Considering it was a red eye flight, felt like I won the lotto.
Now need to work out how to get these free upgrades again in the future
If you figure out how to get them again please share as I don't know how I will ever travel transatlantic again in the cheap seats.

FFS!
There is a lorry on fire Southbound at Citywest causing a severe tailback to the M50 but Why the fuck should that be causing a 20 mile tailback past Naas on the other side? I'll tell you why ... because you are all fucking morons who shouldn't be allowed drive.
Self driving cars is going to turn out to have been a giant prank getting my hopes up in vain , isn't it?

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostI think its more correctly used for a system of names, rather than a singular name. Hence my initial doubt. E.g. your system of naming lanes on a motorway might be: shoulder, slow lane, regular lane, fast lane. So that would be the nomenclature for motorway lanes. Not sure it works that you would have a single nomenclature of e.g. fast lane, as it doesn't speak to the naming system you are using.
^^^ bizarely the above is not the most boring thing I've written today
nomenclature
nə(ʊ)ˈmɛŋklətʃə,ˈnəʊmənˌkleɪtʃə/Submit
noun
the devising or choosing of names for things, especially in a science or other discipline.
"the Linnean system of zoological nomenclature"
the body or system of names used in a particular specialist field.
plural noun: nomenclatures
"the students found it hard to decipher the nomenclature of chemical compounds"
formal
the term or terms applied to someone or something.
"‘customers’ was preferred to the original nomenclature ‘passengers’"May you live in interesting times!

No wonder Denny's favourite orange buffoon was obsessed with lying to convince people that there were tremendous crowds at the commemoration of the death of democracy or as he preferred to call it his inauguration, he raised $107M to pay for it! The surplus is supposed to go to charity and this is more than double any previous inauguration fund so there will be plenty of funds to distribute.
So much that it is going to be a bit tricky for the scumbag to do his usual trick of pocketing all the profits from the so called charity gigs he gets involved in.Turning millions into thousands

What you are looking for is "more accurately", but "more correctly" is acceptable. Much like partially correct is valid, everything has degrees.

There's nothing inherently wrong with describing something as "more correct" when you are using it in a relative sense. For example:
"He was right to say that moon starer is an anagram of astronomer, however it would
Be more correct to say that it was an aptagram".
In that example there is a relativity.
However where the object described as being "correct" is absolute then, strictly speaking, it would be wrong to describe any given answer as more or less correct since it relates to an absolute.
For example:
2+2= 4 is neither more nor less correct than 2+2=2*2
Although they are both correct and both different they relate to an absolute and therefore cannot be either more or less correct.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Up ahead near the 2nd roundabout for someone who cant get somewhere fast enough she chooses a lane unwisely and I go past on the other. She must be turning right after the roundabout I thought. A little ahead on the N3 I look im my mirror and notice shes bombing up again and as luck happened theres a slow coach I spot ahead of me who i catch up with. Shes wise to the move and tries to beat me too it but its too late for her i step on it catch the slow coach thwarting her move and shadow the car at 60kph for the
remainder of the stretch with the cavalcade stacking up by half way!. Her behind me(almost on my bumper) mock laughing 'ok ok you got me good'. Felt like going on and letting her out a couple times but felt stronger that i needed to teach her a lesson when i cast my mind back to getting the middle finger and ive always been a revengous bastard so why change now. So stood firm leading the cavalcade right to the Malahide rd. She fell on her own petard!.

I'm sure it's not directly caused by it but I think the lack of liability is definitely an issue. Car insurance isn't compulsory and even when you do get it, there is no personal liability, it's simply the car that is insured not the driver. Teenagers driving around in 3l Nissan Skylines etc, incredible amount of accidents on 50km/h roads.

whatever about screaming g kids etc. I was on a plane back from Austria years ago sitting beside the famous Gary Clarke when the plane started dropping straight down , then flying then dropping again. As a nervous flyer I was freaking it inside. Guy in the seat in front says. I'm an ex pilot and this is not good. STFU you are not helping. Turns out the pilots were saving fuel a practice that was later deemed illegal. Give me screaming kids anytime. I need the distraction. Funny though small planes don't bother me I just sweat up on the big ones .

I got sick about 4 times on the plane coming home from a Che-Pool match once (was on the rip for 2 full days). Luckily I had the 3 seats for myself, and would have been fine if the cabin crew hadn't woken me for landing, but the poor girl across the way nearly puked herself when she saw me. God knows what I looked like walking through the airport
Give me screaming kids any day.
