******THIS IS NOT A TIP******

There's a horse running in the first race in Naas today @2:05 that 72over used to look after in France, Zoffanyia. Just an FYI, I'm on it big but that's only because the fucker would haunt me for the rest of my days if it won and I didn't lump! It could be a donkey! But sure we've had a bit of craic backing it last night and this morning whether it comes in or finishes last!

Run good horse!

******THIS IS NOT A TIP******

Expecting a good run this evening. I don't care too much about the loots I've put on but my mother is going to to Sligo with the owner to watch the race, so for her sake I hope it pisses in! She ran an impressive 2nd last time out and expected to like the longer trip. One time yo!

People are fucking idiots.

So me dad was moved to Tallaght over the weekend as Tallaght are best for dealing with his pelvic injuries. Surgery was scheduled for 3pm yesterday. It was cancelled at around 4 as he's developed pneumonia and it caused quite a few complications. We were only told this at 8.50pm (he was due back on his ward at 9 originally) when we checked for the 5th time progress. We were sitting in a waiting room for hours told he was in surgery. Spoke to an on call guy (lovely dude) and he apologied profusely for his teams lack of communication and gave me updates for what's gonna happen over the next few days.
I've been updating family and friends over fb and each time stressed not to call me dad. Just as well I took his phone home from icu (docas ward I think) as he can't really talk as it is.
Of course his phone is ringing all morning from people wanting to offer advice and opinions.

Crystal Cruises have a 108 night Miami to Monaco cruise (sailing west) that looks class. Hoping to blow the pension lump sum on something similar some fine day.

there's a 120 night worldwide cruise (I posted about it here before) costs around €18k per person but if you watch for it you can normally get a 2 for 1 deal. Still haven't pulled the trigger on it but it's a potential goer.

[Keane]

I'm sure I have heard before about people in their older years spending pretty much twelve months of the year on cruise ships in preference to nursing homes.

[Strewelpeter]

The Trump enablers and cheerleaders must be feeling so proud of themselves today because ripping toddlers from the arms of their parents and sending them off in trains to live in cages is so much winning.

Time to stand up and be counted or to accept that you are just a cloaborator

Hardly a mention of the cartoonist who was fired for not treating him with the same respect little rocket man gets at home.

Auctioneer called to say we had been outbid but there was only 1 other party involved now. I rang back to give it one more bump as our final.
2 doors down sold in Jan for 5% less and is in nicer condition(same sqft) so I think the difference is closer to 10-12%.
Kildare is projected to increase by 8% in 2018 so seems fair enough to stop there.

If you factor in the negative consequences of ASBO types like GAB and V buying into the county, you'll undoubtedly get a better deal in 12 months time!

Joking aside, supply of (used) stock seems to be increasing in middle class areas of Dublin. Like the 600-900k bracket. Wonder if the lending restrictions are causing a softening in demand?

They're all selling to live in retirement villages in Carlow and Laois or cruise the world!!

Well as far as lending restrictions go, GF received a phone call a few weeks ago from a mortgage broker who she visited a few months ago to inform her that PTSB had reduced their minimum exception gross salary from 50k to 40k(GF is primary teacher) so she was likely to be accepted now.
We got sorted in the meantime so it was fine but assuming that is true, perhaps they are softening their criteria.

Personally, as someone who has been looking at new houses, I think the HTB scheme is being overvalued by new buyers.
Obviously certain situations call for it where people can't get the deposit but I know people who could afford not to use it but view it as free money while my mentality is that you're essentially entering into negative equity in many instances.
The house I'm referring to is 12% cheaper than the new build 300 yards away and 200 sqft larger.
Air to water, new appliances, generally new is nice but I don't think it's worth a 12% increase given difference in energy costs equate to 800-1k a year.
Obviously the negative equity doesn't matter to first time buyers but if you can avoid it, I think you can certainly pick up value.

[Tar.Aldarion]

When they say exception, what kind of exception do banks give instead of the 3.5? A multiplier too or whatever they want, are there rules on it?

Also I imagine with less exceptions most people won't be buying in the 600k-900k range!

Not FTBs. Thinking trader-uppers here, but my point is that they will start getting impacted by the lending restrictions too.

What I gather is each bank has a certain amount of exceptions they can give at their own discretion. Perhaps that is done regionally, occupation or another measure.
Interestingly, the mortgage broker also mentioned she had her own unique exceptions, I'm unsure if that comes directly from central bank or individual institutions but they exist.

The exception appears to be minimum salary, public servants seem ideal candidates as their salary increases are as close to guaranteed as possible so if they're only a few years from the required salary, it would appear as relatively safe bet.

If you really need to be in a Nursing Home then you wouldn't be able for cruises and they wouldn't be able to care for you. May be a fair comparison to Retirement Villages or independent living etc.

[RichieM]

hey - easy on the negative cage terminology you commie.

They look like walls with higher than usual levels of ventilation - due to the high temperatures around the boarder correct air circulation is very important.

[Ed]

FYI - most cruise ships have a mortuary fridge with capacity for 4 bodies.

There was a good louis theroux article a couple of years back about how much cruises try to cover up just how many deaths/disappearances they have

They were not meant for public servants tho - its meant to be used for commission and bonus earners like myself.

The increase in earnings is very easy to plot for civil servants but the pay increases pretty much keep up with inflation so the actual improvement in situation is not very big.

[Strewelpeter]

They are fucking cages where small children who have been taken away from their parents by thugs with guns who are just following the orders of a petulant fool of a fucking manchild being directed by his fucking twitter rage.

Is it not pretty standard to separate men from women from children in detention all round the world.

Is it not pretty standard for boarder patrols all around the world to be armed.

Are you expecting people to be chased into 5 star resorts by feather duster wielding elves. I don't really see where the outrage is tbh. If it is that deportation sucks than yes I guess so.

[Lazare]

You really should vent your frustration in another direction. You are doing the equivalent of a vegan shouting at meat eaters. As a starting point surely a better plan would be to pick up the phone to your local TD.

There's a protest outside the embassy on Thurs at 5pm. Gonna try make it.

Should be one outside Doonbeg imo.

They're asylum seekers. They were dealt with humanely up until two weeks ago.

It's absolutely outrageous to see toddlers screaming and crying in terror, and parents with no contact with them.

This is cuntish behaviour from a western democracy.

You're either trolling SP or there's something wrong with you.

This has little to do with immigration this is about a miscalculated scheme to use the torture of children to satisfy his twitter rage and score cheap political points.
