Below cost selling and over pricing/taxing in pubs are two different things
Supermarkets are not selling below cost for your benefit
Going to stick to my not worth talking to bit tbh, not worth the stress of arguing with people who are looking at it thru such a narrow prism as "I want cheap beer"

I'm open minded to your thoughts. Bit circular and self-defeating to punish me for my blindness/ignorance to what you think is the problem with below cost selling by refusing to explain it though.

Been up the walls the last week, any craic?
Two things:
1) Car failed the NCT on:
No need for a retest as it's just a visual defect. How do I go about solving this would anyone know? Is Cont. moisture continuous moisture or what?
2) Odds for the premier university soccer competition were released today (http://www.paddypower.com/football/i...ollingwood-cup). UL at 9/1 to win it is really good value, I'd price us at about 6/1 or 7/1. What is everyone's max bet on this market?

problem is below cost selling and (separate point) back door price matching
What they are selling below cost is pretty much an irrelevance
& not as bad as this:

& you working for a bookie
Why is selling stuff for less than you bought if for as a constant business strategy ok?
Then take into account (if you want it to be about booze) it's a drug, why is that ok?

@Jamie
contains moisture?
Remove light fitting- as you would when changing bulb, wipe glass clean with kitchen roll. replace. Bring back to test centre, show tester, go home.
If it is this, your light has a hole in it somewhere, letting water in. If its not cracked - its probably the rubber seals have perished.

I'd go one of 2 routes, either try 100 in 2 stores or just ask the guy behind the counter what the max bet is on the market - in some stores they have told me which means you have time to go to another shop and bet before price goes down.Go big or go homeless.

haven't shared quiz questions as of late for some reason, here ye go now
I can't remember the ones we got right yesterday but these are the 3 we got wrong in this round.
Fill in the blanks, the part in brackets are clues and all the vowels have been given to ye
_ _ a _ _ _ a _ e _ (river)
_ i _ a _ (rival to spotify) - none of us had heard of it
_ e _ o _ _ _ / O u _ (boxing phrase), the / means separate word
there was some very annoying sports questions that I missed in the news like the name of the track F1 racers are testing on this week and shtuff. 1st place though, bossed it!Go big or go homeless.

Vaping may not be as safe as smokers think, research suggests
oh wait
Scientists also found that e-cigarette vapour contained free radical toxins similar to those found in cigarette smoke and air pollution – although at around 1% of the level of conventional cigarettes.
