In all of these cases, it's pretty much how long is a piece of string?

Based on what you've said about it being cloak and dagger, wouldn't be a great sign IMO. Any public or internal message of significance about how the company is recovering and a timeline?

No timeline yet. The parent company in France are handling it. Not sure whats happening as pretty much out of the loop in Ireland. Mad to think we cant work without the internet.

Micknail - any cybersecurity-related hijinks that you can post about here?

Yeah Mick any?

Fucks sake. You mentioned plasma before.....bastards going after healthcare...not that that's a surprise given their penchant for bombing anything other than military targets.

Yep healthcare . Some folk wont get the blood clot medicine etc. Lowest order of criminals.

Reading the posts there. I dont know Mdoug (i think) however these posts look a bit ominous hopefully just a black mood or bored with IPB. Life is shit at times but tragically fragile also . But always worth fighting for . Hope you are ok mdoug . .


Perhaps folk need to stop encouraging degeneracy . Its a murky false existence that fks with your mind, deceiving it . Its not real its dopamine out of control
Hotspur might offer some more apt opinion.


Hope also im overreacting. Best wishes to anyone suffering mentally . People like Dice above offering real aid show you the world can be a decent place.

For my shame I didn't read Mdoug's post in that light at all, hope the lad is ok.

Surely somebody here has his number to check in with him.

Rigger the most likely, think him and mdoug met up for beers quite a bit. Possibly AndyFB in that group as well.
Rigger is pablo (paul) H** on facebook though not very active there these days like most of us. I'll DM him anyway but again maybe someone has his number.
Hopefully just a nothingburger.

First viewing done, might put a bid on this it's at 513k.
The living area is actually quite dark but is there daylight emulating lights you can get it's 100 metres from my local brunch spot and 5 mins walk from where I live now.

This just went sale agreed in whitehall/beaumount but might ring about it, office in garden is appealing even if distance from city is not

Probably go for a bit more since its at 513k with 2 bidders, that said it's been on the market like 5 months.

I would say it's designed to be rented. 3 of the bedrooms are small with lots of storage and there are four bathrooms, 3 ensuite. No bath, so all small very nicely done bathrooms. The living area is smaller than it appears in the pic and is dark. There's no outside area and thus with location I think families won't want to live there. What's with the weird high sockets

Doing a new kitchen and thinking of switching from Gas to Induction hob, an unthinkable move not so long ago, but I now have a couple of people persuading me.

Have read a few reports of people saying they never looked back.

Anyone here do it?

I've read you need to use suitable pots and pans, with an iron content. Do you use a cast iron skillet for steak?

Probably worth it for the health benefits alone. I had gas and now have induction in the new place. I think it's great. It's faster and more controllable. Less cleaning involved.

First thing i did when I read that was to throw a magnet onto my wok. No way was it happening if it didn't stick. Have spent two years seasoning it.

Male chefs.

Alot of them end up turning to drink or coke cause of the pressures of the job combined with the hours. They're usually dick heads too.

Because they have to, cruise ships all cook on electric.

On the induction side, we had one in a hire place in Italy a few years ago, dont know if it was specific to that hob but it kept "clicking" on and off...annoyed me.

Surely just about everything on a cruise ship is whacked in the oven?

From the few docs i have seen, yeah, a lot would be oven cooked, but flat tops and pans would also be utilized....oh, and those big vats that they batch cook stews/curries in.

Kids football this morning and told the little 7yo full kit Liverpool lad that Salah had just signed for United. Backfired a bit as he ran off bawling. Will need a cup of cement to get in my starting lineup.

A Great Aussie pitch invasion. This wasn't the last kick off the game or anything, was midway through the 3rd quarter. 30 minute delay before getting it restarted.

Pft, I'd say Keano died half a dozen times and played on. He just didn't make a big fuss about it like Eriksson. I also distinctly remember Steve Bruce dying, getting buried, and making it back it on for the second half to score a header with no head.

[Pat Mustard]

Would you know your way up/down/around Mullaghcleevaun? Or is that a bit further up the military road than you venture? I'm looking to do it this summer but struggling to find someone that knows the way and dont want to do it alone as it's got a lot of marsh and deep bog holes so need someone that knows the way and the mountain.

Also, what did you get from the Chinese?

Check your PMs

Electric hob and induction hob are very different.
An electric is only good do a stew other low and slow things. But induction should match gas, if it’s powerful enough. In fact is can probably exceed it in power.

As long as the specially built induction pan is sitting correctly on the hob. You can't be be cooking wok style flipping and moving ingredients in the pan.

Induction is a big upgrade on radiant electric hobs but it's not even close to gas.

The financier Dermot Desmond has become the victim of a security breach after a tradesman posted a video from a bedroom at his new mansion on Shrewsbury Road in Dublin 4.

The worker was carrying out a job on the property when he filmed an impromptu tour for his Twitter followers.

Last week, Mr Desmond instructed his lawyers to take action to remove the video post. This weekend, legal counsel for the Desmond family told the Sunday Independent: “We are taking the matter very seriously.”

In the video, the tradesman, who calls himself ‘Mick’, shows his 1,656 followers inside the luxurious surrounds of the property, commenting: “Lads this gaff would make you sick! Honest to God man... Look at this. The fella that owns Celtic owns it. Dermot Desmond.”

Desmond’s new-build replaces Walford, the redbrick Victorian-era house built in 1902 which was famously purchased by developer Seán Dunne and his then wife Gayle Killilea for €57m at the height of the property boom in the Celtic Tiger era.

Carrying his camera around a bedroom, the tradesman expresses incredulity at the opulent surroundings: “F**kin’ carpet... This is just a bedroom. I don’t even know what the brand of them TVs are. This gaff — he paid €14m for the land, yeah? Look at these little study lights.” Playing with the lights, he demonstrates: “You just spin it around on to the desk. Back up. Up you go!”

The man then points the camera out the back window to show what Desmond is building at the rear of the property: “So out the back here — over in the far corner — a blue tennis court. He has a putting green over at the back. That’s his garage there yeah? His garage!”

Pointing to the back garden, he adds: “I don’t know what he’s building here, some big fountain area or something. I’ll show you a few more rooms in a while…. Look at the carpet! Awww look at them doors, boys. Mental,
absolutely mental!”

This weekend, Suzanne McNulty, a solicitor for Desmond, wrote to the Sunday Independent following a query on the video.

“We are aware of the security breach and have taken appropriate action,” she said. “Thank you for recognising the seriousness of this incident, and I am sure that you and your legal department will appreciate that any further disclosure would undoubtedly impact the security and the privacy of the property and the occupants. We are taking the matter very seriously.”


Desmond’s property is one the biggest private homes in central Dublin.

Documentation accompanying the planning application for the 17,000 sq ft home says that “internal wall thicknesses vary and are configured to form rooms of clear geometries, akin to 17th-century French hotel plans”.

Also, anyone got a link to the twitter tour? Probably gone now.

I've sent on his posts to Rathcoole Garda Station . They set bail/bribe at 5 doughnuts from that rolling doughnuts van down by the old proddy church . They'll be back in the Station next Weds for 2 hours .

Ordered two very large bags of topsoil mix on Friday night (9pm). To my consternation, these arrived at 11am Saturday. Spent the whole weekend decanting them into buckets, carrying down the side passage and spreading them over my uneven lawn which is now beautifully even. Except for the bits the dog has decided are her personal play area.

Very difficult to judge quantity by eye. My first thought was 'shit, that's 5x too much' but it ended up being just about right.

Wrecked. Will throw some grass seed over it whenever the rain shows signs of appearing.

Next weekend's job is to construct a raised flower bed with railway sleepers which will surely test my handyman skills to the utmost. Presumably at some point, the jobs stop coming because they're all done.

[Raoul Duke III]

That was my first thought too, why on earth would you publicise it when it's out there on the web? Quiet word from the lawyer, take down the tweets, forget about getting paid for your work and count yourself lucky - but no.
