I have seen bad driving before but that takes the biscuit!

    On the other hand... Italian women
    I remember heading into Rome from the airport and there was debris all over the road from a car and a very badly smashed up moped. I was convinced that we were going to see the moped driver dead on the street, it looked so bad. But no, the moped driver (female) was standing by the side of road and she was a picture of complete and utter perfection. She looked like she was about to step onto a catwalk after just having her hair, make up and nails done. I don't even think there was the slightest crease in her clothes.

Then its a fairly obvious Cuba situation, where you have this US-funded heavily-armed pain in the ass on your border, and its automatic invasion. That's probably why the US has repeatedly warned Taiwan not to declare independence.

        The current situation is nothing. Taiwanese domestic defence minister wants approval for billions of extra armaments, so he ratchets up the fear factor. China doesn't want to have billions of armaments aimed against them so they are sabre-rattling. Its all meaningless though, there won't be any 'war' when it eventually comes to it because everyone loses from destroying resources and the China-Taiwan imbalance will be so great.

                I lived in Poland for a while, there are some beautiful places there but Warsaw isn't one of them

                  I think I'm staying around the corner from the glove place that V (and Simon Crompton) mentioned before. Makes a nice gift.

                      I'm fully convinced we all need to be doing this. Jump on a plane, spend a day or two, reset the dial, explore. Its a pure luxury and yet not necessarily super expensive if planned right.

                            There are two types of Italian woman,
                            pre-marriage & post-marriage.
                            The standard diverges alarmingly.

                              Crompton said a few years later he wasn't sure if leather gloves were worth getting done custom as they tend to distort and stretch over time. Having said that if I happened to be in Warsaw I'd definitely be checking them out!! The best gifts are the ones you get yourself.

                                As for the custom shirts I really miss Smyth & Gibson. They were at least 3x superior to Tailors mark and anything else I tried tbh. Plus the service ordering in BT and getting the cuffs and collar replaced for free after 3-4 years made them easily worth the €150 each I paid for them.

                                  Yeah. They're cheaper there than "genuine leather" gloves here.

                                  There's also two bespoke shoe shops within walking difference but that's a different price point.

                                  My Smyth & Gibson shirts are still perfect at this stage.

                                          I only ever wear shirts to functions or interviews if it can't possibly be avoided. Probably wore a shirt 10 times in the last 5 years. Shirt collars were invented by Satan. Don't get me started on ties.

                                              On the Bond thing, i inadvertently read a spoiler the other evening that if true surely heralds the end of the franchise.

                                              SPOILER
                                              Apparently Bond retires and some woman inherits the 007 moniker. Was browsing PP and saw the "next James Bond" market, saw a name that looked female high up the list; wikipedia'd it and the rest was history.

                                              Might still go and see the current film but future films are fucked IMO if that's the case

                                                                      Did my back in at work a few months ago. Pain going from lower back up into neck.
                                                                      MRI done and prolapsed disc with other problems.

                                                                      Balls

                                                                      took time to build up the walking afterwards but back to normal now bar not being able to lift anything too heavy. Shopping and toddlers are fine tho.

Then its a fairly obvious Cuba situation, where you have this US-funded heavily-armed pain in the ass on your border, and its automatic invasion. That's probably why the US has repeatedly warned Taiwan not to declare independence.

                                                                          The current situation is nothing. Taiwanese domestic defence minister wants approval for billions of extra armaments, so he ratchets up the fear factor. China doesn't want to have billions of armaments aimed against them so they are sabre-rattling. Its all meaningless though, there won't be any 'war' when it eventually comes to it because everyone loses from destroying resources and the China-Taiwan imbalance will be so great.

We do need some sort of balance, as much as I hate the fact that this single pub will probably be a bigger news story than the decisions made in the €165bn national development plan.

                                                                                          Only had a phone message from GP so havent had a chance to talk and discuss options yet.
                                                                                          She is recommending Ashley Poynton in the Mater as a number of her patients had good outcomes with him.

                                                                                          I asked the secretary for a copy of the MRI report and she said she has to get permission from the GP to send it to me!
                                                                                          Like it would be beneficial to have a look and formulate questions in advance of an options discussion with said GP (another €65 for that meeting) rather than just accepting that you get referred to the most expensive consultant in the solar system (may be an an exaggerateion). GPs job is fairly easy...look at report...disc prolapse etc...refer preferred consultant..job done. Her duty of care has been fulfilled. Does it really need an uber expert though?

                                                                                          Most of the time going to these GPs you already know the problem..get charged 50 to 65 and get a chit for drugs.

                                                                                          Broke my thumb hurling years ago..spent about 3 or 4 days working etc in pain all swollen...Medic in the Fitz took one look ..broken no question.

                                                                                          Had to go to a GP to get referral. Hardly looked at the thumb said he was more worried about my wrist!! Very slight bony protrusion on my wrist and hes all over it like hes made a major discovery . Now my thumb was swollen to about 1.5 size.. tight and sore black and blue. Told him it was a specific hurling injury definitely on the thumb and him mesmerised with my wrist. Me dubiously checking the framed qualification certs on the wall. "Oh, was that an online course you did on skeletal systems?".

                                                                                          Comment


                                                                                            Our house hunting journey seems to have finished today with the vendors signing on the dotted line. A somewhat unimaginative journey given that we bought a house we saw on the very first day.

                                                                                            Quite an interesting situation on the close though, which I have to thank my car driving instructor for. The basic situation is that we agreed to pay €610,000 for a bog standard council house measuring a grand total of 80sqm, and everything was going grand until the bank valuer came back and said its not worth a penny over €550,000 - so the mortgage was stuck to that amount.

                                                                                            That left us with a €60,000 hole to fill as we genuinely like the place and the vibe it gives off, despite me dismissing it above as a small run-down council house.

                                                                                            How we did that was first to get the mortgage valuer to increase his valuation. We tried to get him to go half the distance, but he would only reluctantly go up €10,000. And that was just a favour to the broker. €10,000 down and €50,000 to go. We were going to give up and then I decided to give it a last push remembering what my driving instructor said about him and his siblings selling their parents house. He said the broker, when they were selling, had implored him to wait another another month or two before closing and there might be an extra €20,000 in it. He said - well whats €20,000 to me - it will be divided four ways with the rest of the family and what if the sale falls through. Grab the duck in hand not the 20k richer duck in the bush.

Three siblings selling for their father who had lived there happily since 1959 and was now in assisted living. I sold €30,000 of my precious crypto, narrowing the remaining gap to €20,000, and we went back and said - look we can close tomorrow, everything is ready to sign. The bank has the mortgage ready to pay out. Except that we can't go over €590,000. Really sorry, we'd love to pay you what we initially promised, but we physically can't due to that darned valuer. They came back the next day saying no bother, let's sign. Everyones happy. And I get to write about how I negotiated 20k off a house at the height of the boomiest boom in boomtimes. (leaving unquestioned the idea that maybe we agreed to overpay so much, that even the seller felt sorry for our cluelessness).

                                                                                              Quite an interesting situation on the close though, which I have to thank my car driving instructor for. The basic situation is that we agreed to pay €610,000 for a bog standard council house measuring a grand total of 80sqm, and everything was going grand until the bank valuer came back and said its not worth a penny over €550,000 - so the mortgage was stuck to that amount.

                                                                                              That left us with a €60,000 hole to fill as we genuinely like the place and the vibe it gives off, despite me dismissing it above as a small run-down council house.

                                                                                              How we did that was first to get the mortgage valuer to increase his valuation. We tried to get him to go half the distance, but he would only reluctantly go up €10,000. And that was just a favour to the broker. €10,000 down and €50,000 to go. We were going to give up and then I decided to give it a last push remembering what my driving instructor said about him and his siblings selling their parents house.
