Aldi have this wine for €28 where it would normally retail for €60.
Need at least 2 hours before it opens up. Going back to buy some more this week.

Originally posted by zuutroy View PostSorry Dom completely missed that. Ireland is notoriously hard to predict but the warmer months will have a higher cloud base so June July August will give you the best chance of getting out. Book whatever suits you but don't set your heart on actually getting out on that day. TBH you shouldn't have to book that far in advance anyway. Do you reckon you'd go on to do the PPL if you like it?
In 4 months time I'll have a kid and 2 mortgages, no room for an expensive flying hobby too in my finances.

I mean, its a word I've heard all the time. Along with baloney and the like. And I know it's some sort of deli meat. I don't think I could pick it out of a meat line up.

Anyone any experience with health screenings, blood tests etc? I remember it being discussed either here or on boards, looking at Mellor, V4V and Tar I guess?
These are available in my local hospital - http://www.stjameshospital.com/site1...creening-unit/

When getting bloods done ask for any particular vitamin you are interested in as they may not test for it otherwise, vitamin D etc. I went for one before and didn't think to ask for something so basic as iron and they didn't measure it - and me with haemochromatosis. If abnormality exists in B12 then you can get a more accurate test done than a standard blood test.
Can't comment on james', seems reasonable. Reminds me I need to find out where to go next myself. I would see how much it costs, wouldn't go throwing €500 at some place when going to your GP is often the same thing but much cheaper.
I would talk to them about cigarettes/alcohol, diet, exercise/activity levels and get blood pressure measured. Blood tests apart from vitamins :
Fasting Cholesterol (Hdl/Ldl) and triglycerides
glucose
psa
fbc
U&E
Tft's
Lft's
crp
A GP can generally do a good job with the above and recommend any further tests based on history/results.

Very rough estimates would be fine just trying to figure out how much you'd pay on top of cost price for a second hand house.

Too many variables it literally any guess could be off by x^n you'd have to get a couple of estimates to have any confidence.Turning millions into thousands

Haven't ever got into the detail of the EKG stuff, but can't be a bad thing.

I stayed in Barnacles and Abigails in Temple Bar last time I was there, Barnacles maybe slightly better but not much in it.
