Lowry was actually the person I was going to praise for getting back to -3 after being +2 after a few holes. So maybe I should take the blame for this one.

Really starting to get sick of the crowing about Greece from FG heads and assorted I'm alright jack shit the beds in the media. The wind doesn't have to change too much to land us in a similar position in a few years and you can guarantee all the bootlicking and brownosing to our eurolords over the past while will count for sweet fuck all at the negotiating table

Enja and Gilmore played it perfectly, gave it all the bluster pre election . Went over to meet the bosses and had their balls handed back to them , came home and did what they were told hoping the policies and cyclical economical patterns would eventually turn things around. A few PR disasters aside it looks like working out ok for Enda, Gilmore not so much.

They couldn't really be seen now to be saying anything other than austerity works, and the no more of our dough to those corrupt Greeks sits fairly well with the Irish electorate with a GE on the way.

You can't blame them for crowing, we were in a fiscally worse place than Greece is now when they got in. the prescription that the extreme right claiming to be leftist morons would have left it's with schools and hospitals close, Intel Google Wyeth and the rest gone elsewhere and unemployment 25%+
but hey the country has gone to shit because we have to pay for water, public service wages and social welfare are note only in the top twenty in the world instead of in the top three.
I'm no great fan of Enda or Joan bit given how far we have come in such a short time they can crow away all they like.

Was at an M$ conference recently and a great laugh at the expense at the poor fucker beside me. He was a walking IT cliche.
He arrived early and got one of the freebie packs that come with these kind of things.
At the end of the seminar (clustering woo!!), there was a sign up sheet for further info and demos. I'd no pen and asked him for a loan of one. He only had the free microsoft promo pen that he got with the pack and had a good 10 second internal debate about handing it over. His sense of impending loss over a 20c pen was unreal.
I made sure to write as slowly as possible to make his unease last

Part of the grant I'm on this year requires going to some poxy entrepreneurship course every thursday and friday for 5 weeks out in Citywest. They only got onto me today to say the possible starting dates are next Thursday or the 28th of August.
Just invented a 4 week holiday from mid August to mid September. Hopefully that gets the job done. The title of the modules alone makes my skin crawl.

Naps are unnatural. They dont do you any good unless your an insomniac and they are only break even then.

I disagree.

For as long as I can remember I hit a wall between 4-7pm where I'm struggling to keep my eyes open and function fully. A well time nap during that period, even if only for 30 minutes or so, makes a huge difference to how I feel for the rest of the evening/night.

An opportunity for an afternoon nap is the single greatest gift life can give us.

Diabetes symptoms imo.

Screened negative for Diabetes around this time last year, but as I said this is going back to when I was a teenager and earlier so while I may have gotten/get Diabetes since then I don't think it's the main factor.

I remember reading somewhere, though I'm hazy on where/when, that your body type can influence when you are tired/energetic and that certain body types do hit that slump in the early evening. May have been nonsense or I may have misunderstood it but I definitely find it's true for me. Mornings/Late nights are no problem, 4-7pm is a disaster zone without a nap or copious amounts of caffeine.

[rounders123]

Fair enough come to think of it I think I'm probably just envious of people who are able to take naps. I sleep well but if I were to try to take a nap I wouldn't sleep that nite. Naps are foreign to me is all. So it probably just irks me that I can't get the enjoyment of naps that others can. Okay carry on with your naps so.

[Strewelpeter]

Visited the the Expo in Milan, quite the show they put on, the whole thing is on a massive scale.

Lots of people were complaining that Ireland were clear winners in the pisspoor exhibit category. No one came close to being as cheap and tacky as us with our poorly focussed over extended projectors showing pictures of happy farmers every bit as cliched as the ones on the walls of McDonalds and every Supermarket. Instead of having a restaurant or any food themed presentation there is a mediocre five person riverdance show. One interesting thing was that being a food themed Expo every stand I visited was fully dedicated to the theme but not us we dedicated a third of our stand to an advert for the Wild Atlantic Way.
I suppose they may have done a bit better with the little bit that was spent on it but you have to hand it to whoever decided that the whole thing is a complete waste of money and just putting in an el busto rentboy effort was the appropriate thing for the times we live in.

I normally jump in the pool when I feel like that.

Went to bed at 2am, up at 6:30 for golf at Roda Golf Club at 8am. Went for Irish brekkie in O'Shea's on Cabo Roig strip at around 13:30, 35 degrees here and 93% humidity so it's quite draining. Tried to do some work from 4pm but was nodding off so hit the pool for a couple of hours. Came back around 6:30, got stuck into work and sold a 2016 Merc 63AMG S Sedan. Twas a good day.
Haven't had a drop of alcohol for 3 months but feel like it's time to ease back into it, might have a glass of wine.

Sounds like a great day alright!

Similar here in terms of weather, played football last night at 9pm and it was 30 degrees and humidity at 89%

Currently 28 degrees with humidity at 78% at 9.45pm, temps have really gone up over the last week or two and humidity is becoming unbearable.

Pool is a great idea, closest I have is the sea and given how packed the beaches are, and the fact that I can't swim I have to make do with a cold shower...

What's up with this from a helicopter crash yesterday, does anyone know? Can't work out what the attempted murder angle might be.

Dont know where youre getting attemped murder from, no mention of it in the article. It seems the pilot was reckless in his attempted landings on such a narrow margin. If it happened on his first attempt you can give it to him if he claimed he needed to ditch but he came back a second time. There muct have been clear acres of land either side of that canal.

The second man on board was David Bruton, an award-winning aerobatic pilot and owner of Midland Aviation which is based at Abbeyshrule Aerodrome, about one mile from where the crash occurred.

I reckon the main reason behind the crash is that the pilot is a gobshite.
