Beautiful.

The ramp was a lot steeper than 3 degrees. This is 3 degrees

Yo Emmet you any good at UNRAID? I've got it setup and I've configured a few bits but can't seem to figure out how to get things mapped/routed and my brain is fried from it all.

Sure, shoot me pms or an email with screenshots of whatever you're working on and I'll try get back to you. Pretty sure you've my details as I got that photo of yours on metal before?

[Mellor]

The second was Hendrick's and was named after me, I didn't know you could get them customised, so that was very cool!

I'm guessing your girlfriend Brazilian and that's her nickname for you. It means Little/Small Paul right?

[Mellor]

I think that's one of the humorous points being made CC! He also probably couldn't look under the foot of the general to detect if he was wearing rubber soles.

Trump didn't say 3 degrees though. Whoever added the graphics is exaggerating a lot. CC is saying it's that it's actually much steeper. Looks to be about 10 degrees from a screen grab.
It's completely ridiculous from Trump, but made up lies on the other side make the criticism look weaker imo.

Yeah someone tried measuring it from a screen grab and got 11⁰. As ridiculous as I generally find Trump I found his explanation reasonable. In fact I've often criticised BoJo for not using handrails when they are clearly there for a reason, but it would make him look weak on twitter.

Coming up with a reasonable explanation and backing it up with facts only to be shouted down and personally abused. I wonder how Bidden came up with such a tactic.

Who gives a shit how he walks down a ramp?

[Tar.Aldarion]

You're right on the meaning, it's an affectionate term for Brazilian's amongst a lot of other uses. That was from a Brazilian friend, they all call me that. My ex is from there and calls me Paulzinho or Zinho, same kinda thing. My girlfriend is Hungarian, that language is far more impenetrable to me, it's like Klingon. No matter what you say you sound angry and I can barely pronounce anything, mostly the only things I can say are the curses for some reason.


Found out they didn't get a custom bottle off some website, they did all the work themselves, made the label, made the tags. Damn son.

It speaks to his general levels of vitality. I don't want a leader who needs his fucking hand held going down a minor incline.

There was a good line in one of the weekend papers to the effect that 'the USA is becoming a gerontocracy'. When you look at the Dem primaries, the Majority house leadership (Pelosi), the Majority Senate leadershp (McConnell) and Trump, it's a fair point.

I come more from the.. if you do everything else well you can walk how you like... school of thinking. This is why he gets away with with so much because there’s outrage over everything. If you’re outraged at everything then you’re outraged at nothing.

[Lao Lao]

Had a fairly weird dream last night, been having a few of late but I normally can't remember them once I wake up.

This one is still fairly vivid although some details are a bit hazy.

I had moved to New York (on my own) and I was working and living with two lads I used to work with in a previous job. I'm still mates with them so nothing overly weird there but I was now single and we had a pretty cool gaff in NYC and our office was a rather nice plush affair, although I'm not sure what we were actually working at, it didn't seem like we were doing what we normally do.

Then, I get a call from RDIII, he had just moved to New York for work also and he invited me out to meet him in his offices. Now, I say offices, but they weren't your normal conventional offices. He was working in essentially, what was a stately manor. If you can picture the house in the TV show 'Trust' where Jean Paul Getty lived, you'd be right on track. There was lots of offices but they were all in really old large rooms, you know the type, lots of books shelves, all wooden paneling on the walls, old school desk, big leather armchairs, decanters of whiskey/brandy - all that jazz.

When I got there, the Duke told me he had to confide something in me. He had found two small offices in the mansion that didn't make sense. They were both very small and one had the title of 'Dept of the Environment' on it and the other had the 'Dept of the Economy' on it. He had gone into both of them but in each there was just one small desk, totally out of kilter in decor with the rest of the buildings and each office only had one person, both of which were elderly women who said they were secretary's but that nobody else worked there and that the Duke shouldn't be there.

RDIII also told me he took this info to his CEO (who he introduced me to). the CEO was a very elderly gentleman, who dressed like he lived in the 19th century, he was a fairly large round man who was well into his 60's (if not older) who sported a perfectly manicured goatee and mustache that almost curled back into itself. He had a monocle and an old school watch on a chain that sat nicely in his left breast pocket.

Anyway, RDIII told me that his CEO told him that those offices were none of his business and he was best to stay clear of them. he was quite stern about it which had surprised the Duke. As a result, he had did some digging and he was fairly sure that his company was bribing government officials, most likely to illegally dispose of hazardous materials. He now wanted me to help him catching them doing it

And, then I woke up.

[Solksjaer!]

And then I fell asleep

If I ever thought that I would have a crazed weirdo stalking me, Lao Lao would not have been at the top of the list.

Yeah the -inho suffix is common in Brazil. I recognised it from jiu jitsu. But suppose it’s common in football too (Ronaldinho). It’s a fairly intuitive language but pronunciation can be odd.

Old boss was Hungarian. Agree it’s Klingon.

A fair enough analysis. I thought they were taking the right approach at the time but it seems not. The thing is, the rest of Europe is now doing largely the same thing as Sweden and the virus is still a threat. At 5 or 6% immunity with all things being equal the whole thing should kick off again we'll all be on the Swedish path. Still so much unknown about transmission and severity of illness that its largely still a mystery and I wouldn't trust definitive statements from anyone, no matter their title.

In my defence, you followed me to New York and then invited me out to your office to get me involved in all types of skull duggery, I am completely innocent of all stalking accusations.

Hospital sent me a youtube video to watch which shows each of the steps you go through from arrival to departure - filmed with a real case of a patient in their hospital. Nice idea. 12 minutes long. The first 8 minutes is of how nice and clear everything is in the run up to the day - the room, all the staff smiling and helpful. Then the lady goes into surgery. She's a wee bit nervous but also nicely drugged up and generally looks like she's off to a fun day out. AND THEN the last 4 mins of the video starts with her being greeted in bed a few days later for a nice breakfast, going for a walk, meeting her friends, and out she goes to her happy new heart life. Cue uplifting music.

I think I speak for all potential patients with the doubt that maybe the three days cut from the journey in the film around the operation itself are rather critical to our reassurance of how to perceive the whole event.

Do you learn much Portuguese from BJJ or just the curses ?

Almost everyone is -inho in Brazil. It's essentially Seanie, Deco as well as literally being "little" Sean. Adding -ao at the end of a name is the opposite (Big Sean) but its less common.

The best one though is footballers who use first names but not surname as they are long and double-barrelled from both parents. So the first name appended based on what state/city they came from. Anyone with Paulista is from Sao Paulo and Gaucho (literally cowboy) is from Rio Grando do Sul.

Ronaldinho is commonly referred to Ronaldinho Gaucho in Brazil. Although there's only one Ronaldo in Brazil - Ronaldo Fenomeno because he's the only "real" Ronaldo, who was a phenomenon. The lesser known Portugeuse lad is always Cristiano Ronaldo or just Cristiano.

It’s common with jiu jitsu guys too. Cobrinha, Carlinhos, Marcelinho. Sometimes two brothers each get the big/little variation.
Need to go back and re-learn a little.

Who gives a shit how he walks down a ramp?

The only talking points out of this rally are:
Trump spent most of the time on the back foot whining about the media talking about his way of drinking water and walking down ramps.
Some of the people who did turn up are going to get covid out of it.
Trump is going to fire a campaign manager for not being able to lie about protesters causing no one to show up.

No batshit crazy policies, no wall, no email servers, no Soros ate my homework or sleepy Joe shite. That all sounds like to me like a major fightback and shifting of media media attention.

[Mellor]

Hungarian-Estonian-Finnish, thats the common family of language weirdness, isn't it?

They’re all related to each other and others.
Some of the real weird ones are the isolates. Languages unrelated to any other.

Looking like a new election.

where do you see this HH?

[Raoul Duke III]

Looking like a new election. Real pity as that Programme for Government was class. Probably the most ambitious thing seen in many many election cycles. Maybe because I'm not a politician but I don't understand how green party members are not really excited about the opportunity to implement the things they've spent four decades campaigning for. It's obviously not everything they want, but its so many things, and as a smaller party there's always going to be compromise. Hopefully they just run a quick election and sort out some sort of stability. I guess with FG as the larger party in a FG / FF coalition, but retaining a lot of the green policies as they're clearly so popular. Hard to see Greens not losing seats, as I'd imagine a lot of their voters last time are not too comfortable if they are proxy voting for SF. SocDems too who've proven themselves completely pointless through being interested in a coalition with no-one.

we should have a 5% threshold for entry to the national parliament

don't reach it on your own? Either join a party that does or fuck off to the county council where you belong.

[DeadParrot]

where do you see this HH?

Had something pop up for my alerts yesterday as NI greens were going to reject govt deal.
As the source was the express, I promptly ignored it.

[Strewelpeter]

I have an nephew who is a bit of a SJW who has a vote in the GP but at just over 30 now, soon to be married and having a mortgage is beginning to understand that politics is more complicated and nuanced than he realised before . I was able after a good bit of back and forth to persuade him that voting for government was the right thing, he reckons though that he will be one of the youngest people voting for it and there is very little chance it will carry.

I think they will give it another month and make one big push to move quickly with Lab, SD and indo's before they call an election.

Mary Lou missed another open goal to signal that her party has any interest in going into government when she lauded murderer, bank robber, alleged rapist and all round scumbag Bobby Storey as a man of peace added to her bizarre refusal to refer to Det. Garda Colm Horken by his rank, apparently that is by diktat from the men behind the curtain, it seems that she thinks she can win an overall majority next time around. Good luck with that,stranger things have happened.

[DeadParrot]

I honestly fear that SF will increase their seats.

My 9/1 punt on a second Election being called this year looking up?

Cunt of a day after depositing a large glass of red wine all over my laptop when my nag in the yankee racing was pipped for third on the line late Saturday night. Today consisted of acquiring a new laptop and a lot of effing and blinding as i try to get emails/files/certificates etc swapped over. Quite impressed it only took me a full days work considering how clueless I am.

Now to hunt down that jockey.

[Raoul Duke III]

Probably a given, but I'd imagine a lot of loose votes for SocDems, Greens, Lab will move towards FG. Plus they'll carve out a fair bit of FF support. Well providing they are smart enough to say they'll do all the cool green things in the pfg - cycle routes etc. Who knows though.

Talking to my buddy who is a pragmatic Green (like a real one, it is his job) and he reckons it gets through the membership after Martin came out in favour.

He does say Ryan is a dead duck.

There's so many things that Chu one has done that have annoyed me.
