    If I was a young lad looking to set up in business I'd be getting a small engineering firm to put together a combo boiling water / filtered and Carbonated water tap unit that could be delivered and fitted at a price point under 1K
    Would take a fair bit of investment and a lot of hard work but I'm fairly sure it could make a lovely little business.


    Quooker Taps already do this. Have only seen them advertised on TV in the last few weeks so could be a relatively new brand, haven't looked them up yet.

      8.05pm outside queue of young people to get into O'Briens.

      Restrictions make no sense to me based on what i saw.
      At just before 5 o'clock yesterday, I decided to head to the pub to watch the Utd game. Herself came along with me (for pints rather than football)

      Ranelagh has 6 pubs. One was closed and we got turned away from the other 5 as they were completely full. In each pub, there was up to 15 people being turned away.

      We tried The Barge on the way into town and got one of the last three free tables there.

      I'd say town was rammed.

        I never understand people who go to petrol pumps that are on the opposite side of their tank. I'd always wither wait for a free one or turn and reverse to get filled if there was space to do so.

        Yesterday filling up the tank, there is an aul one in front of me wrestling with the pump to get it across to the other side of the car and eventually gets it in, or so I thought.

        About 30 seconds later, she lets out a shriek - the pump wasn't in fully and the petrol was flowing down the side of the car to the point there was a pool of petrol all round her feet. She only kopped it as it started to lap up over her shoes!

            And theres a little arrow beside the fuel gauge pointing towards the fuel cap side....handy for car hire.

              As far as I can see the discussion happened organically.
              Its seems unusal that the deceased is consistently referred to on a first name basis in media reports. Its at odds with the standard convention of Ms This or Mr That in news reporting. This suggests an inorganic aspect in the tone of some of the coverage to me at least.

                  doesn't make much of a difference imo as long as you are correctly positioned for it.
                  Actually sometimes prefer filling on the opposite side as you are facing the handle and pump readout naturally.
                  That said, can't remember the last time I got diesel and didn't just fill the tank anyway.

                      14 goals so far, just past the half way point of the season.

                      I would have liked to have more goals at this stage.

                      You're definitely favourite at this point.

                          Reading between the lines of the news, it seems like the Guards are very confident the perpetrator is the guy currently hospitalised in Dublin?

                            Woop, Ireland just beat the West Indies in a three game series in the Carribean.

                            Something incomprehensible to those of us who can remember the teams of Marshall, Garner, Dujon, Grrenidge, Haynes and the Masta Blasta, Viv Richards. I remember seeing them massacring Ireland in Rathmines as a small boy in the Eighties and you could never imagine we could ever beat these Gods in their own backyard.

                              Anyone have any good experiences with buying reading glasses online? I know people buy contact lenses online, wondering if it's worth my while doing the same for a couple of spare pairs of specs.

                                Currently benched and has missed last few games through hip injury anyway. Age catching up on him

                                        Correct and right. Which is why, even in my drunkenness i bracketed the last part

                                        At least that's why i think i did it.

                                          I agreed with your fundamental point.

                                          Ultimately though (and i think this - often cause it seems to happen me alot), maybe it's sailing over your head and not theirs?

                                          No idea, very emotive subject of course. But alot of very smart people on here.

                                            Worked in a bar for years. Sorting bottles was by far my least favourite part of the job. Not a whole pile of fun in trying to do said job with about 20 sugar hungry, manic aggressive wasps attacking all the time.

                                            Somehow never got stung but got huge pleasure in trapping them with bottle caps when they decided to venture down into the empty bottles.

                                                        Had them for a few years, trying everything to get rid then went on a sun holiday. Not sure whether it was a combo of the sun and seawater but they disappeared over the course of about four days. Can still remember how happy it made me.

Apparently feeling alot of pressure due to its' success, not entirely sure why, but who am i to judge. Probably getting a lot of offers to monotonise it even though he apparently doesn't want to.

                                                              Which got me to thinking... if he didn't want to bastardise it by placing adverts on it etc... would he still make money out of it? I mean, it sounds like he doesn't need money; i'd say you wouldn't exactly need to be a shit-hot software developer to develop it, but at the same time he's probably uber-competent......it'd be kinda be a shame if he didn't get some reward though?

                                                                      Put in LANCH the other day and lost a turn. Turns out it's an actual word. Think I hit enter out of habit.

Its at odds with the standard convention of Ms This or Mr That in news reporting. This suggests an inorganic aspect in the tone of some of the coverage to me at least.

                                                                                              Such a lovely game, what makes it is that there is only one word a day. If you had multiple attempts, we would probably never have heard of it.. Just proves the small, little things are sometimes the most effective.

                                                                                                    Was using 'Daily'
                                                                                                    Something like ropes or tidal might be better though
                                                                                                    I'm starting to aim for words with 4x consonants and 1x vowel. Like 'first'.

                                                                                                    If you bink two consonants you're pretty nailed on to get it in three. It can obv go wrong and you get nothing. Although that happened me before and I was lucky enough with the second word to get it in three.
                                                                                                    I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
