If you buy 5% of me then you give me €50.
You then get 5% of all my winnings, if any.
I may charge €60 for 5% though, if I believe I am better than the average player, which is something 98% of players apparently are.

Saw The Book of Mormon the week before last and thought it was the funniest show I've seen. Was also in The Shakespeare Globe theatre for the first time, albeit the second theatre in it. Lovely to see a small wooden theatre lit by candlelight, although the Jacobian play I saw wasn't good. Going to see Romeo and Juliet in The Globe venue standing as a groundling next month.

I am so jealous ... Never been to the globe. Midsummer Nights dream is my fav Shakespearean Play.
A long time ago I saw the Tempest done by Footsbarn ..they do things rather differently.
I have seen the Book of Mormon but not live just online :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZIFqaqKoBI

PayPal Question.
complete newbie to PP. No account or anything. Someone wants to buy something off me (€500) and has said they will pay me by PayPal and get a courier to collect it and bring it to Poland. Have asked for my paypal account, name, email and mobile. Sounds a bit too good to be true.
Could I be scammed when its me getting the money? How long does it take to be authenticated, can they withdraw the money when goods delivered.
Thanks

Stay safe online by reporting suspicious emails to phishing@paypal.com, being wary of phishing and overpayment scams, and avoiding wiring money to strangers.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostIt's worth standing ground on this one. Nuns should not be running hospitals as they don't believe in best medical practice. There's direct interference in Vincent's, so hard to accept there won't be same in NMH. The dispensary in Vincent's, for example, doesn't dispense the birth control pill. There's presumably little need for them to dispense that, but the point is they don't dispense it because it's against their ethos.
Fck that.
If we break the hospital-religion link with this then it sets the tone going forward, that only medical best practice is allowed inform how hospitals are run, so it's a big win.
It would be the ultimate spit in the eye of the people by Fine Gael.

People need to get some perspective on this.
There is an ideal world where the church has given back all the hospitals and schools and We The People turn out to be competent enough to actually run them properly, that is Far Away and then there is the objective reality that we urgently need a new NMH that is NearTurning millions into thousands

You do understand that the requirement is to build alongside a teaching hospital?
How many babies should die as surgeries are cancelled while we divert the extra 3 - 500M needed to build on a greenfield site?
Lets say the RTE site was a runner and the NMH was to move there and there were minimal cost implications (there aren't) will the campaign set its sights on removing the Archbishop of Dublin from the NMH?
You have the right target in your sights but the wrong bullet in your gun.
This kind of plan would have neutered the Nuns, instead people got hysterical with this moronically wrong headed meme that the Nuns were being going to 'given 300M worth of hospital'. The idea that any nun would ever have been able to direct the ethos of the NMH is ridiculous.

Flew back from Canada overnight. 3 seats between 2 of us as the plane wasn't full so loads of room to spread out.
New born baby directly in front of us. Not a peep out of the nipper throughout the entire flight.
Currently eating sushi, drinking beer, punting on horses I know nothing about that are due to race at Punchestown.

If there is better returns in the long run on going for a greenfield site than go for it. If the current site wont need major redevelopments in the next say 50 years than go for it instead. I would suspect that a new build would be better if viewed over those timescales which it hopefully will be.
Bishops and nuns can be told to fuck off, they might think that they will get a say but they are in no way legally entitled to it - or so is my understanding.
Personally I would say building the hospital on the current site would be great so that they can be publicly told to piss off, nobody cares about their opinions and if they have a problem that they can cry about it at Mass on Sunday where nobody with sense will hear it.
If they move it we can slap an undeveloped land tax on them or they can sell it to build apartments on where unmarried couples will move into. Benefits either way I guessLast edited by RichieM; 25-04-17, 15:13.

Sending the texts was a silly mistake. Boylan had played his hand beautifully. Now he needed to stand back and let it happen and he gets what he wanted as his side has the momentum and the politicians are running scared and the Church has an all time low level of support.
By sending texts it's makes the whole thing an internal political fight etc and takes the religious order and Harris out of the spotlight. Less is more on these things.
Trying to wield the knife and still be besties with the casualties of the move is just massively naive.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

For centuries the Irish people , stateless as they were, paid their taxes to the church rather than the state. They in turn became an integral part of the nascent state. 79% of the population continue to self report as Catholic.
Despite the heartwarming proposals that came out of the citizens forum there is a 0% chance that a referendum that followed them would pass.
Look I agree, its insane that we are having to ask these questions but the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.
Its likely that because of Brexit the status of Northern Ireland is going to be on the table in the next few years and if we are to get any sort of good result from that we must as a state transform ourselves into a country that the British people of Northern Ireland would want to be part of. Even to them it will be more important that there are adequate hospitals in place than who 'on paper' owns them. Not that the ownership question does not need to be addressed but it is far more important and invasive of everyones real lives when we talk about schools.Turning millions into thousands

Presumably they don't do much for the first year, but the key thing is our monthly cost drops from the current nanny at about €500 net a month (cost minus reimbursements) to about €200.
He can then stay in this school (in the unlikely event we were to stay here) all the way up to 18.
You'd surely have an awful sense of dread leaving the school at 18, having known nowhere else for 16 years.

We get a new hospital, the nuns get a piece of paper saying they own the building, we get to run it, the Nuns get no say whatsoever over what does or doesn't happen in the hospital.
Obv this being Ireland and Irish politics being driven by whatever the latest bit of media hype this hospital will disappear down the same hell hole of indecision, infighting and incompetence as the childrens hospital.
Good luck to all of you who will still be turning up in 10 years time to Holles street, which will still be under the ownership of the Archbishop of Dublin, 'hoping against hope'(c.2003 some FF tax dodger) that your wives and children don't need emergency treatment.Turning millions into thousands

The arch bishop can say whatever he wants about how he thinks it has to be run but he can be told to fuck off.
Fortunately Harris actually seems like he is young and competent enough to follow through with telling them thanks for the land now beat it. Being the politician who publicly stands up to the church will have him as leader once the old guard die off - I think he is also savy enough to realise it.
Plenty of other TD's and ministers who would have welcomed the church into the hospital to lock down a few grey votes for the next cycle.

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!.

Love making poached eggs, it's a fine art. I get them right about 40% of the time, but when they're perfect they're worth the 60% loss. Use the vortex method.
Anyway, wife picked me up one of those poached egg makers, the pan with the four plastic bowls that you crack an egg in.
