easy...

SPOILER

August 17th .

here is why.

SPOILER

first Albert says he doesn't know but neither does Bernard.

by process of elimination we can eliminate May19 and June 18 because those are the only two dates that are not repeated so
with Bernard knowing the date ,he would have known the whole thing.

Albert still doesn't know the full date so it can't be June 17th either because after June 18th eliminated then June 17th would
be the only date in June and Albert would therefor have known.

when Albert says i don't know then Bern figures out it's not June 17th cuz otherwise Albert would have known.
it is after this that Bern says "i didn't know but i know now" .

the only way for this to happen is if the number Bern has is 17 but there were two of them so he didn't know before June 17th was eliminated
and that only happened with Albert's comment.

after Bern says "i know now" then Albert goes through the above process and finds out the full date.
your welcome
.

you can eliminate all of May/Jun based off Albert's first statment

What's the deal if a place your working just keeps you in emergency tax for no good reason when everything should be in order.

The younger brother is in a new job and got a payslip and its emergency taxes the shit out of him. All his details were sorted with revenue 2 weeks ago. He's in the job 3 weeks.

The only way Bernard would know from the outset is if it was a unique date. So for Albert to be certain that Bernard doesn't know(statement 1) it must be a month without a unique date hence eliminating may/june

@ Kayroo . What did you think of Dubs yesterday? Even allowing for the late withdrawals of Brogan / O'carroll and a lot of the Marquee forwards having an off day in the same match , there doesn't seem to be a lot of new ideas emerging for dealing with the blanket defence.

The main tactic seems to be kick the ball into the inside forwards , have them run back towards where the ball was kicked from and pass it to an oncoming half back to run into a wall of defenders and lose it.

Kilkenny showed well and won possession but whereas in his U21 days he would make space and knock it over , he seems to have had that skill trained out of him and is constantly looking to get rid of it.

They also don't seem to understand that if you are 3 points up with 3 mins to go that there is no onus on you to win by 6 points. They need to sit down and look at a recording of how once Cork got ahead of Donegal they just passed the ball around midfield from one wing to the other and drew Donegal out.

I know a lot of supporters from other counties would love to be heading into a third league final in a row but in terms of Championship prospects yesterday was very disappointing.

20,000 a bad turnout for 4 counties playing semi finals with probably at least half that Dublin supporters. It must have been loss making overall for GAA. Surely time they looked at holding these games in neutral venues closer to the participating teams.

Tell him to tell the payroll people to update their p2c. It doesn't cost or save the employer anything by having him on emergency tax so no reason for them not to update it.

He won't get the extra back though will be till the end of the year, it was a big amount relatively speaking

Yeah going on my own volition, caught some great shows in New York and would've gone and seen it then but my buddy had just recently caught it so didn't want to make him go again, raved on about it so and I've heard it's decent so looking forward to it.

This Liverpool Newcastle game is just so odd. I've no idea how there has only been 1 goal scored so far, both teams are awful at the back, it should be about 5-4, but not in an entertaining way really.

@ Kayroo . What did you think of Dubs yesterday?

I get pilloried for this view regularly but O'Gara is a massive loss for Dublin. His brother is going to be a huge player for Dublin in time too. But right now O'Gara is a vital cog in that forward line and him missing is a problem for Dublin this year.

Overall I actually think if you look at what Dublin are doing it's quite positive. They've been building in a new transition system to allow the half-back line to continue to influence the game (look at how often Jack McCaffrey is the outlet ball for Dublin) while simultaneously protecting against the counter-attack. It's also clear to me that the games they've played in Croke Park in particular have had a clear game plan in mind for the summer.

The other consideration is where Dublin are in their arc for the season. After the league final Dublin won't play another Division 1 team competitively until the August Bank holiday weekend. Cork will play one in July, Mayo in August. However Monaghan, Tyrone and Donegal will all play one much sooner, in the case of Tyrone and Donegal it's their next competitive game (against one another in the Ulster preliminary round).

Mayo and Cork are in rebuilding phases (Cork in their 2nd year of one) and have different goals to Dublin in terms of their squad and game plans. Dublin have to peak 16 weeks from now. Cork need to have a big season this year so are taking things really seriously. Mayo are desperately trying to find a way to play the glut of midfielders they have as a means to cover up their lack of support for Cillian O'Connor.

I think you'll see, come August, a front 8 of MDMA, C O'Sullivan, Flynn, Brogan, Connolly, Brogan, Fenton, McMannamon. That's a much stronger front 8 than we've seen all year. Bastick has got a lot of time in the league to get him right for Championship this year but he won't be in the starting pair at midfield. I would also like to see Conor McHugh come in after the Under 21 championship is done but it might be one year too soon for him. While the front 6 haven't scored enough of them they are creating a LOT of goal chances against the blanket defences and as the Championship comes around I think you'll see them put away. Remember Dublin have the best For/Against difference in League 1 by MILES. They've had a couple of horribly low scoring games and are still 2nd highest scorers in the league, only 5 points behind Cork who are first.

So overall I think Dublin are building towards an August date with a blanket defence knowing that in Leinster they're going to get teams who open up to them without a fight. I would make Dublin and Kerry favourites for the All Ireland this year without hesitation (wow - a real outside bet, I know). I don't think Dublin have no good ideas, I think they are learning to adapt to blanket defences and learning to be patient. Overall I think they are learning that lesson quite well.

Sorry dude, was making a funny about Superquinn being closed two years.

Pizza E Porchetta, Grand canal dock.

If the owners of that restaurant don't pronounce it 'Pourketta' I wouldn't trust them to cook good Italian food. Do they?

Reminds me, does anyone else die a little inside when they hear some Spar deli patron say jalapeños with a heavy J?

Or pronounce ciabatta 'seeabatta'?

I'd imagine Liverpool are as focused as anyone at the moment. FA Cup SF to come and 4 points behind Man City in 4th. Would be crazy not to take every game as serious as they can.

Just back from Macroom in Cork. It seemed like a pretty nice spot with plenty of award winning pubs/restaurants (not sure whether to take this with a pinch of salt or not). Didn't get to sample too much high end because of the kids. Less than 40 mins to Killarney too if you want to break it up.

yes, that would work actually

10 year anniversary so doubt a cottage is an option though

Marseilles, 20 degrees, room on the boat.

I would also like to see Conor McHugh come in after the Under 21 championship is done but it might be one year too soon for him.

Can't wait to see him line out for the seniors , was going to throw a few quid on him for young player of the year but hard to see him getting enough game time. I expect to see another masterclass from him in Tullamore on sat.

I checked flights to Nice and a train to Marseille last weekend. 250 ish which was pretty good but the shit Leinster are playing just stopped me pulling the trigger on joining you. I hope I regret it.

Cant see it to be honest. Fantastic player but I think he is an impact sub at best now. He was at the RDS at a baby fair yesterday which I thought was strange??

Also wouldn't be sure about Maxi starting.

Kilkenny centre forward for me, Rock in the corner.

Going to be an interesting year. Actually think Mayo could get over the line this year plus Donegal will be better than last year with McBrearty starting more often.

Donegal I am unsure of. Mayo have a real balance problem in their team and they are always one injury to O'Connor away from disaster. They're also the dumbest team in Ireland which mitigates against them although James Horan leaving should alleviate that slightly.

Fishy Fishy is far and away the best restaurant in Ireland, It sits head and shoulders above all those pretentious foodie places that are popping up everywhere
Simple food, top quality ingredients, prepared well and affordable.
far too few places like it.

Anyone able to recommend a good health insurance plan?

I don't know what constitutes a good health insurance plan for you but I just switched to a plan 43% of the price of my previous one, Laya's Flex 125 Explore. It looks like this:

https://www.layahealthcare.ie/create/#/createscheme?planID=612&adults=1&children=0&students=0

I accept no responsibility if it turns out to only cover sex change operations, the excess is €125k, and it entitles you to sleep in a stall in the bathroom of public hospitals.

[Kayroo]

Chez Hans in Cashel is genuinely special. Also and I cannot stress this enough, Tipperary has some of the best restaurants in Ireland. Some real hidden gems including Daniel Day Lewis' favourite restaurant where the owner hand writes every menu in calligraphy each night.

Stay in Killaloe in Clare which is just over the border or Terryglass or Garykennedy for some good water sport/restaurant/quaint local pub scene combos.

Killaloe in Clare is beautiful too and Keith Wood just opened a massive park there with amenities for the kids too just by the lake.
