And unlimited potential for whatever he wants to do for 600k.

            In Ashbourne! Mental prices but cant help thinking hes done well in the whole thing.
            Well, as you say, 'in Ashbourne'! Wouldn't be my idea of a good trade, assuming first house was in a decent area in Dublin, but of course I am just not a country person at heart, at this stage in my life I'd really struggle to move back to Galway city even, too small. All this being said, it's not like I make it out into Dublin city centre very often these days, I bet I spend 90+% of my time within the boundaries of Dublin 18!

                ionapaul Have you listened to to the new Modest Mouse album yet, The Golden Casket?

                Isaac and the lads seem to have mellowed quite a bit, not nearly as angry but still some really good tunes on it.

                    Interesting the adjectives used though: 'huge', 'massive', 'large', 'unlimited'.

                    I wonder how many people reside in this palatial abode?

                      Not yet! Will have to do so soon. Am currently enjoying the new War In Drugs album, already excited about next year's gig.

                          Pretty sobering assessment by Pat Leahy around the prospects of the Brits triggering Article 16 and the likely implications.

                          “There will definitely be some sort of trade war between the EU and the UK,” a sources familiar with discussions on the matter at the highest levels of Government here tells me. Another person in similar position says “there will 100 per cent be a trade war. Nobody in Brussels believes otherwise.” Later, he adds: “And we will be stuck in the middle.”

                              I don't who Pat Leahy's source would be (though presumably it's senior rather than Karen on reception) but I found the bit you quoted quite annoying, if this is really the thought process at government level.

                              If its the EU v UK then it's not possible for us to be 'in the middle'. We are the bleedin EU. We are frontline. It's not something where you can be mr neutral. Stop thinking you can play both sides, you are either committed to the EU or you aren't.

                                I think you are taking it too literally.

                                We're the only EU state that has a land border with the UK. The UK separates us geographically from the EU mainland. If there is a trade war, we'll be on the front line of it and we'll be the worst impacted by far.

                                So yeah, we'll be in the middle of it. But obviously on Team EU.

                                  Will do! Really looking forward to it, reviews have been great and I don't have the highest bar when it comes to musicals, probably seen about a dozen different ones over the years and the only ones that didn't hit for me were Mamma Mia (dragged by my then-GF when in San Francisco over 20 years ago), the Lion King (dragged by the same GF when in London over 20 years ago) and Blood Brothers (in the Bord Gais about a decade ago). Les Mis the best one I've seen for sure, if Book of Mormon is half as good it will be an enjoyable evening

                                      Anyone watching the rugby matches on Amazon Prime BTW? Coverage is surprisingly decent, they're going to some effort. Deep deep deep pockets I suppose.

                                        Very much the frontline, we (the EU) need to get right behind it, escalate rapidly, show them we mean business with shock and awe tactics that will have them capitulate before Christmas. If we go for any middle ground trying to negotiate with them as if they were playing fair then it will be us on the frontline dying face down in the mud. Fuck them if this is the way they want to carry on.

                                              According to Brussels sauce #2 (works in the Commission), that is very much the mood music over there now. They finally realise Boris can't be trusted, even the Germans who were very much the moderating influence in the first negotiations.

                                              Be careful what you wish for and all that...

If you add in the cost of supplementing for the L'abbaye you'll have put a fair dent in the 220K pot it won there. That's what it's for though I don't know anything about the owner but I doubt he'll have any regrets.

It wouldnt be so much a trade war but an obliteration.

Im lumbered with it. Note - The price of groceries has sneaked up so much I'm turning my nose up at the ALDI middle aisle. No fun anymore when you cant buy a foot spa that also turns the water different colours whilst playing Astrid Gilberto for 40 quid.

I mean I know that the Tories arent the sharpest but surely taking a step that would ultimately lead to a trade war would cap all the dumb things they have done in the last 5 years.

                                                                                                            In order to give effect to a trade war you need the people, the infrastructure and the IT capacity to actually enforce the trade defence measures - they currently have none of these. It wouldnt be so much a trade war but an obliteration.

                                                                                                            And thats before we even get into the International fall out from such a move.
