    Ah, the parade of children through the house to meet the puppy today seems to be coming to an end. Not like I've been wrecked all day after being on the lash at the rugby yesterday.

      What are they like service/coverage wise - Presume they are on either the 3 or Vodafone network so coverage shouldn't be an issue?

      They have an offer for €10 a month sim only which looks very good
      Yep, they're on 3 afaik. No issues with it. Visit family regularly enough in Kerry and Clare and always have perfect signal unless we are in a proper remote spot.

        Man who helped Covid victim Joe McCarron leave hospital tells judge 'I'm the king and you are a public servant'.

        Probably not going to end well for this guy.

                  Better episode for sure but still feels like in the midst of a mid season slump.

                            Can you believe the pranksters voice was done by a 50 year old man.

                                Does something have to be real to be funny.

                                    Its a funny comedy sketch. Maybe it doesn't reach the comedic heights of Dara Ó Briain but it made me laugh.

                                    The question I have is the fan art from someone who thought it was real or not?

                                      Also wrote "A Gentleman in Moscow" think RD3 was rec ommending it a while back.

                                      Very enjoyable so far. Characters have a John McCarthy/Steinbeck feel to them. Only thing is trying to dole it out a bit as I'm flying through it!

                                      Have now ordered all his books from the library on the strength of the first few chapters so looking forward to a good read over Christmas.

                                      Had a weird relationship with the Gentleman in Moscow book, it was very readable but the re was a lot about it that was very dodge. Will probably give him another spin.

                                      Have been devouring the new Franzen book, Crossroads 600+ pages, only picked it up before the weekend and have been losing sleep to it, will be finished it tonight, if I wait that long. Looking forward to checking out reviews after I'm finished; I can imagine people hating it but I think its really great, easily his best and I probably more substantial than anything he's written. I ought to have hated that there is so much religion at the core of it but the characters are very well formed and there is some dazzling writing going on.

                                        Does anyone have any recommendations for news sites for world news? Google news isn't really doing it for me. I use BBC world news sometimes and the Guardian. Would like a little bit more depth on issues.

                                            The set up of him being exiled to a 5* hotel instead of the gulag stretched credulity also there were no shades of grey and felt more like received opinion assumed to be correct rather than any real exploration of what life in Moscow was during the period.

                                            I remember you defended this aspect before but the relationship with the surrogate daughter did feel...well, if not dodgy then at least a bit uncomfortable at times.

                                              Wasn't the whole point that he should surely have been put in the 'enemies of the state' bracket and either shot or exiled but he had previously taken the fall under the Tsarist regime for a Communist poet? And hence got the cushy internal exile in the five star hotel.

                                              I thought that was the best part of the book, the relationship between them.

                                                  Yeah, I just didn't buy him outliving Stalin there and then that became a loose thread that I kept pulling at wanting to know more about what was going on outside the hotel.
                                                  But it was definitely well written and entertaining.

                                                              I see our bet seems to be on track to be somewhat correct on the line of 28 we set. Up to 10 goals now in CL and PL, although the soft CL goals will dry up now.

Have picked out a Sammsung (x2) for when builders are finished. Same price for Black Friday as it was 2 months ago albeit now reduced from an imaginary higher RRP
