Where's he gone?

Unfortunately, all joking aside. I'd imagine the BBV has had a death or two since it was started up in the old place.

Had a major *RAGE* moment earlier when I went to buy my old fellow a voucher for some hotel he wants for xmas. Website has no option to purchase printable voucher, asks for five fucking quid to send it via An Post.

Immediately had rage compounded when I tried to buy a Ryanair gift card for someone straight after only to have their website tell me the name on the gift card must exactly match the name on the recipient's passport.

My soon to be two year old son is with Daddy for two whole days whilst his mudder
is off workavanting. Can be difficult at times to get him off to sleep. So, I'm grateful to Louis Van Gall in this instance. Sit the wee man on me lap, turn on the United game and we'll both be asleep in seconds. Thank you Louis for helping me catch up on hours of sofa sleep these past few weeks. The kid usually shouts 'goal' when any sport comes on but he stays silent when United are on. Luckily he hasn't quite copied the, 'knock it forward for fucks sake' comments I tend to use during the torture.

Roughly (ball park). How long did you actually work with Strewelpeter.?

[Keane]

You don't know your dads name?!

The Ryanair voucher is for someone else. For two people to split actually which makes the whole thing even more tilting as this means you actually have to buy two separate vouchers in what was meant to be a communal gift.

And that's not the point anyway, the point is there's no reason why the gift card name has to match any fucking thing. It's just a scam giving people a way to fuck up so they can wangle out of honouring the gift later.

The gift card should basically be a code they send me on a nice piece of paper to give to someone else to apply at the checkout when they are making a purchase. You know, like every other gift card in the world (except the ones they only send out by an post for 20x the cost of a stamp).

very common in Kerry.

[Strewelpeter]

I see that after Private Eye's interesting piece in the current issue on the dozens of murders that Gerry Adams personally authorised on the word of Freddie and the Nutting Squad interest in the subject is finally starting to get a bit of traction.

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/stakeknife-may-have-murdered-50-agents-in-ni-court-told-1.2458668

No good guys on either side, from what little sense I can make of it, the murderous cynicism of British Intelligence makes Adams and his army council buddies look like a bunch of gormless fools playing at real mens games. Between all sides they managed to get an awful lot of relatively innocent freedom fighters buried in the bog. Which could be seen by some as a not wholly bad thing.

In fairness as mass murderers with an ability for surviving long past their sell by dates go, Scappaticci puts Grizzly Adams in the ha'penny place

[Keane]

I'd rather be common in Kerry than common in Dublin any day of the week.

There is no worse present than a gift voucher tied to any business.

If you have to give a voucher make it a book token or a one for all.

I used to hear this all the time in Coppers . It's kind of heartbreaking poor craters

[tylerdurden94]

That's ridiculous, no way they should already have charged your card for something not on its way to you. I'd cancel the order on general principal, even if it ended up costing more to get the same item somewhere else.

Was it a different model to this one that's still in stock? Stupid question I know, but I am confused http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-13-4...samsung&image=

When they rang they asked did I want to cancel the order but the deal was too good to pass up on. That's not the TV it's pretty much the same bar a few different specs, was reduced to €550 from 700-800.

If anyone thought I was asking for advice on what presents to buy kindly reassess.

Need to look at pictures of the Maldives to calm down.

Actually also got news that the company are giving us all extra days off from January 1st, amounts to 3 per year for me which is a nice touch.

I quite like getting restaurant vouchers. Good excuse to go somewhere I haven't tried rather than just sticking to the same old places.

I am getting my sister a voucher for her favourite hair dressers in Dublin. She moved back to Sligo and doesn't get out enough so really am just going to make her take a weekend off and come to Dublin, go for dinner and will see what concerts are on.

I presume the reason Keane was giving the hotel voucher was because he wants his Dad to head off and have a nice weekend away but knows he wont organise it himself.

A well chosen voucher is a good present but a generic buy yourself something from this one shop is pretty crap. Also a book token - lol

to be honest, i'd much rather an amazon voucher than 75% of the presents i get.

A gift voucher for a hotel does seem mad, the closure/liquidation rate in a year must be touching 5%. Even a change of ownership can fuck you.

[V for Vendetta]

Why do dishwashers machines feel a need to so annoyingly announce they are finished washing your dishes? Every time with that persistent beeping at the end that continues if you don't open the door. As if everyone in the house is waiting breathlessly for the washing cycle to finish. Just wash the fcking dishes and shut up about it.

Clearly a feature added to appease the nagging wives so they know when to commence the nagging. The sooner I train the child to empty the dishwasher the better!

[6starpool]

Not me I love getting socks since I never think of going to buy my own.

Every so often I just bin all my socks and buy 20 new identical pairs, so I hate anyone buying me socks as I know I'll never wear them. I have a supply of white socks as well for runners and shorts wear, but that's a different category entirely although it does bug me that I have to make an effort to pair them.

[Strewelpeter]

I liquidated a retail shop in the eighties that was turning over about £2M per year. I can't remember the exact numbers but there was a shocking liability in unredeemed vouchers ... maybe about 100K. I remember the liquidator telling me that almost noone came to him looking to redeem them, not that they would have got anything anyway.

Buying dedicated vouchers is exactly the same as giving your money to the retailer and allowing them to put whatever terms and conditions they want to on it. If you want to buy someone a holiday or a meal buy them a fucking holiday or a meal, don't pay some random retailer in advance and let them own the value.
Surprised at a cute kerry hoor like Keane being so dumb with money

You can buy 5 pairs for €3 in tesco now and they are perfectly fine socks. When I'm travelling I just leave them behind me rather than pay n times the price of the socks to have them cleaned.

Water protester mongs blocking roads in town, police should get the water cannons out for the laugh. If they put half as much effort into finding work as blocking others from getting home from work I'm sure their perspective on things would change a bit.

Diving is great in the Maldives. A tip on choosing the island is to make sure it has a house reef which means you can just walk out the shore and dive when you want rather than relying on boat times. Also mean snorkelling is really good.

Water cabins are not great if your a light sleeper as if the waves pick up the noise can interrupt your sleep.

LOL they changed the article title. The old, misleading one is still in the URL. You'd think Harvard of all organisations would be better at making accurate press-releases and papers that are hard to pick holes in. You'd certainly think they would give a shit about silly things like data quality:

Methods: We selected 51 types of flavored e-cigarettes sold by leading e-cigarette brands and flavors we deemed were appealing to youth.

Read: We cherry-picked our samples to guarantee the best possible results. There are literally thousands of manufactures and thousands of flavours of eCig. But there's absolutely no need to mention that in the paper or the press release, is there?

Acetoin is not currently known to be toxic in any form, but don't let that stop you, lads. It's similar to Diacetyl therefore it must be toxic, why else would we include it in our tests?

Meanwhile the eCig community has known about Diacetyl for >5 years now and the vast majority of manufacturers no longer use it for flavouring. It is of course worrying that some manufacturers are still using it despite the concerns, but let's not get carried away here.

Preparing for my interview with SFI on Thursday and this morning the government announce a new science funding strategy that addresses all of the points I was going to bring up. Basically left with nothing to say now!

I haven't read it yet. Is it worth reading (in particular in the context of the current capital grant).

I remember when I was renting and my married friends used to go on about emptying the dishwasher. I was thinking "ye lazy, posh cunce, giving out about emptying the dishwasher and I having to do them all by hand". Now I feel their pain.
