Scott Walker will sort it all out

Yeah, between the years of this graph being a sign of impending doom and the weekly update that this week is grexit week I think I'm going to have to jump to the Hitch camp.

TBF to all concerned I think this might be my favourite post here in months, I can just see the smarmy grin on his face as he typed it up

RD has the most spectacular record of failed political betting ideas on IPB. He's comically bad at them. Most recent being agreeing with my guess of the polls being wrong for UK election. Almost exact words 'you've been played Horatio' on my losing bet with him on Tory seats <310. Or more long term our annual political and economic bets for last few years where he ALWAYS loses. The man is a consistent charlatan. A convincing charlatan though. Listening to him is like a bet in favour of a rising PaddyPower share price...

I think he was locked at the time and overlooking the fact that all of my referendum bets came in except Galway East

or else he was confusing political with economic, where I have never won a bet with him

Walker is way too crazy. Unless Romney runs again, I can't see a president coming out of any of these:



Romney would certainly do well against Clinton. Obama destroyed him in debates by painting him as one of the 1%, but Hillary can't take the same approach without appearing hypocritical.

But Romney will still have the same problem every Republican candidate has: he will have to campaign hard right in order to secure the nomination, then suddenly veer back to centre for his presidential campaign. It's child's play for the opposition to turn this into evidence of lies and hypocrisy.

I Fooled Millions Into Thinking Chocolate Helps Weight Loss. Here's How.

So why should you care? People who are desperate for reliable information face a bewildering array of diet guidance—salt is bad, salt is good, protein is good, protein is bad, fat is bad, fat is good—that changes like the weather. But science will figure it out, right? Now that we’re calling obesity an epidemic, funding will flow to the best scientists and all of this noise will die down, leaving us with clear answers to the causes and treatments.

Or maybe not. Even the well-funded, serious research into weight-loss science is confusing and inconclusive, laments Peter Attia, a surgeon who cofounded a nonprofit called the Nutrition Science Initiative. For example, the Women’s Health Study—the largest of its kind—yielded few clear insights about diet and health. “The results were just confusing,” says Attia. “They spent $1 billion and couldn’t even prove that a low-fat diet is better or worse.” Attia’s nonprofit is trying to raise $190 million to answer these fundamental questions. But it’s hard to focus attention on the science of obesity, he says. “There’s just so much noise.”

Lucky that work is quiet today. I'm in don't give a shit mode. Boss even said he would send me home if it was a normal day but I can work the full day cos he knows I'm looking forward to the weekend that's one of the reasons I like working for him. Good banter.

Cool thanks

Oh. You will also probably have to fold down the back seats.

If it's something you are going to do a lot fit a tow bar and get a carrier.

Western Union online for cash pickup - ridiculous fees though. Make sure to spell the receivers name as it is on their ID.

They have an English bank account if that makes a difference. I'm looking at transferwise thing at the moment. Not sure if it transfers the money instantly though, anyone any experience of using it?

WU - they only need ID in the name you input and they can pick up in cash (WU anywhere) the amount you send. I had to send some today and the other person had it in cash in 10 minutes.

Looking for somewhere to grab decent burger and wings.

Somewhere similar to the likes of Elephant and castle, Bison, Pitt Bros, Aussie BBQ and Coutner.

Any suggestions? Preferably walking distance to Grafton street.

Know it's a bit late but for future reference, Bunsen do savage burgers and I tried Frite Haus just up the street from it the other day and it was quite nice also.

How do you resize photo?

Upload to imgur and you can add an l (large) m (medium) s (small) before the .jpg of the image filename and it will resize an image for you.

Watched girlhood, yep paid real money like hotshotspur. I think it was quite good, would recommend, however inexperience of actors let it down for me imo, and some weak unrealistic parts. Expected more gang realism and there was a part with "intimidation" that made me laugh. My watching mate really didn't like it, her criticism was valid but I really enjoyed though.

Have also just watched Clouds of Sils Maria which I think is exquisite, much better, so that may have affected rating on acting.
Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart were so good as the leads, I wonder is it easier to actin a film on acting, maybe at least more authentic for them.

Have you left your old job voluntarily? Have you been fired? Did you want to work the two weeks but weren't allowed?

My wife works beside Bellucci's in Ballsbridge, she's been going there for lunch for years. She went there today with the baby to meet some colleagues and the cunce refused her entry.

Manager told her the baby would 'upset their corporate clientele'. Cunce. Place was empty too.

It does say so on their website, but still, cunce.

I'd love to work as an auditor for KPMG. What do they do when auditing a company, set up the ps4 in a meeting room and have a pizza party? I see they audit FIFA's accounts

There was a big article about him recently, can't remember if it was online or in one of the papers but it was basically him saying, 'I don't give a shit what people think, kids aren't coming in during lunch times as it may upset the business crowd, end of!'

Driving from Dublin to Roundstone tomorrow at about 12. Anywhere good to stop for some lunch anywhere along the way?

It's motorway all the way to Galway and then it's only about an hour and a half out to Roundstone. Total drive time of max 3.5 hours.

I'd nearly just wait and have a late lunch in O'Dowds when you get there so you can happily drink to your hearts content while eating and not have to worry bout driving after

Hope you get the weather for it, sunny days in Roundstone > sunny days in most places!

Yeah used to spend a lot of time there in the summers when I was younger in Ballyconneely so a few of us have rented a place on Airbnb in Roundstone for the weekend. Weatherwise hopefully get out for a couple of swims and hike a couple of the pins at some stage and we're playing golf on Saturday afternoon so a decent weekend ahead. And sure if it's raining I'm sure we'll fill the days somehow between O'Dowd's/Vaughsn's/King's/Ryan's/whatever is still there.

I think we'll pull into Ballynahinch Castle for a bite in the bar tomorrow on the way. Beautiful spot too.

May have to pick up msn's slack for a bit till she comes home.

10 injections at the dentist today for full mouth anaesthesia. TEN! Couldn't feel most of my face for 5 hours and had a most undignified bowl of soup for lunch.

Letter came this morning from EBS...
Here's your new reduced mortgage rate. Saving us ~40 a month.
Oh by the way, would you like to go on to a 1 year fixed rate and save another 45 a month. Fuck yeah we would.
The less I have to give them cunts, the better.

10 ? Jasus, why would you need to have the full mouth frozen ? Very sensitive and the cleaning upsets it ? Getting the wisdom teeth cleaned kinda freaks me out, they vibrate through my whole head.

The ones into the roof of the mouth are the worst, its up there with flicked balls pain.

No sympathy. Wouldn't be any need for any if you chose a polish dentist. Irish dentists are too triger happy. If that dentist was an optician they would prescribe you glasses.
