Maybe the takeaway from the sentences handed down yesterday should be how short sentences for hired murderers are here now.
Any scummer being paid a few grand to torture someone would surely rather kill them for the lighter sentence, what sort of a society would it be where it's more expensive to have someone tortured than killed.Turning millions into thousands

I was asked a good question earlier: What's the biggest country that you know nothing about?
After due reflection, I thought my answer was probably 'Indonesia'. With Brazil up there too. And, surprisingly (given it is in the same cultural sphere as ourselves), Canada would get a run too.
In Europe, probably Bulgaria or Romania.

Meant to ask you a while back, what's your take on Girl Band going all PC and changing their name to Gilla Band? I've never heard of them getting any grief over their original name but maybe they did?
Seems like a bit of an over reaction and not very punk like?
Good question about Girl/Gilla Band - I'm conflicted. On the one hand it's their name and they can do what they like with it, not withstanding that Gilla Band is a helluva shitty name - they should have just gone for something completely different IMO and maybe run a competition of something for a new name. that would have been fun instead of this po-faced volte-face.
On the other I do feel it's a complete overreaction. AFAIK there was no public negativity towards the name Girl Band. Some overly woke do-gooders were obviously pouring poison in their ear and they succumbed. Look, overall there's much worse to get het up over than a band changing their name for what they perceive is a good reason but I am nevertheless disappointed that they seem to have been easily influenced.
What next? Are The Mary Wallopers gonna change their name? I don't think so!
They should just have got over themselves and realised its only a band name and no one was gonna lose an eye over it.
Still hoping to go see them at the end of Jan in Whelan's but doubt I'll be buying the t-shirt now!Last edited by BennyHiFi; 21-12-21, 12:18.

Last week, you were on the Food Network’s latest game show, Cranberries or Bust, where you had a choice between two doors: A and B. One door had a lifetime supply of cranberry sauce behind it, while the other door had absolutely nothing behind it. And boy, did you love cranberry sauce.
Of course, there was a twist. The host presented you with a coin with two sides, marked A and B, which corresponded to each door. The host told you that the coin was weighted in favor of the cranberry door — without telling you which door that was — and that door’s letter would turn up 60 percent of the time. For example, if the sauce had been behind door A, then the coin would have turned up A 60 percent of the time and B the remaining 40 percent of the time.
You could flip the coin twice, after which you had to make your selection. Assuming you optimized your strategy, what were your chances of choosing the door with the cranberry sauce?

We have had 660K covid cases. Assuming a reasonable confirmed case to undetected infection ratio of one to ten, wouldn't most of us have had it by now?
The NLF suspended their intensive testing regime because most of the positive cases (85%) simply weren't sick. These cases would rarely detected be in the wider community because asymptomatic people don't generally present for a test.

Can't believe in all our many years of debating the critical issues of the day, we have never broached the topic of what are the best crackers to be paired with cheese.
This thought occurred to me as I contemplated some expensive Sheridans crackers that were a sub-optimal delivery vehicle for todays cheese investments.
Discuss, ideally with recommendations."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Speaking of the queue, I went to the St Anne's store about two months ago and there was a couple ahead of me in the queue which I thought was great. Unfortunately, the group of three people inside proceded to spend over 20 minutes in the store and bought nothing, absoluting NOTHING.
It got to the point that one of the lads from the shop came out and apologised to us and told us they were just tasting and buying nothing and he was about to have to throw them out as they weren't getting the not so subtle hints.

You just can't beat Carr's table water crackers for a cheese board. Maybe proper crusty slices of real French baguette.
Keep it simple, the cheese is the main event. Oh, and freeze the grapes. Take them out an hour beforehand so they're sorbet.
Cheese should be room temp too.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Would like a good discussion on it in here actually, be interested to hear opinions.

Decent thread on boards that's worth reading back a few pages detailing all the drinks offers available this Christmas, and keeping an eye on going forwards.
As well as the normal slab offers on the 'name brands' which seem as good as ever, there's also a definite pre-MUP sell-off of the own brand stuff which is going to mostly unsellable at MUP prices. e.g., bottles of Lidl spiced rum CaptainMorgCook for €7, can of own brand beers going for 50c (store dependent) , Tesco selling their own brand 'world vineyards' wine at €3.33 (can confirm this price personally).
