Baby 2 (2nd boy) delivered today, and all well thankfully. You forget how small they are when born, and first nappy change I got the small baby trifecta of poo just as clean nappy was going on, then a bit of sick, then when I was finished cleaning that and grabbing another nappy, he firehose pisses all over the place so I had to change his clothes as well as nappy again.
The things you forget about having a little baby! I'm sure that will sell the likes of Denny on the merits of having kids too.

I almost had one of these https://www.currys.ie/ieen/household...62333-pdt.html a little while ago for free because the GF's bro was in the market for a Smeg fridge and it was being thrown in but he decided against in the end.
I'll be looking during Black Friday

Nespresso is better than the Costa/Starbucks/Insomnia's of the world though.
I suppose it's how much you like your coffee.
Pick up a cheap cafeteria or an aeropress and buy a bag of ground coffee from a roasters over xmas.
I'm not sure what part of the Kingdom you're from but I'd highly reccomend these if you're in the vicinity: https://www.beanindingle.com/

How about yourself?
The signs are somewhat promising I think because that round included 6 pars and a few chances for birdie so hopefully it begins to drop in the new year.
Thankfully I got that job I was after so my working day has gone from 12.5-13 hours down to 9 so I suspect a large chunk of those extra hours will spent on the course.
If you're back any time soon, let me know and we'll get out.

I’m back at Xmas actually for 10 days but not too interested in playing on temp greens. Hardly anywhere will have actual greens will they in Late Dec?This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Not sure about the greens, if Faithlegg & Waterford Castle are anything to go by at this time of the year, they've been perfectly fine especially the Castle.
I suspect there must be some courses around Dublin that will remain open. I'll ask around.
On the topic, for those around Kildare, Dunmurray Springs closed its door this week.
I heard a couple of months ago things weren't great, apparently taken over by a US fund.
Lovely course but a difficult location and has been treading water for a while.

Quality dig by Pelosi today. In fairness, it's a1/20 shot he has no idea what it means!
“If the president has something that is exculpatory -- Mr. President, that means you have anything that shows your innocence -- then he should make that known,”"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Facts dont matter, its needs to be a visceral wrongdoing, this conversation he had is spinnable.
So far nothings stuck, this needs to, last chance saloon imo.
The dems playing a blinder so far to be fair.
Pelosi with the phrase shift from quid pro quo to bribery today is another step forward. Treason, and Bribery. Two unambiguous, clear as day reasons for impeachment.
Sondland due on Monday with two staffers confirming they heard the same call about investigations with Trump.
Giuliani sinking. Doing his best Tony Soprano impression with his "insurance" comments.
I still don't think there is enough for the Senate to convict, but all those republicans in purple states need to really think hard about how they will vote.
Under a year to election, administration leaking and listing.
It blows my mind the literal stupidity of the supporters of Trump. Not those trolling, or those following for money reasons, they are clownish and evil in equal amounts but the legit 30% who are part of the cult... that is absolutely terrifying.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

This is just another attempt by crooked politicians in Washington to use fake news to scare the American public because he dared to bring the troops home and is also making sure that Iran knows that the best damn military the world has ever know is going to come for them. USA, USA, USA.
God bless America and let’s keep making it great - support trump and support the troops.

The psychology of crowds. Ask the Germans.
Throw in the internet as an amplifier and Trumps pretty soon become the new normal."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

you left out fake news, witch hunt, Crooked Hilary, Sleepy Joe, perfect call, 'many people are saying....'
I also deducted a point for grammar and syntax (i.e. having some)"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Labour's understanding of what really matters to people is quite impressive on a number of levels. The inept and ludicrously wrong objections of the Tories as they flail about trying to explain why free broadband for everyone is a very bad idea is fun to watch

They are 4/7 to get an overall majority.
I don't think things have really kicked off in earnest yet and there is of course the risk that BoJo does something Borislike in a debate.
He's got that teflon quality of Trump though."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Heineken Cup is back is a world cup hangover year.
Usually bad news for the Irish teams. Leinster are clearly in a league off their own on this island and have the softest pool ever. I can't be having them at 2/1.
The team I like (and it might just be sentimental as I love them as a club) is Clermont at 7/1. They, of all the French teams, target Europe, the home ground is a fortress and their group is soft-ish.
And the final is in Marseilles meaning it would be a home game effectively.
Saracens at 5/2 is clearly a joke (or else an assumption that the fine and points deduction somehow gets overturned. Even if it does, the England players are surely fecked)."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
