The funny thing was he was looking for a job.

I think it's human nature to presume people are in the same boat as you.


I was at an extended open bar work do, late in the night I was chatting to someone I barely knew, looked down, realised he was drinking a soft drink. Ah fuck.

People who aren't drinking should be issued with a sticker for safety reasons.

I didn't put in my foot in it to any great extent but I wouldn't have assumed the same level of social lubrication.

It's something that I'll have to be conscious of in the future. More people are going off booze as they get older.

Capel St Chinese aficionados, I'm taking a trip into town tomorrow on the bus with two of the little women.

Any tips on an authentic experience where an 8 year old and a 5 year old might get some not too crazy looking noodles and be welcomed?

Pretty much anywhere is good. If you really want to stick with Chinese you might be better going to Parnell Street. Like Sichuan Chili King or the places beside it.


I went for lunch in Hilan on Capel street. When I arrived the instantly woman smiled and said said your friend is here and pointed me to my table. We were the only non-Chinese people there

Since the inception of chatGPT, there has been a bit of a cat-and-mouse game between some of the users and the people who own it. The owners have for various reasons censored and neutered its abilities. People on Reddit have continually tried to probe it in certain ways to get around these safeguards. This one is great.

I got it to code something for me recently. I questioned something that I thought was a mistake. And it replied "good catch!" and fixed it . I asked it a couple of times could it improve on it's answer, and it iterated through it. I still had to finish it myself in the end.

It's like it's a lazy child and it's worth asking it, "is that the best you can do"

Have nothing on the food side, but highly recommend the 'Next Bus Dublin' app over the versions from Dublin Bus or TFI https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nextbus.dublin

Surprised people think Greenwood won't play for United again. If they were going to bin him they would have terminated his contract when he was charged. He's definitely coming back.

Internal process until the summer, then rehab followed by apologies capped off with donations to a domestic abuse charity. If he performs well it'll be forgotten about even quicker. Apart from a few catchy tunes from away fans.

If you subscribe to top level sports you are accepting extremely talented, enabled, well paid, narcissistic athletes committing loathsome acts whether you like it or not. For reference, see... every sport ever.

If you have the talent, you're in your good years and a team has a need. You will have a chance to play unless the prison cell door is locked behind you.

I guess it depends on how you know him and why you are meeting him but IMO if it's not pure business, more or less anyone I know well enough to be catching up with after a few years I'd more than likely letting a few home truths spill out.

<horse tipping career plans put on hold>

I met a guy today for a coffee, hadn't seen him for about 3 years. In the space of 15 minutes he managed to sprinkle his conversation with racist asides about Indians and Jews, plus a dollop of anti-female stuff. This in the context of explaining why his career hadn't gone the way he had hoped and also why he was single.

It was almost funny on one level. I caught myself looking around to see had I been transported back to the 1950s and was Don Draper sitting at an adjacent table. Mostly I felt sorry for the guy but also somewhat offended at his blithe assumption I shared his views.

Just...odd.

Seems to suggest you’re correct

Id imagine not having him back on there would cause some contractual or otherwise dispute. I think you seem him there now, then quietly transferred to some shitty team somewhere abroad in the next window.

Don't think he will play, probably train on his own. ETH probably doesnt want it, and I doubt owners do with potential sale, and I very much doubt the team do.

Reading Money by Martin Amis at the moment. Its some book - a while since a novel quite gripped me for its inventiveness.

I read 60 pages of this on the plane. Might have to admit defeat, that it's not for me.

Exciting times for Eamo and Dublin airport.

Looks like they're trialing a machine that scans bags as they are, nothing needs to be removed. Zipped right through.

In Shannon since last year...ye need to leave the Pale.

[Wombatman]

His girlfriend most likely got a big pay out and signed an NDA right? Wonder how that works. Is the money held in escrow until the charges are dropped?

[6starpool]

Wouldn’t disagree with that at all. Though Partey is happily playing away in the premier league for Arsenal under not dissimilar circumstances so I’ve no idea how it’ll end up, and the Mendy case is also working its way through the courts in France - https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/art...6011563_7.html

Difference with the Partey one (and I may be wrong on this) is that there is no video, no photos, no audio, etc which seem pretty damning. Even if his girlfriend has forgiven him and there isn't enough to prosecute on without her involvement, that's a far cry from not having done anything wrong. I don't know if the Partey thing is just one word against another at this point or if there is more to it, but a clear difference at this point imo. Ban them all for life though, just in case.

[Denny Crane]

I was in terminal 1. Only saw one of them.

They're standard in newer places.

In Dublin they're getting rid of the liquid limits later in the year. Guessing it's when they do the full rollout.

[coillcam]

Great news for reducing airport stress. The amount of hassle those scanners will save!

The one time I got pinged for a full bag inspection was when the airport had a huge security queue. A further queue for bag inspection and then a sprint to the gate. All due to a laptop charger and battery pack that I was told could stay in the bag.

Denny Crane what terminal is this trial happening in or do you have any more info on it?

As soon as Bradley threw the team under the bus regarding the logo I immediately thought he’s never winning the show now.
That’s a fundamental personality trait that Sugar would hate.

No surprise she went but neither of those lads are winning.

Dani remains the fav for me.

I’d be very surprised to see him back on the pitch for Man Utd. My initial thought was he’d go abroad, maybe the Italian or Turkish league.
If he continued to progress, a team in England may take him back in a couple of years provided he stays out of trouble.

Everton might take him
They love Man Utd cast offs

If yer one had of put out he'd wouldnt have been in trouble .

There is a difference between someone being not found guilt in court and someone where the charges were withdrawn because key witnesses withdrew their statements.

I think there was far too much damaging stuff in the original things that came out to ensure that he never has as top level a career as it looked like he would 15 months ago, but at the same time, if he can take any opportunities offered to him, he would still be able to have a career out of it, but he won't be marketable at all in terms of any lucrative sponsorships. I doubt he'll play for utd again, but equally they likely won't be able to just sack him without a big payoff.

The Mason Greenwood case will make for some interesting debate over the next few weeks. It’s probably not unlike the Paddy Jackson thing where there is enough smoke without fire to create too much of a disturbance in the camp. I think the notable factors from a decision making perspective (without debating this actions) are that i) united need a striker so might be more inclined to take him back and ii) they’ve been playing so well and with a seemingly improved discipline that it would seem likely they bring in someone who could disrupt that.

I’m in the “don’t bring him back” camp, because I think it’ll create a whole load of disturbance and ii) because I have no idea of the facts of why the case was dropped etc. so I’m not taking any vie on it.

The story is unfathomably difficult to know what actually happened through the timeline of events. The only known info is the videos, photos and bail condition breaches. What information came to light leading to charges being dropped, that's the most curious part to me. I don't think this will be made public or leaked.

There are never any winners. The repeated takeaway in these cases reinforces how hard it is for abuse victims to come forward. Irrespective of guilt, innocence or otherwise.

Just came across the original video that was leaked, definitely more than enough for me to be happy never to see him play for united again. Mightn’t have done what was charged, but the bar for playing in such a high profile club has to be higher than criminal prosecution I think.

[Theresa]

Thanks for the replies , i think this story has more legs . Its interesting how cheating at golf and snooker results in such passionate hatred and in eg soccer where the players are expert divers they get exalted by the fanbase. I think it bollox that it should be a gentlemans game with whats at stake. They need to police it better .

I cant imagine what benefit Reed would derive from cheating so openly. If he DNGAS then i suspect he has some intellectual challenges as he must be at least aware of the growing bad of hatred. Nobody can be that unaware ?

I think Renegade is a perfect description

Ah I think its the positive tone in which you mention the renegadeyness.

Diving in soccer is a joke too. Thats a harder problem to solve which way blurrier lines. This is the least of blurry lines. It was a different fucking tree! haha

[Solksjaer!]

also I'd just like to give Ro credit on his putt on 18. Im a big believer he's a biscuit but that was under pressure and he made it.

Do you think he makes it if Reed is in his group though? That's the reeeeal question.

What more pressure could he possibly have lumped on himself. The PGA defender supreme. He was clutch . Huge putt that bodes well for the season. The Rory haters must be disappointed
