It is significant (more in the context of future capital investment than the current budget, as we know it's already on books but keeping it there in the medium term would be painful).

Better compliance would move it off. Better compliance it shall be.

I've watched this a few times now. Still expecting it to crash

I was on a flight with the two youngest in 2011 coming Glasgow to Derry and it was much worse than that. Even when we landed it was going side to side almost touching wings on each side. We were all pushing against the seat in front as it was trying to steady/stop.

Complete silence once we came to a stop, no Ryanair trumpet despite landing on time, think the pilot would have been lynched if they had ha!

Truly terrifying experience. Since the little one was under two she was on my knee so I was using one hand to hold her and one against the seat in front. The young fell on the other hand who was 9 thought it was just great craic altogether!

Been on minimum amount of flights soon! And here is me who was supposed to work for British Midlands back in the 90's haha

Spotted a bidet in loo here. Never tried one before. So just sat there for about five mins. Was quite refreshing, amazing the direction is spot on. Presuming every arse is built the same way now. Amazing shit altogether

Edit to say, amazing shit, meaning amazing stuff altogether. Lol

You have had kids and never used a bidet? what sort of hospitals do they have down your way lol! We were encouraged to use them after childbirth to ease stitches pain. They are great things

[Raoul Duke III]

It's all ahead of you.

I played cricket in Dalymount Park. I win.

Maybe one day I'll play cricket in Croker. That'll give them something to talk about.

I played rugby in Landsdowne Road
Well, if the complete truth be told I sat on the subs bench at Landsdowne road

Edit to add: I see nothing particularly wrong with following the Eirgrid model where the distribution and network is run/owned by a semi-state while the billing, etc is completely opened up.

I had taken it as a given that when Irish water is sold that it will be on an Eirgrid model. It is the only way it makes sense surely

Don't recall being told to use one of them after having kids, tbh I always thought ugh dirty looking yokes and God knows what was sitting on it before me . Never really wanted to try them out. Was locked last night and bored so decided to have a go.

Watching TI? Sick day 1 of groups, every team getting at least one win.
This was class

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uaMiGeNrlg

For others basically a member of a team jumped into all 5 members of the other team and stole something really important, probably winning the game from that move alone.

Yeah I watched 4 games last night. Longgames are long. Arteezy's TA was amazing. Bone7's Legion was lolbad. Na'Vi look better than normal, they always pull it out for the big occasion. Secret look unstoppable all the same.

Didn't see that steal, thanks for pointing it out. Amazing play.

sonneiko being 8-3-11 on shaker after 20 mins for navi was unreal, he was buying gems and shit already as a position 4. So many more games to go 3 million concurrent viewers already.

[Strewelpeter]

I'm still bitter and twisted about that game 35 years later I got dropped after the semi final in favour of the brother of one of the best players on the team who had only started playing a couple of weeks before. Again the complete truth is he turned out much better than me and we got a severe trouncing in the final ...but fuckit anyway

HE's a big fat cunce these days and I'm doing triathlons so stick that up yer gash

[AndyFatBastard]

Yeah every single action he took was perfect. Got a bit of luck with the duel (Legion didn't know Visage was out of mana) but it was still amazing to watch. I wish I had 1/10th the skill.

[bp_me]

One would hope.

But the Eirgrid model is deregulation rather than sale. All the mess over the pensions was (supposedly) to make electric ireland attractive to potential buyers (at least I think... it's a little unclear where Eirgrid stops and electric Ireland starts).

[CHDad]

AJ, WK, FD anyone who has modded WW before...

Anyone able to lock it up for me tonight?

[tylerdurden94]

One plus two starting at $329.

€399 for the 64gb model is pretty much a no brainer, was just reading the boards.ie thread on it personally I couldn't care about NFC think I've used it about 3 times ever including my Nexus, fast charging meh & wireless charging a novelty & interesting isn't a must for me, so far I'm really digging the phone & if anybody has any invites going I'll snap one up off you & share what I can here, currently 470,000 in the reservation list will hopefully be able to seel my OnePlus One for circa €150+ so a nice way to offset the cost.

MKBHD take on it so far -

i fell asleep watching last night, so much dota. There is a reddit post with all the best games, think i may follow that, its hard to watch it all.

Yep, I should be home around 8.15 so can do it then.

I'm gonna buy it as soon as I can get my hands on an invite which is probably -EV as the OPO could do me for another year yet.

The reasons for the Eurostat ruling are not clear, but are likely to centre, in part at least, on the €100 annual grant that the Government agreed to pay to households that signed up for Irish Water.

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/irish-water-must-stay-on-state-balance-sheet-eu-says-1.2299128

So the stupid Water Conservation Grant, an ill thought out reaction to the level of protest, is responsible for today's debacle?

Lol if so.

Was a ridiculous 'solution' considering the tax cuts done at the same time. Should have just painted the tax cuts as the bribe and not the 'grant'. "Sure we'll just tell EuroStat its not for the bills".

Capped charges too - utter bollix weak willed populism to try and win over the staunch "not payers".

Cheers man appreciate it, was watching a Droid Life video just now and he mentions that the 16gb model has 3gb of RAM where was the 64gb has 4gb. That fingerprint scanner is pretty quick.

CurrencyFair, TransferWise, and other such services - do you just transfer the money to an account in another country/currency? So you can't actually access the money, it's just for international transfers? Ie. it's no help if you're going on holidays and want to exchange cash? Or am I missing something?

correct, you need an acount in the currency you are looking to transfer/buy, although i imagine it must be possible to transfer to vegas or some such if you credit your hotel prior to arriving? might simplify things a lot if that were possible.

[Denny Crane]

shit.
I dont seem to have one

I thought I signed up yesterday before the launch but I don't seem to have now Don't think there's any rush though, be another couple of months before they arrive.

Should start a thread in here for sharing invites anyway.

[LuckyLloyd]

Not just the grant lads:

http://m.independent.ie/irish-news/five-reasons-why-irish-water-failed-a-crucial-eu-test-31410448.html

The five reasons are:

· “Considerable government control” over Irish Water, “in particular” over board appointments and operations, and the introduction of pricing caps.

· The fact that Irish Water “merely reorganises” the operation of the network from the local authorities, and that a “large majority” of Irish Water staff remain employees of city and county councils.

· The “significant and continuous funding” and support to the company in the form of operational grants and funding.

· The lack of “economically significant prices”, and in particular the cap.

· The fact that sales must cover at least 50pc of production costs. “This is further amplified by the high number of households not paying their bills,” Eurostat said.

[Strewelpeter]

Not just the grant lads:

http://m.independent.ie/irish-news/five-reasons-why-irish-water-failed-a-crucial-eu-test-31410448.html

Not even close to game over but it is possible that the people who have manipulated and lied about this issue from the start will achieve their only objective and that is to have it as a decisive factor in the next election.

This could be a very bad thing - the line for how far you can lie and dissemble in pursuit of a populist policy will have shifted off the chart

Failure = Labour's input (LA staff) + FG's desire to stay in Govt (pandering with capped charges & the 'Grant')

Only went for a day trip. Little bit grim, would sooner go to Cologne in that neck of the woods. Much cooler place with a concentrated centre.

I'll if i get any.

I was thinking FG would try for a November election but not sure now. Going post Christmas and approaching the centenary celebrations not good for them either.

[LuckyLloyd]

In other news, new Full Tilt update fairly stunning:

- HU gone
- High Stakes gone
- Table selection no longer possible
- limits placed on number of tables per stake level
- railing gone

So different to the landscape I worked in a half decade ago!'

[Guest]

Draw and stud games all gone too, which I don't really understand the reasoning behind.

HU generates massive rake doesn't it? Weird.

Really? Would have thought it's the only option. The budget will be positive for everybody so April seems logical plus you get the bump from continued macroeconomic rungood. (The umemployment turnaround is stunning when you look at the bare stats)

Not a huge amount to do otherwise to be honest.
We went for the Xmas markets and they were great but dunno what you would do at other times.

godo review here

http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/europe/the-wunderbars-of-dsseldorf-8482194.html

[Raoul Duke III]

The whole 1916 centenary thing will be irrelevant in the election imo

People care about immediacies in their lives not the minutiae of how we might or might not commemorate historical events. Most people couldn't provide a cogent explanation of the 1916 rising in any case.

[Guest]

Draw and stud games all gone too, which I don't really understand the reasoning behind.

Playing numbers are tiny.
Hu games you might see 1 or 2 tables playing the rest have about 150 bum hunters waiting for a fish.
Dont understad why they took out high stakes.
Stars have also stopped giving players fpps for live games anything to make a few extra bucks.

[LuckyLloyd]

Running against SF / FF as people begin to swell up with patriotic mucus seems less than ideal to me. I'd expect us all to be reminded of John Bruton's opinion on the rising a few times anyway.

Also leaves aside the risk that an unforeseen scandal emerges in a dead duck parliament session post budget.

Given polling numbers, would have thought Eurostat approval, budget, election was their strategy.

[DeadParrot]

HU generates massive rake doesn't it? Weird.

maybe a slew of chip dumping scandals due to hit?

Not for how quickly people go busto. Genius moves for the longevity of the game imo.

[LuckyLloyd]

Busts an increasingly illiquid recreational player base. They have stats apparently that demonstrate if new players play HU in their first month after signup their retention rate is <15%.

[LuckyLloyd]

Also, have people here been following the banking enquiry? Some fascinating contributions and very interesting generally, but Cowen and Ahern stood up very well in their appearances. I had always assumed gross incompetence or impropriety, but becoming ever clearer that FF were merely guilty of being Irish politicians.

Think it's going to take a lot more than 1916 to resurrect FF

Next year is going to be so grim, especially considering it most likely a set back for the country.

[cardshark202]

They could have changed the HU system. Full tilt was a joke. 16 table limit, so you have like 300 empty tables, for every 3 active ones. Could have limited the number of tables per player, made it KOTH at each level, or something else. I mean that decision might be good for poker but it sucks for me. Didn't get much action there compared to other sites, but if other sites follow suit it would be terrible.
