+1 for Port House/Pintxo's - eat there regularly and always enjoy it, although the whole sitting out the back smoking boxes of fags and drinking gallons of wine probably won't appeal so much to Jamesie.

Choosing to concentrate on the rubber ducks rather than Teddy, not recognising that these are reasonably normal ravings for your average batshit crazy mass murderer. But most of all the perpetuating the old SinnFein IRA side of the mouth line that he ordered Jean McConville's execution and disposal because he believed she was passing sensitive information to the British Army. By now only the most deluded Sinn Fein / IRA supporter doesn't acknowledge that Adams needed to terrorise the residents into not accepting the presence of the Army as normality and it was precisely because she knew nothing and had no one 'connected' such that no one beyond her unfortunate children would really care that Adams personally selected her to make a brutal example of.

Spotify is only as good as you make it. You have to either make your own playlists or seek out good user ones that you like.
The basic idea of adding as much as you can yourself then taking suggestions and using the radio button works well enough.
The client software on android is shit.Turning millions into thousands

Also thought they rushed through the previous 500 years with undue haste, though it was nice to see John Devoy's crucial role being put in the spotlight for once.Turning millions into thousands

Agree with rounders that you wouldn't want to go somewhere like Havana, no matter how good it is, as it feels like you are in a takeaway.

Connacht a big price away to Dragons at 6-5 tonight, Dragons had a tough 80 mins in Belfast last weekend whereas Connacht had a week off. Dillane and Marmion released from Ireland camp are part of a very strong bench that should be able to make a big impact against a tiring team in the second half.

Personally think Adam's Twitter account is his version of spinning the ball on his finger. If you think about where he was when he signed up, and where he was 30 / 40 year's earlier it's a remarkable political and personal victory. I think this centenary election is his last. I guess he'll step down next year and retire in 2021. In power in the North, potentially knocking on the door of largest opposition party in the South. GFA achieved with its release of prisoners / new police force / power sharing / etc. And he managed to not get killed. Job done.
I believe the Twitter stuff is his version of a fist pump."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

You would also have an entitlement to a pension and 1.5 times salary retirement payoff which social welfare person wouldn't have.
But other than that, your positions aren't that dis-similar. Now, who said we don't live in an 'equal' society.

Flat tax...yes please!

I'm voting from the bottom up in this election. I'd dearly like to vote for a party with a lower tax / smaller government approach but the option doesn't seem to be available. So for me it has become a matter of selecting the candidate I most don't want to be elected and following that approach through the remainder in order
It's the first election I can recall where I've felt my views are completely unaligned with any of the main political parties.

I am not saying its right but it what the vast majority of people face or worse. So relatively speaking it isn't close to struggling. Struggling is when you aren't sure where your next meal is coming from not in this case where he wasn't sure where is next night out on town was coming from.
