Very popular in the food markets on a Saturday, where you pop in for a morning verre and some complimentary rilette on bread is given out - traditionally the cafe would have sourced it from the market itself, given for free by the stalls in return for the expectation of a few complimentary glasses when the thirst came upon them. Or so I read in a book a while ago anyway on the custom of rilettes in the market.

I mean he's box office and there is plenty of craic in the trad media continuing to report on the ongoing meltdown.
It's not like he'll do an Obama and stay a fairly dignified quiet for the first 85% of his successors reign before speaking his mind (and only when history has been firmly written)
That type of succession etiquette isn't plausible for DT.
He won't be able to keep his gub shut and presumably the just wears down his credibility further and Biden just ignores it completely and move on as the boss of all bosses.

But then that person comes across as the voice of reason compared to Dems who have made themselves shrill shouting about Trump.
Free health care? Not on your life buddy! (and we mean on your life!).
Insane cost of education? Keep on paying suckers.
Tax the rich? lol, get fucked.
Maybe reduce our military spending or bring some troops home? Nope, brown people have to die. Fire up the drones!
How about we don't lock up whistleblowers? lol, get fucked again for even asking.
Maybe some workers rights, some mandatory vacation maybe? work until you die
*Forgot this one* Prison/policing reform? Yeah BLM and all that but poor people need to fill these cells and a woman of colour as VP is just as good right? (i.e. get fucked)
Platitudes? - oh baby you'll get lots of them.
Biden is much better than Trump, but he's going to do next to nothing to actually change anything. The democrats are going to take the road of anything is better than Trump right? And it'll work for a while but they better do something otherwise the voters won't turn up again.
I hope I'm wrong but I'll guess in four years, Biden/Harris will have done next to zero to help poor people.Last edited by Charlie Sheen; 06-12-20, 23:56.

Yeah no excuse really for not walking or having someone in place to walk your kids to school. Every kid lives within the Parish so max 20 min walk like I have. 1500+kids in that school so imagine if everyone selfishly drove.

Makes the min spend €105 which is a bit ridiculous. Budget is €50People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Anyway - and this is the reason for posting this - jaysus, she loved them. They're pretty class - look a bit like a tailored suit in bits, although still pyjamas obv. Also said pyjamas are in like every single blog she follows at the moment. So, if ye are are stuck for choices, that might be a great option, bearing in mind that your mileage may vary. They're not cheap though unfortunately. But I think that feeds through into the quality.
fucking hell.
I got the wife this last year.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostHey, I realise this is kinda old hat, but I never really understood the underlying tech.
I want some sort of server that I can send a command to from e.g. my phone - to say, e.g. here's a list of names of tv series, now go out and automatically download episodes in these series as they appear and also get all historic episodes. Plus that I can plug the server into a projector to play the shows. Does that type of thing exist? I'm just trying to eliminate the stage where I have to physically get the episode each time watching, and also to have somewhere that has a vast reservoir of easy to navigate unwatched shows.

The construction industry has changed a lot in the past 4/5 years with a lot less workers and much more demand.
Hard to tell if things will be a good bit cheaper in 18 months time. Brexit and COVID mortgage restrictions/defaults will take a while to feed through but they could bite pretty hard.
At this stage all you can do is make the plans and run a tender process and delay a bit if the answer is not to your liking...‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

It's quite different from the last project as that was very much a build, with a small bit of eco-upgrade. Whereas this is the opposite, we aren't really messing with the house footprint much at all but we do want to fundamentally upgrade all of the eco components. So a learning process.
Whoever recommended that Eco Eye episide on retrofits, thank you. It's here, with Hitch's favourite guy doing his thing.

Is there an MOQ on there?
Dungarvan got back to me and said they can't sell less than 3x cases online because of legislation.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Some people's internet won't handle the buffering of a 4K film, but if they'd pre-downloaded it the day before etc.

I work with one of the girls who sings it, be nice to let her know BBV approve!
They have a few songs on spotify which are pretty good but that one struck me the most.
