    Airfield in Dundrum is quite popular. Think you need a dry day for it though. https://www.airfield.ie/

                  Personally I think Fr Ted trumps every other Comedy on TV . It was just so good . Fawlty Towers after that.

                          Surprised at the betting there. Thought Covney was too young to be put out to pasture. I'm sure Fitzgerald would love the job, but isn't she fairly universally disliked/incapable.

                            Interesting market. Coveney surely wants to be Taoiseach which would rule him out.

                            I'll have a few quid on Bruton and Day. The only two I've actually met.

                                    We can't nominate someone who doesn't want the job. Coveney wants to be Taoiseach which means he has to stay on the domestic stage.

                                      Catherine Day knows the EU inside out and is very well regarded in Brussels.

                                      Against that, she's not a politician.

                                                    I guess they will probably put up a pair like for instance Fitzgerald and Simon or McGuinness and Leo on the understanding that the big hitter only goes if we keep trade.

                                                      Is there any particular reason why you refer to some people by their first names and others by their surname? Really seems odd to me.

                                                            Had completely forgotten about Time and Again, must have read that about 25 years ago. Hope I have it buried somewhere.

You're either blue or your red or you're an outcast. Really big problem imo. You will end up with this exact problem happening time and time again unless there is some revival of the centre ground.

                                                                          It's completely and absolutely fine to vote Democrat one year for their policies and then choose Republican 4 years later as their policies for the coming period 'align' better. It should be utterly normal to be able to do that.

                                                                            I was reading through that thread trying to find where he had added the drinks. I though one was drinking the stuff the way he was going on.

The blue/red choice has always been there however there has been nothing like Trump . His lies are in the 100s , he has tried to reconstruct actual facts before our eyes and STILL he has apologists and supporters who dismiss his daily infantile behaviour and blindly follow. In my lifetime I've never seen the US so disrespected on the world stage. This is more than partizan politics . It's quite staggering what is now accepted as normal these past 4 years .

                                                                                I think it'll be Biden but I wouldn't put any significant money on it. Trump is a 35% plus shot here.

It should be utterly normal to be able to do that.

                                                                                  I like that.

                                                                                      I threw the ball in the air then kicked in way up the road and it landed in a skip. Why did you do that he cried? That's a life lesson for you my lad, a life lesson. He whimpered a bit more, then his mother came out obviously annoyed with me and said.. For fks sake, you only get to see him weekends. Why be such a bastard.

                                                                                          But they are mostly crowded out of the market now by the two big beasts.

Don't know, we Irish can hardly argue about that as we had a 2.25 party system for most of our democratic history....

Hard to see anything bigger than 5/4 not being a good bet, odds were surely always going to come closer to 50/50 near election time.

                                                                                                                      All presidents are successful politicians by definition.

Online payment tech and basic stock checking is like 20-year-old technology. I'd imagine the people of fucking Burundi visiting the country would also be appalled with the state of Irish tech.

I don't know how they go home from work each day not feeling scarlet about how they are running their business.
