Would love to go on some sort of an skite all the same

Last weekend I came home to a surprise take away from our local fancy restaurant two cooks in Sallins who had a Japanese chef in and were doing a sushi and ramen takeaway, was one of the best moments of the last six months! Amazing food, a few weeks ago they had an Indian chef in but I missed that and they are now taking a few weeks off. I really hope they manage to survive the crisis.

Location, location, location.

Oh I know GPS location has a huge amount to do with it but I also believe they are listening as well.

it's no surprise that they do this, it so commonly known. I guess it's just equally impressive as it is scary at how good they are at it.

I feel like an argument for/against golf or even something about the GAA as an elite sport is something Hitch could really have a bit of fun with on Twitter.

A+ pollster has Biden 3 points up in Iowa.

Feed me that juicy polling goodness, nyom nyom nyom....

[Raoul Duke III]

Jesus christ.

Just when you think the bizarro can't get any more bizarre. Need the footage obvs but I'd say good chance this completely overshadows the debate Thursday.

Don't worry, absolutely huge weekend of rugby available this weekend. Some entertainment to be had.

I’d rather do a full weekend of family zoom quizzes

[DeadParrot]

My family seemed to collectively take the opportunity of my getting off early today to melt down :smile: Daughter wired to the moon, wife did something to her ankle and couch bound and FIL scalding the mouth off himself eating dinner.... Didja ever wonder what those reports where neighbours say "he was a lovely quiet fella, always pleasant" in the aftermath of craziness stem from?
Beer time I feel.

[Lazare]

Not sure what the rules around aftertiming on behalf of someone else are, but.

One of my customers was up with me on Saturday, when he left he popped into PP and stuck a €4 acca on, 8x horses.

Said he was in a hurry and didn't give it much thought.

Collected €14,800.

Fuck me.

You weren't in Tescos Drogheda earlier by any chance??

[Raoul Duke III]

Yes folks, this is Rudy Giuliani.

Maybe Hitch should buy him an Oculus. It would be less embarrassing.

Obviously a man who is so used to getting pussy offered to him as a side-benefit of doing business in that part of the world that he doesn't even think twice about the validity of the offer.

By 'that part of the world', you mean the NYC hotel this happened in?

I got the idea of our golf trip next year from them.

Dooks, Waterville & Doonbeg(sorry Lahinch, Tralee & Ballybunion all closed). Great value if planned at the right time.

He was a hero at one stage.

and Michael Flynn was a four-star general at one stage. Everything Trump touches turns to shit. It's like the Midas touch in reverse.

Similar to what I said about the golf thing. Surely as a public figure the first thing in your head in a situation like that is that it's a set-up But that's selection bias on my part, as the only time I see it is when it's a set-up. Maybe it works out differently for people like Rudy and DSK.

Either way, it's a still that's part of the marketing of the movie. I'm just a little bit skeptical. Maybe he was just leaning back tucking in his shirt

[Solksjaer!]

I was tucking in my shirt one night. 9 months later it was a BOY.

[DeadParrot]

Now comes the part where they release 15 seconds before this where he most definitely NOT tucking his shirt back in.

[Raoul Duke III]

The actress is 24....but in the movie is portrayed as being 15

I think the leadup to this scene is basically Borat + daughter having dinner with Rudy. I wonder did her alleged age get mentioned in that preceding scene?

That would put a whole new gloss on things..... Wonder was Rudy, like his boss, a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein?

Perhaps some people in more senior roles than me involved in hiring or even Richie might help me out with something.

What is the long term mindset of companies with regards to working from home.

Has this event made it a more acceptable long term option or do companies expect people back in the office some time in late 2021 to early 2022 as normal.

I have some feedback from companies but not quite sure it's representative of the broader view.

[Guest]

Giuliani is a piece of work but the way this story is being reported (trying to hint that he thought she was 15) is gutter level stuff

[Raoul Duke III]

well no that's the whole premise of borat, isn't it. Its about the different way of doing business in former soviet block. giuliani does loads of business over there so is presumably swimming in gee and doesn't even think twice about it. Fairly standard to cement deals over there with the offer of hookers. My former colleague was saying that when he was running a bank that did business in Russia, every single evening drinks meeting was accompanied by hookers waiting outside his hotel room. As in they considered it rude not to offer a round of hookers on the house.

As opposed to offering your 15 year old daughter.

Lame - so 1 page near the front of the book is mostly blank (and you can’t see the top 3rd of the page ) , don’t most books have a page like that towards the front???

Can’t upload photo for some reason but I’ve just taken a very similar photo using the copy of champagne football I have sitting in front of me

why do people on Twitter do this (make up ridiculously stupid fake stuff about trump when there is a shitload of real ridiculous stuff to hammer him on?)

I've mentioned the same in the past.

The attempted one-upmanship that both sides go to for the most infantile "wins" is phenomenal.

If anyone's still holding off on backing Biden, he's 4/7 still with most bookies.

I expect this to be long gone by the weekend (i.e. after another debate shambles by Trump).

• 38 million voted already and Dems banking huge leads
• covid 7 day average about to break a record
• GOP campaign in the toilet

Blowout incoming.

4/7 gone already and generally 1/2 or shorter as reality dawns of the scale of the incoming defeat. Going to be fun watching Biden go to 1.1 over the next 12 days.

6 million Americans voted yesterday.

[Guest]

What's happening here in your head?

Do you think 'twitter' virtually crept into their reality and opened the book to an empty page and then forced them to pose for a photo with it?

They posed for the photo staring with apparent interest at a completely blank page, not the purient public.

Did you also take a photo of you staring with interest at the blank page of champagne football (a genuine question, maybe this is what you do for entertainment in that part of the country and there are contests to see who can stare at blank pages with the most interest)

As a man off the back of a 3 hour wedding shoot, I know a posed pic when I see one and those sir are action shots.

Interesting Premier League Trivia..

First red card was given to Niall Quinn in August of 1992 (Boro v Man City)

First sacking went to Ian Porterfield when Chelsea let him go

First all foreign starting 11.. easy one this, Romans Chelsea

First player to win titles with two different clubs.. Blackburn and Utd.. Henning Berg

First player to score, assist and net an own goal in a game - Kevin Davis for Bolton

First injury, unbelievably with the league now 28 years old, the first player to ever take a knock is Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk in the Merseyside Derby during a 2-2 draw at Goodison

So the reporter from CBS 60 minutes was in on it ??? She is the one in the pic with the supposedly blank pages

Didn't think it was Romans Chelsea that went all foreign,
had thought it had been done pre takeover.

Why is he not 1.1 now?

[Guest]

Or indeed maybe staring at blank screens is a popular iPhone app showcasing the technological abilities of the phone.

If by staring at blank screens you mean staring at the blank space on my screen where highly specific targeted ads would be on an android but aren’t there on my iPhone because they have proper working privacy controls then guilty as charged

[Western_Sean]

Why is he not 1.1 now?

You'd have to assume a lack of understanding of what the available data means on the part of some market participants. Or perhaps a motivation other than monetary gain?

[Guest]

My own very unsupported thoughts is less misunderstanding on the part of participants and more fear that polling is "wrong" again.

We all know low probability events happen all the time but Trump & Brexit occurred in relative close proximity to one another having been thought highly unlikely by pollsters.

Less about misunderstanding and more about lack of trust in the data imo.

[Tar.Aldarion]

I hate how much I'd love a round of golf now. At least it'd be good value as I'd probably get 200 seeing as the last one is over a decade ago and broke my arm since.

I think a lot of companies/people believe it is now possible where they didn't before. Or at least a blend.
Some people will still have the mindset that people need to be in an office (some jobs need it, some don't) whereas some companies have already committed to working from home as being the permanent standard (E.G. dropbox). I'm interested in seeing what the government are going to do re working from home, all i saw is some commitment to it and "legally" asking to work from home which means nothing?



Our company was surprised that it works just as well but when given the chance had people back in the office as fast as they could, for a month or so, then back at home again when things got worse.
