Re: Werewolf analysis

Are you saying we have little conformist social behaviour within our current society? Just because the current means of engineering behaviour has become much more sophisticated and subtle doesn't mean it acts with any less weight on our lives.

We basically go through indoctrination within early schooling which teaches us conformity, fear, standardisation etc. We're far more exposed to advertising, films, television etc than ever before. If you study the history of cinema at least within the mainstream, the increasing emphasis isn't on asking people questions, to think or to question the world we live, but to provide stories of how to live with happy endings or rubbish which allows people to turn their brains off for a couple of hours. The media provide so much of the narrative around world events that even to the most discerning person finding truth in anything these days is a lie. We innovate, create and employ the masses increasingly in ways to distract, distance and alienate us from each other.

+1 million. Just look at the infantile crap clogging up the multiplexes , guardians of the galaxy etc. Pure sedative. (and yes i realise thats a bit rich coming from a guy hunting imaginary werewolves on another thread) thinking of ditching my tv again, went through over a year without, when i got it back i found the advertising and manipulation pretty overwhelming but over time you just acclimatise again. Btw does anyone find sky sports new season ad really creepy? (the one with stelling showing a bunch of kids around the studio.)

Dineen and Murphy all I've got that's negative. Glowing of Keatley really!

There's a depth chart too, but sure that's pretty standard.

Sonny Bill Hurley first choice inside centre for the year apparently!

Jesus they're utterly fucked. I won't be too sorry either, O'Connell and Foley potshots at Penney (even though I never had much time for him either) since he's left entirely unnecessary imo, it wouldn't have happened to one of the munster oldies but they're hanging him out to dry.

Couldn't even sell out Thomond for HC matches last season either, red army me hole.

Nice little 3rd place there in the $16.50 turbo that started on Stars at 22:30. $2.5 k not too shabby. 1 monster stack knocked out most of the final table so I'm a bit pissed I couldn't get 2nd place.
Expensive weekend ahead at a friends wedding so it's good timing.

Meant to shamelessly brag-post again last Sunday but I was too bolloxed all day; managed to deal heads up in the CPT 10k in Clonmel for 2.3k + a €250 ticket to the CPT final.

I have been busy perfecting my soda range.

I built a well in the garden to source my own craft water but for some reason no water has shown up. With the good weather today I got out the trusty BBQ and made use of the well. So many ways to cook things on this Trolley. I highly recommend it.

Never stopped her before. Fairly confident I could sell SKY at this stage myself.

It's just different flavours of retardation, we just have a solid preference for modernity flavour because that's the flavour we have been given 365 days a year.

...

tl;dr I am not saying that a lot of the traditional views and practices of many Muslims are not retarded, but let us not kid ourselves that we are any less retarded. Not "when Ireland was a very Catholic country before we all copped on" retarded, but right now, with all our rationality, freedom, and modernity - full retard.

Incredibly amateur. Hard to believe that hasnt caused serious ructions in the camp. Although fortunately for them they have a soft enough opening set of fixtures.

Also makes you realise how far back they've gone when you see depth chart. Minor miracle they have reached consecutive HC semi finals. They won't get out of their group this year, though obviously groups have gotten harder with less teams.

http://www.independent.ie/business/personal-finance/property-mortgages/house-hunters-queuing-for-five-days-before-new-homes-go-on-sale-30559705.html

Its like the last 8 years never happened

Eager house hunters have started queuing outside a Dublin housing estate five days before new homes go on sale there.


Three separate buyers set up camp in Millers Glen in Swords north county Dublin at lunchtime yesterday and have not left the site since.

"I have my heart set on this," said retail manager Megan O'Shaughnessy (23), who is top of the queue.

Millers Glen is a new development of 60 houses, consisting of two, three and four bed family homes, in the Dublin suburb of Swords.

Three-bedroom end terrace houses are on the market at €279,950.

Three-bedroom semis cost €289,950, while a four-bed detached house is selling for €399,950.

Megan plans to take it in turns with her fiance, a sales assistant, to ensure they don't lose their place in the line.

"No one is allowed in to see the houses until Saturday, but I'm going to stay here until then.

"I haven't looked around the house, but they're a good price. It's a three bed semi I'm after," she told independent.ie "I've seen the pictures and all we'll have to put down is floor covering. It comes fitted with kitchen, wardrobes, everything."

She said house prices in the vicinity of the development are "rising fast".

"The prices are going to keep going up. If we moved out of Swords we'd probably get something cheaper but we want to go that far.

"There will definitely be others joining the queue in the coming days," she added.

She said they had saved €30,000 - 10pc of the house price - and secured a mortgage for the remaining €250,000.

Ronan O'Driscoll, director of Sherry FitzGerald, said interest in the housing units is "unprecedented."

"There are about four parties there at the moment, but we'd expect it to grow over the next few days," he said.

"They'll probably use tents. I've been involved in this business for 25 years, and I haven't seen anything like this since 2006.

"Even at the height of the boom, I never remember people queuing on a Tuesday, for a show house opening on a Saturday.

"That's unprecedented in my view."

It is the first new housing estate in Swords since 2006, he said.

Behind Megan were other hopefuls.

"I'm here since last night, and I'm staying for the long haul," said Chentelle Farrell.

"It's the right time to buy and €240,000 is in our price range. I'm had my eye on the house for a while; we love it."

The new housing estate was developed by Gannon Properties and the 60 homes are open for viewing this Saturday.

In scenes reminiscent of the boom, the potential buyers said they will all be "heartbroken" if they do not get the houses they are after.

Families, friends and potential new neighbours are all stopping by offering support.

I'm guessing you haven't read the books? I won't post spoilers anyhow obviously. It's quite faithful to the books so far, but obviously some things are done a bit differently in it. It's pretty entertaining so far I think, I'm enjoying it anyhow.

Simple supply and demand, feck all wrong with the folks queuing, they would like a house in a certain area and see these prices as affordable.

Whats driving the prices up, as well as low supply in areas people actually want to live is investors creating a false demand, these are the people that should be paying a higher stamp duty etc , rather than the joe soap who wants to live within walking distance of the mammy so child care costs are cut out.

I would guess it took me at least 8 or 10 attempts to finish that film.

Happy i did, but it took a while to get there for such a perceived cinematic classic imo.

See my reply, its worth it at the end, but by Christ, its a journey getting there.

Edit: Do try and watch it soon and let me know, maybe its me.

Loved that episode. Now it didn't advance the story beyond getting key people together, but it was a wonderful self-contained episode that is familiar in horror of being stuck in a place with monsters outside. It reminded me for some reason of the film The Mist based on a Stephen King novella.
