I have an awful problem, we are fast running out of last year's wine. A sprint to Frogland may have to be planned. If it coincided with the Connacht game in Bordeaux, well that's just serendipitious...."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I'm heading over Friday week. No wine coming back though as the boat was way dearer than flying and renting a car. Booze flight to Cherbourg is definitely on the cards when my plane is back in shape.

Starting to deeply regret our decision to plump for a few weeks near Barcelona in August. Am wilting here under mere 30 degrees.

Friend woke up to his front door alarm going off this morning. Ran down to find two lads in his hall rooting for his car keys. They got keys but ran. In Knocklyon.
Two other friends in new estate in Ballycullen had their sheds / bikes robbed and over 10 houses in the same estate the same. They came back 5 nights in 7. Some balls. Gards didn't come up until the last night when the residents trapped a thief in the back garden.
Numerous others telling me about robberies. Seems a bit of a crime spree.
I can only imagine how vulnerable rural farmers feel when their sheds / tools /machinery are constantly fleeced and feel like nobody gives a fcuk.

Inishowen was jaw-dropping over wkend past. 5 fingers strand beach was the pick of them, ballyliffin a close second. Redcastle has an amusement arcade/kids play park and decent quality restaurant in one complex.Greencastle Planetarium was nice to escape the sun for a while. Felt kinda sorry for some of the businesses the product and service deserved much bigger customer numbers virtually everywhere we went.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

@StrewelP: Peterson calmly demolishes that trans woman's criticism of his "postmodern neomarxism" in a few minutes here:

I considered going to Peterson but I think the fanfare around him at this stage has reached crazy levels.
He's a captivating public speaker and I have enjoyed listening to him at times but I think Sam Harris has had debates/discussions with some far more accomplished academics than Peterson.
Is Peterson in the same league as DeGrasse-Tyson, Pinker, Dennett, Dawkins, Hitchens, Mukherjee, Miller, Harari all of whom Harris has had discussions with.
That's not to say Sam Harris is unequivocally better than Peterson even though I personally think he is. For me, the hype around Peterson isn't worth the admission.

He fitted working on mine in around his other customiers and eventually got me a list of parts to order from the US. Parts took about a month for the dealer to gather up and send. Last one arriving this week. Sent a few of them without the right paperwork which may put one final spanner in the works, but fingers crossed it should be ready in the next week or so!

Whatever about the 27.50e tickets but the tickets including book signing which I think were 150e + are ridiculous but more amazingly sold out.

Tech help needed...
I have a Hotmail acc nearly 20 yrs. When I send a mail. The recipient receives a mail that just says private where my name should be and a world Emoji and a wink emoji. When you hover over the symbol it goes to an old flickr acc I dont even use.
Just sent myself an email to my work. Email and it comes up =
This email is from an external source. Do not open attachments etc
I am fucking around with it 2 days and can't fix it.
Anyone know wtf it is. As I can't get rid of it at all. I can edit everything else just not that.Her sky-ness

Asked this before but with some of the trip planned looking for some advice for French part of the holiday.
Current plan is San Seb, Pamplona for the bull run and Bilbao for BBK.
We then go to Biarritz to pick up the car and have 7 days to Nice.
Plan to see Cannes, Monaco, St Tropez and Nice for the last few days but looking for somewhere a bit closer to Biarritz to break up the journey.
Bitarritz worth a night or two? Toulouse, Montpellier, Marseille? Any recommendations would be great. Nightlife be key.

Andy, I'll have a look at that later on but TBH I've had my fill of his schtick and I'll be very surprised if he has anything fresh to add at this stage. The veneer of charm has worn so thin its really only about the JP fanboi industry at this stage and that following is the only serious thing about him.Turning millions into thousands

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostMan it's just the worst email service ever. Just basic stuff like not prioritising emails sent directly to you rather than all-staff emails that happen to include the recipient. Standard tech that Gmail has been doing for a million years.
that can be done easily with rules etc.
as for searching, it's a bit of a pain if you are using the browser version but may try powershell?People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Flickr thingy just can't see how to get rid of it. It's really odd and I don't want to open new email as all my contacts are on this one and it's just so old now I don't want to change it. So fucking annoying I'll have another look tonight off laptop.Her sky-ness

I blame you and the arseholes of express bus for not having a bus after liam gallagher gig in weston.
As an aside, whomever had the bright idea of having a gig in an airfield, in october, need their fucking heads examined.
stress this time I feel with me oul lad in hospital.
Update there, surgery went well and he had been moved from ICU and onto ward.
Noticeable, really noticeable drop in quality of care imo but he sat up for a few mins with assistance and is off feeding, chest and breathing tubes so all in all good newsPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Originally posted by Charlie Sheen View PostBut there is a quarter final against either Sweden/Switzerland as a carrot to come second. The bottom half of the draw looks a lot more favourable.
Even still I think it's hard for teams to play any other way than to go out and win. I expect that from England and probably both tonightairport, lol

Originally posted by eamonhonda View PostEveryone keeps saying that but whythere isnt much between the teams in group H? Also much harder to play for a draw or a loss. I see England going out to win, if anything they don't want their media u turning and saying they are shite, reverting to usual world cup abuse they get.Last edited by Solksjaer!; 28-06-18, 15:08.

Originally posted by Mike Bullocks View PostI think the last 16 should be an open draws between the 1sts and 2nds. Ie 1 gets any 2nd placer.
Instead of which we happily have just a one day gap until the knockouts start.

Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostMy suggestion of a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos to decide qualification now seems eminently reasonable.
Always pick the green hippo.
Into second half and the lads are still getting spanked and are wound up now. Few hits going in. We give it back, one of their lads goes down holding every part of his body and they all screaming at the ref.
He just turns round and says here this isn't soccer, get up and play and if ye wanna give out there's the gate. Good luck.
Met with cheers and laughter even from the other team. Need more refs like him imo

Originally posted by Mike Bullocks View PostHave you seen the path to the semis /final ?
So their likely opponents would be Japan last 16 Brazil quarters, insert one of France Portugal Uruguay Argies in the semi.
On the other side they'd face Colombia last 16, Swiss/Sweden quarters and likely Spain in semi.
A much harder last 16 and potential semi on the perceived easier side.
I think people think it's tougher because it's so stacked in the top quarter but thry can only face one of those and none are better than Spain on paper.Profit before people.

A semi would be deemed a success for this lot. One side is clearly easier though, more pedigree to get through. imo
