    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.

      Rang the Wexford County Council Environment office today, the woman said she didn't think they would do it on private property, but she didn't seem too sure to me.

        What was the basis of the tip anyway? He appears to be a young deep lying midfielder who has scored 7 goals in 116 appearances.

          Odd, are you sure it was inside the property and not on the roadside, that's where you see it turning up in the infill after roadworks.

            To the best of my knowledge. My parents were told the overgrown garden couldn't be cleared because it had it. I'm happy it was sprayed, I'm just wondering if it has been done over a period of time to do it properly. I'll have to go down and have a look. I had a friend take general photos last week but it wasn't much help.

                Up against his first "proper" opponent now and 6-0 down. Only just started watching now so not sure if he's actually playing poorly or if Jayson Shaw is just playing very well.

                  I wont get to see it this evening but if that's the Scottish chap, the commentators mentioned last night that hes one of the best in the world and Judd would be up against it.

                    Yeah, that's him. He's a very good player alright.

                      Hes a great prospect and takes the free kicks. 14 to 1 was a good bet to score anytime I thought. Watch him big future.

                            What happens if he comes on and scores in that scenario?

                              Void is void . Bet stipulates he must start for the bet to be live. In normal bets where this is not stated you are live if he comes on. This is just for anytime scorer obviously. For 1st goalscorer if it 0 0 at 90 mins and he comes on. You have a bet . If a goal is scored before he comes on bet is refunded.

                                AFAIK the treatment has to be repeated over a couple of years and this is the right time of year to be doing it, if it was treated previously now is the perfect time to give it another blast of roundup and you might well be rid of it for good.

                                The thing about knotweed is that you can't ignore it it has to be dealt with.

                                  That hospital video with the guy praising Dolores Cahill is deeply disturbing. The look on the old guys face.

                                    That taxman ain't making a canoe out of me
                                    The issue with hodl'ing is that you are deferring the suffering to the future. Any gains to don't realise now by trading, will be hit by 33% when you do.
                                    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.

                                    Yeah, it really is enormously shit. The UK's allowance is GBP12k, almost 15k euro.

                                            Bonkers that the US is still banning vaccinated EU travelers from entry, with no plan to change in the near future. Vaccine Passports seem to be a political hand grenade oven there.

                                              Almost 2,000 deaths yesterday. Almost all unvaxxed. The vast majority in red states.

                                              Seems a strange political play to encourage your own voters to die preventable deaths.

                                                    you saw the Donegal video from yesterday? Its not just Florida.


                                                    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.

                                                      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

                                                            I think Florida has pretty much always been No 1 in the 'craziest state in the US' awards. Just a mad place generally.

                                                                                              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.

                                                                                                      Apparently, he's now back in the hospital and in an induced coma. Best of luck Joe.

I moved in and told them to feck off. Undeterred the leader kid cheeky as fk said it's not your car. I said . It fking is now get the hell out of here .

Lying to him? Putting him on a ventilator (a scarce resource) for the hell of it? He also visibly does have a line in his right arm and a bandage over the location where they presumably had a line previously in his left arm. Can't see these track marks you're referring to, in that video at least.


                                                                                                                  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?

The doc says at one point he might die if he leaves and nut job "rescuing" him says it's better he dies at home. Its absolutely mental and his breathing is clearly not right. I'd take a doctors word before the lad trying to drag him out praising that Cahill gowl
