No I meant from the customers pov.

Left a storage box with all my computing stuff in our kitchen before we went on holidays and builder/ electrician came in to do the rewire. Deliberately left it inside rather than in the shed where we put most things.
Now nowhere to be found (nothing else missing). I'll have to spend ~1k to replace. Monitors, docking station, headset, peripherals etc

Q: How do I play with the tradesfolk? My suspicion is they just fucked it in the skip. I'd like to tell them it's coming off their fees.
Or just suck it up.

Well ask they if they have it/moved it first?
Not a hope they give you money back, it would be strange to throw a storage box in a skip imo.
Have you checked everywhere

A pissed off builder might cost you far more than a grand

Yup, everywhere. No sign.

[Murdrum]

I asked my bro and he said the only chance you have is if the skip is there but the equipment isn’t.

He said no chance of pinning that on the lads if the skip is gone.
They’ll just deny it was even there.

Yeah, just annoying. Skip went yesterday.

They promised blind they'd cover up my Eames chair too before tearing down walls. Covered in dust and plaster obv.

If you're looking for something to listen to this evening the full MTV 120 Minutes show archive is now on YouTube (well, actually doubt its ALL of it but it is 2,500 songs!)

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...K3J1isqPYs2H70 - sorry won't let me embed.

OR you could try Sean Johnson's A Love From Outer Space Emergency Transmission which just started streaming on Twitch for a satisfyingly, head nodding 120BPM kosmisch disco mix of epic proportions incoming.

https://www.twitch.tv/alfos2020

Or if you prefer a something a bit more upbeat and raw maybe try the full live recording of Circle Jerks Live in London on Wednesday past. Waited 35 years to see these bastards and it didn't disappoint - I haven't watched yet but I'm sure you'll see me down the front as I was stood beside the cameraman for a good bit of it, running in and out of the pit.

I'll be diving in and out of all three in between (and beyond) the athletics!

Was chatting with a friend from home just this week for the first time in ages and heard some interesting stories about a significant media-oriented GAA slabber-mouth - who we all know but don't see on TV in the south so much these days.

It'd make you sick, but shouldn't be that surprising I suppose, how some people use their profession and media influence to mask their hypocrisy.

Sorry can't say much more cos, y'know, the law is a wanker and all that.

PS.. this post will probably self destruct by morning but yer man is 'on holiday' so I might leave it up 'til the afternoon!

Stop talking bollox! If you have something credible to say then fire away, otherwise your just talking absolute hoese manure and should be embarrassed.

Sad to hear the "Big Yin" has passed away.
The world just became a little less
windswept and interesting.
On the upside I guess his wife
will have somewhere to park her bike now.

What odds would we lay, if he gets permission to do it, on actually finding the hard drive and then it being usable?

Although of all these kinds of 'threw out of a fortune' tales, the one of the Israeli lady and her mattress is still the funniest imo. Especially because of the genuinely kind intentions.

Assume benny is referring to brolly. Thought it was common knowledge that he's a bit of a perve. This video is from 2018 of him touching up a young wan in a creepy way (who is not his partner) in a nightclub. Loads of stories about him tbf.

That's peek time for travel AFAIK. 4.30am is the sweet spot you are looking for.

[Emmet]

ffs. In January I was able to arrive at 6, no fast track and still have time to get a coffee.

It was always busy too, just efficient.

Considering buying that airport club yoke to have fast track for the year.

Hate to be the poor transphobic ref https://www.independent.ie/sport/gae...-41894821.html

A source at the game said the referee initially believed Valentino was part of Na Gaeil Aeracha’s back room team until she won a high ball in the game’s first few minutes.

The referee, a man, stopped the game after the first break in play to tell Na Gaeil Aeracha that there was “a problem with your number 21” and told them “the player is a man”.

One of the peaks of the week time there. That being said if I had no checked luggage, and was happy to just go straight through security and to gate I'd be happy arriving at 5am. Worst case scenario you're an hour in security. Still enough time to wander to gate. Add extra time for checked luggage/coffee/breakfast, all of which you'll queue for.

[Strewelpeter]

as it happens

[Raoul Duke III]

was in The Gate last night. Owen Roe with the most commanding performance i've seen on that stage.

I'd heard it was great, booked myself and Mrs D3 in for late August on the strength of this now. ty

Noticing that the Gate have stuck their prices up quite a bit! Probably long overdue tbf.

Went to 'Constellations' last May, mostly as they were selling off tickets at €15. Easy way to get a full house! Even the new prices seem reasonable for what it is.

[Raoul Duke III]

Patrons of The Arts should not concern themselves with such frivolous matters such as the price of admission.

Having paid $180 dollahs a skull last time I went to a show in Amerikay, I can assure you I'm not complaining. Just noted that it had gone from 30-ish to 40-ish, which is still great value obv.

Wouldn't mind a glance around the accounts of the Abbey and the Gate some time though.

The play itself is far from great, but he gives a good performance.

Sonya Kelly's new play The Last Return is coming to The Gate in October and has gotten great reviews. I'll be going to that. The theatre festival has a production in the Abbey of Murphy's Whistle in the Dark if you fancy a bit of the old ultraviolence.

I'm partaking of an outdoor production of The Tempest in Kilkenny at the weekend. I recall being absolutely drowned by a tempest watching a production of it outdoors in the front square in Trinity one time.

Pure muck. Like they didn't even bother with the colourisation. Bits which looked liked like wood, and then became green.
