Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[Strewelpeter]

Visiting a friend recently in both places, there is some gulf between Vincents and James for oncology. Would swear they were in different countries

Only superfically I hope, I'd expect treatment and outcomes to be identical.

I can never remember, is he Kang or Kodos?

Would say its superficial alright, James' staff have had 3 different visitors to her in floods of tears for different reasons. Vincents was like a hotel by comparison, they allowed her to go home for a weekend to help her mental health and happiness in middle of treatment. I would be of the professional first/tough love mindset, didnt seem appropriate for me to bring it up to the girls ( and fella) who were so upset.

I'm sitting here watching this gif trying to figure out what I'm missing.
Watched it 10 times easily. Read on a few posts. Went back to it. Nada

Then I noticed it had volume control and it wasn't a gif.

I've watched it with the sound on and I still don't get it. Though maybe if I knew who the guy was I might...

It's Ted Cruz. Apparently the big drama is him referring to it as a basketball ring rather than a hoop. The line he used was taken from a movie about an Indiana basketball team I think, a bit sketchy on that part of the details.



So it seems the nomination is all wrapped up now, amazing to think Trump was over evens just a few weeks ago. Been a fascinating campaign.

No Survivor spoilers ye cunts

Episode had just been uploaded when I posted, I hadn't seen a second of it m8. Was just feeling sad at the thought of her going

Needs a wash imo

That'd be part of my plan alright

[Keane]

I think it's general practise to spoiler ongoing stuff. Anyone who hasn't seen the exact amount of episodes you would now know people are in still in the game at the point you posted.

EDIT: No big deal, obv

[dobby]

Keane obviously pissed off that Tommy Walsh has left the Kerry panel. Such a Primadonna thing to do instead of staying and fighting for a place.

I would love to go to something like that. I have been a Floyd fan since I was a teenager. Used to have quite a collection of vinyl's.

Very quiet in here now, need more P&F imo

Was boat fishing out of Killybegs today. Jeez it was windy, rough with hail stones. Felt like an audition for that 'Deadliest Catch' program at times. We are approaching May ffs ???

For me, two jokes in it

1. Kang trying and failing to sound like a normal person, much along lines of British politicians claiming to love Greegs two days after saying fattie food is bad

2.
If your going to try and use a line use the locals wording (hoop) and don't butcher a local legend

Stephen Donnelly on IT Politics Podcast:

- there's a clear majority of TDs who ran on a platform of abolishing water charges
- there is a motion infront of the Dail to end water charges and hold a referendum assuring public ownership
- FG and FF's deal will involve denying that motion to be heard before the Dail
- Donnelly thinks this is wrong, but is confident charges will not be returned following the process outlined
- He's happy to proceed on that basis and move onto dealing with other pressing issues

Emmett was asking this question a couple of days ago.

You lads going to march for your money back?

Also he confirmed the SD position is to dispense with charges and fund via general taxation. So don't be giving them preferences! He thinks ye should get your money back though. His argument against pursuing non payers is amusing.

Complete bullshit that Paul Murphy is getting legal aid. 90k salary before expenses, what he chooses to do with is his own business but it is more than sufficient for him to afford legal representation.

If he doesn't have it because he gives it all away then he qualifies. Take it up with the judge who accepted his claim?

It's a joke that he even has the nerve to apply for it. Taxpayers shouldn't have to cover his political donations. Even if he doesn't have 50k to hand he could certainly get a loan for it. Absolute lunatic stuff.

If he did get a shit hot legal team it would be thrown in his face aswell. Again, it was accepted for some reason. I'm sure Kayroo can explain it better.

Don't feed the LloydBot

Yeah, let's all engage in groupthink. I'm still waiting for the IW protests to die down and the FG / Labour government to be returned, oh wait...

Whatever way you slice it the result is taxpayers on the hook for political donations. Rare enough that any general news annoys me but that is fuckin insane.

Understand the reasons behind not selecting him tonight but you have to wonder about Sturridge future under Klopp at Liverpool now.

Its really a fantastic show. Theres something different about it that really makes it quality, cant even tell exactly what that is.

[Kayroo]

He applied and the State didn't object. You'd need to be on the serious cash to not get legal aid. If he had donated the money to the Samaritans then nobody would bat an eyelid over his application. He gave it to AAA-PBP so everyone is raging over it.

I do think it's somewhat disingenuous of him to apply for it though because I think that he did so knowing that either he would get it; thus creating this reaction, or he wouldn't, therefore creating a different but equally beneficial reaction for him. He could definitely have afforded his own representation based on his access to resources however he clearly met the criteria and it is a vital aspect of our system of justice that everyone has access to legal representation to protect their liberty irrespective of their means.

In short, he was entitled to it but that doesn't make it right that he sought it. Ultimately if he'd been denied it then he would have appealed that decision and it would have wasted more time and money. Time to just get on with it.

EDIT: The very very best defence lawyers do legal aid work too Lloyd. He will still get a hot shot team of lawyers in all likelihood. This isn't the USA.

Any suggestions on a venue for a birthday dinner of like 12-16 people on a Saturday night in Dublin 3 weeks from now?

[horatio1]

One of the arguments i read for James is that its just a better hospital. Consistently top in terms of health outcomes.

Was it in that direction you found it Horatio, or Vincents is better.

I've never been in Vincents Hitch. The care we got when we got through to actual A&E was excellent , the long delay in the waiting room was apparently down to a doctor and some nurses not turning up for work. It's the information deficit as you sit there getting ever more tired that is so frustrating. They should have those screens they have in the driving license centres which display where you are in the queue and approx waiting times.

I had a bad experience when an inpatient in the coronary unit. It was basically human error but it was the lengths that they went to initially in order to try and hide that fact that was so worrying.

Thankfully nothing too serious wrong with my mam.

I have found the likes of Jeruselaum to be good. Good atmosphere, byob, tasty food and Middle Eastern cuisine has something for everyone and allows a large table to share and pass stuff around, etc

First up on Friday night we have Denny Division 2A and table toppers Mitchels Avenue from Tralee will face Ballyheigue Athletic. Mitchels finished this campaign with an impressive 27 points from 12 games, only losing once while Ballyheigue stayed with them all the way finishing on 26 points and remaining unbeaten in 12 with a record of 7 wins and 5 draws.

Thanks rounders. I just looked at the notes I made out beforehand and I had the date, time and venue included but forgot to put it in the article, balls!!. Ty for compliment.

All roads will lead to Mounthawk Park in Tralee, the home of Kerry soccer, this weekend for the first divisional finals of the season.

First up on Friday night we have Denny Division 2A and table toppers Mitchels Avenue from Tralee will face Ballyheigue Athletic. Mitchels finished this campaign with an impressive 27 points from 12 games, only losing once while Ballyheigue stayed with them all the way finishing on 26 points and remaining unbeaten in 12 with a record of 7 wins and 5 draws.

There was literally no separating these sides when they faced each other with both games ending in a draw. Those games finished 1-1 in Tralee and a scintillating 3-3 draw in Ballyheigue. We could be in for a real attacking treat with plenty of goals from two sides that try to play good football while doing the simple things well and with Mitchels outscoring Ballyheigue 32-29 in the league that is the only statistic that can give us any indication of what may separate these sides.

Next up on Sunday we have Denny Division 1B where Tralee Celtic take on Athletico Ardfert. Tralee Celtic finished top of this tough division with 33 points, 11 wins and 1 loss from 12 games with their only loss coming in their first game of the season. Meanwhile, Ardfert only needed 11 games to make this final with 9 wins and 2 losses along the way.

Most notably, those two losses were at the hands of Tralee Celtic which they won 1-0 in Tralee and 3-2 in Ardfert so the advantage is certainly with Tralee Celtic in this tie. This is one of the toughest divisions in the KDL and Ardfert were very unlucky to miss out on a league final appearance last season due to their GAA club winning the All-Ireland title. Both of these teams are good footballing sides so spectators could be in for a cracker on Sunday.

We wish the very best of luck to all four clubs this weekend and hope to see plenty of good football and lots of goals.

Good stuff Dobby.

Maybe add a line at the end of each match to say where the pints afterwards are happening.
"Ballyheigue Athletic promise to have a piss up in the Castle Arms if they win. (Half the team are barred from the White Sands)"
