half of it betting against my friend and really give him ****. I told him I hope he died on his car ride home and switched to a new baccarat table. I start playing $200-$300 hands and start winning. It is getting late and they stopped serving alcohol at this point so I am sobering up a little. I basically win about 95% of the hands I play. All the asians think i'm magic at this point. I got my bets up to $800-$1000 a hand all while tipping very well. Every time I paid commission, which was like every hand or every other hand I would give the difference to the dealer. So I finally decided to walk with $15,900. A hell of a comeback and win for me.
Its about 5:30 AM and I go to the room and wake up Jay by slapping him in the face with the cash while he is snoring. I tell him to get up and that he is back in action. I give him another $100. He is pumped. We take shots out the mini bar and head back down. We decided to play a little craps but nothing exciting. Broke even and went to the lounge to eat breakfast. I'm getting tired and casino is dead at this time so I decide it's time to get a blow job. So I call up a hooker and have her meet me back at the room. I take another shot and she arrives. About 30 year old decent looking Asian girl speaking broken English. I take her in bathroom while Jay lays in his bed. I give her $100 after she asked me for $200. She stuffs it in her purse and puts a condom on me. 15 mins into it she is complaining about taking to long. I tell her it will be faster if she takes the condom off. She does and 5 mins later I'm done. She leaves and we go to bed.
A few hours later we get up and decide to extend our stay and stay another night to party because Jay knows a server from the casino down the road and she wants to meet up. I'm fine with it, just concerned about how much cash I have on me. So I tell him I will only stay if he locks my money in the car and does not give me the key under ANY circumstance. He agrees and goes down to valet and locks $15k in car leaving me about $700 to have a good time with.
We end up switching to a suite which was easy to obtain with my play the night before. Also works out because another friend of mine is coming down with a friend and a couple girls and he wanted a room. So I just gave him my original 2 queen that I extended. The server Jay knew meets us at about 12PM. We head to the lounge and all start drinking tequila. Nice way to start the day. We dicked around for a bit drinking and gambling and I was down to about $100 left of my $700. Jay had lost his $100 which was no surprise.
It was about 8PM and my other friend had arrived and I gave him his room key,then he and his friends met us for drinks. We were in the lounge and a guy I knew from poker was talking to a host at the entrance of the lounge. She was asking him about me because she seen him sitting with me. She told him that she thinks I'm the same guy that put his hand up a girls dress earlier in the week and had security called on me when the boyfriend seen it. Apparently it was me to find out. Had no recollection of it because I was blacked out. It was the night James buried me for $3k. I guess the girl was cool with it from what I heard. She was my age but had an older sugar daddy that gambled. Anyway I get to talking with this 26 year old host and she seems cool. She says she's tribal and has been working there for 6 years. She's ends up taking me and a couple friends up to the real high roller lounge on one of the top hotel floors. I bull**** with her for a bit while putting down top shelf drinks. She talks to me about my play and ends up giving me her number and said she likes to gamble too. At this point I decide its time to put in some more quality play and track down Jay.
I find him and threaten him until he gives me the money out of the car. I then head directly to the baccarat pit with cash in hand and slap down $15k like i'm a Big-Shot. What a bad idea. I was betting up to $4k some hands, but 3 hours later I was busto. I then take the walk of shame back to the room. Stuff my face with some candy out of the mini-bar and go to bed. Wake up the next morning and take a miserable ride home. Jay doesn't say a word but hey I'm looking forward to meeting up with the host and firing again. But that is another story.

All kind of suitable. The Barge would be my favourite there. We did a Superbowl night with them and they were really good.

Performance of the siptu organiser up against the owners of Greyhound on the radio this morning was a special kind of pathetic.
His argument beyond repeated use of the word lockout amounted to... There is too much competition in the waste collection game and so people are getting their bins collected too cheaply. Therefore until such time as siptu sort out all the failings of the market Greyhound should continue to pay 19 an hour for significantly lower productivity than other businesses get for 12 an hour.
I'd really love to hear any of the usual suspects listen to the piece with an open mind and try to defend the siptu position.Turning millions into thousands

Didn't realise Garth was the best selling artist from the last 20 odd years.
Metallica’s self titled album remains on top as the best selling album in the Nielsen SoundScan era with more than 15.7 million album sales; more than 200,000 ahead of Shania Twain’s Come On Over.
Garth Brooks continues to be comfortably the best selling artist in the Nielsen SoundScan era with more than 68.5 million album sales; 5 million sales ahead of the Beatles.

Can we PLEASE let the Garth Brooks concerts go ahead and gas them.

I actually cannot believe there is a protest outside the GPO. It fucking baffles.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

I would have thought chicken would be impossible to mess up, but hospital chicken is terrible, an insult to rubber chicken really. Hospital food is the nut worst food there is.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.
