Pain in the hole thing wasn't broken but was impossible to get enough leverage to click it back together without getting it lifted and using two hands.
Ended up with no choice but to get it towed to the garage but sure all will be fine I'll get the train home the worst thing was that I left my running gear in the car so couldn't get out for the run I was hoping to get in today. Went ahead and booked a hotel for the weekend trip we were planning which was built around me doing some triathlon training and kicking back to watch the sport.
Coming into the train station I managed to twist my ankle on the steps and now I'm in fucking agony with my leg in the air and my plans to do tri Athy at the end of may looking unlikely

This is probably not a great example but in my drunken state on Saturday, I thought, this is why I love Dublin
RiRa's, Saturday night, the tunes are thumping out and the crowd are loving it.
The atmosphere is great but sure enough, the end of the night comes, the music stops and the lights come on.
A group of guys and girls start to chant 'One more tune' to the DJ box. Clearly nothing is going to happen as they are normally fairly strict on the time for the music. Not just RiRa's as far as i know but in general (but am open to correction)
So, with no tunes coming, the group decide to give everyone else one more tune and break out into Wonderwall.
No sooner are they finished, the DJ jumps back into the booth and sticks on Wonderwall
The place erupts.
It's the little things but I just don't think you get that kinda shit anywhere else.

Help required. Was cleaning stuff with a highly pungent bleach smelling solution using a rag which I then washed in machine with other clothes. Result everything smelling of solution and despite running machine empty with washing powder etc at highest heat, then running it with lemon juice then baking soda it still stinks of cleaning fluid. Getting major grief from wife. Options please appreciated other than new machine. It is fairly new

Licenses are getting more restricted, and even the critters are pissing off elsewhere.
Such is the logic of the MoJ. Drug dealers running around with handguns, better stop people hunting with completely different firearms that rarely (if ever) end up in the criminal hands.

Also white vinegar. You might actually have to clean out the machine and give it a scrub. Or wash it a few times.
It's not a good sign if it picked up the smell and it's a new machine ..ideally the machine should be able to handle that. It is meant to get a little self wash every time.
I would say you are going to have to scrub it out. And run it once or twice. I would say it will be fine ...after a couple of washes.
I am assuming it's front loading?

Lots of people have a problem with hunting, but no problem eating meat. Personally I find that hypocritical, but to each their own.
I suppose a vegetarian or vegan could oppose hunting hypocrisy free, but they've enough issue to juggle.

€1100 to play for in the Aintree Tipping Comp.
A smaller, but definitely more select and indeed well-bred field than Cheltenham.

If it's feasible for this to scale up it would be a planet scale game changer. We'll wait for our resident physicists to approve it before getting carried away.
It's research by some lads at Manchester uni who have created a sieve out of graphene that can filter the salt out of seawater.Turning millions into thousands

Definitely a big deal but whether it's scalable will take a long time to figure out. Geim won the Nobel prize for graphene so he knows what he's at!

Originally posted by Lao Lao View PostWhile Dublin isn't perfect, I don't think I could live anywhere else in Ireland. I absolutely love to head out to the west of Ireland, but for a long weekend or maybe a week, I couldn't live there full time. The buzz and hum of the city will always draw me back and despite some of the problems it has, it's a class city. In fact, it's not really a city, it's a large town that acts like a city but it's brilliant.
Outside of Ireland, I'm not sure where I'd want to live. For a time, I would have lived in Australia, now it is too far from family and friends for me which is probably more abut my age than anything else. I absolutely adore New York but I don't think I could work and live, I could only live there if I was wealthy enough not to have to work and if that was the case, I probably still be tax resident in Ireland and travel the world a lot. The UK doesn't appeal to me at all. London would be the only real option and I had a chance to move there a while back and after weighing it all up, it just didn't add up for me
Paris or Madrid may be a viable option but the language barrier could be a problem (albeit initially) on the work front. Outside of that, Europe wise, I could only see myself in the south of France or Italy.
Toronto would probably be a good fit and a compromise on wanting a New York type lifestyle with not as much chaos
Either way, no matter where I'd end up, if I did ever leave, I know I would miss Dublin and Ireland a lot and would want to be coming back fairly often.Last edited by cooker3; 06-04-17, 18:10.

La Latina is a place I loved. Very colorful. I was walking by a flea market and a man showed me a ring and wouldn't let me pay for it. Then someone put a parrot on my shoulder for like five mins and said bring him back later! :P

Still, not the most attractive of interiors, is it? Nice big pile at the same time! I'm obviously becoming more and more like my parents as I get older, cause one of my first thoughts on reading that article and appreciating the size of the house is 'ooh, sure wouldn't it cost a fortune to heat it/general upkeep'!

The wine cellar behind the stairs is replete with cheap white wine. Kean’s preference, red wine, is kept under lock and key.

So massive "update" from the owners today.
Cost cutting across the board, not surprised always happens just before end of financial year. (which was usually end of october, now june. Just the scope of cuts was bigger than expected.
Long story short, I was made redundant today, meh.
Timing isn't ideal, but I don't care too much. I love working here, but my boss is a dick. I was also the only person in my position, so there's very little scope to progress.
I would of (or should of) moved on of my own accord eventually. So I'm just glad that I'm getting a severance rather than getting pissed off and quitting in 6 months.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostCould have sworn it was ashes, not asha
‘Asha’ is a pun. It refers to Asha Bhosle, but the word also means “hope”. What does “hope” signify in this context? The movies and songs are in many ways a fantasy of something better than people’s own lives. For instance, Indian youth whose overbearing parents would never permit them to marry those they fall in love with may yet indulge themselves in the romances they see onscreen and hear about in these ballads. The “45”, for you of the CD player generation, is the 45 revolutions-per-minute record player.
Incidentally, the word ‘Asha’ is normally pronounced with both ‘a’s long, as in ‘father’. Tjinder, with his British accent, pronounces it like “Asher”, touchingly making the song both more and less genuine at the same time. As a result the refrain often gets misheard, sometimes in quite hilarious ways.
