Funnily enough I was on Vcoins today looking at Alexander the Great coins. It's funny that ancient Roman etc. coins millennia old are cheap. Apparently due to their abundance, lack of demand, lack of metal worth, and difficulty of authenticating. Still seems strange to me though.
I was cracking up laughing listening to my latest Darby O'Gill and the Good People chapter today. Cracking little story about how the fairies came to Ireland. You can have a read of it here, but it's more fun hearing the language read to you.
Probably still people out there trying to sell millennium coins.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet and founder of City Lights bookshop, dies aged 101
A counter-cultural behemoth who was, at least in part, responsible for my beatnik love affair when I picked up Ginsberg's 'Howl' (which he published) at a second hand bookshop in my first week as a fresher over 30 years ago.
"Returning to the US in 1951, he was drawn to California as a place to start afresh. “San Francisco had a Mediterranean feeling about it,” he told the New York Times. “I felt it was a little like Dublin when Joyce was there. You could walk down Sackville Street and see everyone of any importance in one walk.”

Woop, an entire day of test cricket in the background on the tv.
I had no idea where Ahmedabad was. Definitely a feature of 21st century life, that you can be completely unaware of the existence of mega-cities that have greater populations than Ireland.
Look down this list and see what the biggest city you never heard of is. Tianjin for me."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Applied for a credit card in every single possible place in Ireland as I'm leaving next month and just want one for emergencies/renting cars in future. I cannot for the life of me get one. Also wanted to rent a car here in Ireland for the next month as my tax/insurance just expired and don't want to renew.
Avantgard said absolutely, no problem, just send us your last payslip - proceeded to do so, and they said oh no, it must be last month and they do not take the business closures/covid payments into account. I have a nice amount in my PTSB account, untouched for 3 years or so, and they instantly declined me as did KBC where I have an okay amount. Utterly tilting!!!
Literally going to have to find someone to pretend I'm their employee and pay them to pay me through government channels.. money laundering legitimate money just to have a hope of getting a credit card. FMLGo big or go homeless.

Get on sorare data and see historic points and stuff
You want players who start over anything else. J League and K League will run all through summer so for me
its an avenue that'll keep the $$ ticking over.
There's a TON of dead money and some people are spending insane money on cards.Go big or go homeless.

Encouraging but also quite surreal to hear the outgoing boss of the GAA John Horan simply accepting that the government plan is what they have to work with, to paraphrase him: 'Yeah it would be great to get kids training going again but if you do that then you will be bringing all the parents as well, so lets see how the schools opening works out first'. No matter how hard Claire Byrne tried to get him to row in with the level of hysteria they are whipping up looking for a 'Clear Roadmap' - todays version of 'Meaningful Christmas' - he refused to catastrophise. The contrast with Alan Kelly wetting himself with his racist variant rhetoric and screechy demands for exact numbers and dates for reopening was striking.
Strange system the GAA have of having very short term presidents of varying competence, this lad appears to have done well through a difficult time. I suppose it fits in with the amateur ethos but it can't be ideal.

A couple of months ago, I thought I was working on a test machine in the banks IT test office and started doing some experiments that fired cash out the front of an ATM, turns out the machine was in a live branch and the cash was being fired out onto the street, at the branch they only realised what was happening when someone walked in from the street and told them!

I had a look on his wife's instagram, not my taste but clearly she's very creative.
I don't think photos 1,2 & 4 look particularly outrageous but the child's room in pic 3 is probably a bit out there for me.

I remember looking for a 10k car loan a few years back and no bank would give me a proper rate without it being cash secured (you make a 2-3k deposit from savings that can't be touched during the loan). To go "unsecured" as they put it was about 30% higher of an interest rate. They are punitive in terms of requirements for anything these days.Last edited by coillcam; 24-02-21, 12:39.

Anyone who lives near him and is looking to renovate should ask for the contact details of the painter and whomever did the flooring.
If he/she did it themselves, they should probably do it for a living!Last edited by Guest; 24-02-21, 13:38.

I also noticed on instragram that’s she some diy/stylist promotor with crown paints. So I said that’s a factor in it being eye-catching and focused on paint /diy furniture upcycling.Last edited by Mellor; 24-02-21, 14:31.

Reading & Leeds music festivals going ahead as planned in August.
That feels so close yet we seem so far away from anything even resembling a music festival.
Brexit FTW

truth is there are far too many people who aren’t planning on getting the vaccine for me to risk anything before I’m sure I’ve got it.
think we’re likely to see at least one more set of lockdowns after the next opening up.

One booking for Cork in October too but nothing abroad.
We have a 1k voucher for Aer Lingus from our NY trip which is in fact a real voucher valid for 5 years opposed to simply a change of time/location so that's handy.
Outside of a probable work trip near the end of the year, we wont be looking at anything abroad in 21 but I do think you'll get abroad handy enough around that time.

I sometimes wish I didn't have knowledge of the above cities but we have offices in three of the above and Shenyang would be serviced by our Dalian office. Looking at your wiki list, I'm 81 for 81 with offices in the vast majority.
My equivalent in Tianjin is a right bollix who I regularly have to argue with over sums of money that wouldn't be large enough to get one entry to your legendary Cheltenham competition
