That's capitalism for you. What are the overheads on a venture like this I wonder. How high quality are the tickets? How do they draw the letters, is it a proper bingo style drum or just bits of paper in a bowl?

You're ruining my buzz for the Ulster-Munster game. I hope I get it back in time for Palace-Utd and the golf later on.

we use jml for cleaning walls.. just dont scrub them too hard or the paint might come off..

Best I can recommend is a poster Shawshank style for the chair damaged area.

Bit of chalk to go with the cleaning product on areas where it's not too bad.

[The Situation]

Tell me this isn't awful recruitment procedure.

Missed a call on Wed morning requesting a f2f interview.

Also received a mail to the same tune. Email conversation went along this line:

Eve - Our interviewers are available on Tuesday or Wenesday for a a f2f

Me- Any time on Tuesday suits

Eve- Your interview is scheduled for 3pm Tuesday, can you make that

me- yes that time slot suits

Eve- Thank you, once I get the interviewers confirmation I'll send you on full details about it



Two days pass without any word so I mail them back yesterday asking has it been confirmed to which she replied she's still awaiting confirmation.

Why would they state availability of the interviewers in first mail if their availability wasn't at all certain? Fairly reputable company too.

Whats so different from a GAA style lottery using 26 numbers ? I suppose it all depends where the profits are going at the end of the day, are you supporting a local worthy cause or lining someones pockets.

Usually these local lottos have more than 20 people playing per week, and although the odds are worse of winning, the prize pool is bigger and the cause is better than just going to a bar.

That's capitalism for you. What are the overheads on a venture like this I wonder. How high quality are the tickets? How do they draw the letters, is it a proper bingo style drum or just bits of paper in a bowl?

No cause for this one, if there was they would announce it.
My mate is far from greedy, if anything he is generous to a fault. I am sure he doesn't have a clue about the odds of the draw, he probably thinks it will be won every few weeks and he ponies up the 50 euro minimum to get it started and thinks he will have to do this every few weeks. I will ask him about it, I am sure if he understood that the odds were 2600 -1 he wouldn't run it or change it maybe. Maybe if it hits 300 or something they can draw letters until someone wins it, bingo style.
They do a normal draw on the night for bottles of booze, 1 euro a ticket, probably the same amount of tickets sold and he gives away a bottle of vodka, gin, bacardi and 5 bottles of wine. He also doesn't charge to enter the quiz and gives away the same prizes.
For the letter draw they have scrabble letters in a pouch and get random customers to pull a letter from it.

I assume only one of each letter is used. Otherwise I think I can see where there might be an edge to be had

You are putting the time down hard in fairness....

[gorrrr72]

Nah, definitely one of each letter, it's all done in the open. All the letters are laid out beforehand, placed in the pouch, letters drawn and then the pouch is tipped out for everyone to see.

Maybe, yes, if the net cost to Ronaldo is half of that or less even, the full 5m is still going to the fund, or am I mistaken?

Assuming they don't win the CL this year, his haul in 2 seasons at Bayern will be: 2 x leagues, 1 x Cup, 1 x Club World Cup, 1 x UEFA Super Cup. Will no Champions League title mean his time at Bayern goes down as a failure?

There has been a lot of loose talk and conjecture lately surrounding the upcoming referendum. I feel it's only right that, I, as a pillar of the community shed some light on an issue which has really been lost during the debate.

Whether you intend to vote YES or NO please remember that it's of the utmost importance never to touch anybody's willy, including your own, after eating a spice bag.

Sounds good. Love a bit of Liverpool F.C

Dunno, looked weird. Took slight arm in the face, moments later he is down; looks like he told the physio he feels sick.

Henry is painfully bad. Also Jamie Rednapp for someone who was good looking man looks more like Harry every day.

Bit to mad to think how you can win the league every year and be a failure. I guess the manner of the CL exits really puts a black mark on his tenure.

The direction in the polls is always very important. In Lisbon 1 it went from about 70-30 'Yes' in the polls four months out to about 50-50 by polling day and the result was 53% 'No' (numbers off the top of my head). In Lisbon 2, the 'Yes' side always polled at about 60%, and it never trended back in the opposite direction (final vote was 67% 'Yes'). There were similar patterns in Nice 1 and 2. Looking at the polling trends for the Marriage Referendum, they're always around 70-30 'Yes' and they're not trending back so I'd be amazed if it doesn't pass. The 'No' side would have to come up with copious amounts of shite in two weeks to reverse this one. They're definitely skilled in that department, but time is against them. Also (and I feel a bit old saying this), if you get the 'Young Voter' out, then it will pass easily.

Edit to add: My memory betrays me, Lisbon 2 polls were actually always polling higher i.e. sometimes as high as 80% (undecided's excluded). Marriage Referendum polls are generally higher (undecided's excluded). Unless there are a lot of people lying in the polls, there's no way it won't pass.

[dobby]

I need a ruling. Soccer related. I'm at a game at the moment and this just happened.

Opposition play a through ball. Keeper collects. Ball drops out of keepers hands. He picks it back up. Ref gives an indirect free kick inside the area. Am I missing something?

On phone so not going through the fifa website.

Sounds good. Once the keeper drops the ball, he can't touch it with his hands unless an opponent touches it.

Assuming the keeper had 'full control' of the ball when he collected it then it's the correct ruling.

[dobby]

Good to know. Yes he had full control. Thinking on it a bit more now it makes perfect sense. If it wasn't a foul then the keeper could just drop it and pick it up to protect a 1-0 lead for the whole game.

[Lord Sir Banter]

Are you reffing?

[CHDad]

He'd get his legs broken.

[Jam-Fly]

He'd get his legs broken.

What do you think would happen if this tactic was employed:

1) Go 1-0 up in a match

2) Bring on two 7'5 tanks

3) Put one in goals and one outfield

4) Goalie drops ball onto outfielders head and catches

5) Repeat step 4) until final whistle

[dobby]

Are you reffing?

No. Spectating tonight. Playing tomorrow for our promotion.
