Seems like a notable gap in my personal wikipedia.

I was having this conversation on Friday with someone on the drive down to a retreat in Clare about the difference between someone who spent a good bit of time in the nature of the countryside when young and someone who didn't.
It takes days for my brain to adjust to just being in nature and really taking it in.

Outrage as ‘Britain caves in and ALLOWS Turkey to join the European Union’BRITONS risk being trapped inside a Turkish-dominated EU unless the country votes to cut ties with Brussels in the forthcoming referendum, Nigel Farage warned today.
Cut ties with Brussels or risk being trapped in a Turkish-dominated EU, warns Farage
"We saw the mass, open, sexual molestation of hundreds of women in public. If Germany and Sweden are prepared to accept unlimited numbers of young men from countries and cultures where women are at best second class citizens then, frankly, what to they expect?
TURKEY wants a free trade deal with the United Kingdom in exchange for free movement of people…. Speaking alongside Theresa May in Ankara last month Mr Yildirim said talks would be initiated with the UK about a free trade deal simultaneously with the talks Turkey has begun about modernising the Customs Union.
I know I bang on about Brexit a lot (my job is tied pretty closely to the UK market) but it's just getting beyond a parody
The UK are leaving the EU because they didn’t like the thought of being in a union with Turkey ( ), then are ending up in a union with Turkey because they left the EU.

I Have the P30 pro.
Moved from OnePlus for the first time in four years. Had the x and 5. Couldn't wait for the 7 so went p30.
I missed Oxygen OS at the start bad. But have forgotten about it. Not one for taking pictures but the camera on this thing makes you. It's fucking incredible.
The on screen fingerprint sensor is my main gripe. Even at that it's only a small one. Some Apps(mostly gambling) have a hard time adapting to that.

It's still on the way. I've usually just gone with budget androids, but it is noticeable how much the camera suffers for the price point, so that was the main motivation for going for the Pixel. Most specs don't really mean much to me, don't play games or anything, usually just care about a decent screen and battery.

Meditate on this one for a few decades lads. Frankel magic number 14. Trumper magic number 8 (5 is a piece of piss for five monkeys) only Denny fell for it and is on 6/5 t&cs posted on snooker thread in an elevated state. The Dalai Lama or the boss man as I call him began the peace process to end a war that has gone on for more than a millennium and coincidentally he's HH14 and his magic number is 108 😂 It was broadcast live on FB. I'm sure it's on you tube by now so if some of you geniuses can stick up a link someone will definitely find it useful.

Platini arrested I see.
Hope this isn’t going to affect what is an absolute lock to be the best World Cup ever.(some idiots calling for them to be stripped as if there was never corruption in a WC decision before)
Coming home after a hard days graft in miserable December to watch WC football in sunny climes, players not wrecked after a long hard season, cool stadiums, great for fans to get around etc
Well worth losing out on Xmas prem matches

Dice runs his first to 15 on an honour basis... ie when you lose you ship the dough.... I'm saying that in 15 years time when Frankel passes the wizard most of us know it won't take that long but when he does the first 5 to thank the post ship me a monkey was gonna suggest a deuce but in 10 years time a monkey will feel like a deuce does today.... if on 7th may 2034 Frankel trails the wizard the first 5 to thank the post will receive a monkey...... He dismantled Ronnie 10:4 (AJ ?) Next generation you're watching the future of Snooker .... Am I the only 1 that can see this ??? Surely not . I've been a voyeur on IPB for years and started contributing a year or so ago.... References available from old old IPB ers who know me and current contributors if required... I've never welched on a bet or shafted anyone in my life apart from 1 man Thomas McCaul who I knocked for a onner in Cavan .... I feel absolutely no shame for not giving him the 100e and if I'm totally honest deep down I'm actually quite pleased I never gave it to him...Love playing at the same table as him in mtts cos I know it tilts the life out of him and there's always chips in the pot when he's at the table.... I'm 52 now if I die before I'm 67 Colm is my middle son and he'll ship the readies in the unlikely event that Frankel doesn't fulfill his promise.Originally posted by limpwhacker View PostMeditate on this one for a few decades lads.

Originally posted by limpwhackerYep hard to argue with that observation .... Seems to have come on a couple of stone since last year and as AJM would say listen lads we're very happy to win first time out he looks as a half decent prospect but let's not get carried away here he might never to 14 like Frankel we've had a bit of a lean spell over the last 10 years but sure we still get out bed in the morning band have a go ...we have a silver and a bronze from the last two Gold cups with Anibale Fly and ew punters got paid in the last two grand nationals at decent enough prices to keep punters happy. But let's call a fucking spade a spade hear the lads in the yard call me Harvey I've no fucking idea idea why something to do with a cunt called smith I think , I'm not sure to be honest but because my right hand wouldn't tell my left hand what it was doing and the fitzweazel reckons I'm as fkn bent as an S Hook just because I was riding a horse giving him a bit of a breather and when we came back into view from the stands I dunno maybe he got a 2nd wind something but we were 6 or 7 lengths clear and won handy Enuff in the end according to the fitzweazel anyway who told limpwhacker Clare who is Niamh's mum who coincidentally has just joined IPB today on Frankles Debut win .... 8 is the magic number for now we've just won our first one tonight and if I'm asked what I put this down to I can sum it up In two words FAMILY VALUES.... I can't remember what the rest of ye call my bro who picks my balls out but listen we've a long way to go " do I fancy myself to be the first 50 year old to win the world title well obviously because in all fairness if the GOAT can't do it who else will 8 will be handy Enuff I'm fairly sure I'll get to 10 but 14 like Frankel,,,, might just be a bridge too far ..... Thanks Judd and it's wonderful to see the targets you n the bro are going for records are there to be broken and you're just the man to do it. Anyway Enuff of that shite. I finished up where jbravado is heading DZB because on Shane's doorstep on Christmas night Claire Mac gave me the kick in the hole I needed to get down there.... I turned up a day late cos I won a bag and it took a while to give it back. I came up last Friday week to see if Mac was still alive hadn't seen him since he pointed the jeep north in Killarney and struck North for Greencastle .... Which reminds me of the first time I drove Mac to a hospital in Galway.... Now there one thing about Mac and Limpwhacker they always always pick up hitch hikers anyway the young French Lad who saw the car stopping and thought yes fckn result get in there I have a fkn lift had really no idea what he was letting himself in for .... Anyway ya can picture the story and draw your own assumptions I just have to tell it like it was Mac is too full prior to boarding and the ky Passat is our vehicle of choice for this trip we have a nice Bulletproof Merc that Mac bought off s judge in Eddies 250 acre estate in Redhills where The legends were reared 5 lads 1 in Canada 2 in Greencastle and Eddie 50/60 mil balls Mc Ilhinney My mate macs paperwork can be found in The Hague or online European court of Human Rights .... It's a great read I pissed myself laughing when I read it cos he'd told me the story... He wasnt long home from west wales .... He told a story today about the night he went to snooker hall in Newport.... He was on a building site earning 4e a week and walked out with 160 quid or 40 weeks wagesOriginally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Postthat is a whirlwind of a post!

“Once, there was a French president whom we shall call Nicolas. He didn’t have much money. In fact, he was desperate for some but, thankfully, his good friend the emir had plenty of it. The emir told him that he’d buy all sorts of things from France, expensive things like planes and nuclear power stations and Nicolas was very happy. But then the emir said, ‘There’s one condition, though, just a little thing.’
“‘What could it be?’ Nicolas asked.
“‘Just tell Michel to give us the World Cup,’ the emir replied.
“Nicolas didn’t have much of a choice. He needed the money. So he asked Michel to do what he was told, and Michel said he’d do it.”

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostAvoided it as much as possible to the extent that I don't get the nuance about boy B's final interview but it does seem there is something off about both of them being the same kind of guilty. I'd speculate that while B is guilty of something terrible but probably less than murder and deserves some sort of sentence A probably didn't ever belong in a court or anywhere else than behind the walls of Dundrum.
