You just have to look at the Brexit reaction to see how things have gone. The anti-Brexit crowd acted like spoiled children in the wake of it. They couldn't hold their shit together and have a bit of common decency. The result of this is that many idiots who voted to leave are even more delighted they did now because of the childish reaction from the pro-Europe side.

Old job had a guy who came in twice a week but there were over 2k people in the building so well worth it. New place has gone to 'jeans and a shirt' so newly-purchased suits are only getting wear for client visits."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Say Dutch is €1 a can and Lech or something benefits from being held in a better regard because it is €1.50. Now the minimum including for the can of Dutch is €2 the can of Lech is going to be at least €2.50 to not be seen as cheap swill.
Same for wine, probably more so.

Are we first to introduce these sort of price points in MUP, how did it affect the market in Scotland which was much lower MUP but might be a pointer.

Originally posted by ArmaniJeans View PostMargin maybe, if MUP means you are making a huge margin on the 'was €6, now €9' bottle of wine then the 'was €9, still €9' bottle starts to look a bit of a waste from the suppliers point of view. So bump up its price to keep the margin similar. Same logic for ales/beer.
I'm not convinced that Dutch Gold continues to exist, its entire reason (cheap) is now gone. So something marginally better might fill the €2 slot, but I agree Lech etc will probably go up also so as not to be seen to be the bottom of the market.

That wine thing sounds fun for a group.
Friend rushed into surgery last night in Mater, her brand new phone was taken off her as she was being wheeled in as well as all other belongings. Phone nowhere to be found today with all other stuff being fine, staff started off by saying she didn't give it to them and doubting everything she said (I was in there, head of the ward is some yoke). They have no idea where she was taken, who was dealing with her, where the piece of paper is that had her belongings written on it by the staff as they were taking it.
Pretty shit one as she is quite poor and her last new phone was violently mugged off her two weeks ago. I got that one for her. Before that she'd been using the same phone for like 6-8 years.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 05-10-18, 12:27.

Work selling off some old macbooks. We are apple partner so get new laptops for employees every year.
Macbook Pro Retina 2015 8gb ram, 256gb HD, i5 2.7ghz (early 2015) for 800cad.
Seems to be a decent deal given some small research I've done.
In great nick given the are used and refurbished in house for app development.
Anyone know if thats a decent deal?
Obv, if anyone here is interested I can hook up too. Not sure how shipping would work but I'm sure its a solvable problem.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

There's nothing quite like that warm fuzzy feeling of working late on a Friday, crunching the numbers of customer credit and rebills for the previous month and how that has an impact both financially and from a productivity point of view.
I mean, sure, some people would rather be in the pub having a few pints and the craic but I think we can all agree that they are the ones missing out...

The rush to get home and have an early dinner meant I had the kind of indigestion that could easily be mistaken for a heart attack, which was a bit of a distraction. That, and the fact that I find it difficult to sit still for more than 30 minutes didn't help.

I had a cardiac MRi a few weeks ago, got the results last monday.
After the bypass, 2 angiograms, 8 or 10 stress tests and numerous ecg's in the last 6 years cardiologist tells me it appears i had a heart attack at some stage before the bypass...none of the previous tests showed anything like that before, i did have a serious "indigestion" episode a few months before the operation and there was a time when i was driving to work when all one side of me went numb and pain in my jaw etc.
Doesnt change much really but now i need to cop myself on, will be cutting back on the booze and upping the exercise.This too shall pass.

I love having a uniform, saves the whole "she has better clothes than me" shit. There is one supplier of the uniforms here and it is all very reasonably priced. I even get the leather school shoes from there which are great quality. Didn't the first year and she went through 3 pairs of designer ones. Got the leather ones for €25 and they are still perfect. Just too small now.
They only wear a tie when they wear the "winter" uniform where they have a shirt, tie and jumper on. They wear that from November until Easter.
The summer uniform is a polo shirt and a skort for the girls and the shorts for the boys.

I am waiting for the cardia MRi myself at the moment. What does it entail? is it another injection type? How long does it take? I know I have been given two tablets to take that day to slow my heart down. Can't be worse than the injection of the radioactive shit that they do to you, with a mask and gloves on

So I am going to Galway next weekend with my rugby-trip crew, heading on the train. All set for the usual wine and cheese consumption onboard.
Or so we thought.
