This is nuts stuff from alleged journalist Gerry Thornley, calling out Isa Nacewa for making some incredibly mild and subtle criticisms of Joe Schmidt’s World Cup plan, this is exactly the kind of shite coverage that puts people like me Off

Awful garbage altogether.

The Freud/ JB Yeats at IMMA is worth a visit, I hear the Sorolla exhibition at the national gallery is good too but I haven't made it there yet.

The Sorolla exhibition is a must, simply stunning.

First time actively looking for a new job since I finished college. Been out of the game.



Is it worth contacting recruiters? I'm guessing only a small % of open spots are on linkedin.




^ I really need to go into the NGI more.

Your job is so esoteric that I'd be inclined to say yes. I think for someone like me who has much less and more generalised experience you leave too much on the table by using a recruiter.

Richie may disagree and is probably the one to ask but based on salaries advertised and what people I know are making in similar roles, the gap seems substantial enough so I've avoided it.

That said, WTF do I know, I asked for X in my current role and they said "eh you can y" which was 40% increase over my ask
I'm not paid well, I was just very out of touch as to what I could ask for.

I'm currently interviewing at the minute though, a 1st round last night, another 1st round Tuesday and 3rd round the following Tuesday.
Last night was a massive reach and I'd be shocked to get offered it even though it went surprisingly well but the other two I have a chance.

Have you finished up or still in your current role?

My gig is pretty niche and most jobs are via my network but recruiters are still very useful especially for more senior roles.

Are you looking for something a bit different? If so don’t be afraid to draft up something a bit different in terms of CV and go meet the likes of Korn Ferry or Capital Markets.

Jesus Leicester's recruitment team work miracles.

Jesus Leicester's recruitment team work miracles.

Rodgers didn't like the committee Liverpool had when he was there and a few weeks after he rocked up at Leicester the head of recruitment left and Celtic's brought in. Think we may see them make a few fumbles in the transfer market in the coming seasons.

Yes but you need to pick who you go to. I will be the first to admit a lot of us are not great.

Think you still have my number, give me a shout and we can catch up. Will point you in the right direction or ask the guys who will know who is good.

Not quite feeling the depth of hatred for this England rugby team as I used to. Dylan Hartley and Mike Brown were the special sauce.
Eddie Jones, Farrell and Itoje all push my buttons though. Here's hoping the ABs marmelise them tomorrow am.

Hartley I get, a despicable human being but Brown? Always just thought he was quality, had he a dodgy persona, past, beliefs?? Or just a head you would have liked to slap?

[ComradeCollie]

Has Trippie organised a session for the morning? Like have to go to bed now if it's an early start.

Probably the latter, Farrell too.

Again I've actually always kind of admired Murray! Love his dry awkward humour and he has faced alot of crap I maybe going soft in my old age!

Andy Murray voted for Independence . Liked him ever since. I forgive his 'look at my wankcep' display.

The need to look at your mother between points for moral fortification is not indicative of a well-formed personality.

No, there was no uptake so figured it was a no go. Going to watch it at home with parents instead.

Its been years since I've enjoyed listening and relistening to a new album as much as I have to Richard Dawson's latest , gets better on every spin.

He's been an extraordinary presence for years creating some deeply strange work and while this will probably sound a bit easier on the ear to many its no less odd especially when put alongside his previous album Peasant

Anyway, during the course of some well-fuelled, ahem, research this evening, I think I have inadvertently found the reason why New Zealanders are so good at rugby.

Watch this. A fucking wedding. (Check out the bridesmaid ).

If we did this shit at weddings instead of getting locked and jumping around to a dodgy cover of Teenage Dirtbag, we would rule the known universe. And parts beyond.

He didn't travel too well this world cup. Wha wha

[Raoul Duke III]

I remember being in Christchurch the night the Crusaders won (whatever it was called back then) in 2000. As you can imagine, there was much rejoicing.

Went into a bar with my then girlfriend. About 200 people packed into exactly half the space. The other half was inhabited by four rather large Maori gentlemen who had a supply of about five rounds each in front of them. I asked one of the locals WTF is going on here.

"Awwww mate, you don't want to go near those blokes when they're drinking piss."

Sure enough, ten minutes later, one of them punches the table. In half. Bouncers disappear. So did everyone else.

So join scary haka shit with habitually not wearing shoes and basically you have bred rugby dominance.

English public school chappies will suffer tomorrow for the Poverty Bay Massacre.

Speaking of travellers, I came across a guy called Steo Wall (half traveller but has thick Dublin accent). Came across him through this performance of A Rainy Night in Soho that was on an RTE show:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSAmB3jgbSU

Anyhoos, he's quite interesting, playing acoustic guitar and rapping (not used to that combo) in his thick Dublin accent. Very raw, but has something about him imo.

Yeah what a game! Eng ht/NZ ft at 5/1 is one I like.

Gone for bridge/may fts

[Raoul Duke III]

Spread is 7 Paul. I'll take the overs with you if you want the interest?

[Raoul Duke III]

I got myself a bag of https://www.belllane.ie/ coffee recently. Can highly recommend.

That's a lot of l's. Welsh?

Having seen that wedding haka, get the impression the rugby one is watered right down.

6/10, that bridemaid would kick the shit out of the ABs all by herself.

[Raoul Duke III]

I'm obviously not inculcating my kids with the right values, just me and El Stuntdog watching this. And she's wearing white, the traitor.

Total rugby from England.

Semi-finals are always >>>> Finals

This first 20 minutes from England should be played on repeat to the Irish team at the next world cup on how to not shame yourselves on a big occasion.

Barrett on the blindside is a very weird selection!

Rooting for an England win here, takes away the “we lost to the champs who start practicing in the womb and don’t have GAA excuse”. Then Wales tomorrow and a Wales win in final please

What is blatantly evident from France's and Englands (to a greater extent) performance is that modern six nations is a complete and utter irrelevance.

[Strewelpeter]

What did they do?

Guest co hosts and generally fluting about with the format, as Laz says you can see and hear how uncomfortable Jools is with it.

[ionapaul]

The lighting is awful too, too lit up. Feels like when the lights come on at a gig.

Some prick trying to fix something that's perfect.

[Raoul Duke III]

Hugely enjoyable thus far, 10-0 is a fair score. Now we see what both sides are made of...
