Stressful evening looking up hotels in London. So many and really is expensive.
Anyone got any recommendations? Staying 3 nights and would like to keep it below 600 total.

Use airbnb.com and just select 'whole place' or whatever removes all the shared rooms. It's great. Should easily be able to get somewhere central for way less than €600.

Did you stick with the Good Judgement Project in the end?

Hell no. I hadn't got a notion about any of the items. I stopped reading newspapers and watching news a few years ago, so apart from skimming short accounts I don't know what's going on in the world, so I certainly can't predict the chances of South Korea signing a trade agreement etc.

Did you?

Watching videos of people scratching scratchcards and listening to a recording of a washing machine. Not even joking. Seems weird what I am doing now that I have typed it out, was ok with it before that.

Yourself? Where are Manyoo going to finish?

Heard a good story about a former employer of mine. Having been away on a weeks holidays somebody inquired how he had enjoyed it and was met with this!

"I was away alright but I wasn't on holidays"

"I was in America doing a course on how to live longer"

Jaysus a top course like that must cost $100k to attend. A whole week like.

On the way to the airport Mr. Honda, prepare the carpet.


What's the story with food, will they confiscate the likes of hummous and crisps and so on or not? It's never happened me but I always wonder if they checked.

[Raoul Duke III]

I was too strong a character to get wrapped up in it all - I would passively attend certain internal meetings but I was always several moves ahead in the game of chess. I always made sure that others knew I was several moves ahead. I have endless hours of stories to tell about it though. I often dip in and read the contemporaneous notes I used to send from my work email to my personal email after every encounter and they do make good reading. After I left I was approached by a major newspaper to do an expose but I wasn't interested. It didn't bother me and I got on well there. It was huge for my career and I didn't want to be "that guy" for the rest of my career.

There are a few hilarious threads on the whole debacle (not you, the saga) floating around the net afair.

Not Quinn related but didn't some similar bullshit-peddler hire a room out in MIT,gave a speech then put on his resume that he had lectured in MIT lolz

[hotspur]

I have only ever met 2 people who have told me that they did some stuff with Tony Quinn's organisation, both of whom told me this in the past few weeks. And both claimed that it benefited them.

In fact one of the guys said that doing his expensive 2 week course in the Bahamas many years ago was the best thing he has ever done.

Two people is not a good sample size, but it currently represents the population of people I have met with experience of it.

Not entirely sure why I'm mentioning it, just that I was surprised I suppose. Probably shouldn't have been, people can experience anything and everything as being wonderfully helpful from a personal development perspective. Thank God

[Tar.Aldarion]

Yeah every now and then hitch flips open his laptop, fires up chaturbate, selects new regional settings and either lectures/has an interview that nobody is prepared for

If the reverse is true then I did sterling work improving myself in my teenage years.

Hummous will prob be counted as a liquid/gel/paste, crisps wont be taken off you or food in general

I don't see any reason to stop self improving now that you're an adult.

The questions were certainly more mundane than I was expecting. I'd only logged in once or twice and had answered a small number of questions when they emailed me about the $250 amazon voucher for participating. I filled in the quota in two sittings during down time in work, ez money. Not sure how much of this was just luckboxing but posted a reasonable score, might give this round a proper go.



Good ol' Israelis.

They probably would if they spotted it I guess. Gotta live life on the edge

Any thoughts on best way to organise a Ryder Cup sweepstake for the GAA club?

I was saying just pick X players and whatever points are generated by each player add into your total.

Main issue would probably be the possibility of everyone picking the same X players, although I was thinking if you could pick from both teams that would probably ensure enough variance between selections.

[Denny Crane]

Anyone have any experience of replacing a post box key? I lost a set my set of keys and when I was getting the new set from the locksmith he said the only way to replace the post box is if there's a code on the front (which there isn't on mine), otherwise I have to get him out to replace the lock, presumably at some extortionate rate.

It's just one of the these fairly standard aluboxes

started job today. I have my very own desk and computer. Feel so important lol

So so so much to take in. Simple things like Ad sizes, columns, prices, software they use. I could also be anywhere from front desk at reception , out on the road or in the office. Had a great morning and very excited by it all. Cant wait to dig in!!

I've met a few poker players and IPB'ers on hols in Killarney over the summer. So if anyone is around tonight, the monthly game is on in Connies place. €45 incl reg and league chips, €35+5+5. 20min blinds 23k ss, 15k+5k league +3k early bird, €1k gtd. 9pm start.

Club number is 064 66 30057. Ken Doherty will be playing tonight ahead of a snooker exhibition tomorrow night.

Its not an ideal heat for (I assume) a football club lotto style game as there is only 24 'numbers' to choose from which is just 2024 different combos if selecting 3.
And the Rory factor is a problem really, as too many people are likely to pick him. So 3 from 24 could effectively become 2 from 23 which is only 250 different combos (and even within that 250 some will be far more popular than others).

I suppose a key question to consider is how many tickets you intend selling, and just how upset people would be if they had to share the pot 7 ways.

People will definitely want to pick their own stables. We were thinking about doing it where you have to pick 4 US players and 4 EU players, think that should keep it variable enough.

Don't do a sweepstake format, do a value table. Split the players into monetary values and give everybody a budget of X to spend. a bit like fantasy football really....





...speaking of which, there are now only 10 shopping days left to get yourself involved in the spectacular event of this, and every other year. The IPB Fantasy Football comp starts in 10 days and for the next 10 months that's where all the cool cats will be hanging out.

If you don't sign up before the deadline you'll regret it forever...


...or at least until next season starts.

Shush.se is the nut stream site. Doesn't have everything but most of the usuals. As good quality as you get without paying
