Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[Lazare]

Lazare, wait until the kid grows a bit. Easy to say you won't ever give a slap when they are babies. But kids can push you to the limits.

I honestly don't think my kids harbour any grudge for the odd slap.
I did parenting classes and you should not dish out punishment when really angry, but in reality as a parent you have to hold back. No need to knock them about. I think you will find more mammies slap and daddy is the good cop. Tough roll for the woman.

I honestly think I exercised the right amount of discipline and my kids will be good humans and something their partners in later life will appreciate!

I know for absolute certainty that I will never raise a hand to them, I do take after my Dad in that regard.

It's not for me, I feel it's not a requirement but I totally respect your approach too. You're quite obviously an excellent parent.

As Newton says, and is now the Google Scholar logo

"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

Good sources are the shoulders of giants in proper arguments.

TIL ad hominem is a dodgy argument criticism

Newton was quoting someone else when he said that. I think he was also having a dig at Robert Hooke when he wrote it as the quote traditionally refers to dwarves but I stand to be corrected on that.

There's nothing wrong with attacking sources of course, particularly in academic works, but it's still an ad hominem attack if you don't follow up the criticism of the source (or a perceived bias therein) with an appropriate critique of the argument itself.

Basically it's the difference between being dismissive of a position and being critical of it.

Pretty rough to have to pay £100k for opening on a Sunday !
The glut of sports happening on a Sunday makes law stupid here not allowing them to open imho.
Wondering if it comes outta Boyle Sports or the guy himself?

SPOILER

A County Armagh bookmaker has been fined £4,500 and ordered to pay back £100,000 for illegally opening his shop for Sunday betting.

Newry Crown Court was told that Benedict Gerard Boyle, 47, of Doyles Villas, Camlough, had been opening on Sundays for two and a half years.

During that time Boyle took bets worth an estimated £250,000.

Boyle pleaded guilty in March this year to three counts of illegal Sunday trading.

The offences occurred on dates between 29 February, 2010 and 18 November, 2012.

A prosecutor told the court that after police in Newry "received intelligence'' in October 2012 that Boyle was opening his Boyle Sports bookmakers shop in the Newry's Francis Street on Sundays, a number of plain-clothed police officers visited his premises on a Sunday and found they were open.

They were able to place bets and received betting slips back.

As a result, a search of the shop was carried out by uniformed officers.

"Police found a substantial amount of betting slips which showed that he had been operating on a Sunday over a period from February 29, 2010 to November 18, 2012," the prosecutor said.

He said police estimated that somewhere in the region of £250,000 of bets had been placed over this period.

Although Boyle pleaded guilty in March, the court was told that sentencing had been adjourned until Wednesday to resolve issues around a Proceeds of Crime application.

The prosecutor told a judge the prosecution were seeking a confiscation order for £100,000 which they say was Boyle's benefit from the illegal Sunday trading.

A defence QC said Boyle had no previous relevant record for such offences and said he had not come to police attention for further offences since these crimes came to light three years ago.

The judge fined Boyle £1,500 on each of the three offences and gave him six months to pay and agreed to make a Proceeds of Crime Order in the sum of £100,000.

Boyle was told by Judge Finnegan QC that he had until March 2016 to pay back the six figure sum which he said was the "benefit of his crimes''.

"If you don't pay it back in that time, there is a default period of two years in prison,'' added the judge.

Yeah i remember Lazare posting in recent summer seasons about his want to brain a vagrant in Stephens green just for throwing an empty plastic bottle on the grass. It wasnt the crime than enflamed him it was that his rebuke was laughed at and dissed. Which is what the kids will identify and exploit with a non whelping across the ear parent.

Best place to buy and sell shares for a complete noob?

Ha, I thought of doing that for family members I'd not idea what to get for xmas.
Here mam and dad have €200 worth of x shares instead of a aftershave, perfume that you'll never use and another pair of slippers for the pile.
I just think I'd be salty as fuck for not buying them for meself if they took off.
Which would mean it'd cost me €400

[AndyFatBastard]

'tis. A small bit more expensive (€15 a trade vs some of the cheaper international brokers), but a nice platform and you can call into their office to do all the endless paperwork. Internaxx in Luxembourg was an absolute bollix to open due to internetness and they include some sort of inactivity fee if you don't buy frequently. Don't think Davy has that inactivity fee.

Wait, I have to present myself at a physical shop and fill out actual paperwork?

anybody been to Lisbon? Is it ok for a long weekend? Or is there a little town nearby lisbon that would be better? If not there then where else?

Spent 3 weeks there recently. What are you looking for? Lisbon had some great places to eat and a good base to explore other places. Belem is a touristy town a quick train ride away. Sintra is a bit further away full of old palaces, parks and such. It's a really nice place. Cascais is also nice.

I'd have Lisbon near the bottom of the list of European cities I've visited (it smells, hard to get around, very disorganised...) but that food hall is nice. I haven't been but Cascais etc nearby are meant to be v nice

[Solskjaer]

Would you slap a dog ? Dunno how people can slap a child so.

1st thing stuck me about Lisbon was the fashion . A super model around every corner. Also the eiffel lift to the upper streets is interesting. Nice place to sit and dine el fresco and watch the girlies go by.

We have been quite fortunate the last 5 months travelling around. Krakow is probably bottom of the list for us. Lisbon is middle of the pack for me, the weather was great, prices very cheap and I could take the dog everywhere so he wasn't stuck in the apartment all day.

Very cool child by the sounds of it. I used to take my little sister shopping when she was about 10/12 as a great for birthdays Xmas etc and all she wanted was sports gear and John Cena WWE hoodies. She grew out of it and so will Mia but now she sounds like a really cool kid tbh. Making up her own style when the other girls probably wear the pink flowery dresses shite. Not odd by any means.

All laws that are based on religious reasoning alone are just stupid. Sure wasn't it only recently that shops are allowed to open there and sports events to happen in the North as well? Still an odd place. We have our share of stupid religious crap down here as well, but not as bad as up there thankfully.

What I spent today will be worn once over xmas , the best i can do on a sunday is river island ripped jeans and a chunky jumper, or hoody . ffs dunno what the neighbours think . but yeah maybe you are right in what you say , maybe its a good thing. her friend loves doing her nails and make up Mia just looks on in pure disgust . TBH kinda happy as Chanel was into the girlie stuff at that age.

Aye, indeed I find it strange to but the point is intent and the guy a props runs into on a pitch isn't a bystander.

The guy in the MMA cage isn't on the streets either. I was referring specifically to that "on the streets" hypothetical.

The "if you did that on the streets you'd be charged" argument is silly.

I think we'd have to agree to differ there. I can't see how you play the game without intending to injure the other guy more than you get injured. Thats the only way to win

Injuring your opponent isn't the only way to win. I think this is simply highlights your misconception, or unfamiliarity of the sport. To repeat what I said earlier.

I've had 30 or so submission matches, I've won maybe 10 of those by armbar. Which involves hyper-extending my opponent arm until he submits. My only goal is to make him submit, I have absolutely zero intentions of breaking any body's arm.

It's probably unintentional, but it's a little insulting to suggest that I'm either lying about, or unaware of, my intentions.

Its UFC as a heavily marketed spectator sport that allows the kind of thing that was posted yesterday within its rules makes me feel queasy.

I completely understand that view. My dad was the same at one point.
