Paul Murphy to justify assaulting a Garda on some radio show in the next couple of hours I assume? He also just said "out strength lies outside the Dail" which is about as stupid and dangerous a comment as he could have made.

[Raoul Duke III]

Shows us the way to what you have to wonder....

Anyway Tsiphillis is done. He just doesn't know it yet.

[Lazare]

Hoards of 40/50 year old people going around town in AC/DC shirts, profoundly pathetic get up for someone of that age.

AC/DC shirts are a world less pathetic than football shirts.

Unless you're going to a match or you're 16 or under, you've no business wearing a football shirt. It's pathetic.

imo.

[Raoul Duke III]

I guess merkel wins and either way won't ever see him again. Either she deals with someone more sensible or she never deals with anyone from Greece again.

no vote would be more interesting for history tho.

You would have to be funking the No vote now. Collective punishment for fuckwittery.

[Guest]

Neither are pathetic. Everything you wear to a greater or lesser degree is you showing the world a bit of your personality. If that is 'I like Liverpool', 'I like AC/DC', or 'I like to wear an Armani suit', what odds. Doesn't do anyone any harm.

I've long since accepted the perils of posting on my iPhone with the demon autocorrect.

Also shouldn't you be embarrassing The Situation at the AC/DC concert? Or have you accepted his world view and retired with a milky cup of tea and some slippers to think of appropriate 40+ year old man things?

Would you possibly have trouble getting into the states if you were in cuba the previous month?

The couple of times I was in Cuba they stamped my boarding pass instead of my passport.
I was led to believe this was so there would be no hassle at immigration going to the States.

Sorry to butt in here but I'm just wondering is Paul Carr a legit good poker player?

On board with the slippers, meh on the milky tea, or tea at all

Maybe they should be at home mowing the lawn or reading the paper in front of the fire instead?

It's a bit warm to be lighting a fire m8 Or for mowing the lawn.

Everything is about to be hunky dory soon between Cuba and the US anyway.

Obama opening up diplomatic relations with a new embassy about to open.

Better sell those cigars.

If they opened the borders the exodus would dwarf whats happening in the med now.

[Lazare]

If they opened the borders the exodus would dwarf whats happening in the med now.

But the med situation is closed borders. I'm sure if Europe's borders and the US/Cuba border were open the exodus would be far far greater this side of the pond.

Would be nice for the few days all the same

[pokerhand]

In LA next week, is the weather a bit hazy and cloudy recently?

Hazy in the morning usually, it burn itself out mid morning but it has been fairly warm most days. Some clouds but that is fairly unusual.

More importantly, it has only rained 2/3 times in the last 10 months so definitely don't need raingear, don't even need jacket TBH, a light jumper/sweater is only needed in the evening sometimes. Jacket of choice is sport jacket.

What part of LA you going to?

Cool had just heard from a couple of friends over there that it's been a bit hazy over the past few weeks. Was there in both June and September last year and had perfect weather, blue sky and low 30s every day.

We're there just for next Thursday night then going to Vegas on Friday until the Monday or Tuesday then back to LA to party and hit the beach until the 20th. Staying in The Mondrian in West Hollywood with a couple of buddies. Have bookings in some great restaurants including my favourites over there Gjelina in Venice and Nobu Malibu which are both fantastic if you haven't been. Gjelina's food is amazing, and quite reasonable for the quality. Generally I think Nobu restaurants are a let down for the price but the setting in Malibu is easily the best I've experienced anywhere. A table out on the deck catching the sunset can't be beat. It's also great at the weekend for lunch and Paradise Cove is a great beach spot nearby too.

What part do you live in? I'd love to live there for a while.

I live in downtown, which while not great does have some nice spot. I would actually prefer to live further west but it is handy for work I.e. 10 mins walk which is brilliant as driving anywhere in LA is horrible.

I have been out in Malibu a couple of times on a weekend and love it. A great beach out there is actually Point Dume which is slightly west of Malibu but is much better than Santa Monica and is not quite so touristy.

Don't know the restaurants you mention but that is hardly surprising as I don't really eat out that often.

One great place I do know is a place called Boneyard Bistro in Sherman Oaks, they do savage BBQ and Bourbon, went there once with the lads from the office and it was really cool place.

Problem with LA is it is too big and widely spread out so it not the best for going out. Having said that, it can be fun as there is so many different variety of stuff to do, and the women are hot!

[72over]

just saying. this time last year 72over came up here and had a drink or two with me then we went fishing next day and went to 'weigh in' of our club competition and BBQ and drinks after till early hrs.
Reason I mention is that this year almost all my club members remember 'Dublin Dave' and asked if he was well and remarked that he was a good lad.


that is all and enough.

Dublin Dave is alive and well. Came back home for a couple of months at xmas and had planned on legging it off again but my dad isn't in great shape so still hanging around Eire. Apart from that, poker and all the other crap is going grand. We'll have to have another meet up this summer. Not on fb at mo so can sort sommit via pm here

Continuing, due to popular demand, with stories from the other side of the pond.

Spotted in the finefoods section of the supermarket yesterday:

Now just to get some Kimberleys and a few fig rolls in stock and they can truely justify the 'epicerie fine' shelf.

They knew I was coming.

I'm sure whatever it was it was right up there with mass murder and running the countries premier organised crime racket or personally ordering the murder of a widowed mother and denying her family access to her body.

To the Editor:

In his July 29 column, “Greece Over the Brink,” Paul Krugman writes, “Greece should vote ‘no,’ and the Greek government should be ready, if necessary, to leave the euro.”

I am astounded at the ease with which he recommends this at a time when A.T.M.s in Athens are empty, capital controls — with a 60-euro daily withdrawal limit — are in place, lines are forming at gas stations and supermarkets, and pensions are not being paid. And he nonchalantly adds, “Much and perhaps most of the feared chaos from Grexit” — a Greek exit from the euro — “has already happened.”

Really? Perhaps this is how it is seen from New York; it is certainly not how it feels in Athens.

Mr. Krugman, together with a number of other illustrious American economists, looks at Greece as a playground for the austerity versus non-austerity debate. Except that this is not the issue in Greece today.

There were no doubt many faults in the bailout programs that Greece entered into. But what they and successive Greek governments since 2010 achieved, starting with the one in which I served as finance minister under George Papandreou, was to avoid exactly the meltdown we are seeing today.

After five years of tremendous economic and social pain, in the beginning of 2015 the economy was growing again. What lay ahead was a promise of additional debt relief, and economic and social recovery.

It took five short months for the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to destroy all this because of a mix of ideological blindness, lack of understanding of the basic eurozone rules, unforgivable brinkmanship and plain incompetence.

To cap it all, the government announced a referendum on the creditors’ demands, giving the Greek people a week (!) to make a decision that could define the country for generations.

It is no exaggeration to say that Greece is today slowly sliding toward totalitarianism. And a “no” vote in Sunday’s referendum will be one more step in that direction. Progressives should not provide intellectual cover for this.

Let's not forget the pedophilia and rape too.

Don't remember? Cool. I don't any politician or political party in Ireland approaches fascism, but Shatter sure has balls to throw around the term considering his disastrous tenure as Justice Minister and some of the, eh, "inappropriate" statements and decisions he was responsible for while in the post.

I'm sure FG are really passionate about political reform though.

No gay weddings in Ireland until next year probably. Gay civil partnership ceremonies are absolutely alive and well until then.
