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.
I'm really happy where I'm at now, I fell on my feet tbh but thanks

What's the deal with the 90% off courses? Certain ones for some reason?

I remember my masters was free, actually was given a few grand, but I have no idea why now. Think it was some government scheme that was stopped similar to undergrad.

That online UCD MSc in Data Analytics someone (Brady?) posted earlier looks fairly class. Can pick from loads of modules. Am slightly tempted, if only they had a better selection of courses. Seems to be all about core coding methods but nothing really about big data.

Enjoy the trip!

.

A mate of mine previously lectured on it before he moved on. If you don't have a numerical background they tend to ask for

SPOILER

which is two core modules in linear algebra and calculus. I'm sure it wouldn't apply to you but for anyone else interested.

Also to answer Tar, website with the list of courses, there's lots on it: https://springboardcourses.ie

Fulhams sucidingly open tactics makes me fear they may concede a record amount of Premier league goals in the early kick off against Liverpool. Backed all the goals.

jaysus as bad n all as they are, I don't think they'll concede 10! Probably be a 4 or 5 nil job

[The Situation]

jaysus as bad n all as they are, I don't think they'll concede 10! Probably be a 4 or 5 nil job

I mean obviously unlikely but there's value in the +5.5 and +6.5 game goal lines imo. Fulham manager think he's got Barca level players the way he sends them out playing, it's naive beyond belief.

[ocallagh]

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 ?

Cheers sickpuppy, I guess I miss the odd live tournament, and have a bit of spare time nowadays.

David lives in the US now, don't think he plays much anymore

While you were watching that, i was watching Arsenal get pummeled by Wolves and somehow get out of it with a 1-1 draw. Wolves will be kicking themselves for not getting 3 points.

Think it was 44 and it won't be goal of the season. It was a fantastic goal but let's not be silly. There will be better scored in the next 6 months.

Was only joking with a certain Biffo yesterday about refereeing and how mad you would want to be to do it in certain sports, in certain areas.

Lo and behold, the Biffos strike back, literally.

Bans for life for the players and five years for the club the only answer imo.

Another good week coming up for Brexit-watching.

Still amazing how the UK media assume that whatever cobbled-together mess (because the alternative is so much worse) that May will eventually present to Barnier will automatically get approved by the EU. Hard to think of a First World nation fucking things up on such a grand scale since WW2.

Reffing in any sport unless it's ladies hockey is tough. I done the line in junior rugby matches and was asked to do reffing. Not a hope giving up your Saturday to be under appreciated and abused verbally by clowns who barely know the rules. I did call a player a thick cunt he was about two feet in touch and I raised my little flag signalling so he went ballistic.

Yeh, my belief that a deal will or has definitely been done is now ebbing away somewhat The UK political situation is so fucked up, far more so than the US at present, though perhaps not structurally as in the latter case.

Also, if the madness doesn't somehow get called off, the later potential for British outrage in a number years if they ever try to get back in is huge.

"It's stupid but we are in now, anything else is an affront to democracy" was a message from them. There were some guffaws.

Yeah! The fact that a deal is always done is being tested to the maximum here. The Brits are just all over the place. Like they were the ones who agreed to a backdrop 11 months ago.

"You can hardly expect us to live up to international commitments we made in writing. We're British, for God's sake!"

Even if the Brits somehow achieve internal consensus, it's not a deal. It's a can-kicking extension exercise until the real negotiations can be done.

I think the odd bright spark has possibly twigged how fucked they are long-term.
