Managed to bluff my way through about 20 minutes of a meeting today not knowing what it was about, until in the 21st minute my opponent asked a question that indicated she knew all along that I knew nothing. There's nowth as cruel as unis. Must remember to use that on someone someday, as I crumbled like a crumble and spent the rest of the meeting humbly agreeing to everything she asked of me."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Well despite all the doom and Gloom and January Blues. I LOVE January.
It’s the start of the sporting year and there are so many great events to look forward to. I am a bit disappointed about NoVax Djocovid (the latest jibe) is missing the Aussie Tennis as it takes away from it when the world no1 wouldn’t bother his hole to get the jab done. However all the golf Majors, the footie finals , the tennis, the GAA madness starting again. Etc etc. Then there are a few gigs (covid fk off) I hope to attend and a planned visit to the lake district in blightly with the kids (never been tis about time) . I’m looking forward to 2022. Negativity BEGONE.

If it's any consolation, there's a lot of opportunities in the IT sector atm. Anyone with DB/SQL/BI related skills seem to be in high demand. Best of luck o the search.

I was -2.75 in both eyes.
Best job ever.
Consultant was in Waterford, and went to Cork for the surgeon.
He was doing like 10 people that day, so I felt that was a good thing, he's well practiced?!!
You're actually only on the machine for about a minute or two, with it in action for only a max of ten seconds per eye.
They offered a mini valium which I took because hey I'm paying for it anyway, and I'd recommend sunglasses and some drugs to knock you out for 8 hours after the op.
Eyes were usable after a sleep, bar sensitive to light (and screens) for maybe 2/3 days after.
Driving at night was a bit glaring for a fortnight.
eyes still 40/40 now.
I think it could have been 2500 or so, and you get 20% back in tax relief. Cheaper now I bet?
I've a referral link if you go with them.﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿

Had a recessed tooth to the right of the front two at the top. Root canal a few years ago, and the best explanation of the cardiologist was that not treating that on time was what caused the heart problems. The only remaining issue was that the recession of the tooth had messed up my perfect cheeky yet trustworthy grin. Had the crown fitted yesterday to straighten out the teeth and, honest to god, I think I'm back up to 10/10 as a fine specimen of a man.

Micknail - my employer get's some services from your crowd, not a huge amount but there's a bit of an overlap. I was thinking that's who you worked for but you've confirmed it now by mentioning the new owner. What area do you work in?

1. Getting a driving licence.
2. Getting Invisalign clear braces.
I'm almost three years into Invisalign at this stage due to being an atypical case. Would be done already but for multiple covid based delays, hoping to finish up soon. There's an unbelievable difference in my confidence, I'm a completely different person in photos and a lot self-conscious. Couldn't recommend it enough. Didn't have a pot to piss in as a gossin and probably should have got a loan to do it in my 20s.

Got laser surgery when I was 20. 2 minutes of pain/very uncomfortable and now 13 years later I'm still 20/20 vision. I got it done in Whitfield private in Waterford by a James o' Brien.
Never could get on with contact lens and played a lot of sport in my teens with glasses on. Hence a lot of trips to opticians with irate mother to get new glasses. Ironically I am now employed by a company that makes 1 billion+ contact lensRedbet at the Dublin Poker Invasion FTW

First time ever staying in a hostel but each floor had a kitchen and several fridges that you could store food and drinks in and noone would touch it.
The world of tours are available, from Northern lights to Full on Dog Sledging, Blue lagoon is very touristy, great day out mind, but there are other less known similar experiences.
Travel man did a long weekend there with Bill Baily over the xmas it was shown, new host also to that show, Joe Lycett, should be on C4 catch up.This too shall pass.

I saw something about the French Open having similar restrictions, which would be great. Sadly no prospect of the UK or US doing similar for the other majors."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S.

Was only saying it to thw wife we should go soon, when I went it was with a group of police friends, they had a spare spot so i jumped on board, think i paid around 400 for 4 nights accom, flights, blue lagoon and on the other side the |Icelandic police organized all the tours and bar crawls, didnt have to think about anything...told a time and place and just be there, that was great !
Few here with family as members im sure, make sure they have an active IPA section, feckers have their own bonded travel agency, heavily discounted apartments all over Ireland, great travel deals if you can tag along.This too shall pass.

Back then it was crushingly expensive to drive. I remember working out that to rent and run a 4wheel drive there for three weeks was costing more than 1/5th the price of a semi D house in Ireland. I met a lad at a fishing pier who was hoisting his his land rover onto a boat that was heading for Scotland, he was sending it to get serviced and have four new tires fitted there for a fraction of the cost of getting it done at homeTurning millions into thousands

Kids wanted me to buy them a Disney movie, we buy them movies on Google play store every now and then.
HD version of it was €19.99 so I said fuck it and subbed to Disney + for the year instead.
I know of Dopesick, and Get Back, but what else is good on there?I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
