maybe 4-6% of population is my rough guess.
regarding binge drinking, our stupid opening hours is a large part of that I reckon. We treat drinking as a timed challenge, which in a pub, if you go out at 10pm or so, it is.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I'm not twisting anything. Irish consumption is down. You're maintaining that binge drinking is the issue, yet the people behind the legislation are using consumption as the metric.Last edited by Denny Crane; 10-11-17, 06:55.

There are two separate topics, qualification rules for international representation where we play by the same rules as everybody else and the IRFU position on player availability.
I'd be more in favour of tightening up the former than the latter.Turning millions into thousands

Now I never use a stapler, or almost ever paper, but I'm damned if I'm going to give in and put the stapler away. So I start each day brooding over how she has done it again. Like surely it's not hard when cleaning a desk to not knock over the stapler, or to fix it if you have knocked it over.

Bundee first try, EZ game.
He therefore didn’t play the game of talking about how much he loved Ireland and it was a great place and he wanted to play for us. He was honest and was glowing about Connacht and life there and the camaraderie but he never gave a fuck about international ambitions with Ireland. Now he’s clearly a strong midfield option for us and he wouldn’t get in the NZ side so he’s signed up. It’s holding an honest mirror up to the whole process which if you look at Payne, Stander, Ah You, Strauss, etc etc has been a long time diluting the honesty of the sport.
BUT at the end of the day it’s a professional game and we play by the rules in order to compete with other “National” teams so it’s really an issue for Rugby as a whole to reflect on and not particular Unions to take a stand on in the middle of preparing for competitions.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

She's not knocking it over, she's picking it up, cleaning the desk and placing in carefully on it's side :P
Lol@ people trying to argue Ireland is not worse than most countries when it comes to drinking. Asked so often why Irish people get so drunk and so often with a genuine look of confusion from mainland Europeans. Poland beats us, that place is depressing.
As for binge drinking, it's defined that low because that low amount is doing damage - not healthy, it's twice the daily limit and even the daily limit is still carcinogenic (any amount is). It's not just about how drunk you get. You can binge drink without getting drunk as it's generally measured in two hour periods. So you are drinking twice the 24 hour limit in 2 hours.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 10-11-17, 10:36.

The Blair Hitch Project. It could be something spooky that is knocking over your stapler. I suggest an overnighter/vigil to see if you can find out there is a super or natural explanation.
Are there any young troubled children in your life. Is the Uni built on the site of an old Indian Restaurant? Draw a pentagon around the stapler (not the US building) . Sit tight, and if anything is happening, write it down and stick the note in your shoe, just in case you snuff it. My guess is though, you are dead already.

But somebody drinking 2 pints every single is perfectly fine and under no risk.
Surely we can get a better system than that. Or maybe it doesn't matter if everyone has the same assessment.

I’m sure there is alcoholics and binge drinkers in Germany too but they don’t seem to feel the need to punish responsible adults

Admittedly this is an artist's reconstruction, but it's fairly accurate. Even the Buddha himself would grimace at this treatment.
Made worse by the fact that you dont even use it. It's just this stupidly ornate homage to defunct stationary. I'm still not 100% sure which side is the business end and which end is the handle. Now if that black base has a 180° and it issues staples from both sides you create your own little niche of stapler wanker
Stapler is knocked over from pressure changes caused by the door obviouslyPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

My desk resembles the battle of the Somme, there is a sandlike substance over by the discarded yellow notepad graveyard but I’ve not investigated it yet. We have a cleaner but she/he never interferes with the desk, the front part of my desk has a loose piece of wood that sometimes snags my jumper. Meh. It add to the character of the desk.
I can’t add a video clip right now but the BBV needs to see the 1980s clip of John Tracey stealing it on the line from Steve Ovett in Crystal Palace 5000m . I was thinking about it as a clip that’s lost in the annals of time and yet a great sporting moment. If someone could add it ,you can all bask in the hilarity of Ovetts (like him) face as he realises, he got toooo cocky.

Solid pisstake
Myself and my boyfriend of two years broke up over the summer.
It came completely out of the blue for me and I'm still not over it.
I thought things were going so well, we even co-own a goldfish which he never bothers to visit.
I've been hearing rumours he's seeing someone else and while that's ok as we're broken up, I just don't understand why he'd finish with me.
