condolences

Some BBV help required -

1 week trip from Dublin at the start of June? Where should I consider? Will have a canadian with me.

Shortlist right now -

Barcelona
Dubrovnik
Lisbon

But I am open to any and all suggestions.

Wouldn't spend a week in Dunbrovnik, 3 or 4 nights max but could add Sarajevo or somewhere for a few days. Wouldn't bother with Split.
Haven't been to Lisbon but Eiriceras half an hour away is a great little seaside town for a few days.
Barca is awesome. Could def do a week there.
Just back from Bratislava/Vienna/Budapest week away and would highly recommend Budapest for a trip. In summer with outdoor bars and restaurants it would be brilliant.

I was trying to console my fiance and this is the best I could come up with;

2 seconds earlier or later and he would have been fine

there's a 1 mile stretch of road and the tree thats on it is the only tree on that stretch for that 1 mile

when your number is called thats just it your time is up and there's nothing anyone can do about it

I offered to go identify the body caus apparently he was pretty banged up and i am somewhat used to that kinda stuff but the bro who came with me is scarred for life

really sorry just a bit of drunk venting - the interwebs is there when you wanna protect the real life peeps

[Bubbleking]

anyway I better go to bed I know as much as anyone that drunk + interwebs do not mix

Ill leave you with this

I had an unbelivably stupid thing happen with the car yesterday, a few bruises and a couple of grands damage. There I was this morning feeling a bit sorry for myself despite already being aware that there was only seconds and circumstances between nothing happening and something much worse.

Now its only an overwhelming sense of good fortune and a visceral anger at the ridiculous shit that we continue to allow go on on the roads.

[ComradeCollie]

Is there not an incredible lack of policing on our roads? Just today had a bit of a laugh at a guy being pulled for speeding, as he was overtaking me on the N11. Such a rare occurrence though, must be 5 years ago since I last seen it.

Your best bet is just to not attempt to offer any explanation or what if's, just be there as much as you can, but say as little as you need to. Offer comfort and a shoulder. While you are probably in bits as well understandably, focus on her for the few days.

do you need expiry date?

[mugsy]

got annoyed and tried send email to these fucks http://www.10international.com/contact/
didnt send so i will moan here since i bothered. not too bothered anymore.

Hello

I am emailing you to disclose my annoyance at the difficulty to open the screw cap wine bottle of your imported Luis Felipe Edwards. This is not the first time the cap has been sealed too tight to open by hand and this is not a case of extra hand muscle. Im perfectly capable of opening a screw cap but with this wine I have had to go through a process of cutting around the cap with a knife and still needs to be extra force required to again dislodge the cap.

There is a flaw in the bottling process used by your suppliers and until im happy that this is fixed i will not be purchasing anymore Luis Felipe Edwards even though i am a fan of the wine within it has become too much hassel to open. So I would advise you contact the bottlers in Chile and ask them to examine their bottling process.

Regards

[ArmaniJeans]

Did you contact the whine department?

[mugsy]

Did you contact the whine department?

dry cleaning for the spillage.
potential cuts using a knife.
i hope the get sued and my email could have saved them if they had one who worked.

its bang average wine anyway i only said i liked it being polite.

sure i will get onto to the chileans next time. they are the culprits. ......me no speak english

I can't imagine how hard this is on you and I don't want to be a preach.

Should probably take it easy on the beers, your misses dosnt need you getting/showing how angry you are and needs the support at the moment. As close as you were it is her brother and it will be even worse for her, raw male aggression won't help.

I am bad for reaching for a bottle when the stress hits like every Celtic blooded man but clear head is needed to take care of those around you. The last thing you will want is to deal with this and a thumping hangover.

Take care of yourself and your fiancé and her family for now, justice will find him in the future. Easy to say but in a somewhat similar circumstance I was given and ignored the same advice as I lacked perspective.

Brave to step up for the id and her family will appreciate that massively. You will be needed immensely over the coming days but I have no doubt despite only knowing you through online posts that you will rise to the task.

Condolences to you and all concerned.

Richie

cheers lads much appreciated - as always the proper thing to do and what i feel like doing are at odds with one another.

i know nostalgia is heroin for old people but remember back in the day the DCU lads would head down to DIT for the life or death €10 freeze out - id say a good lot of lads from this forum were there

even then it was clear PL was a fish and tereas was only there for the sesh

No flies on you Tony! Some craic. I remember playing cash games with chubs, the scuab, fat mark from the shop in UCD student hall.

Whatever happened to The Scuab?

Why do poker people idolise that silly cunt? He's already freerolling life on heart attacks. He lives like an absolute prick on daddys money. He'll be dead soon, meh.

Takes a pic of a gun with a mot daddys money paid for and he gets thousands of hits across social media. When he dies only nerds on 2+2 will remember him.

Listen to his visit on Joe Rogan, a fake bullshitting liar.

Don't worry about that silly man ...because thinking about him and people like him will only be depressing!

I'm not worried.

I will smile when he dies though.

Lost my (future) brother in law to the roads this week

On his way to coach under 16 GAA he was hit head on by a speeding drunk driver who fled the scene.

He is survived by a beautiful wife 2 children and one on the way (wife 7 months pregnant)

Just venting here as the sadness turns to anger

RIP

Oh no..how could that drunk driver be so selfish. I would imagine he could not hold a candle to the person your brother in law was.

I am so sorry for you all. It's so sad.

I think Richie M shared some excellent wisdom.

Turn to other people for support. It feels better than turning to anything else.

[Lao Lao]

We still have one in work. It is used almost exclusively to communicate with Customs.

Everything we send them via fax could be sent via email which would be more efficient, productive and have a cost saving for both parties.

They point blank refuse to allow us to send via email.

Civil service, you just can't beat it...

Is it just a dirty weekend stretched out for a week? Or what does she like to do?

Dubrovnik is a tough slog for a week, we stayed in an airbnb out of town before so it was a 30 minute walk into the city centre, before that we had come from a place called Trogir which was a small island halfway up the coast before hand, we loved this as were able to see and do lots of different things, pics are on fb.

I work in lisbon and live close to the Ericeira surf beach Nuckchorris mentioned. We loved the city when we were here two years ago. lots of history and things to do from the city centre, beaches, Sintra national park and surfing out by where I am.

I'm currently in seville sitting on a roof top terrace eating iberian ham and fresh bread so slighlty biased but seville has been a wonderful city so far. The food and drinks have been great everywhere we have gone and much more reasonabnly priced than Barcelona.

[Raoul Duke III]

My sympathies Tony, that is truly horrifying.

Just back from a lovely funeral experience for my Scottish aunt (she wrote her own euolgy, died peacefully at a good age) so can't imagine how different your experience is\will be.

Focus on the family, be the strong shoulder.

What do they do if there's a draw in that case? Some version of a penalty shootout?

Should have clarified, replay only after the extra time, as opposed to the current situation where the replay kicks in after full time.

I like it but it'll really emphasize how biased the provincial system is against Leinster and Ulster. 6 county Munster and Connacht will be guaranteed 1 slot and a 50/50 shot at another slot in what will be a hopefully lucrative Super 8 section. 11 county Leinster and 9 county Ulster get just the same.
I dream of 4 regions of ~8.

Dublin might finally get a bit of favourable treatment having got the presidency for the first time in nearly a century.

[Guest]

Why the hell don't the GAA just follow the American model? Ditch the league and have 4 groups of 8 or however many counties play each sport and have them play home and away against everyone. Top 2 from each group go into the playoffs.
It seems like the current proposal is knockout games followed by a group followed by knockout games? Ridic.

How far along is rugby in Spain? You can hear the horror in rugby journalists voices when the idea of six nations promotion/relegation comes up and the idea of trading a trip to Rome for a trip to Georgia is discussed.im sure a trip to Madrid/Seville would be more up their street

It's a step, hopefully if it's a success bye bye provinces. A championship where big meaningful games happen in provincial towns and dubs go on the road will generate a lot of the buzz.look at the crowds coming out to leaguer games this year in comparison to lopsided shite in the summer.and that's all while the game itself is barely watchable muck imagine if they actually made some positive rule changes

[horatio1]

Have they changed any of the actual playing rules? Someone was posting recently about how GAA football has become unwatchable, unlike rugby which frequently changes the rules of play to improve the game as a watching sport.

The big change for this year is the introduction of a mark for a clean catch, supposed to encourage more long kickouts. I cant see it having any big effect in the modern game where possession is king.

The problem with any changes to counteract short kickouts and overuse of the handpass is that it would have to be implemented across all grades and ages. Some suggestions of limiting the number of consecutive hand passes or setting a distance a kick out has to travel could be farcical at lower levels with just one referee of dubious standard.

The black card will probably go when it comes up for review. While it has had some success in cutting out cynicism early in a game, late on any player will take one for the team when a sub can come on and there is no suspension for the next game.

I think if there was a 14 yard free awarded for any foul in the last ten mins it would cut a lot of cynical fouling out straight away. Would love to see it trialled but unlikely to happen.
