Fack me!
Season 2 of the boys was excellent. Really enjoyed the music throughout. Eric Kripke sure loves a montage just like the good old Supernatural days.Comment

Any suggestions for myself and the Mrs, we generally hide in a room a couple nights a week from the kids and get stuck into something on Netflix. Nothing Superheros like the above but anything else taken on board. Currently on Ozark which will be done next week so looking for something next.Originally posted by coillcam View Post
Only really done BBad/BCSaul and a few docu-series like the F1 and aaron Hernandez etcComment

I'm not one to stop and watch the aftermath of an actual car crash, but as RD3 has mentioned I am a bit amazed by this one. The 5G stuff, the 'foreign shops', 'patriotism' etc. I'm old enough to remember when Waters was an o.k. journalist, though his only real claim to fame was knocking up S O'Connor, which seemed way cooler at the time.Originally posted by Hectorjelly View Post

As a journalist/opinion writer with the IT his modus operandi was to promulgate minority opinions wrapped up in a pseudo academic style of delivery.
At the time I assumed he was deliberately baiting the conservative readers with the intention of provoking them into actually considering alternative views.
Given his penchant for females with the intellectual rigour of the likes of Sinead & Gemma it seems he is simply a fraud whose ego craves attention.Comment

It feels worlds away when you see the drivel that does the rounds in US media but frightening to think that those two have some semblance of an audience in Ireland.Originally posted by DeeBrown View Post
That combined with the ability to reinforce and propagate their views so frequently and easily is just a little terrifying.Comment

A friend of mine used to have the run of that building when it was owned by a crowd he did maintenance for. He lived on the third and fourth floors for a while and I used to cycle a bike around the upstairs bar on the second floor for novelty craic while drinking cans. Have been out on the roof of it on a beautiful summer evening looking down the Liffey from a fairly unique vantage point and pretty sure he discovered a dead body in the derelict site beside it, probably in the mid-00s IIRC before it was developed.Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostThink upstairs might have been artists studios in recent years.Just saw the pics, same layout upstairs as it was back then but quite the transformation from when it was basically a semi-derelict squat upstairs. Nice.Last edited by BennyHiFi; 10-10-20, 12:39.Comment

Nearly didnt get out of a PP shop earlier. I walk in and place a bet and make to leave when I find the door is locked. I spot and press the white trip switch but no luck so I go up to the counter and theres 2 likely felons placing bets. I say through them to a teller that the door is locked and I pressed the button an all?. He said no its full were not letting anyone in. ???. But im trying to get out? and with that the manager comes in and says no theres 13 in already its full enough we cant open the door. How can you go out then?. No someone needs to leave 13 is the max and theres 13 in and we cant let anymore in im afraid he said shutting me down. I say thats all perfectly ok but I just want to get out!?. With that it dawns on him and the 2 felons and half the shop break their shit laughing!. Hes sees the funny side then and he says ah you have to press the button. I said I did press the button but the door isnt releasing. He says ah you have to keep it pressed while pulling the door!. You probably had to be there!. Think they were thinking I was angling to get someone in as it wasnt long since I came in.
I leave and go to the close by SuperValu and im just turning out of a sort of alcove in there when I see the manager coming at me with speed pushing a big fridge or something with another staff member and he bellows at me in this irrating voice he has ''Were going this way'' in a way as to say gtfo of my way like im one of his underlings. I bark back do you want me to disappear im going this way. The look of shock on his face at this rude specimen answering him back.
Im telling you ya cant leave the bleedin house without an incident.

Hadnt heard of that mad bint until recently. That fucking brain drill voice....

I know theres a few runners and athletics fans here. Sad to hear Pat Hooper died of a heart attack yesterday, just 68. Led a fairly interesting life. I'm sure some of the Dublin runners here may have come across him.
RIP
Patrick Hooper was an Olympian and former long-distance runner from Raheny, Dublin, Ireland. He represented Ireland in the marathon at European and Olympic level. His marathon personal best time is 2:17:46. He was the older brother of three-time Olympian and marathoner Dick Hooper.Comment

There was a guy (Irish Times health editor)making a fairly convincing argument that 'number of cases' is the wrong metric to focus on.

Ah yeah, a 1000 positives now is very different from 1000 positives last April. Biggest difference imo is that the median age is now 30, when it was more than twice that in April.Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View Post“Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.”Comment

Cork seems to be the new epicentre, and Cavan (proximity to border?).

They don't seem like scary odds to me. Mind you I'm doing a blood test on Tuesday for an inherited gene thing which significantly increases cancer risks, especially early onset, that I'm a coin flip for and I feel pretty good about the odds.

It's not those odds at all for those people though is it? If you have an underlying condition where something like this is what will finish you off then the odds are lower. If you are relatively healthy then the odds are much higher.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Postairport, lolComment

Cases are an easy way to see how the spread is increasing but it doesn't mean much else. Is there any decent data on % of asymptomatic cases? The real numbers must be several times the reportedairport, lolComment

Apparently the district that contains The Villages will be one of the first to finish their count on E-Day. Trump won 68% of it last time and if he falls off much from there, he's el busto in Florida (and hence nationally).

The quote I saw today was 2/3 of all Irish deaths were people over 80 who also had a pre-existing condition.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
For younger people without pre-existing conditions, it's the (largely still unknown) long-term effects, rather than very unlikely death, that should be scary."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment

Also, I've played golf a couple of times with a guy who's a little older and is definitely carrying too much weight but seems healthy enough. He has been readmitted to hospital twice with pneumonia like symptoms since recovering from Covid.
Risk of dying is quite low for the majority of the population but the aftermath seems to be a nebulous which is somewhat more frightening than simply knowing you'll have x side effects afterwards.Comment

I for one appreciate the use of the word 'nebulous' outside of Star Trek .Comment
