      I liked it. A shame it got cancelled but they sort of wrote themselves into a corner (not that shows like that care so much about a retcon or 12 if they need them).
      May you live in interesting times!

            Yeah I went on and read it after. Tis fairly mental alright but just one of many reasons the Healy raes will get voted in as long as their name is on a ballot

              ...Has anyone here bought a ticket for the below?...€100 ticket to win a 3 bed house worth €425,000, if you're not in etc... Max amount of tickets sold will be 15,000, but currently only about 4,500 tickets sold, so I doubt they'll sell 10,500 in two months...

              Roscommon GAA and Club Rossie, in association with Ballymore, are giving you the chance to win a house in Dublin worth €425,000

                Meath GAA doing similar to help fund a new stadium development in Navan. €100 ticket or 3 for €250. 3 separate draws.

                  Cousin was flogging for similar yolk for Eunans GAA - although its for a €200k house in Letterkenny. Must be all the rage.

                    How did thr club acquire the house? Why don't they just sell it?

                      I'd imagine the one luckforsome is talking about the house was probably gifted to Roscommon GAA (Ballymore Homes = Sean Mulryne, from Roscommon) and i suppose they expect/hope to take in up to the €1.5m max from 15k tickets?

                            X factor Halloween ep is prerecorded for unknown (to me) reasons yet still had a live televote. For whatever reason the sounds turned every act into daleks for about a half hour and as it's prerecorded the show just went on.
                            They ended up having to cancel the televote so anyone who completely whiffed gets another chance and anyone doing well has to go again.
                            Irish lad still in it. He sounds shit to me but judges making all the cooing noises associated with someone that can make money.

                            This is a lot longer talking about x factor than I think I've ever done.

                                If it goes the standard GAA raffle way it'll be won by the county secretary's wife.

                                          I have Crow St booked for my grad on Thursday, is there much of a difference between locations? Worth changing?

                                          I'm looking at the menu and clearly I'm missing something regarding the pricing of steak. It becomes more expensive per oz as you increase the weight?*

                                            I would change it, Pembroke and Temple are way above the rest.

                                                Pembroke is usually better, better service, and a bit more spacious.

                                                    Surely it's +ev if you have zero chance of a mortgage for that amount.

                                                    Mad to enter that anyway, no way it's not rigged.

                                                      Why not just stick the 100 on a 4250/1 bet instead of what is possibly a 15000/1 bet that pays off at 4250/1 and choose where you live?

                                                            I never ever order steak when out. It's pathetically easy to cook well. Much rather eat fish in restaurants as they are far better of cooking it well than I ever will be.

                                                            Steak just requires good heat and a nice rest.

                                                                It's probably unfair to judge them on opening night but there were a good few issues. If they can sort them out, they will make an absolute killing there.

I also find a lot of places are massively overpriced for something so straightforward and still struggle to cook to your preference.

                                                                  Have you ever tried making sushi? Little cooking involved

                                                                                              Remus memorized the Volstead Act and found loopholes whereby he could buy distilleries and pharmacies to sell "bonded" liquor to himself under government licenses for medicinal purposes.[citation needed] Remus's employees would then hijack his own liquor so that he could sell it illegally. Remus moved to Cincinnati, in the region of the country where 80 percent of America's bonded whiskey was located, and bought up most of the whiskey manufacturers. In less than three years Remus made $40 million with the help of his trusted number two man George Conners. Remus owned many of America's most famous distilleries, including the Fleischmann Distillery, which Remus bought for $197,000, a price which included 3,100 gallons of whiskey.[citation needed]

                                                                                              Remus and his wife held a New Year's Eve party at their new mansion, nicknamed the Marble Palace, in 1922. The guests included one hundred couples from the most prestigious families in the area. As parting gifts, Remus presented all the men with diamond stickpins, and gave each guest's wife a brand new car. Remus held a similar party in June 1923, during his problems with the government, when he gave each female guest (of the fifty present) a brand new Pontiac

                                                                                              He was indicted for thousands of violations of the Volstead Act, convicted by a jury that made its decision in under two hours, and given a two-year federal prison sentence. [8] He spent two years in Atlanta Federal Penitentiary for bootlegging.[9] While he was in prison, Remus befriended another inmate and eventually confided in him that his wife, Imogene Holmes, had control over his money. The inmate was an undercover prohibition agent Franklin Dodge, who was there to gather information of that sort.[9] Instead of reporting the information, Dodge resigned his job and began an affair with Remus' wife. Dodge and Holmes liquidated Remus' assets and hid as much of the money as possible, in addition to attempting to deport Remus, and even hiring a hit man to murder Remus for $15,000.[10] In addition, Remus's Fleischmann Distillery was sold by Holmes. Remus' wife gave her imprisoned husband only $100 of the multimillion-dollar empire he created.

                                                                                              In late 1927, Imogene Holmes filed for divorce from Remus. On the way to court, on October 6, 1927, for the finalization of the divorce, Remus had his driver chase the cab carrying Holmes and her daughter through Eden Park in Cincinnati, finally forcing it off the road. Remus jumped out and fatally shot Imogene in the abdomen in front of the Spring House Gazebo to the horror of park onlookers.[12]

                                                                                              The prosecutor in the case was 30-year-old Charles Phelps Taft II, son of Chief Justice of the United States and former President William Howard Taft and brother of the future Senator Robert A. Taft. Although he had lost his last big case against another bootlegger, Taft was seen as a man with a bright political future. The trial made national headlines for a month, as Remus defended himself on the murder charge. Remus pleaded temporary insanity, and the jury deliberated only nineteen minutes before acquitting him.[13] The State of Ohio then tried to commit Remus to an insane asylum since the jury found him insane, but prosecutors were thwarted by their previous claim (backed up by the prosecution's three well-known psychiatrists) that he could be tried for murder because he was not insane.

He married for a third and final time to his long time secretary Blanche Watson. Remus ran a small contracting firm, Washington Contracting, until he suffered a stroke in August 1950.[14] For the next two years, he lived in boarding house in Covington under the care of a nurse. Remus died on January 20, 1952 at the age of 77.[9][14][15] He is buried beside his third wife at Riverside Cemetery in Falmouth, Kentucky.

                                                                                                                        Switched electricity last year from eirtric to bord gais on one of those switcher sites, it's been so much cheaper.

                                                                                                                          Virgin / Sky is a different story. I do it once a year also but the bullshitting from both sides on the phone is torturous. As is the wait.

                                                                                                                          Both upped their prices recently nulling and voiding the fixed periods i am in so i must do it again soon.

                                                                                                                          Is that Siro crowd worth a shot? 10 p/m for 2 months followed by 55 a month after.
