@strew care to elaborate on the real story behind this and whether it is finally time to crack open our fellow men's skulls and feast on the gooey delights within?

Interesting.
Have been working flat out and traveling last few weeks and managed to miss that.
First glance it looks like it could be huge for us, sounds like the attack is against the ubiquitous protocol which we don't use. One of my set pieces at demos is to describe it as 1970's technology and as secure as you'd expect etc. But there is always huge resistance to moving from something so we'll established.

[Lao Lao]

Without wanting to jinx anything, but isn't it mad how that period of terrorism maybe two years ago just suddenly vanished?

I don't think it's gone away, it's more that the security forces are managing it better and snuffing out planned attacks before they take place or limiting them to small one or two man jobs that don't have the same impact.

Guy in Melbourne today went on a kniffing spree today with one dead is being put down as a terrorist attack.

That's the success I'm talking about. No-one anywhere able to get their hands on a gun or explosives. They need to go around inefficiently knifing people, at the very best.

He had a car full of gas explosives ready to go until he was killed.

My own steed Atlas should win tonight in DLK. Think relatively speaking he is quite a big price and a bet at 5/2. However, can't help but feel Miss Zizi is overpriced at 16/1 with PP going 4 places in the same race. Might chance a little forecast as well.

Edit - 20s with 4 places now.

Did Atlas get the chop. See he's out in new colours tonight.

So he had a bomb and choose to ineffectively knife people instead knowing he would almost certainly be overpowered?
Maybe they're just getting more stupid so.

Thanks for the replies. The issue too is that I've found myself in a small niche, jumping ship immediately isn't really viable. I agreed on principal, just looking to iron out some terms. Didn't get it sorted today though and I'm off tomorrow.

Flying out at 18:30 tomorrow, Ethiopia Airlines, they say 3 hours, but I presume even 2 will be grand?

Bring Sambo & Chocolate or something from Dublin to tide you over in Addis Abbaba airport. Ethiopian Airlines were pretty good other than that.

Evening all, long time no see for some!

I was thinking of getting back into some live poker in Dublin, wondering if anyone here plays much anymore, and where is good to play? I was in the sporting emporium last week, and it was very quiet..

Isn't it Ethiopian Airlines that don't do pre clearance in Dublin? That being the case, 2 should be fine.

Asking in the wrong forum I'd say! Lots of not active players here too. From my very limited knowledge of things, the Fitz is still the busiest place. Hectorjelly is, or was until recently, in charge of organising the tournaments there. I think the SE is shutting down the poker room, in fact I thought they had already.

Bear in mind that this is advice from someone who hasn't played in years!

Hope all is well anyhow Niall.

There are a lot of mini festivals on at the moment... This weekend it is city West I believe? And the next two weekends are in bonnington and then Fitzwilliam for their November festival.

Thanks Dom, hope all is well with you - all good here, older, slower and probably significant value if anyone finds me in the Fitz over the next few weeks

The dog approached. Immediately it was clear. It was a sad thought and a familiar pain poked my chest. My heart. I suppose.

His nails, curled yet broken, leveraging him in the most painful and perverse manner sunk into the sand,every step clearly sapping every morsel of bravery and survival he had left. Every rib was accountable. Each visible and violent, threatening to break through his skin.

"Mum, I'm starving!" memories flooded back. "Don't use that word - decades old scoldings suddenly ringing true.

Manically, he swirled, compulsively biting his back legs and tail.

Relief? but of what kind - gratitude, for it means you are not alone?

My imagination I thought.

Now close enough I saw his eyes. Undeniably kind. Orange and wild but soft, seeking a freind.

Desperate though. A desperation so projected it pulsated, a hadouken of need that made me step back from him in spite of myself.

Depression.

Any chance of transitioning into a more traditional trading role?

If you want ze easy life, corporate treasury probably the way to go. Places like GE have surprisingly large orgs here in Dublin.

I've always been given the impression that they don't like the likes of us, very few make the transition from prop into more traditional roles.

Yeah, I've a friend in treasury, certainly sounds like an easy life. I'm doing an evening post-grad in data analytics next year, but maybe I should look more into that area.

He had a car full of gas explosives ready to go until he was killed.

There were no "explosives" in the car. He had a couple of BBQ cylinders, the kind you can pick up in any petrol station. Playing this up as a bomb is giving this lunatic far more credit than he deserves.

It was as much terrorism as the Lindt cafe. A radicalised lunatic with terroristic ideations acting alone. The legal definition of terrorism doesn't have any clauses regarding scale or organisation. So it's technically terrorism. But in practical terms. It's was a failed spree murder.

I've doing a course in NCI, gov pays 90% of the fees and it's right beside work/home, UCD is probably better though.

A team in work is looking for a trade operator, don't think they'd be looking for too much experience, more for analytic skills, if it's something you're looking into getting into.

I know the one, those 90% subsidised courses are such great value, there's one in Athlone IT too I think.

Emporium has cash Friday & Saturday nights, otherwise dead.
Jackpot the same but doesn't kick off until after midnight when the pubs/clubs start cooling down.
Fitzwilliam cash begins at 7pm nighty with tournaments starting at 8. Always busy until 4am plus.

Random festivals pop up regularly, one or two each month, buy-ins range from €120 upwards.
Celtic in the Green isle this weekend, Stars in the Bonnington (old Regency) next week and UniBet following them the week after that.
D1 on Dorset Street, 4Kings in Swords and JP's place in Tallaght are generally getting between 2 and 4 tables for nighty tournaments and mustering a single cash game later in the night.

[MrsFlushdraw]

Currently lying in a hospital bed in the observation ward at the Mater Dei. The rash spread and is horrific looking. Got a taxi about 9am, after I waited less than 10 mins to be seen, I was put back on a cocktail of IV drugs.

It is still spreading and getting more IV meds. I really hope it halts soon!

I assume I have a shellfish allergy going from what I was asked/told. Since I do not eat a thing out the sea, I have no clue!

Spent the night itching. They said oral meds won't cut it right now and I am in here till I get better.

[Lazare]

Jesus, get well soon Gil.

...What kinda work do you do on a daily basis out of curiosity?...Was it hard for you to get into it...Wonder what work experience/ qualifications you have...From the posts you've stuck up, it really sounds like the kinda job I want to end up in a few years, although kinda clueless as to how to get there...

[luckforsome]

...Sorry to hear that Mrs Flushdraw...Sounds awful, but probably a good thing they'll keep you in until you're fully better and find out the exact cause of it...Hope you're getting lots of TLC!!!...

Great to hear the hospitals seem so efficient in Malta anyway. Hope they identify the cause and the meds work.

I knew England would win this rugby match!.

They pretty sure it is the CT Contrast as I had a delayed reaction both times. They are very efficient here anyway. Tons of Drs as well as nurses and no great waiting times to be seen.

Some decision, looked a good try to me but used up their luck last week. Farrell was shite and great in that game

Ali does score the odd header, Tripper might take the frees with Ericsson out

Evening all, long time no see for some!

I was thinking of getting back into some live poker in Dublin, wondering if anyone here plays much anymore, and where is good to play? I was in the sporting emporium last week, and it was very quiet..

The first question is why?
Only played once the last 4 months in Killarney.
I find that the games have too many bloody chips.
Ok the blinds are shorter mostly 15 min blinds or 20 mins but starting stacks of30k 40 or 50k chips midweek is to much.
Being there till 2 or 3 in the morning is not ideal if you have a job.
Doubt you will want to play cash which is available earlier and obviously you can quit anytime.
I have found the standard of dealing and etiquette amongst players and dealers alike has dropped or else i am just getting old and grumpy.
Lots of festivals with buy ins from 120 to 1000 usually more craic and can be better fun allowing for a few drinks etc. Not as many elderly nits about as was back in the Merrion days and not many left from the crowd that played a lot back then around our age.
Does the brother still play ?
