Epic photo in the Irish Times today.

Aileen’s, the perfect wave break at the base of the Cliffs of Moher that exploded on to the world’s surfing radar in recent years, now has a new rival as Ireland’s most spectacular surf spot.

The latest wave, dubbed “Prowlers” by the hardy crew of Irish, British and South African surfers who first ventured out on it yesterday, breaks on an undersea reef about 2km (1.2 miles) off the west coast. While they are refusing to disclose its exact location, the surfers, including Andrew Cotton, reveal they have been waiting five years for the type of conditions required to surf it.

These materialised when the massive swell generated by Hurricane Tomas slammed into Ireland yesterday, creating intensely heavy, tubing waves with 12-15m (40-50ft) faces.

Important Question

Never mind all the other shit, need to get this sorted.

Christmas night out in town for about 25 people. Preferable somewhere that we could stay on after the meal for a few drinks (decent bar food acceptable). Prob a Thur/Fri night. Not looking for a five course job with champagne.

Salamanca would be my own preference but don't think you can stay there or if you'd want to, but thats the kind of thing I'm looking for if you catch my drift (ie reasonable enough).

Thanks.

[Strewelpeter]

This weeks episode of BE was my favorite of the season so far. The show is slow but its very rare I am bored and while its hasn't lit the touch paper just yet it is always highly engrossing and entertaining. Building a complicated world with the many different intricate relationships takes time but is ultimately much more rewarding ala The Wire.

Dexter I have no doubts is coming together to be great season but the way they have gotten to this point really bothers me. Its completely ridiculous and has more plot holes that a barrel of swiss cheese at the moment. Fair enough maybe I should look past it and just enjoy the show for what it is but thats hard as Dexter while having its failings never really expected you to suspend reality to the cartoon level they are asking this season.

Opr

This.

BE is superb and last nights episode was one of the best. I really hope they make a few seasons.

Dexter is always crap until the last couple of episodes. I haven't watched any of the new series yet but I assume it will be the same series of ridiculous plot twists that ratchet up the suspense for the climax which is released over the last three episodes.

Now, onto the business of the day. I have an American friend in Belgium who is coming over tomorrow. However, her sister (who I've never met) is in Europe for a month and could only get the early flight over here meaning she is in my charge from 11am til 10pm when her sis gets here.
Basically wtf do I do with a 25 y.o. Floridian who has never been outside the U.S., in Dublin, in November, in the daytime?

I'd like to see anyone with previous convictions for serious crimes automatically refused bail. Would probably prevent a lot of witness intimidation as well.

Kayroo's thoughts would be interesting here as he's the resident expert. I'm sure my suggestion is probably massively unconstitutional!

The basic rule with bail is that it is a right, not a privilege. The courts need to have a very good reason to refuse bail under one of 2 basic principles, namely the provisions of section 2 of the Bail Act 1997 or under the O'Callaghan Principles (link here to a PDF of the Law Reform Commission Report on the Law of Bail that lead to the 1997 Act. Before this Act only the O'Callaghan principles applied)

In either case the person will be granted bail as a corollary of the presumption of innocence. You cannot forcibly hold a person who has not been convicted of a crime.

Our Bail statistics really speak for themselves and there is no doubt that this is a serious issue. One of the problems is the relatively short periods of time people actually serve for some offences. Minor offences, such as small scale theft etc, can result in a person only spending a few days in prison as the Prison Service is woefully under-funded and under-resourced. Mountjoy is a monument to national shame in my opinion. It is a Dickensian hell-hole and the authorities have to balance keeping serious criminals incarcerated with over-crowding caused by small time career criminals.

As for "three-strikes you're out" that has lead to manifest injustice in countries where it has been applied. Imagine you had a public order offence on your record from a messy New Years Eve and maybe you jumped in to help a friend who got into a stupid fight 18 months later and got caught. There's your 2 offences. What happens if you get caught with some marijuana on you one night or you are done for drink driving the morning after the night before? Under 3-Strikes you're off to jail for a long time.

Obviously then the argument is to limit the strikes to "serious" offences (legal definition of a serious offence is a crime carrying a maximum possible penalty of 5 years or more) that still keeps many, if not most, "career" criminals out of the loop as, for the most part, they commit small scale District Court level crimes.

If you ever want to experience a bail hearing they are held in public every day in the CCJ. They almost NEVER take more than 3-5 minutes so you'll get to see the patterns pretty quick. They are interesting to be honest.

One thing about those sentences mentioned above that wasn't mentioned in the article is that offences committed while on Bail are consecutive rather than concurrent (which is the norm) so they'll only start to serve those sentences at the end of the sentences they will serve for the crimes they were on bail for.

On a lighter note Americans lap up shit like the Book of Kells in Trinity and shit like that.

I see them walking around the Courts a lot too which is, frankly, WEIRD.

I have seen loads of guys go for interviews in Topman and river Island suits etc. Its not a huge deal but I wont lie you can spot the difference between them and a Lou Copland tailored suit. Main thing I would say to avoid looking like a hippster tosser is to get a white shirt and a decent tie. I always think that for an interview it is deffo the way to go. Also try and keep the pin strips to a minimum. I know it sounds really bland but generally looks a lot more professional and you realistically want them concentracting on what you are saying and not thinking why is that guy taking his wardrobe advice from George Hook. (George Hook dresses like an actual clown)

[V for Vendetta]

Sorry lads I can't access*IPB from work so I'm emailing*some pension thoughts and pasting them in.*Apologies if there are formatting issues.
*
*
Firstly, I don't think the basic OAP should be means tested as it would be a huge kick in the teeth for*responsible*low to middle income earners,*as it*discourages long term saving amongst this group and makes them more dependent on the state. It adds to the already huge poverty trap and disincentive to work in this country at lower income levels. We should be removing such barriers not adding to them.
*
If*you are suggesting that a second voluntary state pension pillar on top of the OAP be put in place*that idea certainly has some merit.*Voluntary second state pensions are available in a lot of European countries, but in Ireland with a busto rent boy government I also have some serious concerns.
*
There are two key facts as far as I can see it.
*
1. The government has a vested interest in having people adopt good financial planning habits. The reasons for this*should be self evident.
*
2. The government can't be trusted to mind our money (see the experience with the NPRF) or to meet it's promises over the long term. Witness changes to the OAP retirement age that are proposed and the future pending pension cuts over the next year through both the front and back door (cuts in public sector pensions will be rapidly followed by a weakening of the pension promise forced on the private sector). Also the tax relief smoke and mirrors will halt anyone with an income over 50k making any pension provision. Not just reduce their making pension provision but kill it stone dead for any rational investor (there will always be exceptions of course).
*
*
Any future pensions framework should bear both of these facts in mind. I have some more complex views as to what I would do in relation to a pensions framework in Ireland but I won't waste my keyboard strokes as*the good ideas*won't be implemented and most people here don't care about it anyway, and they*care even less about something that won't happen. (I hardly even care myself as it's merely an exercise in I told you so).
*
*
*
But*I will rant about something I ranted about before, people need to take personal responsibility. If you end up living in poverty given that you've had a decent education, live in the wealthiest area of the planet, enjoy a freedom of movement unparalleled anywhere else in the world you have to take a look at yourself first. Nobody wants to hear your whinging and frankly to the majority of the people living on this planet would be right to say - you have some f**king cheek!
*
Once you'd accepted your own personal responsibility then you need to sit down and make a plan.
*
Okay I'm a QFA and I have some experience in this area but I was making financial plans since*I was very young. My Dad tells the touching story about how I got very upset at age 7 about the prospect of me not going to the college. I didn't need a degree or anything else to know*that*it was an unlikely prospect given my families circumstances at that time. 4 of us living in one room in my grandparents house, with our current family home rented out to try and*service a 16% mortgage,*my Dad working three jobs and us taking out a credit union loan to pay for the plastering on our self build*future home. My parents clearly had to make huge sacrifices to fund a family that ended up with 4 kids going to college from a low income background (my Dad was a lowly corporal in an army paying the lowest wages in the then EC).
*
I don't have anytime for someone who says they can't/don't understand finance or politics or what's happening to them. You're an adult now so grow up and make*whatever*effort is required*to understand.
*
In relation to long term planning we need to stop thinking about income in any given year and focus more on wealth accumulation and the expected duration of*our lives versus*our economically productive period. Somebody earning 100k but with a high risk of losing that income is clearly different from somebody earning 50k in a sustainable and long term career. Similarly somebody with an expectation of living until 75 and working until 65 is radically different to somebody thinking of working until age 70 and living until age 90+
*
How*each individual financially plans for their short, medium and long term futures is entirely different.*So everybody needs to think critically about their own career path and their realistic financial goals and the likelihood of their employment at any particular time and their ability to take and manage*risk (health, work availability, earnings potential, investment return on assets, etc)*. You need to think about your actions when your annual income is high and when it is low. Keeping your overheads low and managing your finances should be second nature for poker players during good times and bad. If you look at the long term poker survivors watch how they handle a big win and watch how they manage a losing streak. There is a lot to be learned from the game we play.
*
The other thing we need to manage is our own expectations. It's very easy to think because you are earning 100k that you can then sustain a certain lifestyle for the next 60 years. The sad truth is you can't. You need to be making that 100k for at least 30 years before you can allow yourself the luxury to relax into that lifestyle.
*
The linked paper (https://web.actuaries.ie/events/2010...-planning)*and somewhat shorter presentation by Milliman highlights some of the issues pretty well imo but it's a bit academic.

I'm working out of an office down near Trinity actually. Bring her over and I'll take the pic, therefore you have no moral dilemma

In all seriousness the sheer epicness of the BBV demands pics in these situations!

I would say Guinness Store House is a definite runner and the musem at Collins barracks is worth a look if she is into that type of thing. Also get yourself into a pub with a trad band so she can sample a bit of the ole Irish culture. You could also take her down to the IFSC to show her the ruins of Irelands glorious international empire and of course there is also the spire that I presume was meant to be some sort of tourist attraction.

I believe the laughter lounge do a good food, drink, comedy and nightclub combo.

I arranged a virtual golf, wii , drinks and food gig last year for 20 people which was a great laugh for a mixed age group for 25 per head.

Lots of good options out there if you wanna do something different. I fancy a Korean BBQ followed by some drunken karaoke this year.

The whole post was excellent but this in particular strikes a chord.

I'm completely on board with you here, we are better off than probably 95% of people in the world and still some people spend their entire life moaning about how hard things are and how life is unfair. I think we're blessed and we have opportunities, chances and choices that the vast majority of people in the world only dream about.

I understand that everything is relative and that people will get used to a certain standard/way of life, but when you actually lift your head out of the trenches and see all that's going for you in a global sense it should really give you some perspective.
































I still want my state pension though

Reading that thread was like getting bukakked with stupid, on both sides

Or the ones of those that come here from other countries when they retire because the pension where they were is smaller that it is here, and they get there pension topped up to Irish levels.

These people also f'd up the country. They voted for clientelist politics for decades, they knelt before churchmen for decades, meaning that virtually every progressive change came to Ireland last.

Just keep cuttin what passes for a public health service - close off some more wards - leave them sittin on chairs in A&E for days - just keep goin like that and you won't have too many oldies collecting their pensions for long - problem solved.

But, Amsterdam is very pictureesqe (sic!) with tonnes to do though (e.g. the Van Gogh museum easily beats every other museum in the world), and Rome just seems 'a bit too busy'.

Rome is an incredible place, the only problem with going there for 4 days is, it is not enough. The place is so rich in culture art and history that it can be hard to take in. The only reason I'd choose the dam over Rome is simply, a trip to Rome should be planned and enjoyed over a longer period. The mere mention of it has me wanting to get back there pronto. LOL at anyone choosing Amsterdam over Rome and quoting Museums, Art Galleries etc. Seriously laddies.

Package games -
Most days at 8.55pm are the €10 rebuy for 90min games. these are turbo 5 min blinds and the rebuys are 3k chips but by the time u get to break (topup 30k for €10) the blinds are at 5k/10k. Now if u can get a stack together by the 1k/2k level on the cheap they can be profitable, but will only have 1 package & 3/4 prizes of €250 each. Absolute crapshoot but meh.

On Thursday this seems to turn into a €215 freezout - didn't play any of these yet.

Seat Only -
Sunday nights 6.55pm. €82 freezout with €11 sats into it. This is the best one imo (4 tickets in the one I played) & was over at 11.30.

Hope this helps.

My Rome story (yes I have one for every eventuality). TL/DR etc.

Got married in August 2003 and in September we went to Rome for a week for a kind of late honeymoon. Couldn't go in August as Kerry were still in the running for SAM

Anyway we had gotten hold of two tickets to 'an audience' with the Pope JPII. We had to collect the tickets from some office in the Vatican. I wore a suit and my wife wore a kind of white outfit (not her wedding dress) as we had been advised to do. Arrived at the vatican and showed our letter and we were brought into this dingy little office with what seemed like a mafiosa in charge. He had no English and I had no Italian but I explained "matrimony, billetti, Pope". He took out this list and was going through it, when I happend to see our names on the page for the previous week Anyway, he eventually got sick of us and took two tickets out of this pocket.

We then go to this huge auditorium and all the recently married couples were up the top in a cordoned off area. They weren't letting anymore in as it was full so we had to sit with about 4 other married couples just outside the railing (still close enough to see the man himself). He talked for about 40 mins then he is doing private blessings inside the railing. Course there is pandamonium trying to get in (literally priest bouncers blocking the way) and my missus is giving me grief for arriving late and not being inside the railing.

i spot this priest who seems to know what he is about and he is giving one bouncer a shit load of abuse in Italian (stupido, cunto, etc). The bouncer eventually backs down and asks him who is with him. He points at about 10 people and I tip him and nod and he then points at me too. I am at the gate when said bouncer looks at me and gestures as if to say WTF. I show him my wedding ring and say again 'matrimony' and grap by wife through a baying throng and in we go.

We eventually get up to the feet of JPII and someone asks us where we are from and we say Ireland and he tells JP and he gives us a big thumbs up and blesses us. Surreal moment I have to say.

We head off all happy with ourselves only to realise we didn't get a picture of it, although there were about 4 official photographers there. Next day we come back down to see if you can buy the photos somewhere and are pointed towards a shop. We walk in and see about 20000 (no exaggeration) photos about 2 inches by 2 inches around the shop and are told to "find ourselves". I told the missus to start in one corner and I would start in the other. First photo I look at and there is Careca and MrsCareca staring out at me
There were about 8 in total and we bought the lot (enlarged obv).

The sex was good that night.
