Ger Brennan piece on why he's voting no.

It bears remembering he is a religion teacher

[Guest]

Haven't been following other referendum at all, I assume no is a lock? Can't be listening to student union types blathering about how they are going to do more for de youth. If

When is this event taking place, could be the first IPBPPV event.

Be a bit of a non event similar to Mayweather (me) vs Pacman (CHD)

[elbows]

There should be an IPB Defathalon 1 day event:

Pool
Darts
Snooker
Bowling
Pitch and Putt
Poker

Mandatory drinking levels per event

So you're the woman beating scumbag and CHD is the nice down to earth gentleman building churches and schools for the impoverished people of his native land?

That's an odd comparison.

Jaysus that's a load of nonsense dressed beyond it's station. Saw one of his former students describe his as a religious nut, the whole piece just misses the mark.

And the old "I'm not racist cos I have black friends" thrown in for measure.

Suppose I'm asking from a practical perspective. Has anyone tried to do this? E.g. in Malta.

Depends on the company and their current HR practise, when I started I was made open a Maltese bank account but a friend of mine that started later is still getting paid to her Swiss bank account.

I think the Yes campaign will be responsible for more floating voters voting NO than the No campaign.

Cheers. There have been some interesting changes all right. Like the new Court of Appeal leaving the Supreme Court free to decide on weightier issues. The medical negligence cases are awful - usually seems to be a kid with something awful and parents are left in limbo for maybe a decade with not much support until the case is settled. Remember a case recently where the parents were awarded €10m+ on behalf of their kid and their main comment was 'that's all well and good, but we've essentially lost a decade on 24hour care and pitiful support, so who's going to give us back that decade?'

I'll tell you how these cases work in reality some time, not on here obviously. The reality of it is remarkable actually.

Theres a fair but of overkill in the campaigning. Needs to be a week's max campaigning on these things as it just degenerates into minor irrelevant points fairly quickly.


But, this:

It is actually not at all like that.

Actually I'll be playing in Wexford in a couple of weeks. Have you a team Finks? We should organise a friendly.

skyscanner website will point you to the cheapest, but its coming in at €950 best so looks like you are fucked for those dates.
Alternative might be to try a package deal with Thompson or the American Tours lot on Abbey St as they may have pre-booked hotel/flight spots before the collapse of the Euro. Though they usually have the budget level hotels, Excalibur, Trop etc but they are fine imo.

I remember I was getting my haircut a whileaago and the two guys next to me were discussing Vegas trips they'd bought from travel agents (my initial reaction was wtf) but they did seem to get decent deals.

[Denny Crane]

You say that, but then you don't say what it actually is like, so its not really a great argument.

I was thinking while reading the article (and I know it's not what the referendum is about) that I'd rather have a mother and a father than same sex parents - is that idea abhorrent?

I don't think that is abhorrent. And I would probably be voting yes if I was in the country.

Hitch, there are many reasons why voting No does not make you a prick to people but there is no point trying to get into it with you, I have a 4.00 tee time.

My point is that the shoving it down your throat style of all these people that want to let everyone know how much they are in favour of gay marraige is a bit annoying. The fact that multi-nationals are all getting involved in a referendum is bizarre to me for example.

Jayminator has a similar high break too.

Not everyone is a highroller like you and others. There's plenty of IPB'ers would would be happy to pick up 2 x free €5 free bets on a game for no risk, and also collect some guaranteed profit on the Bet365 offer.

I've a 73 break. 9 reds and 9 blacks, pot the red and then had an easy blue but went for a difficult black. Pretty silly seeing as my next highest break is 49 and i just ran really well to get anywhere near 73 so should have taken the points. Haven't picked up a snooker cue in over 7 years. Miss the game!

Hit an 86 years ago when i played all the time, would be doing well to get past 30 odd these days. I cant seem to concentrate long enough anymore to play snooker (or poker either come to think of it) have developed the attention span of a goldfish.

[DeadParrot]

It is actually not at all like that.

It is a little bit.
A lot of people are saying they are voting yes but with no idea of the facts behind it but afraid to show ignorance because being unsure is nearly as bad as a staunch no to some people.

Does anyone else play darts?

Enda K channelling his inner RD3.

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/oireachtas/d%C3%A1il-suspended-as-kenny-tells-paul-murphy-to-toddle-along-1.2210941

The Dáil has been adjourned for the second time in a row about water charges, the amount collected so far and the manner in which Taoiseach Enda Kenny responded to questions.
Socialist Party TD Paul Murphy repeatedly asked Mr Kenny how much Irish Water had received in payment following the issuing of the first quarterly bills.
The Taoiseach told him to “toddle along” to a meeting later this afternoon with Irish Water who would answer any questions he wanted.

When Socialist Party TD Ruth Coppinger asked what was the point of leaders’ questions, Mr Kenny replied: “It’s to tell you where to go.”

My brother was off scratth at golf, could hit 147s in snooker and played senior football from like 14? He broke his back the overachieving bastard

that kid on the late late is better at snooker than me

[Wesley Harms]

I could turn a monkey into a decent snooker player, example hank Marvin, he has improved ten fold since I first met him and could possibly be a 30 break player now

Somewhat related. How the fuck is bowling a sport. Surely it is easy to get to a point where you can hit a strike every time??

Technique, timing and basic shot selection. Shot selection alone would improve most players
