Watching the WSOP AA vs KK hand, and the first guy tells the other to "check his privilege". Christ.

that really confused me.
The accusation of verbal abuse was hilarious, what was worrying was everyone agreeing with him.
I mean, the KK guy is clearly a bit of a dick but its plainly just speech play

More than 12 years trying to get a house back from someone not paying their mortgage.

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/family-took-advantage-after-vigilantes-forced-security-out-of-their-repossessed-home-judge-said-35161461.html

Bank of Ireland Mortgage Bank obtained a possession order in 2004. After nearly 12 years of postponements and failed legal proceedings to stop the repossession by Mrs McLeish and her estranged husband Thomas, the bailiffs moved in earlier this month.

Mortgage rates need to price this sort of shite into them. Crazy

I'm far from a Clare Daly fan but this judge seems like a power hungry prick. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/polit...kKKG2M.twitter

Quite clearly heavy handed but in terms of applying the law my reading is that the judge actually enforced it to the letter rather than applying the common sense \ Irish \ aren't we all from the same big village approach.

I would suggest that this is what you can expect if you spend a few years giving out about, investigating and generally soap boxing on corruption around speeding fines, how uneven the justice system is and how overpaid the legal profession in Ireland is.

Heavy handed indeed but I doubt anyone else would have been able to resit

Does the fact it is been debated by the Seanad not mean that they are not going to do anything with this and if it was a real policy it would be in the Dail.

Rubbish like this gets kicked around the Seanad to placate whoever wrote the policy with out taking up anyone who has a real purposes time.

She sounds very reasonable.

[shrapnel]

The wife was saying her pal in Russia is dating a new guy and around about a month into it they're out for dinner and he's had a few too many to drink. He goes into a long detailed monolog about how what would really get him excited is if she would piss and shit on him. Seemingly its his thing. The #awkwards rating here is that they both work together aswell. That was about a week ago and he hasn't brought it up since. So the compromise she's thinking of offering is all-he-can-eat piss, but no scat.

speaking of scat , last day at work today, and what i will retain from the last 15 months working here, is that in that time I broke 7 toilets seats just by sitting on them. Now fair enough I do work out and now have finely toned buttocks , but that's 7 more than I've broken in the other 44 years of my life.

what kind of racket is this dice?broken toilet seats seem to be a daily occurrence in this place. Their providers must be raking it in on toilet seats alone!

[Guest]

Now having said that, I'd say loosening the rules on licencing to allow alcohol to served more easily outside of bars would be a great idea. Think its the bar - and the mindset that goes with sitting in a bar - where the main purpose is just to consume alcohol is the problem with Irish drinking.

Different strokes and all, but I always thought the mindset that goes with siting in an Irish pub is being out of the house, seeing some mates and having the craic ~(getting drunk being a byproduct)

Where the mindset for drinking in an Irish house is eating crap, watching shit telly and getting drunk

I'm no fan of Daly either but surely you would expect and we should demand better from our judiciary. That rather they act in a petty, retaliatory way, that they are level headed, rational and pragmatic?

[Denny Crane]

Trump now up to a 20% chance in 538 and in the betting markets. 20% is a very non-trivial number. Bear in mind also the number of Trump voters who won't want to admit to even pollsters that they are voting Trump (or admit they would love to vote Trump if he was running in Ireland but only if Lucienda wasn't also running ), and things could very easily get interesting.

All the early voting seems to indicate a massive swing towards Hillary, so I was assuming Trump with be well down to the single digits by now, but he just keeps rising day by day. Perhaps suggesting a bias in how that early voting is being reported.

Jesus, back to Lucinda again. How many times do you need something explained to you before you get it?

The judge enforced the law to the letter and I would defer to Kayroo on this but it didn't seem like he actually stepped outside his bounds.

As I said it is indeed heavy handed and that is petty and retaliatory but from the other side should she have been treated lighter than the letter of the law since as a member of the Dail she should be held to the highest standards.

Just my opinion and obv I am biased because I think she is a fool but she essentially decided that she had more important things to wait for the case to be called and yes I do think the judge called her case before he left because he saw that she had left. If I had left before I was called in that case I wouldn't have been recognised so the judge wouldn't have know any different.

Still tho if you spend years complaining about people getting lighter treatment for speeding and then complain when you get caught speeding and are prosecuted to the letter of the law and to the heaviest extent it is laughable.

Is there anything good to be said for Fitbits or are they just trinkets?

About to make an attempt at fixing myself and in the tooling up stage

ohh and have smart watches come and gone?

If you are the type who will get up off the couch at ten o clock at night and bring the dog for a stroll because you find you are a bit short of your 10K steps for the day or will change your plans at the end of the month to spend another hour or two on the bike just so as to limp across some random line then they are for you.
I'm using a Garmin watch with a built in HRM that records all my runs cycles and swims as well as steps and heart rate. I din't know that any of it means an awful lot but I do find all the data very motivational. The best or worst thing depending on how you look at was getting a connected weighing scales. . When I was losing weight it was easy to keep a record and stick it in a spreadsheet, when its slipping back on its even easier to avoid recording it , with this yoke there is no room for obfuscation or self delusion at all.
As with any of these things the most important part of the tool is the data and it is simplest to stay in the one universe. The garmin app and online tools are free once you have any device and with them having a full range of devices makes them the winner in the space ...IMO
Obv they are taking your data and selling it to potential employers, life insurers and kidney harvesters etc.

The smart watch part is just about useful to glance at messages you don't really need to see but other than that its not up to much.

I think you are missing these bits

Hers was the last case on the list, at number 188

Towards the end of the court day, Judge Desmond Zaidan block adjourned all remaining cases numbered from 175 onwards to a further date, on the basis that they would not be heard that day. However, he instructed that Ms Daly’s case, at number 188, be heard.

He is clearly singling her out here

plus

Ms Daly was one of 102 cases listed before Judge Zaidan at Naas District Court.

At a point shortly before lunch, Judge Zaidan directed that all those cases listed from number 51 to 57, and 59 to 101 to make their way upstairs in Naas courthouse to Court Number 3 where Judge Alan Mitchell was sitting.

Ms Daly’s case was number 58.

Why bump 49 cases up to another judge and keep this one to himself? Again he is singling her out because he wants a go at her

Applying the letter of the law re the bench warrant / fine, etc is OK (even if it is way OTT) as it may look like he does not want a member of the Dail getting special treatment but he is clearly going after her with the above actions which is petty and retaliatory and IMO people who hold such an important position should be above this

Have you ever seen how a district court works ? They really are little fiefdoms where the Judge is the boss and can do more or less what he wants.

Obv Daly is poison and a dangerous self obsessed wannabe demagouge but I wouldn't be a fan of Des Zaidan either, he seems to me unnecessarily harsh on minor drugs and a bit soft on motoring. I'm surprised by his behaviour on this I know he is very demanding of the solicitors in court but is usually fair enough with the general punter. It really does sound as if he got a bit overexcited at the thoughts of dealing with Daly.

Obv we would love to hear from anyone who knows what our bewigged friends are whispering behind their robes about this

Only problem is that with bottles all being different sizes etc, it's (a) difficult to stack them without them toppling over and out and (b) it's hard to find a bottle I might want if buried at the bottom of a pile.

Can anyone recommend where I might get racks (either made to order or ready-made) to resolve this appalling problem which besets me?
