So when Chelsea v ManYoo happened a few weeks back during the build up Dobby and myself got way too into it and made a bet for £1.
I called him a welcher, was to be expected. He is a Kerryman.
Obviously it was only #epicbantz but Dobby seems to have outdone himself. I was rudely awoken by the postman this morning. Turns out Dobby has proven we don't need post codes in Wicklow.

After scanning it for anthrax I opened it up.

Fair play Dobby! The address is class

Aaaaanddd Grexit...
The legislation, which was passed on Tuesday night, called for the rehiring of about 13,000 civil servants whose jobs were cut in an overhaul of the public administration agreed with bailout lenders. It also eliminated annual evaluations for civil servants and promotions based on merit.The government rejected claims by opposition lawmakers that the legislation violated the terms of Greece’s current €172bn bailout which requires the country’s government to agree economic measures with creditors before presenting them to parliament.
“We aren’t going to consult the institutions ... we don’t have to, we’re a sovereign state,” Nikos Voutsis, the powerful interior minister, told parliament.

No I'm genuinely undecided.
Neither promise is something that would fill my heart with Joy. The benefit the French have is scale. If we got tits up no one really gives a fuck. Witness Cyprus or the Ukraine for example. The French are probably over promising even more than our permanent government but I'm not sure how much that matters.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Also the symbol could inverted if people can't get past that spatial conundrum.
Or more likely it is this or the actual wheelchair symbol (U+267F)

What Jibbbzzz failed to mention was that he left a pair of Pokerstars headphones that are like Beats at reception for me as a thank you. Still mind those babies with my life.
Never met jibbzzz but would vouch for good eggness.

Once the game starts you can bet €50 on under(or over) 2.5 goals in the game, whichever you do not believe will come in.
Then you bet on the opposite u/o 2.5 on another site for €30.
If it comes on the other site you will get the 50 back on bet365 plus the profit from the €30 bet. If it loses you still make €10/20 from the 50 bet on bet365. Only small profits but just in case ya'll wanted a free €20.
I myself am going to be putting the 100 on a long shot .Go big or go homeless.

I see that the new Roy Anderson film is in the cinemas, I hope it is showing through to next week or I'll miss it.
Unlikely to be better than the last one but it is guaranteed to be more fun than anything that comes out of Hollywood this decade.

Oh! and the communist museum is great too.
Weirdly, they sell a lot of old communist propaganda, iconography and emblem-ed clothing.

>> Subject: White Rabbit, a lovely story - and funny !! A groan one.
>>
>>
>>
>> A rabbit walks into a pub and says to the barman, 'Can I have a
pint of beer, and a Ham and Cheese Toastie?
>>
>> The barman is amazed, but gives the rabbit a pint of beer and a ham
and cheese toastie.
>>
>> The rabbit drinks the beer and eats the toastie. He then leaves.
>>
>> The following night the rabbit returns and again asks for a pint of
beer, and a Ham and Cheese Toastie.
>>
>> The barman, now intrigued by the rabbit and the extra drinkers in
the pub, (because word gets round), gives the rabbit the pint and the
Toastie. The rabbit consumes them and leaves.
>>
>> The next night, the pub is packed.
>>
>> In walks the rabbit and says, 'A pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese
Toastie, please barman.'
>>
>> The crowd is hushed as the barman gives the rabbit his pint and
toastie, and then burst into applause as the rabbit wolfs them down.
>>
>> The next night there is standing room only in the pub. Coaches have
been laid on for the crowds of patrons attending. The barman is making
more money in one week than he did all last year
>>
>> In walks the rabbit and says, 'A pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese
Toastie, please barman,
>>
>> The barman says, 'I'm sorry rabbit, old mate, old mucker, but we are
right out of them Ham and Cheese Toasties...'
>>
>> The rabbit looks aghast.
>>
>> The crowd has quietened to almost a whisper, when the barman clears
his throat nervously and says, 'We do have a very nice Cheese and Onion
Toastie.'
>>
>> The rabbit looks him in the eye and says, 'Are you sure I will like
it?'
>>
>> The masses' bated breath is ear shatteringly silent.
>>
>> The barman, with a roguish smile says, 'Do you think that I would
let down one of my best friends. I know you'll love it.'
>>
>> 'Ok,' says the rabbit, 'I'll have a pint of beer and a Cheese and
Onion Toastie.'
>>
>> The pub erupts with glee as the rabbit quaffs the beer and guzzles
the toastie.
>>
>> He then waves to the crowd and leaves....
>>
>> NEVER TO RETURN!!!!!!
>>
>>
>>
>> One year later, in the now impoverished public house, the barman,
(who has only served 4 drinks tonight, 3 of which were his), calls
time. When he is cleaning down the now empty bar, he sees a small
white form, floating above the bar.
>>
>> The barman says, 'Who are you?',
>>
>> To which he is answered, 'I am the ghost of the rabbit that used to
frequent your public house.'
>>
>> The barman says, 'I remember you. You made me famous. You would come
in every night and have a pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie.
Masses came to see you and this place was famous.'
>>
>> The rabbit says, 'Yes I know.'
>>
>> The barman said, 'I remember, on your last night we didn't have any
Ham and Cheese Toasties. You had a Cheese and Onion one instead.'
>>
>> The rabbit said, 'Yes, you promised me that I would love it.
>>
>> The barman said, 'You never came back, what happened?'
>>
>> 'I DIED', said the rabbit.
>>
>> 'NO!' said the barman. 'What from?'
>>
>> After a short pause, the rabbit said...

So there once was this wasp that lived in a jungle. This was not your ordinary wasp though- he was smart, philosophical even. One day he finally got fed up with his repetitive, insignificant life and decided that he would leave his hive, his family, his entire close-knit wasp community and he would go out into the world and make something of himself, just like the humans do.
So the wasp enrolls in school, and passes with flying colors. Remember, this is a very smart wasp. He gets his high school diploma in a little under 3 years, with a 4.0 GPA. After high school, believe it or not, the wasp gets accepted to Harvard. This too proves to be no challenge for our hero, as he graduates in just two years, again a 4.0. Not to mention all the clubs and sports he was in- the newspaper, rowing, student government, and the fact that he was by far the most popular student on campus. Even his professors looked up to him.
He goes on to get two PhDs, and when he finishes his education, the wasp faces a bit of a dilemma. How does he apply his knowledge now? Where does he go from here? He decides to try out politics. After all, he was popular throughout school, did well in Harvard government. So he runs for mayor, and wins in a landslide. He greatly reforms the city, fixing virtually all its major problems. He runs for governor and again wins in a landslide. Two years later, the presidential election was coming up, and the wasp decides he might as well go for it.
Of course, he wins in the largest landslide in US presidential history. His presidency goes exceedingly well-he is loved by all parties, and has the highest approval ratings in history. He also finds the cures for cancer, AIDS, and broken hearts while in the White House. After 8 years (yes, of course he was reelected) the time has come for him to leave his office. Even his successor his saddened by the wasp’s departure, but they all know it’s what must be done.
Back at his vacation home in California his first day after leaving office, the wasp looks back on his long and fruitful life. He realizes that he hasn't been back to his hive at all since that first day he left. He suddenly feels a twang of guilt as he realizes how much he misses his parents and his little brother. So he heads back to the hive, looking more worn out than he remembers. He goes inside and greets his family, who are overjoyed at the sight of him. He talks about how his life has gone as his family listens in wonderment. Eventually he decides he is thirsty, so he decides to visit the old watering hole he remembered.
Once he gets there though, there’s an extremely long line. He decides it’s worth the wait, so gets in line. One hour. Two hours. This is the slowest moving line he’s ever seen! Eventually he calculates that it could be a few days before he gets to the front of the line, so decides it’s not worth it. He decides to go get some cider to drink instead, but there's another huge line of people waiting for cider! He remembers one other drinking area that never had a long line- fruit punch! So he decides to go get punch. He arrives, and lo and behold, there's no punch line.
