Anyone interested in organising a morning/day drinking session Saturday week centered around the England/NZ/Ireland semi final, will there be any places open at 9am when it's on

you sexism knows no bounds

it was a lady who asked tbf

[Strewelpeter]

I honestly don't think it's get through the commons

Looks very close, I think if Arlene squeals treachery like a stuck pig that its will be enough to block it, if she's just going through the motions saying down with this sort of thing then it passes.

The ERG know this the only deal they they are getting and it is a much harder brexit than they ever imagined they could get but if it does not go through now then No Brexit goes fav.

This is a cicero group take on the numbers

It's a joke about the fact that a group of men in the Tory party who constantly turned down May's deal are now getting behind Boris's deal which seems to have an awful lot in common with it

Leo really goes look like he belongs. With angela stepping back and macron fighting his own battles i wonder how it plays out for him and/or what the ambitions are.

Have a spare ticket for a-ha in the three arena the 29th. Seated in block m and going for face value €65 if anyone is interested. Will throw it up on toutless and adverts.ie later.

Also does or did an IPB'er live in Valencia of late? I'm heading there on Sunday for a few days an looking for recommendations.

Valencia Restaurant week until 27th October, book your choices here https://www.valenciacuinaoberta.com/

Aquarium is great if you’re into that thing, biggest in Europe and they have a lovely restaurant underneath, €50 for the degustation menu which was fantastic the night we went.

City of Arts & Sciences is close by the aquarium they have some brilliant exhibitions, not sure exactly what’s on this week but you can check https://www.cac.es/en/home.html

Go to the central mercado and grab a sandwich at the central bar (if you can grab a spot) it’s run by Richard Camarena who has a couple of michelin star places here in Valencia. Beside the central market is the 15th century Silk exchange (lonja de seda)

Mercado de colon, is a market more in keeping with enjoying time, pull up a chair outside Daniels Horchata try some Horchata & fartons and watch people go by.

Bar negrita (close to plaza del virgen) is a cool bar in the evenings, good people watching, chilled atmosphere and decent prices. Generally the street Carrer del Cavellers which is close by has a great selection of tapas bars to try out.

Best brunch places depend on taste but; bastard coffee and kitchen, brunch corner, dolce de luche, la petite brioche are all good shouts depending on what you’re after.

Tonne of parks and walks, metro is really handy and you won’t be stuck for somewhere to have a bite or a drink.

Van gogh alive exhibition is still running https://www.visitvalencia.com/en/eve...dia-exhibition

Generally speaking there’s always loads on here tbh, just depends on what you’re after.


Oh and museu de fallers is somewhere thats probably worth a visit. Every year the fallas festival runs for a few weeks, each neighbourhood has an edifice that they burn at the end and 1 is saved each year, they’re kept in the museo and you can visit for €2 so hard to get better value for an hour or so.

Afaik, teams get fined if they dont stand and watch. Seems bizarre tbh. Would be in favour of just heading down the other end into a huddle or something while they're doing the haka

Why did they not frame the Stormont option to stay in agreement this deal creates as a vote to leave the arrangement therefore maintaining the established norm under the GFA of Stormont votes needing cross community support

Being in a syndicate does give you a better chance of winning the jackpot.

NZ does score highly as a pretty cool country in fairness.

Massive marketing draw under the guise of historical cultural act. Not even allowed to challenge it by advancing forwrd these days because that would interfere with where the microphones and cameras are to film it imo

Also meant to respond to a post of yours ages ago about the rugby culture , completely agreed with you, I had no real interest in rugby when I lived in ireland, found it a little nauseating in Dublin, but loved my time with skerries. Wasn't until I moved to usa that I got the hype about the game and the surrounding aspects.

I'm lucky to be able to work in it full time now but there's still a lot of things that bother me, the heinos crowd, the getting naked, the acting like a cunt under the guise of rugby banter.

I would say though go give it a shot at a "country" or smaller on outskirts club. You might end up liking it.

[Lazare]

Dobby's kinda right though.

It's mad how much your objectivity goes out the window when you're part of a 'big' syndicate.

We had something like 650 lines on that last draw, everyone had the money spent.

Imagine someone said to you that starting from the moment you read this and ending mid April 2023 you had 650 shots at picking the exact correct second in order to win €1.5m.

Would you be scrambling to ship luckforsome a tenner so as not to miss out?

New Caledonia was interesting, it's basically Fiji but still French ith the bread, cigarettes and wine.

I suspect he meant to say that a large syndicate doesn’t change your EV. Which is obviously true, and that’s the premise behind sneering at the LoLN stats punter on boards.
But what he actually said was incorrect, from a statistical point of view. And ironically, it’s ex’s rly that kind of jargon confusion that leads the aforementioned punter to think he’s on to a winner.

Found living in NZ very boring, nothing happens after 7pm, kiwi bedtime is 9, very overpriced for what you get, it is an island st end of the world.

The scenery all sorts of blends into each other, yes it's amazing in some parts but filters down and it's like oh another glacial lake

Slovenia has some of the best train scenery in Europe, we loved our time there, all communist trains too so you can roll window all the way down in cabin and then stand up and rest elbow on window as you look out

Denmark was okay, Copenhagen is worth the hype, but I'd prefer Stockholm to it. Sweden and Denmark are boring in general though imo.

Adding Botswana.

On my list, just have to convince her that africa is worth the trip.

[Trippie]

Germany <> 'cool'.

Adding Belize and Ethiopia

I will be leaving Germany after two years on the 31st, cool is not a word id associate with it. There's a certain vibe in eastern places like Leipzig. Berlin is a little overwhelming , too many hookers in Hamburg, bavarians in Munich are like the German healy-rae folk. Where we are is just too rich to be cool, little triangle from Frankfurt to Stuttgart

[The Situation]

That NZ side is being fairly revered by the Irish press in the build up to tomorrow. Far from vintage All Black last few years, were average and undisciplined in the Lions were they failed to win for the first times in 50 odd years, lost to us last year for the first time ever, got run close by Scotland and Argentina and failed to win the rugby championship this year.

The bigger issue is Ireland have largely disgraced themselves this year and generally do in world cups but if we can somehow produce our best tomorrow youd think they'd be bang there with a chance.

Despite knowing less about rugby than I care about it I'm confidently telling everyone all week I think we're going to chin them.
