You'd want to be drunk to watch that. A few episodes in and it's pure shite.
I watched the first episode last night - it already seems very far fetched, even for a TV show - Not sure I'll last for the full season which isn't a great sign after one episode.

Half a mil for a 2 bedroom house in an estate. Crikey.

Frankie Boyle is coming to the Gate next February. Never been mad on Beckett, but I definitely want to see this there https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/f...play-7qvmbwg7z https://www.gatetheatre.ie/whats-on/“Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.”

Quite a profitable strategy has emerged for fundalk punting needs a bit of patience.
All you need is a bit of efficient and accurate use of live pause when there is a close finish approaching - Don't wait and rewind or you'll miss the value Stop it as close to the line as you can, if you don't form an opinion immediately, use a bit of card on the screen to draw the line.
Ignore the price in market. Sometimes even when its a clear result the market will be 50:50 until RTV show their freeze frame some 30 seconds later.
Last winner there tonight traded at more than double its SP of 6/1 and was available for ages for lots of money @ 3 and 4/1 after it had won the race. It's the third time I've seen the market get it way wrong in as many meetings.
Something very satisfying about punting a winner that has already gone by.Turning millions into thousands

I mainly drink Bordeaux red and NZ/Loire white. Not the worst rut to be in but probably should expand my selections more. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are the areas I'm trying to delve more into.

German, Czech and Slovenian wine is worth investigation."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Seems like just a terrible question to ask but anyhow: is storing wine standing rather than on it's side a terrible thing?
Maybe it doesn't matter with an average wine and does with a better one?
Am not a wine person but might be in the future (and therefore might purchase a few of the aforementioned). Don't really want future me looking back at me like a

Irrelevant for any wine you buy to drink soon.
Also irrelevant for screw cap wine.

Have been chasing down the energy guy who did the survey of our house 2 months ago. Had a chat yesterday. The gist of it being that he hadn't bothered to send us the survey results as 'you've no chance of getting a builder'. He said all his usual builders aren't even answering the phone and also that a lot of the lower-skilled building workforce haven't returned to work yet (either returned to their native lands or else sitting on the PUP to the bitter end).
Pretty discouraging from both our own POV but also in the wider context. Just gotta sit and wait it out I guess and let Lao Lao sort out the global supply chains and SF will resolve the building industry here."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

No huge fancies, mostly just sit back and enjoy. Its a pity there aren't another couple of runners in the novice hurdle, I don't think its as deep as it appears on the surface and would guess that Joseph's Vultan might turn out to be overpriced in it, want to be taking on the of of the market maybe a speculative RFC with Autumn evening . Same problem with Belfast Banter in Wincanton, he travels well, is fit to run and could be competitive at this level today, would like the 10/1 if there were 3 places.

There's a builder called Séamus Harrington Const Ltd that I'd recommend. I've been in a lot of top end architect designed homes and he's one of the best ones I've seen.
No website which is weird. His own house that he built featured on Home of the year.

Agree on the kit. I'm colour blind - it looks like a light shade of black or very dark gray?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I've a 3 bed that's very slightly bigger, also in an estate outside the M50 and am selling for a touch off 1/2 million, that's the market right now!
In Ashbourne! Mental prices but cant help thinking hes done well in the whole thing.

And unlimited potential for whatever he wants to do for 600k.

All this being said, it's not like I make it out into Dublin city centre very often these days, I bet I spend 90+% of my time within the boundaries of Dublin 18!
