I've to come up with a privacy policy, T&Cs and a disclaimer for a new site.

I'm assuming the done thing is to just copy edit and paste from a similar business yes?

Hey yo was it you who was talking about bean to cup coffee machines a while back? Any opinion on this guy?

Yeah man, t'was me. We opted for a DeLonghi machine and it's fantastic. Don't really know much about that particular one but the brand is definitely one I'd recommend.

[coillcam]

Indeed! This was a beauty:

Is this the one he said that was bought in an auction, repaired in 3 months and then flipped?

[Strewelpeter]

Shut up and deal

Haha, what a thread. Hypocritical cunts getting called out. By The White House.

Yeah. Pretty obvious case of insider dealing imo and someone on the inside flipped on him.

[Raoul Duke III]

Good call on Owen Roe in The Steward of Christendom. A 5/5 performance in a 3/5 play.

[6starpool]

SP compiling data as we speak.

His absolute blind hatred for SF..he even trys to defend a scumbag like Troy.

I found Troy's apology the best, sonething like-I'm not going to apologise for being a landlord. Eh issue was declaring it. Sorry not sorry

So Troy is a scumbag, but the shinners are grand? OK.

[RichieM]

Turns out my take on Troy was wrong and it is indeed an issue.

Seemed like nothing initially but got much worse. As kayroo said they still need that vote tho.

[6starpool]

Troy obviously needed to go, as no minister (or TD for that matter) should be allowed to get away with flouting those rules/laws and if there are any penalties for rent not declared (or any other type of charges) then he should be brought to account. Scumbag isn't the appropriate word though imo.

[MysteryGuest]

If FF/FG we’re smart they’d let Troy issue collapse the government and get Sinn Fein installed in time for the shitshow that this winter is going to be

[6starpool]

For anything like that, even if SF were to get in gov, they'd have a couple of years of free 'sorting out the other guys mess' excuses that they'd be using.

Scumbag is a word I try to avoid. You hear it most in reference to people struggling with drug addiction, homelessness and\or deprivation. Arguably more suitable for the likes of Troy IMHO.

[Wombatman]

All the Hitch bait out there and not even a nibble?

[Kayroo]

All the opposition parties provided a... shall we say "muted"... response to this controversy.

I suspect the party leaders across the house locked most of their TDs in a dark room and told them to empty their pockets now. An awful lot of "there but for the grace of god" in Leinster House these last 2 weeks.

If only SIPO weren't so bloody toothless.

Nothing like the Troy controversy but I was 100% sure this was going to happen. Won't be the last either I suspect.

It's what the shinners would do if the roles were reversed but I wouldn't expect the likes of Pascal to cut and run in the face of a serious challenge.

It is going to be enormously tough to hold the coalition together through an economically stormy winter with a major reshuffle included. Will be interesting to see if FF try to force Pascal out of finance, that is one thing that could lead to a break up.
Well, I say that but it's always the little things that get them in the end isn't it, for instance everyone remembers all the various corners Albert Reynolds backed himself into and fought his way out of but no one remembers what it was that actually sank him in the end!

Not to bring it back to gambling but I found it a little hard to believe that the shortest price for the next GE was 2025.

Given the slim majority, Troy shit show, general tension atm alongside a precarious economic situation, it just feels unlikely we make it to 2025 without a GE.

[Strewelpeter]

Haha, what a thread. Hypocritical cunts getting called out. By The White House.

That was savage from the White House account, Biden seems to be hitting his stride just in time for the election.

A Sinn Fein TD is a bloodsucking landlord parasite enemy of the people?

How could this even happen? Next you'll be telling me the SF leadership live in million euro mansions.

Scum gonna scum.

I think 6star was insinuating I was saying basically saying.. Troy bad.. SF good ..earlier. Sorry cant multi quote.

Lets make my position clear.

The truth is over 50% of all TDs and local councillors have only their own interests at heart.

[Raoul Duke III]

The truth is over 50% of all TDs and local councillors have only their own interests at heart.

Which probably accurately reflects the people who vote for them.

What are ye paying for bins ?

We have a fortnightly service, picks the refuse and recycle bin same day, and the small smelly dirty brown compost yoke if you use that...

Its a pay by weight system and averages €220-230 every 6 months, so ~€450 a year.

[MysteryGuest]

Wonder when our government are going to come clean? A few European ones already have.
chances of the Brits stuffing us on the interconnectot- 100% I’d say

quotes
Every week, the people who trade electricity in the UK get to quiz the managers of the national grid for an hour. The conference call, which anyone can monitor, offers an insight into what the men and women on the front line of the power market are worried about. Listening to them is getting scarier by the week — and suggests keeping the lights on this winter will be a lot more challenging than European governments are admitting.

Here’s a question from last week’s session: “Are you war-gaming possible options for if/when cross-border trading collapses under security of supply pressures this winter?” And another: “Can we have a session where we talk through the emergency arrangements?” Another participant said that the forecast for demand-and-supply electricity balance showed “how bad the winter could be for anyone who can do the maths.” The same caller was blunt about the grid’s own predictions: “I don't think you believe what you've written, and nobody else does.”

About €250-€300, Green bin every 2 weeks and Black prob every 4 weeks (dont fill it enough for every 2 weeks)

Was deffo a lot more in the double nappy years lol
Never shopped around tbh as other crowd collect every Monday at 6am and i know id never remember

[oleras]

Deffo getting fleeced, lack of competition.

This is just nuts. Definitely a contender for the craziest hand of all time at high stakes.

I've never had to pay for bins before so was just googling it yesterday in preparation and saw this comparison: https://www.moneyguideireland.com/ch...n-charges.html

The Trump redacted affadavit is mad. Basically stole top secret information and refused to give it back 'because it's mine'.

The AG playing it by the book imo but need Kayroo for insight.

See the HSE have started doing covid 2nd booster shots for the over 50's. Is anyone else here going to bother? I do so like needles, though I prefer the ones in to a vein and not these intramuscular ones

[ComradeCollie]

My GP phoned me twice today. Seems he forgot to do some blood test on the bloods he took last week. Either that, or he's really bored

[pokerhand]

Am up in Donegal for the weekend... Go up once a year to visit my best mate and his family. We go out to a good restaurant for grup and his local pub for pints. Easily my favourite weekend of the year and love it to bits.... Always gets get me a bit soppy but feck it.... Sometimes it need to be said....

UK can't 'shuffle us off the interconnector' because that's, em, how they supply gas to Northern Ireland. We've only one grid on the island. Gas comes into Dublin and then gets sent wherever it is needed.

Jesus, glad I'm back to fight the disinformation.

Decline of industrial civilisation in full flow- they are starting to talk about how hard this winter will be on Irish radio but still pretending it’s just a temporary blip caused by Ukraine war .
We have overshot and these are the symptoms.
wouldn’t expect an economist to understand- your whole gig is based on not understanding.
we are going to see mass starvation in “first world countries “ in next 2-3 years

We missed it when it came out but just watched the first episode of show me a hero. Oscar Isaac is the lead and written by David Simon.

Only 3 episodes but so far it’s excellent.

Ironic that we kept going with nuclear energy after Chernobyl but decommissioned nuclear plants decades later and now blame the energy crisis on Ukraine.

Where are you getting that from?

So by 2024 to 2025 we’ll have mass starvation in a number of first world countries. Can you name which ones?

Ireland is number 1 on Global Food security index so we’re probably in a decent spot.
Not to mention, of the 100+ countries tracked(inc all 1st world) almost 90% have become more secure in the last decade, up to Sept 2021.
Obv things have changed but not to anything close to mass starvation in first world in 2 years.

In fairness to Mystery Guest . Im always starving.

A huge % of world food is wasted every day and morbid obesity is a common problem. Bring on the food shortage i think we can handle it in the 1st world.

Their focaccia is incredible too. I have one role for Xmas period and that’s to get the Seagull bakery goods on Xmas eve.

More domestic energy price hikes coming.

Commercial energy just at ridiculous prices now.
Got a notification last week that from 2 major companies that the rate on offer then (already ridiculously high) was cancelled and no new or renewal contracts would be accepted until further notice. So can't even renew customers contracts at the moment.

Gas flows from fuckhead down to 20% of normal rate.

I guess that line from GOT has never been more apt

Not to mention the Cruffins

Incredible business, just delivering consistent quality and you have to admire their reluctance to cash in by trying to scale above the level at which they can maintain the quality.

Amazing how having them and places like Mezze across the road and the bit of pedestrianisation has changed the whole vibe of the town and upgraded all the places around them... hard to explain but like Cahills was always a great little shop but now it suddenly feels a bit hipster!
