Had an entire 2 day work jolly there, with no physical cash used whatsoever from house to home again. Very liberating must say, in a year or 2 no wallet either i suspect, just phone will be enough.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostHey, so when I was in Dublin Ryanair cancelled my flight about 12 hours before departure and there was no alternative flights available as they only fly to Nantes quite rarely.
The fckers didn't tell me I was entitled to compensation under EU law for this (in addition to the flight cost refund), but I am amn't I? The law is actually extremely clear on the matter as far as I've read it. Think it adds up to €250 as its a shortish flight.
Now there's a difference between the law and actually getting EU261 compensation from Ryanair. Has anyone ever successfully extracted compensation from them for a last-minute cancelled flight?
Predictably they have a form (which they don't seem to link to from other parts of the website), as think they were forced to put it up, but when you type your details in it shows an error.
So I've shot them off an email.

My Nixie tube clock from Ukraine arrived today. Didn't get stung by customs either, probably somewhat due to the seller marking the value as 500 Hryvnia. Decided I wanted one after watching this vid. Sad I know
For the last few years I've being trying to find a ready-made nixie clock that I could recommend. This video shows what I've found - and the links below will...

I worked out what I thought they owed me and gave them the calculations. They gave me an extra ~500 on top."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Work was paying me, minus the social welfare payment. Ended up like that, a ball of med1 but owed them in the end.This too shall pass.

Wouldn't like to live in it, but for absolute sure, an artist created it.
I've seen similar in the past that looks good in professional photos. But in person the shoddy DIY paint job stands out and the Marilyn transfers on the walls are just A3 print outs.

Like one particular jacks, one time.
I remember getting caught smoking in the jacks in school by the principal. I went in there with a m8, we lit a cigarette and I went into the cubicle. Plan was he would keep sketch while I smoked half, then I would keep sketch for him.
The principal snook into the jacks, having already copped us ne'er do wells sloping in up the corridor. He gave a 'shut your bleedin mouth' shush finger look to my m8 and motioned for him to fuck off.
I flushed the jacks and opened the door with a mickied smoking butt in my left hand behind it. I cop the big man and flick the butt away. He bursts in, one arm grabbing my scruff, plumes of smoke, shouting 'WHERE IS IT TOBIN, I KNOW YOU WERE SMOKING YOU BASTARD'
The butt is gone, it's not floating in the jacks, it's not on the floor, gone. We spent about five seconds in total madness because of this missing butt that we both quite obviously knew was there ten seconds ago, and both knew the other one knew they knew. Then he dragged me off somewhere.
Hated that jacks for a while. Don't now.
Was trying to think of a time I used to hate a jacks.
That's the only one I can think of.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

The Oxford comma is used before “and” or “or” in a list of three or more. Ignore it at your peril. It’s a much-maligned punctuation mark, sniffed at by descriptivists and given a bad name by stuffy academic prescriptivists. Here's an example from Grammarly to show its importance:I love my parents, L...

Don't worry, this isn't one of those articles about how fruit is actually Satan.No, this is a list of all those health "facts" we're raised with, which are actually false. Passing down knowledge through the oral tradition was of course handy when mankind was still in huts, but now we have NHS Direct...

Originally posted by Lazare View PostAh I'm not really thinking of it like that, haven't really looked at it from a buyers perspective, just think its pretty creative. Not exactly my taste but creative nonetheless.
The idea is the art man.
I'm saying that as a designer, there's nothing more annoying for me than having this masterstroke od an idea and having some shovel-fisted monkey making a balls of the execution.

Myself and Smurph arrived in Lanzarote yesterday morning. We haven't been away in nearly 5 months and it's well overdue.
Since the start of the year, we both were on a weight loss plan and decided to do the Operation Transformation programme.
This was the 10th year of the series and for the previous 9 years I've sat on the sofa watching it with a glass of wine in one hand and a packet of crisps in the other. This year I decided that I had to do something about my weight as it was starting to affect my sleep and that's not good for my job either. Also now I have a new grandchild and I'd like to be around to see him grow up.
So we followed the plan, and stayed off the drink and other crap since the start of the year, went out walking every day, and now we're both feeling so much better for it. We were even signed up for the 5K finale in the phoenix park, but due to us both having the flu we had to give it a miss.
Smurph is cycling in and out of work and is also doing the slimming world plan and has me nearly converted to the meals and recipes.
We have lost a combined total of 4 and a half stone.33 lbs of it, (2st 5lbs) gone from my ass. Still a bit to go but we are feeling much better both physically and mentally.
We'll be back on the beer for the week that's in it, but no mad sessions.
Happy Paddy's Day ... !!Last edited by Fiery Wasabi; 17-03-17, 09:11.

Well done Smurph and Martin, it is easy to eat on the SW plan as the meals are tasty enough! Myself and Tony are also on a health drive. Although my exercise has been stopped with the injury I will be continuing to eat healthy and keep off the drink. (Drank more since moving to Malta than I did ever!)
Although with the day it is and the partying going to be happening here... I will be having a few drinks at the street party in St Julian's
Hope ye all enjoy your St Paddy's day celebrations, wherever you are and whatever you are doing
