and we are off to the impeachment races.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.

So a team who never had a sniff of getting out of their group getting beaten in what is effectively a dead rubber counts as a major upset ?
Let’s not forget that Fiji have been robbed of a bunch of their best players by the top tier nations
Tip to RWC organisers, drop a team from each group and your tournament won’t be such a bloated messLast edited by Guest; 25-09-19, 08:50.

Attention Nintendo Switch owners. There's a fantastic upgrade deal in Gamestop at the moment. Trade in your old switch +€30 for the new 1.1 model. This is not the lite model but an improved version of the original with some fixes and 70% better battery life. Its a no-brainer even just to get the extra years warranty. Also worth a punt to find a cheap 2nd hand console and trade up to the new one.

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostI'm surprised people are surprised, would be interesting to hear what Kayroo thinks but I read it as they they didn't even bother to defend the central lie that Scotland ruled on and just hoped it would be ruled not justiciable.
Key issues here:
1. There was no evidence provided by the PM or government as to why the prorogation was called. Save for three emails that were produced in discovery there was basically no evidence from the government at all. The Supreme Court were basically being told “this is none of your business so don’t interfere”. That means that once the justiciability threshold was overcome the government were bound to lose.
2. The justiciability ground was never as clear as the government made out. There was an element of dancing on the head of a pin when the Court distinguished between the prerogative power of the Queen and the lawfulness of the advice leading to the exercise of that power. But that’s a distinction the court were entitled to make where there was a conflict of rights between parliament and the executive. In such a situation the only remaining branch of government to decide the issue is the courts - thus it must be justiciable.
3. The remedy issue was something even Lord Pannick QC didn’t think he could get. Just to be clear - the Supreme Court went further than anyone asked them to. Watching it live the Justices all realized that what they were being asked to do by Miller and Cherry didn’t go far enough. The natural consequences of the declaration were that prorogation never happened. Even Pannick didn’t think he could convince the court to go this far. He bent himself in knots trying to avoid pointing out that if the declaration was given it would immediately bring parliament back to sit and trigger political consequences. But the Supreme Court accepted the consequences and made their decision.
4. The fact that it was unanimous is INCREDIBLE.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Interesting!

Made the trade in down in GameStop Bray and they were sound enough to transfer my data from the old Switch to the new one on the stop, which was a massive help.

What games are you playing these days? I have Civ VI on the go from time to time but try to stay away as I'm busy with college work. It's always just one more turn...!

Prob still bad overall for rugby World Cup as they really could do with chopping 4 teams to make 4 team groups but will use this result to justify not doing so.

Originally posted by coillcam View PostApparently Nintendo are heavily subsidising the deal and it will finish up in a few weeks. The old switches are being sold as pre-owned for close to RRP of a new switch also. Makes zero sense. The local gamestop lads were happy to let me hotspot from my phone to do the transfer there and then. Otherwise I would have had to bring the console home and bring the old one back later to get store credit.

Finished GRIS recently, which was short but fun, and before that it was Celeste, which is my kind of game but I was worried about as everyone was saying how hard it was, and I'm just not into masochistic gaming experiences like Super Meat Boy, etc... But got through without needing to use the easy mode, felt pretty happy about that!
Best Switch games I've played so far are Mario Odyssey (awesome), Hollow Knight (probably a Top 10 Ever game for me in over 25 years of gaming) and SteamWorld Dig 2. I played Breath of the Wild on the Wii U, but if I played on the Switch no doubt that would be my favourite, that's a Top 3 Ever game for me, simply incredible!

Originally posted by PSV58 View PostSorry to disappoint, I’m not that invested in Gaa , no tears here. Just find the spectacle of dub fans celebrating their “achievements “ a bit farcical, same as I do with Celtic fans, same as I would watching some playground bully (Dublin) dance on some scrawny kids head (the 31 amateur counties) while the bully’s friends (Gaa establishment) hold him down .

You sound a bit touchy about it, perhaps deep inside you know that their is a big asterisk next to Dublin’s “achievements “ and now your lashing out.

in terms of visits, if you like sculptures, the musee Rodin is a lovely spot, but it really is a looooot of sculptures!!gardens are lovely too if it's a nice day.
if you haven't been i'd always recommend the permanent collection at the musee d'orsay, which really is stunning.
if it's just a walk you're after, then from bastille to beaubourg via place des vosges and le marais is a change(lot of bars/cafes in le marais also).

Found 3 that look interesting . Saw the Picasso exhibition in d'orsay last year .. some place.
Bars
Caveau de la Huchette
Jazz fans will love a trip to the famous Caveau de la Huchette. The Caveau is a relic of a time gone by, an underground temple to jazz, and was recently featured in the Hollywood film La La Land(2016). It’s one of the city’s most legendary music bars and definitely not somewhere visitors are likely to simply sit and watch. The cellar, where there’s a small stage, features a large dance floor where regulars – some dressed in their finest jazz era fashions – guide their partners through swings and turns, pausing only to throw a handful of powdered chalk onto the slippery smooth tiles. Every night of the year, the Caveau welcomes guest performers of all jazz genres, so plan ahead if there’s a particular performance you’d like to experience.
