I purchased a bottle of Oxley Gin in Malaga airport yesterday evening. I have never heard of it but at €55 a bottle, pretty sure it is the most expensive gin I have ever seen, it better live up to its own hype. A bit of googling tells me they produce just 240 bottles of it per day.

I did that for a summer during college for a well known magazine that deals with business & finance. Best of luck with it, it wasn't for me, but there were people in there who seemed to really enjoy it.

Tough to defend Nuri and a few others, they've made the Liverpool thread a complete unreadable mess for the last few months.

Strange though that Nuri was mod of various forums over there at one stage -, demodding isn't unusual as we know but it must be fairly unique to go from modding to being perma banned from the whole site so emphatically by Dav.

Have made this point here a few times actually, employment law in this country is monstrously stacked in favour of the employee. The system is designed along the lines of "employer evil, employee angel" and there is almost a presumption of compensation.

That is of course if you can get yourself designated as an employee. Interesting article in the law section of today's Irish Times about internships along that point.

In any event, "rights commissioners" are appointed by the Minister and are generally not legally trained or if they are trained tend to be trained along the lines of human rights lawyers (read: they wouldn't know practical law if it preached Methodist Christianity at them) and so are invariably claimant friendly.

I don't do much of this area because I find it deeply annoying frankly.

Saw this article on Joe.ie about Ray D'Arcy's interview with Cathal Pendred after the UFC in Dublin. Really impressive interview and responses from Pendred. I'm always a big fan when sports people conduct themselves well in these type of interviews.

There's always a big difference between general population interviewers and specialist interviewers (e.g. Tubs on the Late Late with John O'Shea would be a massively different interview than John O'Shea speaking with Iain Cheyne). D'Arcy is clearly not very educated on the subject, but reasonably so, given that his job is the ask questions based on the views of people with little knowledge of the sport. It's good to see sports people respond well to these questions, even though in their eyes, they could well be fairly stupid questions.

Well D3 can be Clontarf or East Wall! Marino is nice but a bit of a maze and very narrow streets which can be a bit needley to navigate on a daily basis. Beaumont ftw!

Yeah Fairview. Anything past the Annesley Bridge is fine

From here




So, they shoot down a plane. Act the horrific bollixes about access for four days. Then stop acting the bollix. And the stopping to act the bollix about handing over the bodies weakens the case for sanctions. Never mind about the actual shooting down of the fcking plane, because that's seemingly not the important bit.

Have they proved the russians shot down the plane?
The Ukranian airforce has shot down civilian planes before and also denied it.

The big takeaway from this for me (apart from how horrific it was obviously) is that commercial airliners SHOULD NOT be sanctioned to fly over war zones, 41000ft or no. The unpalatable reality is that this tragedy was the result of a mistake - an undisciplined moment of madness from forces with weaponry of destructive capabilities far in excess of their levels of competency and restraint. There is of course no direct comparison, but innocent people have always perished due to errors of judgement in warzones. If a 'no travel' warning is issued by foreign affairs departments all over the world it seems common sense to me that a 'no fly' instruction should accompany it.

In terms of the aftermath, the scene should have been cordoned off immediately with a focus on trying to find survivors (extremely unprobable but nonetheless possible) and then preserving evidence. Then technical teams with the required expertise should have been invited in and provided full access. That didn't happen, why? Because it's a fucking warzone with irregular forces operating without proper structure (the reactions should be indicative that - to some extent anyway - this is not a full on official arm of the Russian army operating in Eastern Ukraine). It is also disputed territory. Air travel regulations dictate that the state within which a crash occurs is responsible for overseeing investigations. Hence the Black Boxes are on their way to Moscow, because the territory is currently claimed as Russian.

My point here is that, as terrible a tragedy as it is, Russia or the pro Russian militia forces operating in the region won't have been the first military to mistakenly shoot down a civilian airliner. I don't think for one second that this was a deliberate, calculated action. There would certainly be no motive for them to have done it. They fucked up. People wanting Putin to go down over this or calling for really strong actions against Russia need to realise that disgraceful shit like this happens in war zones. The lasting change that could be made is a simple change to flight rules, a very minor positive.
