This has beem some borefest of an election campaign so far.

Dying for someone to pull a John Prescott. My money's on Alan Kelly.

Booby Sands was a good lol.

Some craic in that constituency.

'Alan Kelly wanted to be treated like royalty'

Interview here - https://www.newstalk.com/listen_back...akfast_Part_4/
About a third of the way through he gets to speak, clearly in very good form. The 'debate' is just lads shouting at each other. Fairly gas.

Mattie McGrath backtracks on claims Alan 'Jelly' Kelly hid in his van

At one point Mr McGrath alleged the minister had to hide in his van in order to escape angry anti-water protesters in Cashel.
"You weren't allowed to canvas in Cashel last Sunday ... You had to go into my van for cover…" he began before being cut short by the minister.

"But if Alan 'Jelly' Kelly wants to ever come into my van, I'll put the refrigerator on. I've never seen a jelly bean like Alan Kelly," Mr McGrath said.

became

“He wasn’t in my van no. But a woman approached it and started banging on the window looking for Alan Kelly," he told independent.ie.

He's lost it. That sindo interview was cringe,something about Frank Underwood being his political idol or something. His seat is in danger isn't it. Shame it isn't like England where we get to watch candidates hearts break live on stage when it doesn't go their way

[Strewelpeter]

Spent more than 2 hours every day for the last week being driven in a hotel car, now on my way the airport I find out they all have WiFi
Fml
India is the first country I've been to in years where I wasn't able to get my own Day sim or a dongle. Pain in the arse

[Jibzzzz]

Great weekend of sports, took today off for the bed and to catch up on the internets. Wise choice.

[Lplated]

Loving the Charlie Flanagan condemnation of North Korea. Like, you'd imagine it would be the final influential push needed to convert Kim Jong to growing hippy flowers and spreading a Lennon/Yoko message of love to the world.

Love the idea that somewhere in N Korea there is someone who cares about the 'Irish' view on anything.

Looking forward to the day that hefty looking TV announcer they have reads something along the lines

"And today, our great leader, he who created metals with his own hands and ran more record beating marathons than anyone else in the world, has condemned the outspokenness of an illustrious Irish Minister who had the temerity to look down on our Great leaders wisdom ...' blah blah

[CHDad]

When will a war with N.Korea happen?

[Denny Crane]

so, eh, which one is it, so i can avoid making a tit of myself in class?

Misread you as 10m

When will a war with N.Korea happen?

Hopefully the South take them over before 2020.

[Lplated]

When will a war with N.Korea happen?

Well, the UN has got as far as the significant sanction of denying them the right to import luxury goods, so I'd expect something significant shortly.

Don't worry the Sick day police will be along any minute to give out if you took a duvet day.

[Tar.Aldarion]

When china are like, fuck you North Korea.

[shrapnel]

ah cool. think the contracts might be stated in $10m increments rather than a million, so probably that was the reason.

was reading the below on zerohedge. scary exposure tbh, although that really is worst case scenario.

SPOILER

Deutsche has a huge exposure to the derivatives market, and it’s impossible, and then we mean LITERALLY impossible for any government to bail out Deutsche Bank should things go terribly wrong. Keep in mind the exposure of Deutsche Bank to its derivatives portfolio is a stunning 55B EUR, which is almost 20 times (yes, twenty times) the GDP of Germany and roughly 5 times the GDP of the entire Eurozone! And to put things in perspective, the TOTAL government debt of the US government is less than 1/3rd of Deutsche Bank’s exposure.

you're right, that's way off. is there a calculation step we're missing?

Are they confusing trillions and billions in some Dr Evil way?
GDP of Germany must be comfortably over a trillion euro?

[shrapnel]

looks like it's correct

$1 Billion US = $1 MILLIARD German

Thus...

$1 Trillion US = $1 Billion German,

as

1000 Milliards German = 1 Billion German

can be looked up below

never heard of that tbh

Overdue a decent war. The time difference in Asia would make it decent viewing too.

I'm not a fan of that smartvote thing for various reasons. Deeply flawed.

A day of top notch Twitter bashing of Boyles led by Elbows sees the money hit my account.

Fair play to Coldplay as we got them to tweet their official setlist!

Zebo is clueless at FB but just about getting away with it.

And he's still sending Farmville requests

[elbows]

After a long battle with boylesports for the afternoon I am happy to say they finally paid out. Dice put the final nail in the coffin with the set list from coldplays Twitter page. With yellow at the top.

Ugh
Flight delayed going to take until 9 tomorrow night to get home . will be stuck for about 12 hours in Delhi airport.

Enjoyed that

[AndyFatBastard]

Is this the old million-million vs thousand-million problem?

[Strewelpeter]

Why would zero hedge use billion as anything other than one thousand million though?
Nearly as confusing as the Indians using lakh"s written as 1,00,000 as well as millions written 1,000,000

Only now with added Labor and Sinn Fein

With how much I have grown to hate people as a whole, I always find it funny that I wanted to be a teacher when I started college.

Still no reply about that job though, sitting on a computer alone entering data. Fuckers better call for an interview.

Hate bandwagoning cunts like you jumping on board when a world war or major regional conflict kicks off. There is some great little wars happening in Africa, Yemen is my favourite middle eastern skirmish right now and Pakistan has plenty to offer to discerning war conneisseurs. Its not all about ISIS,north Korea and US-Russia tensions

I think you will find you are the hipster with your Boutique, indie, fair trade wars tbh. ISIS, North Korea and US-Russia are the wars that Michael Bay directs films about.

Bit rich coming from you. Fair weather war fans who pretend they know it all. You're only following war since the big money came in and now war is full of little terrorists or as I like to call them, divers. That isn't war. I've been following war for 20+ years.

Sky News didn't invent war in 1989.

[davepoke/her]

Don't stop while you have boyles on the ropes, finish the useless cunts off. Can't believe people actually still use them, the worst of the lot by a fucking mile.

I agree strongly with his view on sick days.

However I chose to use a day from my holiday's as I knew I had 3 heavy days drinking. Might regret it towards the end of the year but right now I regret nothing.

fun and games whenever I played with him.

I got a good result on that whichcandidate.ie

No candidate matches your views. Ever considered running for election?

[NoRiverRequired]

Another lad got clipped in the inner city tonight, this could get messy

[Raoul Duke III]

I got a good result on that whichcandidate.ie

I got matched with the Renua lad. I love the idea of a flat tax but there's more chance of me being the next manager of Man U.

No DVD drive is not a big deal for me as I never use it anyhow.

Anything better at a similar price point? THe Toshiba above looks like a beast but the reviews aren't great that I've read.

Both seem to think Im a semi-hard core lefty. (assuming I understand the whole left-right thing properly)

Smart vote claims Im most closely aligned with SF.

Which candidate is PBP then SF.

I can pretty much guarantee neiter will be getting any portion of my vote!

[Denny Crane]

I must be an aberration so, got nearly my whole list of likely preferences in order.

Fianna Fáil 1 and 2. Feel a bit dirty right now.

[tylerdurden94]

For those of you with a OnePlus Two and thinking about making some changes I've just installed a new ROM on the phone after doing some research on it, from all accounts it's so far so good. It's running the alternate operating system called Hydrogen OS which is updated to Marshmallow, you can find the links HERE if you're in any way inclined to switch, your phone needs to be rooted & not 100% sure if you also need the bootloader unlocked.

[Kayroo]

When will a war with N.Korea happen?

Technically North Korea and the United States are currently at war

The Radeon has a slightly better GPU but it'll be irrelevant the difference tbh. More ram and bigger SSD would sway me towards the Toshiba. Also Dell now ship to Ireland from their outlet could be worth checking out if anything pops up there. The XPS is a lovely machine but expensive at full price

Met a guy who was doing some consultancy work for Renua and he said that Terrance Flanagan was a plank.

The laptopsdirect one will have a much better screen as it's an IPS, you can view it from any angle and see what is on the screen, not have to look at it head on.

The rest of the specs are moot as you won't need them. Can i have it?
