    As GAB says, Cliff at Lyons is a nice spot, but with a kid I'd prob just head down to Corkagh Park.
    I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

          WC draw is very lop-sided, with NZ, SA, Ireland and France all on one side meaning only two of them can get to the semi-finals.
          I understand why they need to do the draw early, but surely it's getting done a bit too early.

              Eldest is moving to Italy from the UK not specifically because of Brexit but it is making the move much messier than it should be not least that his job can't be transferred onto the EU.

              But aside from all the brexit problems there have been two unexpected bonuses. Almost 30 months ago he bought a Toyota Avensis estate hybrid for £14k in a private deal got a good bit of use but put very few miles on it and is selling it today to a 'We buy Cars for cash' crowd for £18k
              Better still is the deal that his Italian wife stumbles into, Italy are encouraging people to come home with an “Impatriates” tax break that any citizen with a degree who returns after more than a few years away can avail of a 70% tax break for 5 years (90% if you live in certain areas like Calabria or Sicily) and then if you have brought children home, give birth to children or buy a property during that time you get another five years at 50%!

                                  Have an occasion to mark in this house so sent the missus to grab a bottle of wine. She came back with the 2016 meerlust, opened. "Because its been there for ages". so I said nothing because it is bloody gorgeous and I ran down to the offy to pick up the last bottle I saw last Saturday and thankfully it was still there. Tucking in with some cheese and crackers. Well played Lao Lao with the recommendation.

                                  Snagged a premium ticket for the Hurling final tomorrow thanks to a mate who had it spare. Off work Monday and Tuesday because the boss decided to close due to heat wave warnings

                                  Had worse weekends.

                                            That was mayhem - I actually filled you in as 2 points about 45 minutes ago when Lancashire needed little more than run-a-ball with 8 wickets.

                                              It was crazy! I was sure they would blow it when they had to bowl the free hit.

                                                Just when they think it's all over...

                                                Father-in-law on death bed last number of months. Takes critical downward spiral last weekend just after we leave on holiday. Couple of days later finality of situation is confirmed.

                                                Mrs HiFi abandons holiday to go be with him and family. Caught Covid on holiday (we only did ONE activity indoors FFS, everything else outside...anyway) and brings it to the home place.

                                                Now isolating in her childhood bedroom upstairs in family home from her dying father, watching situation downstairs on a baby monitor and almost certainly wont be able to go to the funeral (after 2.5 years of avoiding the bloody thing).

                                                A cruel twist in the tail. Me and HiFii jr now back in Dublin and pretty helpless (yet still somehow Covid free).

                                                Desperate sad carry on altogether.

                                                  If he is actively dying I don't see why they wouldn't let her spend some time with him.

                                                    Just other people in the house who don't have it i suppose is the issue.

                                                    So far she's got about 1 min with him with all windows/door open and everyone else outside. And maybe a bit more of that tomorrow if he lasts that long.

                                                    Maybe able to attend funeral at a distance (deffo not the mass)... but that's gonna be tough on everyone inc. the young fella who hasn't seen her for 5 days and at 6.5 years old is obviously trying to figure out what the fuck it all means.

                                                          Life can be lousy alright. My uncle died yesterday after 4 years of a degenerative muscle wasting disease taking away his enjoyment of life, his independence and probably a fair bit of dignity.

                                                          Being so high risk he also basically had to be locked away from the world for the last 2.5 years too, meaning my aunt had to be there for him 24/7 and also stay away from the rest of us.

                                                          A father of 6, a granddad to 10, 3 of whom he only was able to really 'meet' through windows.

                                                          A proud self made man is what he'll be remembered for, and we'll all forget the end because it just simply wasn't fair.

                                                          Relief hopefully now John.

                                                              Think a playoff is a possibility in the golf later. Hovland and McIllroy are 8/1 to tie which seems pretty decent. Obviously someone could come from the pack but unlikely enough.

I don't think it's a specific hotel like DP's F-I-L, but she constantly compares it to various other hotels. Always convinced that she has just arrived a few days ago and is on the final night of a weekend break (actually been there since 2019).
                                                                          She came out with an unintentionally cracking line a few weeks ago "I heard this place is being sold and getting turned into an old folks home".

                                                                          You already know this at some level, but it's worth pointing out that long-term it isn't going to get better. Today is absolutely as good as it gets, and in 3 months or 6 months it'll be worse. Stark.

Generally the rule was that if U18 you can only play for the country you live in, or are being educated in, or a neighbouring country if you live within X kilometres of the border. Sensible enough rule as there's nothing good in having youngsters jetting to the other side of the world for a game.

Quite a few have hit the heights and fallen away. He's still more or less there . Frustrating at times but he's done great this week.

A very good player wins 2. Great players win 3+. He has 4, and very likely to win more. Conceivably has 12 -15 years to win the Masters to make the Grand Slam to join only 5-6 golfers ever to do so.

Boxes that spat out pre-made pizza when you swiped your card appropriately. With queues of people using them. I thought this was the nadir until we saw a baguette machine further down the road. Like WTFF.

                                                                                                                      Gone to the dogs imo. And it's stupidly hot too, which I blame you for personally.

                                                                                                                          Quick question. I was playing a live tournament at the weekend. First one in years. So I'm very out of the loop.

                                                                                                                          We were in the money, and coming up to a fifteen min break, the pot was heads up, and with 2 mins left on the clock about half the table left including the big blind.

                                                                                                                          Hand finished with 15 seconds on the clock and dealer announced we were on a break. I asked should we not play another hand given there was time left?

                                                                                                                          One player laughed, and the dealer just shook his head.

                                                                                                                          I didn't push it, but is it not like when the blinds have been posted before a level change? Once there's time to start the hand should be dealt?


                                                                                                                          Average stack was less than 20bbs, so reasonable significant blinds

                                                                                                                          Understandably he wanted a break, and maybe he thought I was angling.

                                                                                                                          Comment
