Boylan resigned from the NMH board, its a shame he feels he can't continue to work to ensure that the hospital is constituted in the best way possible in the circumstances.

The best thing that could happen now is that we get it built and opened ASAP. If at some stage he was to be proven right and the Nuns were to try to impose their morality on the operations that would actually be a good thing because they can be taken out publicly rather than in the quiet and effective way that is happening now.

Fly to Milan and you could take a run up towards the mountains pick up the meat order for us

Should be able to organise a factory tour for you.

Was gonna do faro but have just booked Krakow instead.

So other than the obvious trip to a death camp what should be on my agenda?

Salt mines is an excellent trip as well, jut 30 minutes outside Krakow.

Some incredible stuff down there. e.g., a miners church 150 metres underground with LdVs The Last Supper carved out of a salt wall.

We did a walking tour around the city for about two hours and found it very enjoyable.

Had dinner at Cyrano de Bergerac and thought it was Michelin Star quality and came to about €100 for three course, a bottle of red and two glasses of bubbles.

That's still going to be ~15% more than they pay in Ireland realistically.

That isn't correct though, was she not speaking out about bullies who were using a racial slur against her son? Surely to say the N word as an explanation goes a long way to show how horrible it was, rather than saying the N word just like that?

Here is what my friend who has a mixed race child said.

"Katie did NOT use the word to harm, insult or belittle anyone, she was giving a frank interview about the online bullying directed at her disabled son and was giving examples of what he has been called. People are screaming that she should have abbreviated it...why?? Did the bully abbreviate it? I highly doubt someone send her a message telling her that her son was a "Fat Black Blind N-word"
Yes it is shocking to hear - but in all honesty her story and her fight against online trolls and bullys would not have the same impact if she diluted to words to make them more acceptable to your palette."

I agree.
I don't think she ever wanted to hurt anyone with those words. It's misplaced energy to direct criticism at her in this case.

Every child is equal. And she standing up against the usage of such words. I think she has an earthy way of putting it. It takes a lot of guts for a parent to stand up to such people. They need our support when they do.

Work are going above and beyond with my phone. They provide me with phones and unlimited use anywhere, and now we are switching to vodafone, they said if my signal is weak anywhere they will be giving me a femtocell. I have never used my phone for anything work related. I'm not even sure why this is in place. Sure I'll take a base station!
Giving every staff member stuff like this must cost a bomb.

Got a warning from revenue today saying they asked me to return my taxes for 2015 and that I haven't (never got a letter), and that they have evidence of "activities" that I have taken part in. Now to figure out wtf I was up to in 2015.

Ahhhhhhh! Linked Finance! I think I signed up in 2015 and have never checked back on any loans whoops! That means I'll have to do a return every year, feck.

Even for me tofu is a last resort (apart from miso soup), I like one brand in all of Ireland, just sold in Dunnes. The others need to be pressed/frozen and defrosted, ain't nobody got time for that.

Schlinders factory is fascinating in Krakow.

It was originally a private company started by three Jewish entrepreneurs. When Germany invaded poland they took over as trustees, Oskar Schindler used German forces as a power of trustee to take over receivership. He made a sub camp for his workers from the Kraków-Płaszów camp (notorious for it's horrors) and made sure they never ever came into contact with Guards. He was registered to make ammunition shells so he would be classed as imperative to the war effort. But few if any were made and when the Arms ministry questioned his low output he would bribe them. Besides his own workers he arranged for 3000 Jewish women from Auschwitz to be transported to textile factories in safer conditions.

The story of the ring being made from fillings and given to him ..is true. And also gave a statement to show the Americans how h had helped them. He spent his entire fortune bribing nazis to save lives and for supplies for his workers.

I would think it would be an honor to see it. But also very sad.

Seitan is where it's at for me these days. Have you ever tried oat milk? I don't process soya well such that even using soya milk in tea doesn't always sit well, don't like almond milk, coconut milk doesn't affect flavour enough, rice milk is very sweet. Apparently pea milk is a thing.

For the veggie types, I saw something a while back on a zoo programme where they were examining chimp shit and they said it doesn't smell really as they are vegetarian. Does that apply to humans too? Does your shit actually stink less than mine?

I love Seitan. This brand is great:

I make it myself all the time as it's really cheap and easy to do some of the recipes. Usually double the ingredients of the recipe below and make 1KG of the stuff. It only takes 10 minutes and you throw it in the oven.

http://yeahthatveganshit.blogspot.ie/2007/04/infamous-seitan-recipe-o-greatness.html

I have tried Oatly and their foamable version (for coffees) and liked them, my favourite is cashew milk. As for the others, make sure you get the unsweetened versions, I hate sweetened almond but love unsweetened etc, and you seem to be similar if you think rice is too sweet.

For the veggie types, I saw something a while back on a zoo programme where they were examining chimp shit and they said it doesn't smell really as they are vegetarian. Does that apply to humans too? Does your shit actually stink less than mine?

I will dig into this for you, at least the rumour that we taste better always comes up.

The sheer hypocrisy of passing motions supporting a corrupt autocratic regime while making statements about human rights appears to have been lost on the party

Anything they say about human rights rings hollow.

Someone showed me an article recently saying General Motors was pulling out due to political unrest and forced labor.

They caused some sort of diplomatic incident with the Israeli Ambassador at some point didn't they? Peace is not brokered by war mongers.

Like a genuine and ever so complex issue like the Arab-Israeli conflict needs SF ...needs them like a hole in the head!

Allow me to reassure you that the Irish Times are bullshit artists of the biggest kind.

Ireland's tax advantage is relative to other European countries, not relative to the US. US MNCs still need to be based somewhere in EU for EU business. The Irish vs US corp tax rate has literally never been a reason for US firms to base here.

That journalist is an idiot and I'm sorry if it spoiled your morning having to worry about the impending doom.
