Just on the accents. Our three have the oddest accents ever. The eldest 2 have neither strong Irish or Scottish. Irish people hear the Scottish twang but if you put them beside a Scottish kid they sound nothing like them. Same with Irish.
The little one has no accent I can identify with. My friends son asked where she came from! pretty tough with a Scottish mother, Dub Dad and living in Donegal!
Goodness knows what sort of accent she will end up with LOL. She did used to sound a bit English when the creche she went to was ran by an English woman.

Much more impressive though is he's a physical mimic, and copies movement incredibly well, from sportsmen (rugby place kickers), to dancers (he twerks like nobody's business ), or just how people walk!
basically, he's a sponge! (as they all are really)"I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

Our GDP is €240bn and tax take is €55bn. UK has about the same ratio.

Some expect you partake and turn a blind eye.
Others seem to take it as an insult.

@RD3 - If you're going to Montpellier for a rugby trip, be sure to pop into Trinh-Duc's restaurant/bar.
Dad was there before for the Leinster away day and said that not too long (2/3 hours) after the game was finished, 6/7 of the Montpellier players came in for dinner and Trinh-Duc came over to thank my Dad and his friends for flying over for the match and for their custom. (If you remember, we robbed it at the death!).
Said there were some songs and stuff going on too. Fairly good craic I'd say!

Call from the wife there (in Amsterdam) saying she thinks she shouldn't have smoked stuff 30 mins ago as now she's too high to fly home in two hours. At least I think thats what she was saying. If only I wasn't living in this beautifully glassy house I'd throw a stone. Sucked it up and booked her an extra few days with the express understanding that I'm amazing and that this is the approach we should take to all future fckups by both of us.

Not a chance they'll get through security if they are doing it right. First time I was in Amsterdam I was seeing a gremlin leprechaun in the street. To this day, I'm pretty sure it was actually a crazy dutch guy in unusual dress

Went into Currys to get MS Office for daughters lappie as she needs powerpoint and excel for school. £65 for one computer for year £115 for life and £120 for 2 computers for year (approx remembering)
When did it become a yearly subscription?
I am still using Office 2007 which was one payment only for life and multiple computers!
Am I missing something or/and is there any other options?
Dont like paying Gates £100+ every year as other daughter will need same soon.

The hippys of yesteryear would probably be in bits with panic attacks the weed has got so strong.
I saw it with people first hand when living in Holland smoked loads of hash in ireland go to Holland suck on a 6 inch joint turn white and collapse.
That or people getting panic attacks paranoia.
People think its a safe drug i think its quite harmful and addictive.
Not as addictive as heroin of course.
Some wannabe hippys here wil say you just dont get weed but they are in denial.
