Looks like the Irish governments minimum price per unit of alcohol plan has been swept into the slop tray by the EU, after this ruling on the similar Scottish plan.

Nicola Sturgeon’s plan to fix a minimum price for alcohol has suffered a huge blow after the European court’s top lawyer ruled it would risk infringing EU law on free trade.

In a formal opinion on Sturgeon’s flagship policy, the advocate general to the European court of justice, Yves Bot, has said fixing a legal price for all alcoholic drinks could only be justified to protect public health if no other mechanism, such as tax increases, could be found.

The ECJ said Bot was “of the opinion that such a system risks infringing the principle of the free movement of goods and would only be legal if it could be shown that no other mechanism was capable of achieving the desired result of protecting public health.

I'd say HR would have a hard time maintaining a straight face if you complained that your colleague had the sniffles. But keep fighting the weird fight sickpuppy.

You would be surprised about what sort of crap HR have to deal with and I would say this isn't the weirdest or most petty.

A friend here asked a colleague for a loan of a score on the day before payday and she reported him to HR. He was called up and admonished. LOL.

horrible stuff. Ok he shouldn't really be asking for a loan but it was small money and all she had to do was say GTFO. I asked him numerous times to tell me who it was but he wouldn't reveal. Have my suspicions of course

If I was reported every time I needed a dig out I'd be camped outside the door of HR

The ruling, handed down by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman on Thursday morning, nullified the four-game suspension levied against the Patriots quarterback back on May 11 when Ted Wells, an independent investigator hired by the NFL, asserted Brady's connection to deflated footballs used in the AFC Championship Game this past season.

So I can only assume you are not going to join myself and PSV58 on the bandwagon for the world cup (assuming Ireland are doing well) and then immediately onto the hype train for McGregor?

Also can anyone tell me how many goals you get for scoring a try in "rugger"?

[CHDad]

5 goals m8. 2 goals for a point after a 5 goal try and 3 goals for an over from a penalty or dropkick.

So many annoying work place cunce. Luckily i dont have to work closely with any of them but early morning shavers have to be on the lower echelon. They get some morbid thrill of shaving on company time, yipee good for you you cheap cunce.
Also people letting doors go in your face when they know you are behind them are the worst of the worst. They only need to keep a trailing hand on the door but no they are above a common courtesy.
Next person that does that im going to boot the door into the hinge to frighten the shit out of them.
People pissing over a downed toilet seat are the worst mongrels of the lot.

Agree on all.

Someone stole my yoghurt from the fridge yesterday. I left it in there at 8:55. Came back at 09:10 and it was gone. Peasantry of the highest order really.

Also, people walking past you with their heads down and not acknowledging you.

So used to this its second nature. The same people come in and meet you and act so warm and just an hour previous or after that they ghost by you on a corridor. How can someone walk around zombie like and not take in whats coming toward them. Beggars belief.
Im so desensitized to it now and this happened earlier today, although compelled to help i didnt give a car a push when i seen it was broken down and pushed by a single person because i know the driver isnt just an unlucky individual its because hes neglected looking after the maintenance of the car. Like they think they can just drive endlessly without any upkeep.
The same ilk that piss over a downed toilet seat.

I strongly agree. Pissing on a toilet seat takes a special kind of selfishness really. I saw a guy start a fight in a pub in Edinburgh because he went into a stall as someone was leaving and there was piss on the seat.

Justified and the bouncers laughed when they were told and let the guy who started the fight back in.

Genius idea IMO - they also have a great idea of product demand - so they don't over /under produce and can predict future sales very easily when looking for funding etc.

Haven't bought any in 10 or so years but get the odd free bit of Marseilles training stuff from work and the old jerseys I have do me fine for gym and 5 a side.

Think I'm with RDIII on this one. Team branded zip-up or polo or something is OK, but actual replica jersey not so much. Might extend the age bracket out to early 20s though.

I wore my Man Utd Jersey to over 35 training tonight, imagining I was Tony Martial, starting all over again. Mind you I did get it as a present (the aon one), out of date already. I would buy an Ireland soccer jersey if I hadn't got one for free from the fai. You have to wear a replica jersey to an international match, same as a Munster Jersey to Thomond park.

I had a dream years ago that I was playing for Utd at old Trafford under floodlights. Best dream ever, I scored two and one was a free kick into the Stretford end. I kid you not. The next day I scored two goals in a junior soccer game in irishtown stadium, no free kick though. nobody believed my dream.
