Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

Excellent, thanks!

The major dip in races in 2001 is probably the foot and mouth outbreak, just in case you think your figures are borked for that year.
If you are looking for betting systems of some sort that may be worth taking into account (e,g., there was reduced racing in Spring that year which might skew first time out winner and repeat winner figures, Irish horses couldn't travel to the UK at all etc).
PM me if you find the elixir of betting.

'enemy of the people' now

this farce will be done pretty quick now
]

How does it end?
Impeachment will be messy and prolonged. Cia or military putting a bullet in him would be too obvious, I suppose a heart attack or the likes wouldn't be beyond them. But unless he wants out it would be unworkable for him to be alive and fighting with a republican administration that had turfed him out.

[SatNav]

yeah has a low rating but just watched first ep and thought it was brill

give the first one a shot, female acting a bit dodge but over all great!

I loved the movie

ok watched ep 2 , different story line kinda dropped in my ratings but deffo leading to something lol

Things I learned from day on the rip. Generator hostel is a fine pre-gig venue for a bit of nosebag and pints. Girl band are fecking awesome, green spot and glass of Guinness is drink of champions.

What would be an out of the box solution for someone (older folk, inlaws) who need basic telly, have internets. Point and click.

sky latest offer basic tv 20 quid a month , whole contract . cant go wrong

Yea that's good, but free is better. Anyone know a simple box to play some basic channels via broadband?

Can't see where all the plaudits for Manchester by the Sea are coming from. Is Casey Affleck even capable of playing anyone other than an awkward, beset upon average Joe?

6/10

I thought it was great. Excruciating but great.

Looks awful. Perhaps if there had been no movie to compare it, it would be passable.

Reckon Trump will walk away from job with some elaborate lie within 2 years. Feel free to quote this later.

[Raoul Duke III]

Given that you love asking others for odds and so on, if you had to set a line for when 'this farce will be done' what date would you set as an over/under point? I've no interest in having a bet on it though. I think it'll be much longer than 'pretty quick' but who knows I guess.

It depends on the variables.

If a media organisation gets their hands on his tax returns (and these show something awful, such as that he's being bankrolled by Russian oligarchs). Or that incontrovertible proof emerges of Russian hacking \sabotage in the election - and that Trump knew about it.

If these game changer type events don't happen, then it might be more of a slow-motion car crash.

Here's PP'smarket.

Had a sale today , will go down as one of my favs . was great crack :

Fact. Was deffo a moment you would have to have been here. The post doesn't do it justice.

I thought it was a funny post, your style of writing it in particular. Read like you were saying it rather than typing it.

My take from was it that a bunch of new guards splashing out on an all the trimmings sky package kind of conflicts with the sleeping in their cars eating cornflakes boxes for breakfast narrative we were bombarded with during the angling for a pay rise recently. What's a maxed out sky package €120 a month?
Know someone who got offered a place during recent recruitment drive but turned it down based on the glut of misery articles like that. He was a bit sickened when it came out afterwards just how cushy they do have it wrt to pensions etc

Ah there's a big difference between renting in Dublin and 4 lads renting a house in Portlaoise. Not to mention the cost of living.

As for someone making a decision based on Indo misery articles versus doing their own due diligence well my sympathies are pretty low.

Yes this was shocking. There was a shooting last may or something? Very sad. Shudders

The staff must have been terrified to go back to work there.

I imagine it persuaded people to stay away, rightfully so.

Been struggling to get the little one to eat her lunch in school.
Eventually she confessed that she has been trading the coco pops bars which most of the other kids don't get for other things she liked and had a different customer each day!

She is going to go far

She is so cute.

5 euro spaghetti bolognese and 50 euro wine for dinner tonight. Think 50 bucks is the wine sweet spot of value for money (in Ireland anyway). So damn good.

Ah it's very good. After weeks of Chateau Mezain from Tesco and Chateauneufs from Lidl since Christmas it's nice to go the extra mile. 2005 seems to be the nut year so if you have some of that I'll be right down.
In the process of selling up a side-business and considering using some of the proceeds on a once in a lifetime wine purchase. Considering a Lafite from the year I was born to drink on my 40th.

Went for grub in the restaurant adjacant Centra here at the Regency. Decided to have a couple of glasses of red with the steak. Ohhh we have s lovely Portugese house red. Fecker neglected to mention it was €11 a glass! Place is hardly The Ritz with one unisex disabled jacks

this is what is sitting in my drink shelf at the moment and would be a fair reflection of my usual purchases.
Am I missing out on much?

How much to book Patrick Guilbaud's for a night (the full restaurant) would you reckon? I've been invited to a thing and they've booked the whole place on a Thursday night and my curiosity is peaked.

[V for Vendetta]

Munster big and large balls

I thought they were poor enough. Tyler wasn't great as captain and both halfbacks didn't hit the mark for me. They started poorly and made heavy work of a badly fading ospreys team and I didn't think too many put their hands up for Ireland or being champions cup starters when the internationals come back. Ref was disappointing too in fairness.

[Raoul Duke III]

Zero I'd imagine.

Maybe a guarantee to pay for no-shows but why do you think there would be a charge over and beyond food\drinks?

Sorry that's what I meant. How much for a full restaurant of folk having a tasting menu and drink in Guilbaud's?

[Guest]

Just found my bill from there today and it says 600 for 2. Must be at least 60-70 seats so 20k min I'd say.

[Raoul Duke III]

Sorry that's what I meant. How much for a full restaurant of folk having a tasting menu and drink in Guilbaud's?

Go count the number of seats and multiply by €250?

[Guest]

@DP obviously any wine is better than no wine but buy a bottle of what I put up earlier, or chateau lagrange or chateau leoville barton and see for yourself. 50-60 each on average.

The quality of the games has fallen all day. Game of the weekend was Leinster with two scrum halves, two hookers and three 2nd rows playing. Too many sub standard guys hanging around in the provincial panels when you get down to the 2nd and 3rd tier.

I fancy Ulster to sneak into the top 4.

Munster, Leinster, ospreys, Ulster, Scarlets, Glasgow are my top 6. Munster v Leinster final.

[Trippie]

I've been to Toulouse twice in the last year - pretty bourgeois and found it hard to find the craic.

As one of my drinking partners so eloquently expressed it when we entered about our tenth quiet, polite establishment of the night:

"where the fuck is the fucking funk man?"

But yeah, probably nice enough for a w\e with non-deviants. From memory, Dordogne region is lovely. Great food\wine.

And you have a step-daughter who by the sounds of it is an adult. How did that happen?

I actually have 6 step grandkids and one side call me Pop Pop G and the other Grandpa Gordon. The wife had a child very young, she is older as well so children from previous marriage. This stepdaughter has known me for 7 years now I guess. She is the president the sorority at university of Oklahoma and I can go to the dad's weekend. Cliffs: Madness Ted.

TRIP TO WATERFORD ... for Cheltenham Festival

Provisionally booked accomodation some weeks ago when the prospect of some guys heading to Kilkenny for drinks/food/bets/more drink was being considered.

I obviously recommend WATERFORD CITY and am happy to put a schedule of events / restaurants / activities in place if the trip is still going ahead.

Padraig Parkinson / Nicky Power will endorse the city as a great location having hosted a number of Denmark players some time ago.

If anyone is interested ... GREAT, If not, no problem.
