...Barcelona's unbeaten season has gone to shite... Just conceded twice in first 5 minutes of 2nd half... 4-1 down, and they'll need a Messi miracle...

There'll be no Messi miracle cos he's not even in the squad

[luckforsome]

There'll be no Messi miracle cos he's not even in the squad

...That'll explain why I haven't heard his name much since I turned it on... Anyway, 5-1 now and it's well over... Barcelona can't defend for shite...

[luckforsome]

...Wowser, game back on... 5-3!!!...

[Lazare]

I think it shows just how big he really is when every other golfer is wearing pink today and Tiger says nah I'm going to wear red, deal with it.

I think they're forced to wear pink because red is Tiger's colour.

...Hahaha... 5-4 now, this is unreal!!!...Come on Barca!!!...

5-4. Just a hattrick for Coutinho and a penalty for jaws

lol, it was in reality hilarious, tis all about delivery. I posted this years ago to the same reaction here so I'm not bovvered obv. I used it 2nd wedding due to the reaction and worked a treat. Anyway, I'm well aware its 2018 and it's a blizzard of snowflakes but sure good luck to ye, tis a serious ol business weddings. I sang a dirty song in the bar later too, terrbile carry on. Love a wedding especially the mass. Not helping ye anymore lads. Mick, hope your own wedding wasnt fucked up by a Mike Bolloxs type, where was my invite ?


Hope Webb collapses and tiger wins here, the internet will break.
btw Gentleman Jack is superb stuff, my last bit of advice to ye tipplers, try it.

Joe Holliers await.

Ah I told it before. Won a holiday to Seychelles off Lite FM in 2002. We were fairly broke, at the time it was wedding or gaff, had friends spending 30k on weddings then.

Decided to get hitched over there, on the relative cheap so we could buy a home. Told nobody but her Mam and my Dad, he was living in New York at the time, I visited him that summer.

Rang my Mam the morning of the wedding, she was so shocked she asked me was I pregnant.

Met a honeymoon couple the night before while boozing and they were our witnesses, drank with them until the early hours. Wedding was 3pm in fairness. Still in contact.

Got married on a beautiful deserted beach with coconut trees bending down into the water. Pale turquoise water.

Beach was called Baia Lazare.

Why didn't you have a church wedding?

2 through 5 are removed and the hand rankings are a little different, a flush is higher than a full house and 3 of a kind is higher than a straight. The rest is played out like standard Texas holdem.

What a week for Israel so far. Proof Europe's most liberal have no problem with them in the Eurovision vote. Now the embassy move. One of their football teams has even added President Trump's name to their name.

[Jibzzzz]

on the bus back to San Sebastian, plenty of singing.

Less said about that game, the better. In defence of both teams, the weather was shit!

Thousands of Clermont fans showing the big heart. Racing a sham and a scam of a 'club'. Another Saracens imo, <2,000 fans in the stadium which was overwhelmingly Leinster. Even the grudging Munster fans.

Not even the most shook looking Leinster fans grabbing the last flight out of Madrid. Although that could be more to do with the outrageously good lunch we packed for the train trip. Mainly consisting of pork products, goat cheese, olives and bottles of cold Abarino.

Tomorrow will be long. The Longest Day.

Opinion on San Seb? Plan on spending a few days there pre or post BBK festival.

Bilbao is a fantastic little town, really really enjoyed it and couldn't be happier to be returning in 8 weeks. Apart from the borefest that was the match it was a fucking fantastic weekend and delighted I went. Luckily we had the excitement of the challenge cup game.

Flights to Santander, match ticket and accom ending up working out at <€500 which was great considering how late we left it.After spending 5 nights in Puerto Banus the week before it was great to get 3 drinks for the price of 1.

Mortgage draw down and money handover for house purchase supposed to be going through today.

Probably going to be a stressful couple of days between picking out toasters that match kettles and whatnot. Very much hoping we get the keys as planned tomorrow or early Wednesday so the logistical house of cards I've organised can stay upright.

Will be a nice change working for the bank for the next couple of decades. Using my one time for a period of sustained global economic prosperity and job security. Probably one of the more altruistic one times we've had here over the years tbf

With all this rugby talk, went and bought tix for next years final in Newcastle. Great deal tbh, same seat for the 2 finals on Friday and Saturday for £85.

The promise of an election soon after the ref would sway some No voters.

If you're sick of it all now, you may want to move abroad for an election campaign if it's repealed. Won't be any other issue debated.

Sway voters to No or away from Nó?

[Strewelpeter]

FF won't want an election fought on the failings of successive governments to get on top of the HSE problem, at least until the heat has gone out of this one because no one who has been in government in the last 30 years has managed to get the better of it.
If you were to accept Denny's maxim that facts don't matter and emotions are all that counts, listening to Mary Lou and RTE you would believe that Simon Harris and Leo had been going around giving women cancer.
There are a lot of facts about the operation program to be established most crucially the numbers for false negatives from the different labs involved.

Something that no one seems to be willing to say is that if you go back and audit the smears from patients who were subsequently diagnosed with cervical cancer within three years you are going to get close to 100% retrospective categorisation of those tests as false negatives. The most important question then is the scale of human error there was in those readings. Someone is going to have to stand up at some point and deal with the reality that if the every single false negative is to be treated as a criminal matter and deserving of a multimillion compensation/ damages then there will be no choice but to close down the program completely.

[Lazare]

Sway voters to No or away from Nó?

Sway to Yes.

The problem with a lot of No voters is they've been mislead. Most have no idea that legislation needs to be debated and passed.

When I've explained this to some their answer is they can't trust current politicians. One said to me that he'd vote Yes if he knew there was going to be an election before legislation was passed.

Hmm that's an optimistic view on your side. I would see it as opposite more uncertainty means you have no idea what will come out in legislation in the end. Maybe even in the Canadian model.

Any element of doubt should fall to No.

[DeadParrot]

Any element of doubt should fall to No.

I honestly don't see how that's realistic.
If anything the opposite is the case.
If you generally err on the No side, if you can conceivably imagine ANY scenario, even one outlandish mad one that sees abortion as an understandable and justifiable viewpoint you have to vote yes.
The way is framed currently means that there is no creating legislation, there is no working around it or putting more effort in, no edge case provisions. It's effectively closing the door on the future, again.

The decision for the voters is the one or two extreme cases vs thousands of aborted babies. Will be an interesting result.

San Sebastian is superb. Like in my top 3 of 'best cities'. Bilbao is a bit of a kip by comparison. Although the cold\wet, Wayne Fucking Barnes and shit rugby didn't help. Did have an epic meal after the game in La Barraca.

Beautiful beaches, buildings, food, atmosphere, well-sized. We got a really good airbnb which sealed the deal. Ferry to Santander might get usage next year for a family holiday.

Had this conversation, on a different topic, with people this weekend.

'of course, Leo Varadkar's very right wing'

me: ' really? what's he done that's so right wing?'

them:' ehhhhh'

Perception really is everything. It's like calling a politician 'arrogant' or 'out of touch'. It means nothing.

No I was only looking out of interest - I honestly wouldn't have a clue how places should be priced up. I would barely trust myself to spot a good gaa bet these days (luckily people still text me looking for my opinion so I come across plenty)!

I did think there were a surprising number of heavy favourite pro-repeal constituencies but again that's based on no expertise whatsoever. A thought that occurred to me was that repeal in Roscommon-Leitrim was likely to be underpriced as you could imagine people making a big effort there not oto be on the wrong side twice if you know what I mean, but not something I'd bother betting on either.

Just a couple of days delay with the draw down due to stupid issue with the direct debit mandates. Still hoping to be in by end of the week but have to try and rearrange things with our landlord, getting stuff delivered to the new place etc.

In fairness the whole process hasn't been all that bad so if we get it all sorted this week we'll consider ourselves fairly lucky.

No Dublin constituency higher than 1.02 for yes.
