Ireland have been absolutely shit lately. Looks to me like Keane has had enough and thinks some players are ripping the piss having a jolly on International breaks. Fair enough. That kind of language and clashes are standard within the culture of soccer or at least certainly were in my experience. His position is probably GG but not sure if it should be, players really look like they dont give a fuck lately.

Getting extra coffee wankery buying a gift in London, description is like on wine... "baked green apples, peaches and dates with a hint of lingering spice" but it actually has those things ground in with it. Can see the roastery from the shop. Tastes amazing. ☕
Been hanging out in Google here and it's just unreal there. What a place to work.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 11-09-18, 11:06.

Talking to a girl I know that is going to her fourth wedding this year and I realised that only one of my friends has got married, even in my extended circle there's few engagements and even fewer weddings. Our group must be an outlier, seems like a lot of people around my age are bogged down with invitations, or maybe I'm just more aware of the few that are.Last edited by Denny Crane; 11-09-18, 14:54.

Originally posted by RichieM View Post4 is not anything to be worried about. My record year was 14 weddings and groomsman for 3 of them 3 weekends in a row. It was not the cheapest year and would not like to have to do it again."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I really want to go but the price alone is enough to curl my teeth.
It's not in a touristy area so finding it hard to justify a few grand for herself/meself and deadpigeon.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Originally posted by Arazi View PostThat’s an impressive claim, standing out as the biggest bunch of wankers in an industry full of wankers, actually in an industry where being a wanker is seen as a redeeming feature."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by 5starpool View PostSounds like a you thing, not a Ryanair thing.Originally posted by zuutroy View PostAll commercial aircraft are pressurised such that the equivalent altitude of the cabin is about 7000-8000 ft. Lower = more comfort for passengers, higher = less stress on the pressure bulkheads. You'd imagine Ryanair would have it set high but typically unless you were very unfit you wouldn't feel any ill effects of hypoxia below about 8000 ft, but it's not unheard of. The main problem is the air is incredibly dry...usually around 10% humidity compared with about 50% in normal Irish air. That's the main thing that makes air travel horrible...well, that and all the people.

In London for week, mate I'd planned spending weekend on piss with going to Bilbao on Saturday, looks like I might be going to Bilbao for weekend if I can sort flights

I fly with them loads, no complaints at all apart from once or twice they are quite late leaving Gatwich but no idea if that is their fault. My ears felt weirder in the Sky Garden in London than in the plane. Actually quite like that everybodies bags are in the hold now and there is no messing around.

Not sure if there is some weird policy in place.Last edited by Raoul Duke III; 11-09-18, 21:14."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by tylerdurden94 View PostGoing to a meeting in my area tomorrow about the proposed bus changes, anybody got some questions they think I should ask?
A friend of mine on Brandon Road (pregnant, two young twins, night shift nurse) gets it directly to Sandymount for work and can't figure out if it is gone for good or just not passing along the Drimnagh Road anymore. Seems to be conflicting reports out there.
We presume she'll probably have to get two busses now.
Also tell them not to fck with the 123 - Drimnagh's little secret! Everyone loves that service.
Thanks Danny.

Arrived home from London and 8am this morning there are lads ripping up the whole floor of my apartment to replace the floor (water damage from shower wall rotting/leaking, and knocking through the wall of my bathroom to replace it. Both lights then went in the bathroom. Nice and relaxing!
Doesn't take long to wreck a place with some tools. Bit of a disaster as there is nowhere to put all the stuff from the apartment so they have to move everything about painfully. Ah joys. Was ever so happy to leave for work.

Who are these people that are in the house in Frederick St?
Are they people who are heartily demonstrating with a good outcome in mind or are they just trouble makers?
The Balaclava act from the Guards is looking like a disaster. Who made that call?
I know a guard who was trying to protect Joan Burton that famous day. He was recognised in the crowd and ripped to shreds on social media (anonymously of course) until he had to leave all platforms. No big deal you may think but it was to him.
Is that the reason they are hiding their identity?

Seems a strange narrative to peddle that awful landlords are keeping buildings empty that need to be occupied? I can't really get behind the idea that activists should be allowed just take over buildings by choice.Last edited by Denny Crane; 12-09-18, 11:02.

In an ideal world the landlords could own as many vacants as they please. But we don't live in ideal world and people don't have anywhere to live, so fuck said landlords. Fair play to the activists they are doing more than anyone else about the problem.airport, lol

Reading more into it though and it seems the big concern is the Gardai were there protecting a bunch of private security guys who stormed it wearing balaclavas. Word they're Northern Irish, got out of a UK reg van that once belonged to Manchester police.
This stinks. Doesn't bode well for the new head.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Have July -> August -> September next year already booked out. 6 weddings and a stag party. (Scotland, Ireland, Poland, France and Italy for weddings - nobody taking it handy anymore)
I'll be a shell of a man by the end of it, and my wallet will be in bits.Last edited by Emmet; 12-09-18, 12:33.

Originally posted by Sickpuppy View PostIt's private property the owners can let it rot does not mean a bunch of activists layabouts whatever they are can occupy it illegally. If a farmer left a field fallow would there be demands to graze sheep or grow spuds in it? I'd love a free gaff council house in the city center.
Fuck them while people have nowhere to live. Rent it or sell it.airport, lol

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostNot a fan in the slightest of the types of people who occupy these buildings, but Honda's point is reasonable. There's two things you can do with property: develop it for delivering property now, or let it lie derelict for a few years as a speculative play on future property prices. It's not really ideal that the second option is there given how much housing is needed, and even though its the owners right, it doesn't seem to be in the public interest. And the public has a valid interest in usage of scarce property that has some ability to override private property rights. Now, if they'd just properly tax the speculator leave-derelict types this problem would disappear, so that seems a better approach.
Sligo has a load of shopfronts that look awful because they don’t need to keep them painted etc. it makes the town look derilict and has actually turned some businesses that considered setting up to go elsewhere.
Slightly different I know but in the same realm.
