It seems the adults have removed the phone from the president's pudgy little fingers to prevent him explaining how it is crooked hillary's fault Roseanne is being misunderstood by failing fake news.
Hopefully someone will get another burner to him before the day is over.Turning millions into thousands

Howdy folks
Back on the Rock after a few days in Donegal. Was delighted to be in Ireland on the day the result was announced. Shocked at the amount of No posters everywhere and very little yes. I heard it was a tighter vote in DL than I thought. There must be some normal people.
Everyone of my friends I saw were all Yes supporters anyway. There was a lot of chat and you did feel you needed to keep the voice down as you didn't know who was listening. My friend who owns a cafe didnt post a thing in case the folks in Donegal that were in the No camp boycotted her business!
I did enjoy the debates over the last while, I feel Jack helped keep it all going, and I am not meaning in a bad way. It is always good to see anothers thinking. Hope who ever was being a mean cunt to him just puts him on ignore and doesn't scare him away!
Had 3 child free days, which was just amazing. Murder mystery night was amazing fun. 5 course dinner and the whole act played between courses. Didn't guess the murderer right, but still had lots of fun!
Stayed at the beautiful Shandon Hotel on Monday night, the Marbles restaurant, which is newly opened was amazing. Anyone thinking of a trip should def stay here. I saw the new rooms that are opening this week. Beautiful and so affordable.
A relaxing day before my flight home in the Spa at the hotel Full body massage then the thermal spa. Can't beat it!
Here is the website
This Donegal hotel & spa overlooks the beautiful Sheephaven Bay and is located on the Wild Atlantic Way. Each BEDROOM has a spectacular view of the sea.
The views are stunning. All the original rooms (Hotel is 2 years old) have sea views. There are now a few budget rooms that look out the back which is still nice but not the sea. They are beautiful, and tbh, who cares about a sea view when you going to your pit at night!
The weather was great for the whole time I was there, my hayfever was back with a vengeance though.
Great trip but very glad to be back home on my wee rock

Anyone know where the Du Plantier house is on Google maps?
No i'm not looking to go down and turn a sad place into an attraction. Although i'm sure many have.
After listening to the Podcast, i'm just interested in how remote it was. The google maps tours attached to the Serial Podcast were cool. I'm sure a similar one to that would get a load of clicks.

I remember watching the RTE documentary about it last year and being shocked at how little evidence there seemed to be connecting Ian Bailey to it. Kept waiting for a 'gotcha' that never materialised.

Re: road bike
I'm going to spin down home to have a look at this one:
The brakes and tyres don't review particularly well but for the brakes at least upgrading the calipers sounds like a cheap and easy fix. I presume it would be similar with the tyres.
I would imagine a trek would be a bit easier to move on in a couple of months than one of the Halfords bikes or whatever.

The ineptitude of the Gardai as everything unfolded should be staggering. Although not overly surprising to Irish people who have grown up with the "Woah there Horsey' Gardai.

Been commuting via bike for 7 years in Dublin. A very expensive bike for a Dublin commute is a waste imo. Job has moved to Stoneybatter and i can't get over the state of the roads. It's like going back in time. Very harsh on the bike. I've gone through 4 bikes in the 7 years. One Stolen. A car squashed the other one and the other two just fell to shite. All within the 600 - 1k range.

I have plenty of friends in cork. I asked them and everyone thinks he done it. No idea if they have looked into it.

The constituency called Donegal had a No Vote, but some of the counties bigger southern towns like Bundoran and Ballyshannon are in the 'Sligo/Leitrim' constituency.

I know you can get a 30 day trial but I'm too forgetful.
I signed up, downloaded the pods to my phone, used my free token on the MASSIVE Tiger book I would have never read in paper form and cancelled the next day, Bish bash bosh. I'm a technophobe so if i could manage it, will be a piece of piss for you.
I strongly recommend you do it as the podcast is excellent.
For those who have listened/know the case;
SPOILERI was sure it was Bailey after a few eps, but as soon as the shop owner that was having the affair changed her story and admitted she didn't see him that night I lost all confidence in my opinion. To me it just must be whoever she saw that night. I don't think a local did it as surely there would have been some physical evidence somewhere? My thoughts would be someone from her life in France.
As for Bailey I think he just loves the notoriety of it all and plays up to the media. he clearly has some form of Autism/Ausbergers.
Also LOL the Guards.

Looks quite similar to mine:

Originally posted by Lazare View PostThey're not endemic. I think catholic schools should number in and around the same as other religious schools, with no state involvement, and should have every right to choose their pupils based on baptism, once every child has a choice to a local school.

This is the great thing about the referendum result, you came out guns blazing talking about how you were going to fight it every step of the way. I think you have bigger fights coming your way.

It's a real shame as we have no interesting in baptising the child (wife was never baptised and Im definitely a "paper" catholic). However we know for a fact our preferred school is currently using baptism as a selection criteria... so... playing the game it is... stupid stupid wasteful game.May you live in interesting times!
