I see the Irish lad who won the Bonnington Platinum Pass still rocking a decent stack after Day 2 in Bahamas with 250 players left, $4m to shoot for. Good luck to him. Was Denny Crane on that FT too or did I imagine that?

Bubble just burst so he's cashed now too. Some going.

[Denny Crane]

I've been hitting refresh all day to find out the story on that

Probably did a mindfulness course

I think it's something he stopped doing a couple of years ago at this point. From memory it was just a habit and he decided to stop.

Was fully expecting the spoiler to state why OPR stopped signing off posts.

Yeah he was good. Ran over the tournament for the last few tables.

It filled in the back story of how the world was destroyed, what to expect from the govt and set out the theme’s for Joel and Ellie.

it could be standalone and could have made a good film but it was also really important to setting up the emotional stakes for the rest of the season.

Who was the last Irish international to play in the LaLiga?

At a guess Ian Harte

[Goodluck2me]

Or kept (or was the squad full?)

Strange one as he's been starting pretty regular even sice the WC. Hope it works out for him.

[Dice75]

Never mind the above. I just saw he did end up moving to Atleti Madrid. Assumed it had fallen through and he was released to get a chance to join another club.

Funnily enough spurs had too many players out on loan so he had to be sold or released.

Was a great episode with some excellent acting and the fact it could be totally standalone might piss people off but they are wrong imo. I was glued to it and it was awesomely well done.

Ah I just wanted to se if Joao Cancelos drop off is as real as reported.

Pep is ruthless. Out the gap. He was the best full back in the league at the start of the season. Rumoured to be disruptive behind the scenes.

Conte just as ruthless. Doherty goneski too. Although they agreed to release him because they had too many players shipped out on loan. Too many full backs too. Thought there was an issue with joining Atleti Madrid but just saw it was confirmed. Interesting to see if he gets much game time under Simeone

[Theresa]

I actually turned the first episode off halfway through when it first aired a few weeks ago. I didn't know what it was going to be about but once I realized I just thought the genre had been done to death and was tired of the never-ending steaming pile of crap that has been churned out around it. The lack of much else worth watching at the moment and the acclaim this episode is getting made me go back and give it another go. Certainly glad I did. Such a good episode of television.

Fantasy football and the Premier league app would have the basics. Whoscored is another popular site.

Anything in depth or beyond the norm I'm sure there's 1 or 2 in the professional stats/data

What stats are you looking for?

A few things. Highlights were one horse improved 61 pounds according to the handicapper. Backed from 20s to 6/4 and won. His mates sons laid it not to be placed in its previous runs and lumped on when it won. An old fashioned stroke really. Landed a gamble with another one as well. He also had a few of his horses in another trainer's name. Bit naughty but hardly worthy of taking away his livelihood for 12 years.

Dont think its harsh. Punters should be protected . Its not just the bookies he hurts

Is there anywhere to see stats for a football player for their last 5 / 10 games?

Pour encourager les autres imo

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but is it(the ban) not to disencourage others

Netflix is absolutel trash

thinking MUBI might be worth a look for movies mix of classic and new releases not a marvel movie to be seen
they have Aftersun already and loads of stuff you’ll never see on Netflix and the rest

[MysteryGuest]

I was disappointed this isn't on Netflix. Afraid to watch that free episode as I'll probably then have to subscribe to whatever it's on ...more dollars per month

Went into that Chemist Warehouse place on Henry Street in the run up to Christmas and my monthly prescription which is normally €147 came out at €104. That was for the brand names too, no generic replacements.

The business model for local chemists is on its last legs.

WHen the mask regulations were introduced I bought some from a local chemist. They had a sign on the door with "3 masks for €5.00" (it may not have been €5 can't remember exactly) She popped 3 masks without any protective packaging into a brown paper bag! So they were breaking down bigger packs obviously and coughing all over them
Haven't used them since

Thought it was extremely severe myself

Yeah without a doubt. Not the first trainer to pull off a stroke and won't be the last.

loads of online chemists already exist in the UK and all repeat prescriptions can be delivered straight to your door on a weekly, monthly basis.

Lowry and Bo broke up today.

Interesting to see if he has a big caddy or someone lined up. The brother will probably jump in for an event or two.

Trainer has a 50% strike rate this season (5 from 10) - never heard of him but must have a decent clue. Although I can't back it on principle.

Maybe they have to write their verdict?

According to that bastion of good sense and rational reporting that is, er, the Irish Sun, that does seem to be the case.

GERRY “The Monk” Hutch’s murder trial will resume on Thursday – with just a few weeks of evidence remaining.

The three judges at the Special Criminal Court will then take approximately one month to deliver their verdicts in what is expected to be a lengthy written judgment.

Now let's meet Kelly, 18, a barmaid from Essex whose interests include wearing very little.

Find it slightly fascinating that a jury of 12 peers gets put under immediate time pressure, called back into the courtroom once or twice a day to ask if they've reached a verdict or are likely to do so.
Whilst a jury of 3 judges gets to state 'sure we'll be back in a couple of months lads'.

Something I learned today which makes so much sense. In Belgium your annual salary is divided into 14 payments and you get double payments in June and December.

What started out as "we might get the kitchen units painted" has turned into a whole refurb, new floor tiles, new counters, new backsplash, new hob, new extractor, lights and paint...which will extend to the dining area and utility

Not up to date on today but have been enjoying the accompanying HBO official podcast, the way they go through the art of making this i very interesting.

Yeah it's been brilliant. It's been said in a lot of places but the showrunners love of the game shines through in the quality of it all. I'm a nerd for world ending shit though so prob biased.

Regulatory red tape probably means it will be some time before we see the same offered in Europe but this will surely completely obliterate the brick and motor chemist industry.

There's a definite market for a well implemented technology solution here, especially if it's integrated with video GP services.

Most of the hassle is chasing gp appointment slots, then chasing the pharmacy to get your script ready. Also if they don't have the medication in stock you usually don't find out until arriving there.
