Listening to a podcast where the guy describes himself as a good singer, and when the hosts probe a bit deeper, he goes (seemingly not as a joke, an American guy so maybe he didn't realise the international nature of the song): well its a song I sing at birthdays called 'Happy Birthday to You'. So he had defined his ability as a good singer based on the happy birthday song. It just seemed a very limited range of singing ability on which to judge yourself a good singer.

I had a friend take general photos last week but it wasn't much help.

That taxman ain't making a canoe out of me
If I were subject to Irish CGT, because the rate is so bad, I'd be looking to find as many tax avoidance measures as I could. One that jumps out at me is to realise the full allowance each year.
Eg, if somebody buys 5k. Holds for 4 years, and over that time it appreciates to 15k. The gain is 10k, and less the 1270 allowance, the tax is 2,880.
If they traded 1270 into another asset each year. they'd half their effective gain. so tax is also about half.

Ah! Wow that's super shit. Thought it was the same as a regular tax allowance where the first 1270 of tax due is not due. They're such bollixes.

Edit: typing Florida, I just now realised the rapper Flo Rida is literally that name just with a space and that's the intent of the name. Had always (in my very limited interactions with his space) emphasised the 'rida' = 'rider' aspect of the name.Last edited by Hitchhiker's Guide To...; 16-09-21, 12:41."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Florida lol.- I probably mentioned this before.
I remember years ago the other half was on a project in St Pauls so I flew over for a few days (1st class paid for by her job tyvm) . We went to Bushe Gardens with her colleagues , and me being a rollercoaster nut back then was getting on every ride in the park. However nobody in our group fancied the rollercoasters. I was half jarred on those alcho Jelly things along with a few beers was a wee bit loud (yes louder than the locals). I roared ‘WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE’ every turn in roller coaster etc and I was slagging the arse off the local yokels , banter etc. Then they started following me all over the park. got a dressing down by the missus . We are here with Colleagues so don’t be mixing with those or going off with them . Anyway I gave them the slip and we went into some show in a big tent, about 20 of them marched down the aisle after asking the usher if she saw an Irishman (lol) coming in. Wtf, we were talking next day and we said, it was probably like when a lion see something it never saw before , plays with it for a while then kills it. Yokels and beer , (and ME) I’m thinking the missus saved me that night from a yahoo style execution

Been hearing about a ridiculous number of people with corona recently. It must be rampant. No-one seriously affected, more bothered by having to stay home, so thank you vaccines, but it ain't gone away for sure. I don't know why there are 10% of gobshites wandering around unvaccinated."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

A video of Joe at home after being 'rescued' from the hospital.
I went into the video knowing he was an anti-vaxxer and apparently quite a few other dodgy things also. Had stood for election as some weird intolerant party ages ago, I think.
But when you look at the video all you see is someone who was and is absolutely scared to death. And probably taken advantage of as a result.
Apparently, he's now back in the hospital and in an induced coma. Best of luck Joe."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Florida isn't part of the historic Deep South unlike the other states you mention (although people will dispute Texas), it's always been a place unto itself with a unique culture and tradition - one that seems to have gone on steroids lately."We are not Europeans.

Like, devil's advocate how? You think the lad removing the Covid patient from hospital is the sensible one here and the doctor and nurse are somehow the ones in the wrong? This isn't a case of "I'm just asking questions". What do you think is going on if you feel his breathing isn't laboured etc despite the doctor explicitly saying to him, in the video, that he is "barely able to breathe there now" while the other chap says the doctors are going to kill him. Which one of them are you saying is right?You are technically correct...the best kind of correct
