Lennon was 33/1 on powers while shorter everywhere else so stuck 20 on

Drifted to 50's while not moving anywhere else, felt wrong so tried to go in for another 20

allowed me 2.40 and then they cut him to 20/1

Queiros is an interesting name, leaving Iran soon

Ooof. That's a large chunk of your day wasted sitting in traffic. Feeling better about location choices myself with my 11 min rail journey/20 min cycle.

I thought there was reasonably good commuter rail links into/out of Kildare.

Yeah there is a train from Sallins that the missus will be on. I'm working in Tallaght and at the moment driving 45 mins from Grand Canal Dock. I expect my commute to be less. 30mins maybe if I'm leaving at 7am, will be out the gap by 4pm then.

Be grand!

[eoghan104]

No much bother there, you'll meet a bit of congestion at Rathcoole and Citywest on a busy day but should never be more than 30 mins to Tallaght.

Are you moving into one of those new houses at Furness?

No I looked at one and didn't like them. Monread Gardens is where we bought. Some value compared to Sallins but I understand the drawbacks.

Will you continue to play five at the back? Do you think we have the players to play a more expansive game?

[Bozzer]

Yeah, it changed into a function only in python 3, which allows some more magic to be accomplished than before. I must think about making better code than mine as an exercise.

Similar solution without using a dict (python3).

SPOILER

population = 10000
newborn_list = []
for i in range(12):
    if i in [4, 5, 6]:  
        newborns = population//8 * 3
        months = 11 - 3 - i
        while months > 0:
            newborns -= newborns//100 * 15
            months -= 1
        newborn_list.append(newborns)
    population -= population//20
print(population + sum(newborn_list))

Not sure if anyone mentioned this already. But if anyone hasnt been buying the Amazon Echo Dot for £25 they are mad. This thing does way to much to be ignored at this price.

As a kids pressie for xmas its unreal.

3. Read Bedtime Story
4. Play Pointless
5. Plays all irish radio Stations
6. Maths whats 16 x 4
7. Language Whats the french for open the door

Im no Amazon Salesman but these things are just the mutts nutts for the money. Now go an fill you house with them before they go back up to the normal price next week.

[oleras]

Question to you that have had bypass surgery.

How big is the scar?

Is that what they are recommending ?

Collar bone to just below rib cage, taking in the whole sternum. Leg and arm scar depending on location of potential grafts if multiple bypasses required, can just use a mammary artery inside chest wall if just the one required afaik.

Can also be done keyhole type, depending on what side of the heart they need to access. Davinci machine ?

I use HUKD to alert me to Lego deals, pretty much only pull the trigger when the sets we're after hit all-time lows. Went to Smyths last night to grab this: https://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/...g-toy/p/165317 and used the €10 off coupon too. Otherwise in the last 10 days ordered two sets from Amazon and another from John Lewis, this one: https://www.johnlewis.com/lego-creat...quare/p3190575 Have to be very quick with the JL deals as they go OOO very quickly at the deep discounts. Jesus, I feel great grabbing that last set at the discounted price, as it is 'down' to €229 in Smyths, but then I have to reconcile the fact that we're spending all of this on a pile of plastic bricks

By the way, seeing as you're buying Harry Potter, have you seen this set (only available via Lego direct I believe)? https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Hogwarts-Castle-71043 - WOW

They rang me last week and essentially the offer wasn't worth taking imo. The best they could do was 229 for 12 months. The 159 last year was on the cusp for me to be honest.

I want to get something like the hive but my issue is you need to buy an extra bit of kit if you want different heating zones (I.e. I want to be able to have the heat off in the house at night but still be keeping the heat in the babies room at the same temp)

Dell UK outlet has great deals year round, new laptops put up each afternoon, they have a section/tab to keep an eye on for discount codes on top of the laptop sales too, up to 15% or so generally. Got €500 off a laptop on there.

that's the one i got which is with the installation. Looks like they've stopped the free Echo dots though. to make it work separately in different rooms. I think what you need is an extra thermostat on top of the hub, so you'd need these 2. those are both without installation, as i've no idea if they install in Ireland.

That doesn't sound like a promising question MrsF. That on the cards for you potentially?

The fact that they can't find the artery and he thinks it is blocked makes me think that is on the cards. With me being the palest of the pale and going on a cruise prob not long after, was wondering about bikini wear

Although, after seeing that picture Ole put up, I am scared shitless at the thought. Especially if I am reacting to various medical drugs. I had a hard after section recovery due to my body almost shutting down, now looking back, it was prob some sort of reaction to something they were pumping into me. The thought of a general with all that hanging over my head is absolutely terrifying. The thought of not waking back up etc.

Is that what they are recommending ?

Collar bone to just below rib cage, taking in the whole sternum. Leg and arm scar depending on location of potential grafts if multiple bypasses required, can just use a mammary artery inside chest wall if just the one required afaik.

SPOILER

I will def ask what side it is and would be great if it was keyhole type. Is it not normally surgery for a blocked artery? I had thought it was narrowed, but according to the Cardio, he thinks blocked. I am just trying to get my head round all possibilities at the minute.

The fact they cant find it seems more to be diagnostic rather than blocked, as an armchair cardio-thoracic surgeon that is...

I assume you haven't had any angiograms ? The fact you are allergic to the contrast wouldn't help.

I had the nuclear test twice, couldn't see what they needed. And that was why I had the CT scan.

Mine does exactly that, each room can call for heat individually from the radiator valve. Kitchen warm, TV room warm, bedroom cool. Got spare room plastered and painted on Monday,turned heat up full whack for 24 hrs on it to help dry out then set to a wee half hour blast the odd time to keep it up.

£50 per Rad and a few hundred for controller. Delighted with it must say after 7/8 months usage
