Class goal for Arsenal

Well fought win for Arsenal. Looking forward to the final.

I got given an Amazon voucher for £300.

Any suitably frivolous recommendation for blowing this loot?

whiskey

I decided to take this advice so bought a bottle of Oban 14 year off Amazon. Never really ever been into Scotch (or indeed whiskey generally) and would drink Irish by default on the rare occasion that I have a dram.

Just arrived (under plain packaging, sailed through Parcel Motel ). Damn, that is smooth. Richie may well have just launched a new addiction.

[DeadParrot]

Sounds like you are DevOps now......... which means they can assign you to anything IT related.

No wonder IT security it the fastest growing segment of the industry.

Fire off some OpenVAS scans there while you are at it.

haha been there done that. Ending up doing pen tests on the network when I first got there.
actually thats a good idea for the new site
nice one

It's my dream to have one of these stocked with fine irish whiskeys


have a few I'm holding back (midleton from year daughter was born etc) , but other than that lack the discipline to build up a collection

Dunno what article it was from, it was just a quote of a passage on twitter.
There's a few from that age that are revered, like Berkeley Library, think Lovin Dublin did a run down of their favourite ones.

Some from the period are very good. Le Corbusier is one of the most decorated architects of the 20th century and was particularly fond of brutalist.

But there's lots of really bad examples too, like that shopping centre, brutal.

I believe he is saying that the universal laws of demand and supply don't apply in the magical lawless kingdom of Ireland.

He said the increasing supply won't bring down prices and then contradicted himself by saying that if the Government builds more houses, then housing will be more affordable.

Surely that's clear enough for all to follow and irrefutable logic?

[Tar.Aldarion]

I didn't read the article at all but that could mean that supplying new houses to the market randomly won't lower prices due to the overwhelming demand that will still exist.
Government building more houses can be different as they can offer them on affordable schemes for certain people.


He most likely did not mean any of this and is thick

[Emmet]

Surely 'moderating price increases' is reducing prices?

[Strewelpeter]

Surely 'moderating price increases' is reducing prices?

No because increasing something means making it more than it was before and reducing means making it less than it was before therefore if a price increases it is not reduced.
Hope this helps

[Raoul Duke III]

Neighbour two doors up has a dwelling built at the bottom of their garden. Grand, don't really have a problem with that.

The tenant there seems to have acquired a dog. On Tuesday night it barked continuously and very loudly from 3am until I left the house at 8am.
I can see it at the door of the dwelling. It's inside.

Today, I am working at home and it's been going continuously since 8am.

Nobody at home (think my neighbour is away, he's often travelling) and no sign of the tenant. What's my play? DSPCA?

Left him a note anyway:

The dog that you own has been at the door of your place and barking continuously since early this morning. It also barked non-stop since 3am on Wednesday night.

1. The dog is clearly very distressed which is unfair
2. You are also disturbing many of your neighbours both during the night and during the day – which is equally unfair

Please resolve this immediately or we will be forced to contact the DSPCA and the Gardai

I had this problem for a while but either I got used to it or dog isn't barking anymore. Who leaves their dog out all night?
I was recommended to put a bit of rat poison in a doggy treat if it persisted

That's a horrible cowardly suggestion. Attach testicles to self then deal with it like Adult by going to root cause, ie the owner.

The thing is a whole mess of people live in the middle where they wouldn't qualify as one of the 'certain people' and yet cannot afford the current prices (at least where they would like to live).

Left him a note anyway:

Guards/DSPA generally won't care as long as the dog has shelter (the shed at bottom of garden is fine) and food (???). Being left alone for a day or neighbours disturbed by barking isn't something that'll concern them.

Am I not getting something about the proposed Govt Mortgage scheme or is it not absolutely prime to be gamed?

Consider a graduate accountant / lawyer earning something from 30k-40k p/a 2-4 years into their graduate programme.

Under the Govt scheme they just need to go get bounced twice in 12 months for the absolute max, and then apply for the Govt preferential rates 'safe in the knowledge' that upon completion of their graduate contract, they will have no problem paying the mortgage. It's an astoundingly good deal for someone who 'can see' a pay bump up the road no?

I've a brother 8 months into a graduate scheme, and I'm pretty confident that he would be able to get on this scheme, and absolutely absolutely should not be the kind of person that the scheme is supposed to help!

From reading on boards over the years the attitude of the DSPCA is that they aren't worried about neighbours, they only care if an animal is being mistreated. Shelter and food are generally basic signs that there is no mistreatment issue.

Guards will listen to a complaint and type it up on their invisible computer.

Obviously there are various control of dogs acts and noise pollution laws but unlikely you'll get any help from authority and would have to do it all yourself.

Hopefully however the neighbours will address the problem when you bring it to their attention. They may not be aware of it at all.
Its terribly annoying, theres a backgarden dog on my street who fucking howls for 2 hours every dawn but because he has some sort of kennel and is clearly well fed there's nothing much can be done.

Pretty much exactly what I thought of, earlier in your career the better for this scheme. So every single new grad can go for it but people a few years in are fucked.

Its a limited scheme that will be administered by the County Councils. I would imagine that, whether acknowledged or not, they will carry on just as they do today in their current mortgage scheme giving preference to people already on their housing lists.
So unless the scheme is very much undersubscribed it will be hard to get approval for the likes of your Bro, though it will definitely be worth trying and using whatever angles work to get in on it.

It was initially poker, now a mutiny would likely result in many different IrishINTERESTHEREBoards.
