On the home heating topic, as mentioned before, we bought a new build approx a year ago so I'm currently looking at changing energy provider to see if there is any better deal. Generally the sign up offer cannot be matched by your current provider.
The house is air to water so electricity is all we need though we do have a pot belly stove which has been used 2 or 3 times. I have been pricing moving but the difference is minuscule given that July/Aug electricity(& heating) was 70e.
Not quite the blast of heat you want as you come through the door in winter though.
On a somewhat related topic, the other house I previously mentioned is back up for sale. Auctioneer rang me to say he had an offer but no viewing had taken place.
A guy rang from US to say he had seen the pictures and he was interested. He said he'd offer 10% below asking to get the ball rolling which is only 2% lower than highest offer last time.

A small bit of research tells me the only difference between hurricane, typhoon and cyclone is the location of where it occurs.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Hurricanes and Typhoons are identical meteorological events but for some reason are called Typhoons if they occur in the NorthWest Pacific region and Hurricanes everywhere else.
Except for parts of the Indian Ocean where they're called Cyclones!
I've no idea why.
Given that meteorologists struggle to predict rain in Ireland I've decided to leave them at it and not ask questions.Last edited by DeeBrown; 10-10-19, 19:36.

So Guiliani hired two Ukranian crooks, who also donated vast sums to a Congressman who was pushing to dig dirt on Biden, to dig dirt on Biden. In Ukraine.
And now said crooks are in the federal slammer. Having tried to flee the US on one-way tickets. Having had lunch with Guiliani the day before.
To paraphrase: "it's not the corruption I mind, everyone's corrupt. It's the stupidity.""We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I’ve had a fun 2 weeks, been training for a 12km trek ECO run In Paris that was a mudbath and fun , the previous week I fell on some wet leaves that gave way underneath my feet and I toppled like Stevie G in his pomp looking for a peno. Got skabby knees and elbows but no damage done . ON the night out in Paris before the run we went to the Iconic Jazz bar and a fabulously terribly named Irish bar – O’Jasons. Whilst under the influence of bad drink and even worse music I did the Rooney goal celebration slide on my knees. The Skabby knee ,deskabbed and was now flowing blood. I stood up winching , ouch, that hurt a bit and looked down at my bright trousers menstruating at the knee. Cue some concerned folk from the bar coming over to see what happened. GTFO, tis only a flesh wound and I dabbed some Peroni (I know shit beer) on it. Since then it’s gone a wee bit yellowish but no pain. I’m wondering if I’ve got Peroni Knee or an infection. The fact that there is zero pain would mean nothing to worry about right? I don’t want to fork out 60 quid for a doc to sccop the lids and give me an antibiotic for a skabby Peroni knee. I’ve had yellow skabs before so I’'ll be grand.

On the way home from the pub at 2am last night I passed by the hemp clad protestors at Merrion Square. I happened upon a high level strategy meeting and joined the circle. It was comedy.
They were talking a lot about their feelings and empathy how they didn't feel as valuable as the "arrestables". They did jazz hands any time anyone wanted to make a point. I just had to subtly record a bit of it for my own posterity. They noticed and challenged me, I went to leave, they jostled me a bit and took my photo.
I was accused of being a government agent, "ya rat" I just left them to it, kinda regret not standing my ground and saying I just thought it was comical. Such delusion to think they've undercover agents in their midst.

I saw a couple of people being interviewed last night and one girl,who seemed to be some sort of a spokesperson, was convinced that all life on the planet was going extinct as a result of this crisis which was quite disturbing. Then there was another guy described being crippled by anxiety and his impotence to do anything about the crisis until he found ER as an outlet.
Have no doubt that radical and urgent action is required or there will be a dramatic collapse of economic and political structures over the coming decades. It is practical actionable plans that are needed now. We can't blame these people for expressing their frustration at the absence of any real action when it is clear that no one is willing to actually act as required and the entire political world in in thrall to fossil fuels and the delusion of a capitalist system built on the central lie of eternal growth when what is actually built on is the failure to accurately price energy.Turning millions into thousands

Denny mentioned finding it funny that people think climate change will kill them, personally I'd be shocked if respiratory issues don't kill me and I'd put a lot of the blame of that on climate change, pollution etc.

made it back to germany, good and bad luck, wife fell on 2nd last day, landed on her ass going down stairs with backpack on, in some pain, got back here and doc sent for xray and mri, turns out she fractured vertrabrae and her sacrum.
Good news we are moving back to usa in a few weeks and had an ordeal of taking pics of everything we had in storage unit to sell on a marketplace site, 45 mins later a canadian woman who is moving over says I will take everything as have an unfurnished apartment starting the lease one day before our lease on storage unit is up.

Saw Joker this afternoon, wasnt overly impressed, thought it was just alright. and by Joaquin's high standards I found the performance average enough, his portrayal of a character with demons in The Master was infinitely better I thought, but I guess when you're making something for mass appeal subtlety isn't the main concern.Profit before people.

Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostIs that tied in with the whole tracker mortgage redress?
I think EBS offered us same deal but our tracker balance was so low that the cost of putting the rest of the new mortgage on their shitty SVR more than outweighed the benefits. Hence we left it to die.Originally posted by ghostface View PostNo redress for me sadly but the issue never came up with bank about losing the tracker. Tracker still over 100k so seems worthwhile but TBH I know fuck all about these things
If anyone else was involved would appreciate if could send a pm as to how they dealt with it, particularly if wanted to dispute or further address the compensation issue.
Also, recently been approved for a morg by the same bank and the letter seems to be dated around the same time of the approval so I don't know if I would ever have been contacted if that wasn't going on at same time. In summary, banks are cunts...

Was at a jobclub training thingy the last few days. Sitting next to me was this really hot bird with a, to me spanish accent. A topic for group discussion today was thrown out as 'Donald Trump'. She was straight out of the gate with how he's the only world leader supporting Venuzulea after 20 years of dictatorship. Sorry no pics.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.
