maybe a handful of hand wringers and a large percentage of publicansOriginally posted by Keane View Post
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

Your issue is that the image contradicted your statement about Irish drinking.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
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.Comment

Seems like should the Bill pass it will be with a commencement order waiting for Northern Ireland do the same, hopefully that will take a while and by then Harris will be gone out of the office and it will be some other Minister looking for his policy piece for his CV.Comment

Just LOL at the media blowing up this bundee thing. Grand for Strauss, CJ and Payne but let's blow bundee up for one reason.
Ironically same articles creating controversy around Bundee are praising McKinleys call up for the Italian squad.

Its not illogical as long as the those playing for Ireland are playing in Ireland.Originally posted by Gimmeabreak
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 thousandsComment

The really interesting bit for me is he came to Connacht with no intention to play for Ireland. That’s what marks him out as different. The rest joined provinces on the understanding they’d get a run in the Irish team in 3 years if they were close enough to the standard.Originally posted by Jibzzzz View Post
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 KhanComment

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.Comment

The issue is not so much whether of not 6 units is doing damage, but the ridiculous 30 day window they use. Under that assessment somebody whose drinks 3 pints one day a month is a binge drinker, and has a health risk.Originally posted by Tar.Aldarion View Post
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.

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

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.Comment

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.Comment

Little snippet from a post on boards germane to the proposed 'health' bill.
Meanwhile, the FG TD in my area has on his Facebook page a reminder that his clinics are taking place as always in five different locations.
3 of the 5 are in pubs.
2 of those pubs are his.Comment
