Lol England v France cancelled, assume that’s Scot v Japan done too.

Well, it is a super-typhoon.

A meteorological phenomenon with which I was previously unacquainted.

[Strewelpeter]

Its not a bad city at all very livable in, teaching out in some of the rough areas has thrown up a few real horror stories though.

Aside from all the stories about the kid everyone calls Stabby Joe the most shocking I heard is the couple who arrived at the school in June complaining because the school had not reported them to child services for mistreating their child.
The reason was that holidays were coming and they wanted the kids taken into care for the summer so they didn't have to mind themselves

[Strewelpeter]

If Scotland Japan is cancelled we can't top the group... more fun when we beat the blacks anyway.

If the game is cancelled, it was surely planned all along by those sly and clever Japanese to ensure they go through top of the group!

Why not ? They get 0-0 draw . Explain . I'm tres confused

2pts for a draw, Japan move to 17pts, most we can get to is 16pts

[Goodluck2me]

Japan are on 14pts, but as it’s H2H first we’d be knocked to 2nd.

[premierstone]

Japan are on 14pts. It would be a dream for us if it’s cancelled, unless it’s H2H which decides it?

Yeah sorry, move to 16 and beat us on H2H.

Draw?

final decision is due tomorrow. nothing decided yet

[Trippie]

Lot easier to cancel the England France game than Japan Scotland. They should move it, Scotland will be furious, second world cup in a row they'll be knocked out unfairly, they deserve a chance to have a crack.

She prob should have done a test to potentially disconfirm it was Rebekah too, like block her and release a fake story because I assume instagram staff have access to those private accounts so could have been any of those, and guessing they'd be more in need of a few quid.

First time I've enjoyed being in a cinema in about 15 years. Even the audio levels in Dundrum were perfect. Think the movie was amazeballs, though probably not for the comic book purists.

Surprised England haven't shortened a bit in the outright having this game cancelled at the weekend. Would have been a bruising encounter. They faced a 14 man Argentina for most of that game and now this, doesn't come any handier in a tournament where attritional levels is always a big factor.

It was amazing, saw it in 70MM in the IFI last night. You forget Joaquin Phoenix is actually acting he is that good. The whole film is basically just him, class. A lot of small subtle things in the film are so good.
TBH he is amazing in everything.

I was in the back row and somebody was just standing behind me in an alcove for some reason. I was like great here we go, a shooting and I will be the one tackling them. They left after 15 minutes

I was three rows from the back, just right of centre.

It also passed the absolute litmus test where by Mrs Lao Lao didn't sleep at all during the film, not even a second of nodding off!

6.10. You would have been milling about as I left! It was packed.

What a shambles top level sport administration is globally. Athletics world champs and soccer World Cup in Qatar during the summer, RWC in Japan during rainy season. It’s taken all the good out of the World Cup, what an absolute farce.

Tournament a farce now, huge advantage to the qualified teams who get a cancelled game, Scotland may get knocked out without a chance to play for tourney life . Who could have seen a super typhoon coming in typhoon season though tbf?
How do they not have a contingency to move the games? This is absolutely a known known that they have had years to prepare for. Asterisk beside the name of the winner of this tournament now.
Wouldn’t happen in chavball

Quatar World Cup is gonna be in winter and it’s gonna be great.
I’ve come to the realisation that you can’t actually ruin the FIFA World Cup, Fifa have tried many times and every time it survives ( though I think the next team expansion to 48 I think is gonna test this theory

I'd say they'll find a solution to the Scots game this weekend, too much furore already to ignore. But to be fair it's only accelerating their inevitable exit and saving an embarrassment in the quarters if it is cancelled.

We'll still get our utterly predictable last 4 and the tourney will start then 5 weeks after the official start.

Mattress journey finished. Definitely worth haggling, got €250 off in the cheapest place I could find. €400 cheaper than Arnotts sale price. Just took two short phone calls (and much research haha).

Working from home today. A bit nippy out. Great excuse to road test my new bioethanol fire insert!

After looking at a lot of solutions this one looks, sounds and heats the place exactly as I wanted without ash and minimal messing.

Tried bed in Arnotts, it was down from €3xxx to (€2650). Rang up Sienna Home Furnishing, got their price (€2480). Said I'd be checking other places and would get back to them if they were cheaper. Rang up Kenneth Hodkins (€2495), asked for some money off there and got some. Sienna rang me back, mentioned the other deal and said they would talk to their manager. Rang back and offered €2245 + free delivery + disposal and will talk to me about a mattress protector when I am finalizing. Mark up has to be huge on these things, everybody happy.

Well, it is a super-typhoon.

Typhoon is another name for a hurricane. Super-typhoon is the highest rating, so same as a cat 5 hurricane.
Kinda baffles me why we have multiple English names for the same phenomenon. I think I was here for a few years before I realised that cyclone = hurricane too.

I got caught in one when I was working in Mauritius one time.

Was laughing at my colleagues as they rushed around, locking everything down and making sure I was safely packed away to my five star hotel. Was not laughing six hours later as a massive fucking palm tree crashed into my window.

Am I right in saying there's little or no installation with one of these? More or less free standing and fuelled out of a bottle of liquid by the looks of it?

We have one of these awful element heater fake fires in our living room, this looks like a huge upgrade for not that much outlay.

I was dreaming I was eating a tayto sambo.. Woke up went to shop right beside me half pissed. Lays crisps, bread with crusts cut off, salted butter and three small bottles of cava tbh can't think of a better breakfast I have full cover with laya

It’s as simple as that. The challenge for me was getting one to fit the existing fireplace as I didn't want to cut or damage it as it’s a lovely job. The ANYA unit fit exactly and with some ceramic wooden logs and by putting it in place of the fire basket it looks great.

You can get cool modern looking ones that can stand out solo or be placed on a shelf etc but I wanted to work with what I already have. I had been looking at a 1200 electric job with steam fire effect and then the cost of putting it in. I picked up the ANYA and the ceramic logs delivered for ~350 with the fuel on top.

PM me your number and I can send you a short video if you like.

[ionapaul]

Actually, while on the subject of fires... we have a crappy open gas fire, which we never use as the heat output is terrible. Also not a fan of the open fireplace with the little dude toddling around, even though we never use it is a hazard.

Does anyone have a closed gas fire or gas stove in a fireplace, running off the home gas connection? Am not sure what the difference between the two would be, or am I confusing myself - just want a gas fire that is not open to the room but is as efficient as possible. Does anyone have something like this and if so, how does it compare to an open fire in your experience?

Someone was trying to describe the difference to me today, a hurricane is apparently the opposite of a typhoon.

A small bit of research tells me the only difference between hurricane, typhoon and cyclone is the location of where it occurs.

Not great in terms of heat, but makes up for it in cost and flexibility. Feature a lot in commercial fitouts outs due to not needing extraction, air supply etc
Some of simple ones look great.

Were banned here for about 6 months, after a few people sets their place on fire by filling it when there was still lit. Apparently a small hard to see flame as its dying. Although probably just a few idiots too.
