Fuxk that, unfollowed both. Don’t like DN either by the way but the two boys are like podge and rodge over this.

Need your help.
I'm trying to develop a mind map type team strategy overview document.
What i was thinking was using a heirarchy chart, you know you see an image then can zoom in and then there is different information or circles attached by lines, can zoom in further still. Best way to describe is when you see info about Trump, like he will be in the middle then it will have trump organisation, charity, campaign etc and then when you look at one closer it will have ivanka, jared, the people invovled and then you can info on them.
what is that called and is there any free ones available online to play around with

He flat out called for an apology for wearing the black face in one of the retweets despite that having nothing to do with the original tweet. And his fan boy liking all the tweets.

Quite poetic that I leave Calgary, which is a tundra. Visit New York for work on the way, of which the Monday was probably the coldest I have ever been - 12c and close to water, an then get home only to be told there is a reasonable snowfall incoming.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Two dyslexic guys are at the top of a ski slope.
One points to the slalom run and says, "Fancy zig zagging down the slalom run?"
The other replies,"Zig zag? Don't you mean zag zig?"
After ten minutes arguing whether slalom involved zig zagging or zag zigging, they both decide to ask someone at the bottom of the slope.
They put their goggles on and down the slope they go. They reach the bottom and see a man about to make his way up the hill.
"Excuse me, could you settle an argument for us? When you go down a slalom run do you zig zag or zag zig?"
The guy paused for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm a tobogganist."
So the pair replied, "Fine, give us two packs of Marlboro then."
I hope HJ and Eamo don't get too offended.

We did those tests in class, it got to the point (as we further progressed down the periodic table) that the science teacher burned the ceiling quite badly. He also showed us his collection of radioactive materials which was cool, geiger counter at the ready.
First day of chemistry in university the lecturer came on stage and opened a flask and hurled the contents towards the unwitting auditorium. It was liquid Nitrogen so it just turned into gas, was great to see the reaction of everybody in front though.

I hope that the EU stands firm now and are prepared to demand that any extension is either very short term accompanied by at least a No Deal / May's deal referendum within a couple of months or longer term c. 30 months to allow a GE followed by renegotiation and then referendum.
Else they should be told to GTFO, another decade of European politics being dominated by Tory party infighting is going to be worse than no deal.Turning millions into thousands

Regulation isn't all that. It's mainly an overview of broad capital ratios to stop banks going bankrupt.
I'd imagine lending money to developers would be highly profitable. Gov currently lends money to loads of groups already through NTMA, Enterprise Ireland e.g. highly risky small firms, startups. No problems there and decent returns so can't see why property development lending would be any less successful.
The purpose of this scheme is not to make a profit, it's to fund risky development ventures.
The chances of this ending in tears are 100%. Michael Healy-Rae's sister's donkey's development company will secure a big loan to build a castle in a swamp. The project will fail. Donkey's development company will declare bankruptcy after siphoning off most the money to businesses of family and friends. Joe and Mary tax payer will be left with the bill.
Save this. If if five years the new entity isn't embroiled in a scandal of this type I will donate €100 euro to a donkey sanctuary of your choosing.
Maybe the the state should set up another entity to dole out mortgages to those who can't secure the from established leaders?
Better still why loan the money at all? The state could fund, manage and sub-contract out these developments, essentially becoming the developer, and then sell them without any profit element to relieve would be home buyers?Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

- ignominious no deal exit - 75%
- Ireland deciding that a time limited backstop is actually better than a no deal reality at the end of March - 15%
- The EU forcing Ireland into accepting a time limit 5%
- Enough MP's accepting a deal with no time limit on the backstop 2.5%
- Cancel A50 2.4%
- 2nd referendum .1%

Weyand yesterday. Tusk and Macron today.
It's like the Brits think those flaky continentals will just roll over at the sight of May armed with a meaningless vote that contains no definitive suggestions.

Originally posted by 5starpool View PostOne thing I don't get about the Irish government position on the backstop. Coveney/Varadkar are saying that even if there is no deal there will not be a hard border, and they will work with the UK/EU in that case to prevent border checks, etc. If this is the case, why is there the need for a backstop to avoid a hard border when there is not going to be a hard border in the first place no matter what?
Is it all just bluster, and everyone knows there will be border checks of some kind but no one wants to admit it? It seems like it is counter productive to say there will be no border infrastructure if there actually must be because it will be insisted about.

Originally posted by 5starpool View PostNo one really replied to this (except SP who didn't really answer it). Any takers to explain the Irish government position to me?
The NI border becomes de facto the border between the EU and a third party. Now, that might look like the Swiss-French border (fairly seamless). But it will require some infrastructure for sure to protect the integrity of the Single Market."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Just to demonstrate how deluded the Brits are (and how this whole Westminster am-dram production means absolutely nothing in the real world):
Juncker called May this afternoon and forcefully informed her the Brady amendment is meaningless and that if it passed, May should not even bother coming to Brussels to negotiate on the basis of it.
Knowing this, she presses on."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Ha. My man here presents the mirror image of what the Brits are trying to do.
The best way of thinking about this is to imagine the converse situation, in which the EU at this late stage announced that despite what has been agreed in the negotiations only by, say, increasing the financial settlement and changing the backstop back to being Northern Ireland will it be possible to secure sufficient support from the European Council and Parliament. The outrage of Brexiters can easily be guessed at, and the UK response would almost certainly be a flat refusal."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
