I want to raise the Healy Raes, with the Dublin 'Politician' currently proving by induction, the Streisand effect. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime...tten-1.2635278

And if you believe in a God, it's really not mad to also believe he or she controls the weather. Though I always find it strange that a god like the Dalai Lama needs to wear corrective lenses just to see.

I dunno. Zebra Bill could probably sweet talk his way into some lion tang

Lol, yeah it's weird that mainstream media never mention the endless womanizing and rape allegations or the speculation that Hillary's ex law partner Webb Hubbell is Chelsea's Clinton birth father. The similarities are uncanny it has to be said:

Unemployment at 8.4%

Fairly spectacular and well under the EU average. Outside of rural unemployment blackspots, we're nearing the point where anyone seriously looking for work should have it. Obviously gets harder to move the needle from here on but still some turnaround.

I would how it would look if we all came home.

And poor auld doug never even got a call back from that 1 week of wanting a job and plastering places with cv's. FML

Admittedly I know just the basic stuff about Buddhism (through religion class in school no less ). But I didn't think the Dalai Lama was supposed to be a "God".
I'm thoguht that Buddhism rejects the idea of a divine creator. Their "gods" are upper level of goods karma rebirth.


But not entirely sure, any Buddhists here?

Was reading about their latest series and realised I never seen any of it. Stopping in 2007 kinda ruled me out, I used to never binge watch tv shows until like 2011 to be honest.

Just never see it mentioned on any list whenever someone mentions a show, only on season 2 now but so far so good.

I guess there is an outside chance that if he doesn't get the required delegates before the GOP national convention that the unbound delegates don't line up behind him and there is a brokered convention. It's very unlikely at this stage now though. Even though Cruz and Kasich have dropped out, their names are still on the ballots for the final primaries but most people won't vote for a candidate that has dropped out. So there should be a low voter turn out which would give Trump a bigger majority in those states which should get him over the line without needing the superdelegates to back him in June.
If Cruz and Kasich have dropped out at this point it's probably because their backers don't see the point in flushing anymore money down the toilet.

[mdoug]

Just noticed they had a movie in 1999 before the series even started, guess I'll watch that after I finish this season

Good bants about the water charges. I was in charge of that one bill in my house but they knew I wouldn't pay as fuck water charges, it falls from the sky m8's. They all put in the money for every bill that came, which I used to buy bottles of whiskey every time.

If we ever had to actually pay I'd have paid the chunk myself but I never thought we would. This was my way of getting 4/1 on water taxes coming into play really. Now with talks of refunds I have the sweat of having to pay them back.

Thanks for that.

What happens at a brokered convention. How unlikely it is 5% is unlikely, but makes the bet a bad play.

I've always felt that the low end of betfair markets are very flawed

A good eight hours spent sleeping on the toilet in my five star hotel. Let only m8s who haven't done that cast the first stone.

We all know though, that it's the jacks in the lobby you're talking about, and you haven't checked in yet. Probably because checkout is 11am
Didn't you do this yesterday aswell?

Slept in worse places . In the late 90s when getting a cab was a lottery I sat down by the canal for a rest. I woke up midday on a blazing Saturday in a suit with Saturday people everywhere . Had to lie back down ; the ol jacket was a comfy pillow. Whiskey . Was back out later .

FF owned FG in the negotiations. Seems FG were going to agree to pretty much anything in order to retain power. To all the FG voters here - surely this is incredibly disappointing?

Yes very disappointing, if it was anything to retain power or simply to get the govt formed knowing that as majority party you can bully the minor party historically remains to be seen.

Looks bad tho.

[Strewelpeter]

And before he went into politics, he was 'ponytail man' http://www.independent.ie/irish-news...-26424219.html

This kind of double think qualifies him for a job with Sinn Fein/ IRA

At a second interview with Lantern, he said he was asked if he had a problem getting his hair cut and said he did.

Mr Savage claimed he failed to get the job because he had long hair. In his view, a female would not have been treated in the same manner.
...
He was later contacted by the company and offered a job in his local area. He refused the job and claimed the offer was to cover up for the alleged discrimination.

[Guest]

More injunction frenzy regarding the Wayne rooney hooker and an "a list" actor today. pretty big disconnect between the guys actual status and how much they are hyping it up. He really would have been better off letting it come out , not that many would have been interested and it would be forgotten about now. Instead its apparently been all over net the past 5 years and is now a huge story due yto the red tops getting into a self righteous strop about press freedom.

DHR was just on the radio spouting the same rubbish and I sighed and said Danny is wrong on this but won't let it go. The 21 year old girl I work with says why would ye let it go, her right. I tell her that her god can't control the weather. Her response, who does so?

This is what rural Ireland is stuck in....

True, but Ireland, in particular Dublin, has always had a large population of immigrant workers. Compared to say 10 years ago, emigration has massively increased. Has immigration increased to balance it? I honestly don't know but I would be surprised. In a relative sense my point stands.

It's a globalised world. Even thinking in terms of nationality these days seems a bit antiquated.

I completely agree.

Done it when I had a really bad kidney infection. Not in a hotel though, but took a pillow with me and lay my head on radiator as I was sick of getting up every 5 minutes!

[6starpool]

I fell asleep on the toilet with my pants around my ankles a few years back. Thankfully I was at home after a night out, but was a bit weird to wake up around 6am, clean up and go to bed. I don't know how I didn’t fall off.

The only people I listen to lecturing me about climate change are people who have given up flying,driving and eating food that has been flown into the country. Everyone else can get fucked!

LOL ok m8. Economics 101 would say it does have an effect.

[Guest]

Does it really have an effect on consumption of things like petrol where demand is so inelastic? Presumably the money raised should be put into stuff like public transport ,cycling clanes etc .is it ringfenced for things like this?

Would have made 10x the sense for Kenny to have supported a FF minority instead of this setup imo. Would have been just as unpalatable, but would certainly have made more sense!

They're agreeing to do what that FF minority would do, which are policies that conflict with what FG were aiming to do, and the path to prudence that we were so ably steered onto by the devils that were the Troika.

The state is still overspending and running a deficit today, four years into a more macro-prudential coalition of FG/LAB with that Troika oversight than what was before, today even with GDP growth in silly digits, and today even with exchequer returns above expectations. We are still not affording the costs of the State as it is today!

And now FG have promised that the State is to spend more!

[Mellor]

Yeah, I was only really referring to the last 20 years or so. Not necessarily what always means to me though. I suppose always shouldn't be taken too literally in most instances. Go back far enough and there was nothing going on.

Visiting a mate a few years ago, he was just back in the country so staying with his parents, start jibbing him about falling asleep in his parents bathroom and his dad having to take the door off the hinges to get in and get him moved

a friend got locked into the toilet in my attic on the morning of an All Ireland final (why he locked the door was beyond me ). He was starting to panic and was roaring about kicking the door down if we couldn't get it open.

I probably didn't help by asking him if the All Ireland tickets would slide out under the door

[Keane]

Couldn't watch the entirety of that Danny Healy-Rae clip, too cringe. I wonder will they be smart enough to gauge the reaction to it and realise that letting him out in public without Michael holding his reins is a mistake.

I was talking to some other Kerry people last night who didn't actually realise how much like a drunk moron he comes across, thinking he was a bit more like Michael with his gliceas hidden behind a hat and an accent. I would think (hope) if he comes out with shit like that regularly and it gets much press there will be people at home who will say ok, Michael has a purpose, but this fool is a disgrace.
