Ordered some tickets on ticketmaster, didn't tick insurace but it got added anyway. So I email the insurance providers and get an instant email "If you have requested a refund of your Insurance premium, please allow 5-7 working days for your request to be processed.". i mean, that is what they must be emailed all the time, if it's literally their auto reply.
Got a letter in the door from eircom offering me 100 meg internet, welcome to 5 years ago eircom, I'll be sure to lower my speeds and pay more to you..

I am quite of a fan of the current government and what they have achieved.

The professional protestor being arrested again.
A fair bit better attempt by the gentleman at 4 seconds in than the guy who was assaulted by Gardaí the last time.

I'm driving an Audi at the moment (black).
The coolant is gone low in it. The internet tells me I need a specific type of coolant to top it up - G12.
I believe the same stuff is in VWs as well.
Anyone know is it something that most garages are likely to have or will I need to go somewhere special to get it?

I've made lamb burgers / koftas for tonight
Kind of a random enough recipie
1Kg leanish lamb pieces minced by the butcher
Throw 2 onions , 4 cloves of garlic, 3 sq cm ginger, 2 red chillies into a blender and blitz to a liquid
mix with a few breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, bunch of coriander, mint, grated zest of a lemon, juice of 1 lemon, heaped tablespoon of garam masala
Will probably cook them on the bbq and serve with a salad and a cucumber and mint raitia when i get back from swimming.Turning millions into thousands

We have a useful new phrase:
A rentier state is the political science term for a state where “money grows on trees.” The money comes from either natural resources (think oil and Saudi Arabia) or from extorting a foreign state that for reasons of security or self-interest subsidizes the target country (think North Korea and China). Rentier states are distinguished by two features: they excel at spending money rather than raising it; and they tend to lack a social pact between governing and governed. Without a need to tax, the motto “no taxation without representation” does not work."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Not very socialist. 'We ourselves' takes on a new meaning."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

First they wouldn't and couldn't resurrect Drachmas; that currency does not exist any more. They will create a new currency that might well be called Drachma or Varoufakis Bucks or whatever but it will be a new currency and have new currency code etc. You can be sure that DeLaRue will be able to produce designs as many trillions of the new paper as they want within hours of getting the call.Turning millions into thousands

Only a half day of work to go before I finish up until the 27th! I can't wait.
I have the small matter of my impending wedding on Saturday as well. Who knew wedding speeches could be a pain to write? I think my plan of write a few things down, don't really re-read it again too often and probably make it up as I go along was a fairly flawed strategy, so I've spent the last couple of hours fixing it up somewhat. I'm sure I'll still wing it a bit though on the day. I'm not sure if it's a bit long though, as it'll probably take about 8 mins or so, maybe a bit longer on the day, but I might balance that out by not referring to notes and forgetting sections!
Still, I'm looking forward to it all, and once I leave work tomorrow afternoon it'll be the start of it all properly.

1. The first time you say "on behalf of mywife and I"
2. The first time you reference the wedding night
3. Any moment you pause to get serious for a second and look at your new bride and say something sweet.
Beyond that you just need to thank everyone, say something about how her parents were always lovely to you but the father kept you on the straight and narrow, reference how much your parents have done for you and how much you appreciate it, say something fun about the stag and the bunch of charlatans who organised it but how they're scrubbed up at least blah blah blah. End with a lovely story about your bride -preferably with a sweet punchline - and then toast her. Something like "Just before I ask you all to raise a toast to my bride I'd like to thank one last person and that is (insert bride's name). Everyone here gets to share the start of our marriage but only I get to live it with you. (pause) Please raise your glasses to my beautiful wife - to (insert bride's name)".
