      I will take a small bet with you on it. My bet over 37.9% to keep the 8th. You on the under?

        Boy is on Blaklion (favourite so he must be the best)
        Daughter no 2 is on Children's List (because she remembers backing those pink Ricci colours at Fairyhouse last year and winning loots)
        Wife is on Vieux Lion Rouge for reasons unspecified

          Yeah, exactly.

          So the legal paradigm is boxed in by very strict professional regulations, meaning Canada's abortion regime actually results in fairly normal outcomes (vast bulk of abortions are in first trimester).

            I should know this, but what date is the referendum?

              Who defines the genetic reasons? I am against a State eugenics programme was tried before in the 40s by a country not so far from here.

                      Two cups in. Freshly ground espresso coffee (Ethiopian Guji beans for extra wanker points).

                      I wet the filter as per the sage advice. One thing I do notice is, if I fill to the 2 mark, about a third to half actually flows through to the mug before I start plunging.

                      Is this normal?

                      Coffee tastes lovely btw, smooth and 'de-acidified'.

                          I disagreeing with people staying at home, should have been clearer.

                            Even RDIII wouldn't be that blatant about trying to get a bet at ridiculous odds.

                              I bet you I would.

                                  ADULT film star Stormy Daniels has been reportedly killed last night in a US led airstrike in Syria, WWN can confirm. The controversial porn actress had apparently travelled to the middle eastern country on Thursday in …

                                    From my Twitter feed (I try to have a decent number of people I often disagree with on there) it seems opinion is very split on the Syria bombing in a different way to the pro-/anti-Trump sides on seemingly every issue for the past year and a half.

                                    Opinion on whether Assad carried out the chemical weapon attack seems very heavily weighted towards the no side.

                                      I think the retaliation is nonsense. Feels like WMDs all over. Frequently forgotten that the rebels in Syria are a detestable lot, accepting Assad is a brutal dictator.

                                          Anyone read the Irish Times weekend Review piece on O’Brien and INM? Feels like this should have major repercussions. What am I missing?

                                            'It's the oil, stupid' seems like a handy summary of conflict in the last 80 years.

                                                  I don’t really want to be around the aftermath of a ‘No’ win. My partner is extremely passionate about this as are all the females I know - and rightly so. If I’m honest, a No vote could be the thing that forces me out of the country. Would be a damning indictment of where we are in our national path away from being under the thumb of the pope.

                                                      I understand that, but it quotes extensively from the affidavit submitted by the Director of Corporate Enforcement. The content undermines our democracy imo.

                                                        New stuff coming out about possible recordings/more payments to Playboy models etc how does it all fall?

                                                          That episode felt so contrived, one thing I've always liked about the show is that it didn't seem to fuck about with it too much and interfere but this felt a bit crappy, Chris gets an advantage when he's in dire need oh how lucky

                                                          Actually kinda thought it might not be a bad spot to go after your woman Libby and the leave the other two just going after each other.

                                                                And make sure the other people you refer to are registered in a convenient constituency for May25th and subsequently make the effort to vote.

                                                                  It's actually for exact opposite reasons.

                                                                    Always thought it was due to a selfish desire not to catch bugs or virus', so had a negative impression of people doing it.

                                                                    It's actually for exact opposite reasons.

                                                                    People wear the masks so they don't spread THEIR bugs and virus'.

                                                                    What beautiful collectivist thinking.

                                                                    Sound bunch of lads.

                                                                    No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

                                                                                        Losing weight is easy with motive. If they literally just need to be under 10% body fat and no other composition metrics I reckon they are faves. All they have to do is not eat.

                                                                                        Something like 10% and 250lbs total weight would be hard.

I'd imagine going into finals & the summer series Sexton will play a lot and then his time will be managed carefully leading into next 6 nations & world cup. Look at the impact Mackenzie made in Super Rugby the last 2 years and compare it to his NZ impact, I'd say Dmac is a lot better than Joey and they struggle to get the best out of him at 10.

                                                                                                            The other thing to consider is the ROG Sexton competition way back when, where does Joey compare to a younger sexton?

In fact I'd say its a deliberately false story planted to discredit the investigation. Plant a story thats easily disproven and then use the disproving of it to prove that Mueller is running on nothing. You just can't visit a country and there be no record of it so it would be such a stupid thing to lie about and Cohen is far from stupid.
