It's saying that deaths in the final two weeks of March this year, are twice as bad as the whole of March last year.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Like we're generally just kicking the ball around. But he's not even great at kicking - should he be or have I got a dodgy kid? Are there some small (fun!) routines we could work into the messing about so he gets the basics?

Give him 3 footballs and line up 10 items like skittles
Kids aged 4 are more interested in what’s around them rather than a ball in front of them
Do an obstacles course , where u are using a ball at all times thru cones and other objects
If that don’t work buy him a paint brush and get him to paint the back wall for you

Only the sort of plebs locked into Ireland of the 60's makes scrambled eggs with milk.
Here's how to do it right.
Teaspoon of Creme Fraiche per 2 eggs and a good lot of pepper
non stick pan, low heat, more or less never stop stirring, 4 eggs will take c.15 minutes. Only add salt when serving.Turning millions into thousands

Beer: How is anyone over the age of 26 still drinking it?
Eggs: Throwing out an egg because the yolk has broken,..., really?
Non stick pan? GTFO with your NASA propaganda.
Gin?; If you have a preferred mixer for your spirits, go back to drinking beer. Waste of a distillation process imo.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

Originally posted by GimmeabreakI actually thought there was a good chance that was just normal expected traffic at that time of the evening. Doesnt take long to get a line like that when you reduce to single file and are questioning everybody.
My commute time has gone from 45-55 minutes to 20 or under. There is often times, I am the only car in either direction on some stretches of road.
To me, there is no way that queue is caused by people going to/from essential work and a bit of shopping, regardless of one lane and/or a checkpoint. That smacks of people en route to a holiday home for the bank holiday weekend in the sunny South East.
Edit
Just to add, I've been stopped at 6 checkpoints in the last week and a half. Sometimes on roads with two lanes and sometimes on roads with only one lane. Garda were speaking to every driver. There was never more than 3 or 4 cars of a tailback at any of the checkpoints.Last edited by Lao Lao; 08-04-20, 22:41.

Someone mentioned it above but that spot where the M50 meets the N11 really does slow to a crawl in the evenings until the bray exit.
I work in cherrywood and need to leave work about 4 to avoid it if I'm heading to Wicklow.
As GAB said, reduced to a single lane with the police actively questioning people it could easily get that bad just with people who legit work in Dublin but commute from Wexford/Wicklow.

Since the theme is poetry, never really had the courage to post this before. Wrote it in 2014 a week after my first daughter was born, was bursting with happiness about the whole thing.
Wrote it about the night she was born when I was standing in an empty quiet hospital corridor in scrubs waiting to be called in
Lamplight illuminated strangers,
Autumn late night rain
Restless euphoric tip toes, a drunkard's emotion
Souls trudging forgettably, etched forever,
Never knowing always there
Abandoned beautiful fronts chalked and torn
Art is to be born
Vertical rain of Amber, no longer melancholic,
Silence, only breathing,
Art is to be bornI hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

3 eggs take literally 20seconds in a hot pan, off the heat.This too shall pass.

Hot and fast has a similar outcome, i cant find a video, but its all about the constant moving, between you shaking the pan and the spatula mixing the egg.
Get a pan hot, add some butter, while that melts whisk 3 eggs in a bowl, season, butter starts to smoke, use olive oil if you are wish, pour contents into pan, start stirring the eggs with the spatula, more moving them from the walls of the pan whilst shaking the pan, they start to fold, coagulate, do it on or off the heat, i prefer off, its literally 30seconds, once they go from liquid to solid, done..there should be no colour. Crack of black pepper, splash of tobasco, done.This too shall pass.

The IPB evening news.
The Headlines:
Dice75 at a loss to explain missing container.
Gambling coup - Garda Have released a headless photofit of a man wearing a green smoking jacket and crevat.
UFO or Round and round you go.
Good evening.
Luxury bathroom supplies Importer Dice75 says he is at a loss as to the whereabouts of a container of high end toilet seats that were destined for Garda stations around the country. Although Dice75 said it was not the first time shipments had been delayed it was now a matter of urgency as most of the seats that the consignment were due to replace had already been removed at the stations. A Garda spokesman said that while following a few lines of enquiry, as of now they have nothing to go on.
Fraud squad detectives are examining unusual betting trends from a race that took place back when sport was still a thing. Detectives from Kildare say the coup was actually lucky to succeed as the horse that finished third looked a likely winner at various stages . At the 3 furlongs pole he was hit by a tin of USA biscuits thrown from the crowd, at the two furlongs pole when challenging he was hit by a selection of cheeses and as he took the lead at the furlong pole his progress was halted by a missile that was later confirmed as a box of novelty Xmas crackers. The turf club held their own inquiry and found that the third horse had been badly hampered. Detectives while not 100% sure of the identity of the coup mastermind said they have a main suspect in mind who uses a series of aliases such as Niall Hoyes aka G.A.B aka B.C.B. aka B.Y.O.B aka N.R.N.B.
A large crater has appeared in the Rathcoole / Citywest vicinity. Initial reports stated that there may have been UFO activity in the area . Other eye witnesses say that it is the result of a jogger running the same route over and over within a two mile radius of his home that had simply worn away the ground beneath him. Gardai say they have yet to rule anything in or out in relation to the hole but they currently have 10 officers looking into it.
In coronavirus news. Paschal Donohoe has confirmed that he will shortly order the nationalisation of all branches of the Grafton barber and Peter Mark's. He said "while we dont know when it will arrive we know a surge is coming and we will be prepared." Questioned about supplies he assured reporters that a large order had been secured with China containing 1.2 million black and white pictures of Elvis with a quiff, 3.4 million water spray containers in the shape of Jack Daniel's bottles and 1.3 million jars of beard wax to be specifically targeted at the southside of Dublin region. He said at this stage he was confident that we had an ample supply of reclining chairs and that access will be based on a follicle need basis.
In business news there will be some letters with red and green arrows going across the bottom of your screen. If you dont know what they mean you should have already switched over to I'm a celebrity.
Todays weather: Walk 2 km from your house against the prevailing wind and look up at the sky. That's what it will be like when you get back home.
And finally,
A young girl in Malahide sends a heartfelt thanks to the emergency services who rescued her cat from a tree. 5 Superintendents , 12 plain clothes detectives, 4 units of the ERU, a sub aqua team , 2 helicopters and Paul Williams assisted in the rescue. A Garda spokesperson said " Things are a bit quiet".
That's all for now. Stay safe and goodnight.

People also have the a habit of blasting the heat until its cook, then residual heat sends it over on the plate. Not just eggs, but roasts and such too. Not to mention the attitude of "it's done now, but i'll give it another 10 to be safe".
