Stumbled upon a John Coltrane documentary on Netflix. Well worth a spin, though could have left Bill Clinton out. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/cha...e_documentary/

Kingsmill v close to home for me. The attack was in retaliation for the murder of a catholic family wrongly identified by Intelligence services as IRA members. The same people that bombed Dublin went to their house and wiped out half a family. Think there is a documentary about the glenanne gang in development.
Mention that just for historic context, not in any way saying Kingsmill was anything other than abhorrent. The sole survivor played in local snooker league with me a few years ago, very classy guy. Seems to be a policy of kicking the truth down the road with cases like this, and waiting til the people involved pass away.Last edited by mocata; 07-01-18, 22:13.

"As I bent over with a blonde's hand slipping around the top of my thigh, I pondered how there are worse ways to burn calories on a sleepy Thursday evening. Now usually I'd make someone buy me dinner before getting into this position."
Brian O’Driscoll was in full flight celebrating the country’s first Caithreim Mhor in 61 years in a sensational climax to their Six Nations Championship.
All eyes were on the Irish captain as he danced in Reynard’s nightclub.
His ex Glenda Gilson, however, sat in the corner of the club on the periphery of the action. And it was clear she had no interest in her former flame.
Instead her eyes were firmly fixed on the property developer sitting across the table, Johnny Ronan, a man who was to become her beau.
The year was 2009 and Glenda had clearly moved on.
Rosanna Davison sparked an outcry after saying that research that could possibly link gluten to conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, autism and schizophrenia is the subject of hot debate.
Social media went into overdrive. The Twitter hashtag (a device used to follow an online conversation) said it all: "Rosanna in Highest". The message was clear: this girl needs to be taken down a peg or two.
Davison is beautiful, comes from a wealthy family, is well-educated, with a Miss World title under her belt, and now her book has just been published. She's exactly the type of woman some people love to hate.
I witnessed it as a student in UCD. Davison had just won the Miss World crown and a photograph of her smiling brightly was splashed across the front page of the student newspaper, which I was writing for at the time.

Anyone know of a good WW2 podcast? Dan Carlin's WW1 series is excellent, but he doesn't seem to have one on WW2.
I started Ray Harris Jr's one but found some of it a bit off-putting, e.g. in the first episode he repeatedly describes the terms of the Treaty of Versailles as totally reasonable, a few uses of phrases like 'criminals, degenerates and perverts' in descriptions of the early Nazi party etc.
I know the Nazi's are the bad guys etc but I'd prefer something that doesn't editorialise in such a heavy-handed manner.

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Just did something that would have been very unlike me for most of my adult life; I willing bought Quorn Vegetarian Chicken Slices at lunch, along with cheese and rocket, and made a nice sandwich - it honestly tasted pretty much like 'regular' chicken to me!
Ever since watching Okja and seeing the discussion here on animal welfare, etc... I've finally tried to avoid non-free range & organic chicken or pork products, which is impossible if you go for mass-produced pre-made food such as soups and so on.
I'm never going to become a vegetarian but I've honestly had a growing problem with the ethical treatment of the animals we eat, I've tried to ignore the situation for years (and it's less taxing on the pocket to do so) but hearing so much about the miserable life of chickens and pigs is just depressing.
I'm taking as gospel that Irish cows and sheep have fairly decent lives, so won't be changing anything in terms of beef and lamb but am going to actively seek out ethically-sourced pork and chicken in Dublin if I can and experiment with veggie alternatives. Anyone know of decent butchers in the capital, southside if possible?

That's great stuff, good on you. Pigs and chickens definitely have the worst of it and I'd look into what free range actually means for them. The worst thing for beef etc is that we export them to places with worse standards, most are exported dairy calves to be killed as veal so we can say we don't do it here) I'll let you in on a secret, every single vegetarian and vegan has at one point said that they would never be one, see you in a few years. Any step is a good one, the more people like you the better.
I think the real thing that gets people to change is convenience food like that quorn sandwich (there are loads of nicer stuff out there too), most people are like well, that sucks and all but can I be bothered?
Luckily seeing a lot of growth in convenience, this month tesco are releasing all this animal free stuff and I will live like a king, lazily:

Free range is the one that is important for quality of life and potentially organic is actually a negative for outside animals as they may get sick more often? Its not all angel dust.
I heard a woman arguing with a butcher in Donnybrook before demanding organic pork and he said that he has happy pork but no organic pork as farmers shouldn't be raising pigs without anything going into their systems. She was having none of it tho and was full sure she could buy organic pork in Tesco so would go there instead.
Dunnes in donnybrook is the butchers in question and is excellentLast edited by RichieM; 08-01-18, 14:34.

Well, also moved from free-range eggs to organic recently, as I know the organic status is more ethical than free-range in terms of number of chicken per square meter, where they roam, etc... Hopefully the extra few cent (and it is only a few cent) per egg is worth it and not just great marketing from the organic producers
*Ah, see it is indeed more complicated than that as Richie says above

I buy all my meat for cooking from a butcher and blindly presume that they are buying better treated animals than Tesco. Helps that it tastes way better.
Lunch stuff for during the week comes from supermarkets in packages so I imagine comes from all sorts of places.

Free-range and organic are pretty much both a farce but still they are better than the alternative. Your best bet would be buying eggs from a farmers market. Most people that don't buy them from there are just concerned with what happens to the males in the industry (thrown in blenders shortly after birth)

With the Bafta results now out, it looks like I've seen most of the films already:
Three Billboards outsibe Ebbing,Missouri: classy entertaining drama with some fantastic acting
Coco: it's no "Book of life" but solid effort by Pixar to play with the day of the dead
Ladybird: Meh, coming of age movie, which meanders a bit too much. just like the teenagers it represents, it's a bit waffly.
I, Tonya: Quirky depiction of Tonya Harding and "that" incident. If anything it may just be a bit too long, but is highly enjoyable the whole way through.
The shape of water: Pure class. really enjoyed this one. just bizarre enough for Del Toro, but beautifully shot and a great love story.

I'm not sure if the volatility is higher or not. In the case that it is not it just appears to be since the numbers are so large. If it goes from $10 -> $12 -> $10 it doesn't seem as much as when that is 10000 -> 12000 ->10000 but it is the same percentage change.
If it is more volatile it's because of the huge increase in popularity, that's bound to destabilize things, millions of people entering the market. It's pretty much in it's infancy even though it's nearly a decade old.

The money trying to get in though is still huge. All the major exchanges Kraken, Binance, Bitfinex etc had to stop taking new customers this week due to the volume of accounts being created.
