They appear to like software though there are certainly plenty getting involved with med device and Im sure other areas that I wouldn't have good visibility of.
Originally posted by PeaceandFire View PostAny interesting success stories ?
For what it's worth for anyone in a small start up position the Enterprise Ireland CSF is essentially a VC fund with a few more supports for start ups.
If you are asking for yourself EI appear super keen to support female entrepreneurs at the moment.May you live in interesting times!

3. Avoid rush hour where possibleOriginally posted by ArmaniJeans View PostLeicester Square to Covent Garden on the Piccadilly Line is the shortest trip on the Underground at 300 metres. At £5 for a single journey ticket it's pro-rata amongst the most expensive journeys in the world, though its doubtful if anyone does this trip.
If you are going out further take a bike to avoid rush hour changes and the big crossing points.Turning millions into thousands

Got an email from a student pleading that his 25% be turned into a pass because it would be 'heartbreaking' for him to come home for his J1, where he's having the 'time of his life', for a repeat.

Is anybody else seeing any letters directly after the letter "m" are really close, the spacing seems off.
Just wondering if its just my settings or im going mad.
The side bearing of diff letters determines letter spacing in fonts the kerning setting determines the amount of space between diff letters. Some fonts in word don't look good embedded ..so you have to adjust the setting. Some fonts have worse kerning issues than others and especially when embedded into something like a PDF.
So no you ain't mad

If you ever buy anything that says "can be eaten hot or cold"
Eat it hot! For gods sake it it hot!!!
Custard tarts are a probable exception!

Fruit farmers vote leave!
Cheap foreign labour view UK as a place that doesn't want them and decide that getting paid shit isn't worth the trip
Fruit farmers moan that Brexit is having an effect on their ability to get underpaid migrant workers to come and pick fruit

To be honest though I think they actually should be paying people a better wage. 'Underpaid workers ' is the point.

Do they drop scores as they get older ?

She did great overall her report was fantastic great marks on all subjects just kinda peeved no 8s or 9s etc

The education professional says he's not worried, so you shouldn't be. People mature at different rates. See for example the aforementioned 21 year old that thinks pleading for a 40% increase in his mark because he likes America is adult behaviour. It seems like she's a pretty well rounded kid which is far more important than standardised test scores at 12.

Trinity and UCD decided they were too good to have mere 'lecturers' so they decided everyone in academic position should be called professor. DCU then said, well if you're professors then we're professors.....so now I'm a professor. A few more rounds of oneupmanship and I'll be Taoiseach.

Nevertheless the numbers 6 and 7 cover a wide percentage (its not a straight line with 6 being 50 - 60%)and are taken to mean that she is strong in those subjects.

You should be reading this doc to understand what the scores mean
