      "We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

      Comment


        Wish I'd never found out about the BBC Parliament channel. Think my crush on John Bercow has to be up there on the weirdness scale.

          Watched some Hitler speeches last week. Was kinda genius the way he wouldn't mention the Jews by name, but everybody knew who he was talking about.

            I'm sure he meant the gays. :-)

              Yeah I'm actually grand compared to the other places I see, much better deal. What happens now is my rent goes up 4 percent every year.

              Didnt realise how bad it is is all, last time I had a look was a year or so ago and it wasn't as bad then.

                  Freaks the fuck out of me when I'm in sombodys office on Leeson Street, and I mostly remember it as a stoners student flat that cost about 30 pints a week.

                      Still love that the price of a pint is my favourite unite of monetary measurement. I was so pissed when the pint went up to £1.67 and you were made to feel bad when buying 3 for a fiver.

                        Lots of people from the old ie-dance mailing list playing and going and while D1 had a reputation for being somewhat po-faced ("no fun D1" as The Slate called them back in the day) I'm hoping tonight will be a great celebration of Dublin techno past and present.
                        If I was going anywhere tonight it'd be there but would take a lot to get me into the city centre on Paddy's night

                                Interesting that that of all the politicians who would be queuing up to comment, RTE dragged out Cathrine Murphy the non entity Social Democrats TD from Celbridge whose main role in life is as a stooge for the the O'Reilly's and other enemies Dennis O'Brien, to comment on the John Delaney giving a bridging loan to the FAI

                                          Had a weird thing happen just now. Fell out with a mate of mine about 12 years ago. Fell out bad. His fault.

                                          Patched it up after about a year or so and things have been grand since. We have never spoken about it.

                                          He lives abroad, works for Russian oligarchs flying their private jets. (That adds nothing to this story, but it's cool so I included it) I rarely chat to him now one to one, every month or so.

                                          Anyway, I hadn't thought about our falling out for years until earlier tonight, a few hours ago. Randomly came into my head.

                                          He messaged me just there about something and we got chatting. He then randomly apologised for what happened 12 years ago.

                                          Wtf? How mad is that?

                                            ...Not random at all... He is involved with the Russians, so obviously hacked your brain and using it to his/their afvantsge...

                                                  Few beverages on board diminishing the cringe giving me courage to share. Will likely delete in the morn.

                                                  Started writing this song a couple of years back during the marriage ref. Played the work in progress on acoustic to my cousin and his mate one night at a jam session. My cousin is a guitarist, his mate an amateur producer.

                                                  They really liked it, although we were all pretty stoned. We decided to record it over a couple of sessions. Vocals and chord progressions are mine, I think I added a small bit of guitar but mostly that's my cousin and the percussion and synth are his mate.

                                                  It's unfinished and the '2nd verse' is just a loop of the first verse. Never got around to finishing it.

                                                  Would love honest feedback

                                                          Also, it should actually be funny more than shocking in and of itself.

                                                              Laz, I love your songwriting style, short punchy rhyming couplets. This is a song I could very easily imagine being sung by someone like jermain clement (flight of the chonchords).
                                                              It's a clever idea and i really like the lyrics.
                                                              Maybe more scenarios to set different examples on the opening of each verse and use the setting to shape the verse.
                                                              World peace, perfect teeth
                                                              No fears, robot gondoliers
                                                              That kind of irreverent stuff ya know?
                                                              Also, I'm not sure but if you wrote this during the marriage ref it's shaping your 'earnestness' during the song? I don't think it needs the imploring tone....
                                                              Anyway enough shit from me, I'm off to wipe a bum from a shouting toddler

                                                                    It's a clever idea and i really like the lyrics.

"In years to come we'll be able to say we saw him play here," one says. "Somewhere as intimate as this."

We were bottom in the Nations League and were (I think) 2nd worse out of all the teams that came bottom so for us to go through via a qualifier is too remote to even consider it as an option.

                                                                                Obvs totally open to correction by AJ.

                                                                                      1. Bosnia
                                                                                      2. Ukraine
                                                                                      3. Denmark
                                                                                      4. Sweden
                                                                                      5. Russia
                                                                                      6. Austria
                                                                                      7. Wales
                                                                                      8. Czech Rep
                                                                                      9. Slovakia
                                                                                      10 Turkey
                                                                                      11. Republic of Ireland
                                                                                      12. Northern Ireland

                                                                                      To get to a 4 team play-off we would need 7 of the teams ranked above us to qualify automatically and thus they don't need to use their playoff spot. It probably will happen, some good teams in there.

                                                                                      But it's worth pointing out that the playoffs aren't home and away like before, the higher ranked teams will have home advantage in a one-off tie in the semi-final of the 4-team playoff. Coin-toss for the final.

                                                                                      Comment


                                                                                        With our low Nations League ranking there is also a possibility that we could be bumped up to a harder play-off against teams like Italy, Spain and Croatia if they happen to fail to qualify.
                                                                                        I usually lose my audience when I start to explain the technicalities of this though.

                                                                                        But basically the playoff option could be very tricky this time. Best to finish Top 2 in the group.

                                                                                        Comment

Hard to fathom that. Also I didn’t see China’s fall and re emergence coming so starkly.
