Went into penneys yest to grab some stuff for a holiday,holy fuck they are cheap. 2.50 per t shirt. Picked up nice light jacket for 13€ that would cost €200 if you slapped a diesel logo on it.
Great to see companies passing sweatshop savings on to the customer
Some slanging match between herself and the rest of FF since this announcement. Herself and Mickey M clearly not best of buds.
Your hypothesis about the marriage referemdum is clearly wromg; it's all to do with good old-fashioned constituency carve-ups.
I don't know a lot about her but what I had heard from her my reaction was always wtf is she doing in ff?
the story she had about being laughed at at a party meeting when she suggested that they all wear Yes badges when on the by election canvass sounded very plausible today when I heard the way Barry Cowen and some other ff gombeen deny it ever happened.
What did everyone have for lunch? I had a couscous salad in Mochaland. It was very nice. I am on a health kick so trying to limit myself to just four sausage sandwiches a week.

I have a plan to cycle to work. That should be more than enough exercise to keep me alive a bit longer. I don't really fancy getting old so don't want to overdo it. Will probably go back to 6 sausage sandwiches a week to compensate.

Haddock goujons and a few chips with tartare sauce.
Might have a 99 for dessert
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Its fairly certain they were going to run two candidates in the new Dublin Bay North constituency and she had expected to be given a clear run. It sounds liket she wouldn't have had too much of a problem sharing the ticket with the other woman they have there but she was told she would have to fight for the second nomination with Sean Haughy
Would also be interested in cliffs on what makes her a geebag, of course anyone who would willingly join up to FF is in that area by default but you know what I mean.
Posted it up on my Facebook too, but does anyone here want 2 tickets to Rep. of Ireland open training session at the Aviva on June 3rd? I get them as part of the season ticket but wouldn't be able to go.
They are downloadable, so I can email them to you.
He dragged the whole squad there the day before a qualifier vs Austria (iirc). Half the team took the "Ramsdens challenge" -ie eat some big fuck off load of fish n chips and you get it free or something. I think only Gary Kelly managed it. We lost at Landsdowne the next day anyhow.
Still one in the Square which i pop into the odd time as its never busy at lunchtime.
I took (and completed) the harry's challenge a bunch of times when it was on the naas road.
You got a free dessert (Any dessert of your choice)
My dad being the funny wag that he is asked for a POT of strawberrys and icecream.
He got them too the cute fucker.

Interesting, I always thought he was a true believer in the Soldiers of Fail he must be keen to get himself a bit more distance from them.
In college, UCC, he was quite active in YFG. From Tipp (North?), one of his parents was a FG activist too IIRC. Having read his stuff from the beginning I never got the impression he was that much in favour of either of the main parties, but probably quite against SF.
Had this wine today at a fiver for bottle. Thgt it very nice but my palate would not be very refined. Unsure what connection a penguin has with wine though?

Hey, been having a bit of a problem with my laptop if anyone could help. I have a Toshiba Satellite M50-A-11Q. Since the weekend, my mousepad has randomly stopped working. It's an ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad.
I've been able to fix it by doing a system restore back to before whatever update has caused this. Only problem with that is that it's happened 3/4 times now, so obviously constant system restores isn't gonna work in the long run. Is there any way I can stop whatever update is happening automatically? Was looking around to see if there's any driver online that I could install, but am kinda lost. Also, I read that you have to uninstall your current driver to install a new one and I don't have another mouse I can use at the moment.
If anyone could help, it'd be great. Thanks.
Android 5.1.1 came up for my Nexus 5 and it installed with no problems at all. The Nexus 9 on the other hand still wont update
Dont worry about that. What functions are you unable to do on one that you cant get the upgrade on from the other you can?. People are too fixated on having the most update firmware but you wouldnt know the difference whether it had the update or not?.

Reason: unable
She said she was told by them she was the best-placed person to take the seat and Mr Martin’s version of events was a “lie”.
Mr Martin claimed Ms Power had asked him to support her in the selection convention in Dublin Bay North and not to back Councillor Seán Haughey, who will be one of the contenders.
Ms Power said the comments were “outrageous and totally untrue” and was a sign of the return to old-school Fianna Fáil. “I know I would have a strong chance of being elected for Fianna Fáil in the next election. But I have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be a Fianna Fáil TD. I want to be true to myself and have the courage to walk away from the party.”
Ms Power said her announcement was not intended to be a personal attack on Mr Martin. She said he had good intentions but had no control over his party. Mr Martin said her comments were vindictive, disingenuous and unfair.
He said he felt it reflected more on her than on him as a leader.
“I’m not hurt but it just shows a side to her character that is disappointing – she might learn it doesn’t pay to be personally vindictive in politics.”

The fact that google does not show it is a common problem bothers me as I am wondering if there is a fault in it. It has been doing some random shit like screen going blank when you try to turn it on.
The fact it is Googles flagship product and was on a much earlier version of android when it was supposed to get the updates first irked me. I liked the idea of it getting updates before other devices lol.
Typical woman lol. It is working ok, so many books on it and it was such a hassle getting the Overdrive media working again that I am reluctant to set it back to factory. Done that already since I got it at Christmas.
Heading to Bilbao for a few days tomorrow, anyone been/got any advice for things to do.
There's a tram that's about €5 for all day ticket that runs from one end to the other so you can hop on/off to see whats what. Guggenheim Museum I suppose has to be done too.

Yeah factory reset would be a pain. My phone i got at 4.4.2 and was allowed 2 system updates ending at 4.4.4 when they came and now its 4.4.4 for a good while and im sure id see no difference if it was 5.x.x or whatever it is now. Im sure thats primarily a conspiracy to keep people buying newer products.

I really wouldn't get worked up about it. My phone updated to lollipop last month and I wish I could go back,nothing new of use,but messed up one really useful thing.

She's never done well, and the party has never had any interest in her (which is impressive considering the impending gender quotas) she's finished. It says alot about their future direction that after that ref they're not embracing their liberal female member insteadthey're keeping to the core rural voters, in tens years FG and SF may be the only surviving parties from now.
Chiropractors - am I right in thinking they are a bunch of quacks?
Has anyone ever seen one? Missus hurt her back at the weekend in a fall and is going to see one, $120 a visit.

Eric Reed is playing in JJs in June, saw him in the Village Vanguard and he's phenomenon streets ahead of anyone I've ever seen here, it's the jazz equivalent of seeing Ed Sheeran in your local pub for a tenner.
@Tar, I have decided to trial eat vegetarian for the month of June. I'm not a great fan of vegetables generally. Help.
My sister briefly became a vegetarian for a couple of months in her teens. She didn't eat veg. She just ate digestive biscuits with butter. Hope this helps and best of luck with it.

Having carried the hepatitis c virus for 35 years after receiving a contaminated blood product , after 12 weeks of treatment and 2 weeks of post treatment observation my mother tested negative for the virus yesterday.
Testing negative does not 100 % mean that she is free of the virus. Pre treatment she had 1.2 million virus equivalents per ml of blood . Testing negative means she now has less than 10 VE per ml which is the lowest traceable amount . If she stays "negative " for another 5 months there is only a 1 in 300 chance of re-infection. While there is still a greater risk than normal of liver cancer , it is 20 times less likely than pre treatment. Her liver function results show signs of regeneration .
A great day for our family only slightly tempered by the fact that had she not been put forward by the team at St James's for a compassionate use program funded by the drug company , she would most likely not have received this treatment for 2 years. At that stage her liver cirrhosis would probably have been at a point that regeneration was unlikely and cancer if not already present would be highly likely.
Obviously the hep c medical team look only at the patient and the severity of the disease when they present with no consideration as to how they have become infected . The budget allocated to cover the cost of treatment is such that only a small portion of those infected in Ireland will be treated each year . They are selected solely on a basis of medical need i.e. Those in the worst condition are treated first regardless of medical / social history.
At the conference in February , it was certainly the elephant in the room and while not said publicly , I overheard several conversations during the breaks as to why people who had been infected by the state were not being given preference to for example intravenous drug users.
Some might say that the socio- economic environment that most I.V. Drug users come from could also be traced back to government neglect . Some might say that preference should be given to younger infected patients rather than a 75 year old woman like my mother . My opinion is obviously very biased but would be interested to hear what others think.
As I said a truly wonderful day for our family , hopefully to be experienced by many more in the near future.
There's been a couple of times recently where I've ordered veg meals and I've been a staunch carnivore all my life, is it an age thing or something?
Well I was in the Buddhist centre tonight meditating, doing a loving kindness meditation, and the last stage of that practice is extending a wish for all beings to be well, be free from suffering, be happy, grow and progress etc. And then I had this very strong thought "I just can't continue to eat meat".
Now this sucks because I love meat, am not ready to not eat it, and don't want to not eat it. And I have little enough energy as it is without depriving myself of whatever the hell is good for you in meat (it's like a Highlander thing right? I consume their power or something?).
June is Buddhist action month, so I'm gonna give it a whirl. What's the worst that could happen?

Great news for your family. In relation to your question about priority, it's my understanding and correct me if I'm wrong that those infected by the Anti-D product were compensated by the Tribunal? In which case from an objective standpoint that there is no reason not to treat on the basis of need, as all medical treatment should be. That's not to say that money could compensate for what your mother had to go through, but if you were always to look at cause rather than condition when assessing a patient the system wouldn't work.
