There is eggs, veg and sauces in there. The owner isn't even doing it justice.

Can imagine this being used solely for shoes in some houses so I like that the majority is booze, sometimes you need some snacks!

It's like one of those 'ink splot' Freudian tests, measures the extent of your alchoholism.

If first thing you spot are the eggs or other food, you're ok. If you see the wine, you're borderline. If you drool over the quantity of wine then you get free pass to AA.

* Test has now been adapted for what is widely called the SATNAV effect - if you see the wine and wonder how much Cola you'll need to finish it off, you also get a free pass to AA.

there's a feria (big party)at the beginning of the summer in south west france in Bayonne where basicallly all you drink is wine and coke. the drink is called a calimocho. You only drink it once a year cause it tastes of piss, but it's one hell of a party!

I think they could have done a better job of the documentary, but it's still worth watching for the sheer brilliance of his mucic. Another of those geniuses/virtuosos who left too early. At least he left a sound which is still all around us, and resonates deeply.

There's surely a lot of people in achievable reach of €100k though (€70k+) and they'll vote the same way as those on €100k+. But I might be living in a bubble. Have no idea how people live in Dublin on the supposed average household income of about €45k.

Had a basic income of €75k there and take home after pension, pension levy, VHI, etc was €3,600. (Presume its a fair whack more takehome in private sector). €1,100 of which went to creche, €1,400 on renting a basic apartment, leaving a grand for the month. Had other earnings too so it wasn't too bad, but if you're struggling on €75k, I can't see how €100k is easy streets fatcatland.

That is rich mans struggling, i think there are very few people who are not like that. I had <500 to spend on bills/food/everything but rent (no pension or health insurance and rent was a fraction of yours) and to look after myself and another person when I started working, and I still wouldn't call my self struggling compared to a lot of people I know. Some going round your university looking for change on the ground, so they could eat something. It's all relative. Not everybody was grooming a russian to make loads of money either yeah you were struggling, it would just irk some people who have hard it much harder (most people) when people say that.

Thoughts on Red Wine mixed with Coke ( cola obv)
I hate Red wine but a friend recommended mixing with coke, so rooting around a found a Red , saw ingredients on back and spot cherries , I love cherries so got cherry coke . Its fucking awesome . Kinda hoping to get 2 nights out of one bottle of red.

http://www.pastemagazine.com/article...coke-toge.html

Whenever I get a red wine I don't like I mix it with coke to save it, or make it into mulled wine. It's pretty damn nice with coke.

First time I had buckfast I think I was 16 at slane, 2 litre bottle of coke mixed with a bottle of buckfast. That was a good day.

Ireland squad tomorrow:

Leinster 13
Ulster 3
Connacht 2
Munster 5

these numbers are not good for development and the IRFU needs to get its head out their collective arses. The fact that Munster, who desperately need a decent out-half, did not get Madigan is a joke. If we ever have aspirations to be a northern NZ, we need to start acting like them.

We will stuff les bleus tomorrow anyway but sure what's new there?

Munster would be 7 if Earls and Zebo didn't get injured (Kearney and McFadden would drop out - (-2 Leinster))

Ulster will be ~ 7/8 by this time next year with Henderson, Henry, Jackson, Olding, McCloskey, Marshall, Bowe all likely to be involved or there thereabouts.

Madigan is grand, certainly better than Keatley, but IRFU couldn't match what he was offered, couldn't get near it!

Peoples ideas on struggling are funny, try spending a month in my shoes and you'll see real struggling Hitch

I know people on €200k+ a year and they have nothing put aside, and I know people who have never earned more than €45k a year and they have plenty to live on and save. It's all about expectations and trade offs imo.

Your situation (Hitch) was very specific, you had childcare costs without really having a second income (I think your wife was doing a PHD at the time) whereas normally the cost of childcare is more than offset by the earnings being brought in by the second spouse.

There are obviously cases where that doesn't hold through, and I've wondered why someone would bother, i.e. if the second spouse is earning say €1,500 net a month and paying €1,100 or €1,200 for childcare then why not take the 40/50 hours with your child instead?

I understand that people want to stay in a work envoirnment, but it doesn't seem like a worthwhile trade off to me.

Shelbourne were on looking to replace 40 of their toilet seats. Had to go off & get a price as never sold these ones before. Felt embarrassed coming back to them with a price of nearly €400 each. That's €16k worth of toilet seats. Lumps of plastic with a logo on them. Must be some money in them hotels there. LOL.

it will go the way that it's always gone in recent years. Sexton will move your lads all round the pitch, they're not used to it and will be gasping for air by 50 minutes.

In fairness, I thought the Italy match was good to watch an you could see glimmers of what Noves was trying to do. I think the job has come too late for him though (he should have got it when Lievremont did) and you would have been better off going after Cotter who understands the French mentality yet is an outsider.

Remembering the good old days (so ironic in retrospect that it was PSA who for the touchdown!):

Yep.

My missus would say "jesus I'm smashed this month" meaning her current acc is a bit lower than normal but it doesn't need replenishing from her savings or anything drastic like that.

Me saying "I'm smashed" means I don't have two coppers to rub together and I don't have a savings acc to touch up.

I iamgine it's a mix of having something strange appear behind you out of nowhere and a fear of something like snakes.


You don't have to have ever seen something to be scared of it, that's evolution baby.

This is why people are innately scared of spiders, snakes, loud noises etc. Those who had a tendency to have fear of them survived and passed on their genes. We are just an animal, which is not too dissimilar to a computer, we are heavily reliant on our coding. As time goes on we get less so, as we develop as a species and go beyond the classical natural selection.

If youw ere Madigan would you have left for imerick or Cork they still split training i think between both places.
One of the lads in my club wo a training session with Madigan 2 weeks ago was very good.
Very nice humble guy very small but spent 90mins training us then took photos slefies whatever with everyone that wanted one.
I guess its all part of the gig.
Of the lads from Connemara told him to relocate to Galway jokingly he took it well.
From a Connacht point of view its great ths year top of the pro 12 should have heinken cup rugby next year.
Two starters on the irish team obv White is more of a stop gap.
Hopefully it shows players youc an still have an international career while at Connacht hopefullly can keep Henshaw.

Hi. Yes it's believed it's because of snakes. There must be some hard-wired instinct about being surprised by a long thin thing on the ground beside them. Cats' natural habitat was grassland so they would have been prey for snakes. They are vulnerable when they're eating as they get quite docile and stop paying attention to their surroundings.
