I think the lions share of the responsibility for taking in refugees should fall on the countries who manufacture and drop bombs across the middle east and are directly responsible for this crisis.The daily mail whingers can take a hike

Slept from 1am till 5, which explains why there were no posts from 1 till 8.

Spent the night in hospital last night for the first time since I was born. Feeling a lot better now after being in a lot of pain Monday night and Tuesday morning. Getting an ultrasound soon to see if it's gallstones or just an infected gallbladder that might have to come out at some point. I was in A&E on a trolley until 1am although I did get seen to quickly once I presented with a gp referral. At least I got moved somewhere I could finally get some sleep.

You have serious doubts about Enda if he couldn't set up a committee to give him the precise outcome he wants at this stage in his career

I think he pretty much did get what he wanted, no?

The interim report of the Fennelly Commission has made wide-ranging criticism of senior Government figures but has cleared Taoiseach Enda Kenny of trying to force the resignation of former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.

FF and Sinn Fein/IRA's whinging about Edna laughable, can you imagine what they would be saying if he had sat back and done nothing when he found out what Callinan had been holding back

Trying to book a hotel in Vegas for next year for a week. looking at the Aria at the moment.

WTF is the $32 resort fee all about? is this in all hotels or just the MGM properties?!

[Tar.Aldarion]

how does this health insurance lark thing work?
If you get referred by a GP to the hospital it takes over a year to see the consultant, how do you make use of your insurance in this instance? Do you go to some random consultant privately?

Most hotels on the strip have a resort fee now. Pure rip off. After gutting and rebuilding some of the older properties, prices have gone way up generally from a few years back.

More or less yes.
You will still need to be referred by the GP to the consultant and depending on the setup in the place you see them you will either pay upfront and reclaim from vhi (Obv in this case you need to confirm that what you are doing is covered) or the clinic will charge vhi directly

Thanks! Rather confusing as the GP has no idea what kind of consultant to send me to and only the first consultant visit is free. (rest 50% off). he referred me to the mater and seemed to have no idea about health insurance, mother of god.

I thought we already settled that ready salted is the nut crisp flavour a few years ago

Lets broaden the chat out to savoury snacks in general.

My vote is for roasted and salted pistachios or macadamia nuts.

[oleras]

I need a lock changed on my front door. Basically the night latch broke and the one I got to replace it is bigger and I need to get a small piece of the back of the door chiseled out to make it fit. 10 minute job all told. Can anybody point me in the right direction. Rathgar area. TY.

Was eating some when I read this. (thumbs up). Something about the way they crunch.

I'm not a big crisp person but O'Donnells are the nuts.

The boars head on Capel st still brings out sauasages and onion rings for friday night pints. I am a big fan of that.

the stronger the salt and vinegar the better, tayto bistro one is quite good. So are tyrells.

Yeah saw a few threads re:nutri bullet in the other place, the feedback is pretty phenomenal. Pretty sure I wouldn't use it enough to justify it, mainly want something for sauces, marinades, soups etc and find the regular blender a pain in the hile.

[Tar.Aldarion]

Allrighty, only one I have used really is this and it was grand

I was at the last one.

My Sister works there and told me to head out.
Was more than happy.

Perfect for a new home / apartment.

It's just pallets of stuff "Half Price". Everything from sheets, furniture to crockery electrics etc.
If you shop in Arnotts you'll be happy enough. It's not cheap shite at all.
