Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - Mammy told me not to come.

I enjoyed this long read about the economics of spiralling education, health and housing costs and thought ye might too:

It's time to take a look at your sources when they espouse Charles Murray as a close ideological ally.

Strikes me though that the big issue is the 'I only need 6 hours' bit. Realistically if you need more at the weekend then you need more all week. Especially in winter when we naturally need more sleep than during the summer. Even edging that up towards a minimum of 7 hours would probably do you wonders.

I was always around 6:30 hours and now have a normally strict rule on 7:30 hours and it's a ridiculous mood and productivity improvement.

It's more that I currently only get around 6 hours than I think I only need 6.

At the weekends, I get more as the alarm doesn't go off and there is very rarely a deadline to be up for.

It's definitely something I need to look at though

[Guest]

Those sleep levels would kill me. 11-7:30 or bust. luxurious lie in until 9 every weekend.

[Keane]

Yeah if I don't get the full eight I'm in bad shape. I'd be a zombie on six hours.

[eamonhonda]

After shift work I'm not worried unless I get less than 5

[Lazare]

I think I average around 7 hours, but fuck me what I'd give to be able to drop off within 5 mins of going up. 30 minutes is doing good.

I was in the IFI this evening for a screening of Wine Calling as part of La Nuit Des Idees.

Absolutely brilliant documentary about natural wine producers in the south west Occitanie region of France.

The community they have there is something we should all aspire to, even if we are city living folk.

Must try see if any of the producers are available locally.

Someone I know used Revolut in London for the lay-deez payments! they have gone hi-tec

Where did he swipe it?

[Solksjaer!]

Puke central here . Won't be sleeping tonight . Toddler emptying the clip . Not sure if he needs a doctor or an exorcism , impressive hurling. Nothing left unscathed. . Strong brute.
Still though I'd prefer it was me .

I'd love to be able to sleep for 5 hours straight on a regular basis. Have no problem falling asleep (5 mins or so) but usually wake up after about 3 hours, I think it's when I start dreaming. Injured a toe again recently kicking a wall, when I dreamt I was attacked by a mob of emus at my front door.
And yeah, I do have the option of sleeping in a bed that doesn't have a wall next to it, though my thinking is that it would just increase my falling out of bed injuries by 50%.

@Shrap, how are you getting on with your keto diet? Haven't gone that far yet myself, though I'm 3 weeks off the bread and think it might be enough for me to see a real difference.

really good so far. i'm 3 weeks in of a 12 week cycle, and finding it great. losing about 1.5 kg a week, on a rough 1000 cal deficit. no calorie counting too much as if i'm feeling peckish in the afternoon, i'll eat a piece of cheese or a few slices of saucissons, however, I've never eaten as much butter/cheese/eggs in my life!!

Also back in a gym routine (going 3-5 times a week) which obviously helps, the only big drawback is going out or going to friends for meals, as you can almost never eat what's served, or drink anything either. Body wise though i feel great, loads of energy, sleeping pretty well. Also taking recommended supplements for keto, magnesium and potassium, which has meant i've had very little of the side effects (keto flu).

would recommend.

Today is the day the punishment narrative starts.
Every single thing that was pointed out to the cretins as being the inevitable consequences of their stupidity will be transformed into 'The evil faceless undemocratic EU are punishing us because we dared to stand up to them'

Hopefully there will be no softening from Europe, the screws are tightened hard and we can help them see the folly of their ways in double quick time.

Ugh, that speech from the father of the three kids. Just the depths of despair within it.

I found it a bit bizarre . I feel for the guy but something feels odd about the whole thing .

So so sad

Find the coverage so grim. Don't understand the need to publish full names, photos, addresses, details, life background. Ghoulish gutter journalism.

[ComradeCollie]

She's the only one who's called around to me, 3 times in the last 4 years. Seems a very old fashioned way of passing time.

She called around again this morning. Unfortunately I was out the back cutting hedges and didn't hear the doorbell.

finally got a cavasser today - Deirdre Heney (FF). Could stand to lose a couple of stones.

"oh, Fianna Fail. Won't be any votes for you in this house"

"Why not?"

"we remember what you did last time"

She actually looked quite pissed off. Would have thought a thick skin was a prerequisite...

Did you try turning it off and on again? Usually works for me.

A hidden life

visually stunning. this is almost a silent movie with background noise and voiceovers. at 3 hours long it's a handful but i thought it was superb, and incredibly tender, and the contrast between his 2 worlds is heartbreaking.

Great film and most likely a marmite film, you'll either love it or hate it.

8/10

Dark waters

small town vs big chemical company drama, although very formulaic is still quite an enjoyable watch.

Kung Flu has the markets spooked. UK confirmed cases should increase the hysteria here.

I have never read such a review that will ensure I will never watch the film before

Speaking of sleep.

95% of the time once I decide I want to sleep it takes 5 mins to nod off.

the other 5% though, I feel and hear everything. Itches, grumbles, sounds. It's incredibly annoying, the fact its so annoying means I stress and then can't sleep further propagating the cycle.

Wonder what triggers that.

Maybe I'm hysterical but I am somewhat spooked myself.

Actual flu kills about 400k people per year. This will blow over and be a memory in 6 months.

[Raoul Duke III]

Opened a large tin of Machons de Canard (confit of duck wings), roasted some spuds with the ensuing fat and a bit of bittered spinach on the side. Washed down with suitable wine.

Jaysis, some feed. Can hardly look the cheese in the face now.

Congratulations, best of luck to ye. Enjoy.

A lot of my anti engerland posts have been tongue in cheek but their celebration of todays departure and the aged Jacks guffawing away on camera in Celebration of Britannia rise and return of control is beyond belief . It's stunningly immature and in terms of prosperity it's comically premature.

The squeaky wheel has come loose and is rolling towards the cliff. Fk off with ye.
