      I guess we know who Ian Hislop is cheering on.

      There have been a couple of odd moments recently, last nights Newsnight for one where a panel of non MP Tory commentators are talking about the candidates and every one of them agrees that of course Stewart is the only one who is not lying through his teeth and is clearly the best option for both the party and the country. But ho hum he has 0% chance so lets concentrate on how awful the rest of the candidates are and try to pick the least worst

      There was also this glorious clip of Juncker being asked his opinion

        won a semi final 57-3 today, going to into final next week for first final since 1957 vs team who will be at home for the game.

        it's been a hectic 3 weeks, we qualified for knockout rounds with 3 games to spare, lost the last game of season to end up with second seed vs possibility of first.

        the monday after this a few weeks go called into a meeting, was told I was fired because I was being replaced by a a proven winner, a guy who won 6 championships as a player, as a coach he he has won 3 games in 2 years and was relegated this year. My director announced it to the team joyfully9i havent picked his son in 5 games) and the team revolted, refused to accept new coach and said they only go forward with me. Boss calls me back in and says the team (well 98% of them) support you and I support you, i flipped out and turned into old needling poker self and really was unprofessional going to town criticising him as a person.

        regardless of what happens next week i'm fired,(similar to carlo ancelotti at madrid I guess) we carved up today, all the supporters were over the moon and I still cannot even get spoken to a board membersor director. they ignore my wife now, and the funny thing is she is worth more than all of them combined.

        I must say though there is a sense of liberation thoguh where I can pick a team and regardless of the result know that all that matters is the performance. it's pure sport without any politics
        Is that rugby?

        I must be missing a lot of context to the outrage.
        I’m the same, I don’t see the angle shoot, just the histrionics from the guy with A10.

Funny enough we are in Bali at the moment with a stop off in Hong Kong on the way back in a couple of days and aren't doing one in either place. In Bali the main reason is that I've found the local food rank and the Western food very good (plus doing a couple of short cycling tours) while HK apparently has the highest concentration of Michelin Star street food places in the world so hoping to fit as many of those as possible in on our own.

        There's a tour called something like Tenements and Tasting in Manhatten that's probably the best half day I've ever done anywhere.
        HK street food is over rated, I went to a Michelin place for DimSum and it was like a low grade Chinese at home. Try a few places maybe.

        I like the way he talks
        What’s his connection to it? Also is he fighting for healthcare for 911 workers? Seems incongruous with the American way.

          I was listening to some music on my earphones late last night jogging by Newcastle Graveyard, then I heard someone coughing loudly over the music right in my ear and then a huge breathy inhale/exhale. WTF , I turned around and nobody there . I got a bit edgy as I like to see the enemy should they wish to engage. BIG COUGH, WTFFF, ok, I was ready for combat and my current condition was set up for fight and not flight , so I braced myself for a battle with a spook or a creeper. I took off the earphones, It turns out it was on the fecking song , this version had the added authenticity of the guitarists bodily functions. A good workout in all for the ticker and when all is said and done I’m not Van Helsing so some relief

Lots of fire, balloons, fireworks, lasers, lights, so good. Timed fireworks to starting a riff in enter sandman etc. The opening to one was just class, mortar sounds with explosions on stage, fire, stuff that looked like machine gun fire etc
              good shit
              heard some places the crowd were really shit though
              they were mental by me though, people covered in blood haha

                    Jon Stewart is an advocate for 9/11 First Responders. As far back as 2009 he was advocating on their behalf and was given partial credit for helping the passage of the Zadroga Act.

                    He's been heavily involved on a personal level with the FDNY, EMS and NYPD groups who are lobbying Congress to keep funding up for medical coverage for (particularly) the respiratory illnesses.

                    Here's a link to a good discussion on Fox News about it. No really, Fox News. Shep Smith as far back as 2010 has been helping Jon Stewart with the media side of this.

                    You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

                      Japan - Mexico on here in the other Semi - http://mssev.com/brazil-vs-ireland-republic-1730/

                      Ireland looked really good against Mexico and did enough against Bahrain without being brilliant, have been watching due to Stephen Kenny managing and a Bohs player at left back. Bright enough future there if Kenny brings these lads through and takes over from McCarthy.

                          Class thanks for that, been looking for a good recording of it. Would love to see the screen for the whole thing. Bit of a mixup with them writing that it is whiskey near the start haha.

FFS!

                                    It's kind of weird in that most people describe him as a nice guy who's a bit of an asshole.

                                    For example, he brought over three nice bottles of wine, two for our dinner in Vintage Kitchen last night and one as a gift for me, but then he'll do and say things that will literally have your eyes rolling into the back of your head.

                                                Need an update apparently, no longer in use by The Guardian and others moving forward.

                                                Climate change to be replaced with climate emergency, crisis or breakdown.

                                                                                      The Irish Sun revealed Fine Gael TD Farrell sued for up to €15,000 — but only got €2,500 after a judge ruled in July 2018 that he did not suffer a “significant injury” and branded his case “unusual”.

                                                                                      Someone I know at a wedding was telling me about getting whiplash after a recent car incident. Met them then at a festival where they were giggling about being off work for a couple of months. Now they've put up one of those meaningful facebook pictures captioned "If You're Feeling Unhappy, Don't Push Yourself Harder".

I make jokes all the time in the office, almost exclusively about myself but not always and I’d hate to think I’d lose my job over it. I’ve always figured you can only slag people you know well or are higher up than you, I don’t agree obviously with mindless “banter” that’s just some tosser spouting bile through the medium of “irony” though.

They open at 6:30, get there about 20 mins before they open as the bar is tiny. Highlight of the city for me, the Duomo was fine and all and nice enough city to walk around in.

They open at 6:30, get there about 20 mins before they open as the bar is tiny. Highlight of the city for me, the Duomo was fine and all and nice enough city to walk around in. This place beside the Duomo too - https://www.amoitaly.com/milano/luini.html

I make jokes all the time in the office, almost exclusively about myself but not always and I’d hate to think I’d lose my job over it. I’ve always figured you can only slag people you know well or are higher up than you, I don’t agree obviously with mindless “banter” that’s just some tosser spouting bile through the medium of “irony” though.

Met them then at a festival where they were giggling about being off work for a couple of months. Now they've put up one of those meaningful facebook pictures captioned "If You're Feeling Unhappy, Don't Push Yourself Harder".
