Guys can anyone suggest the best way of getting from Sandyford to Castleknock?

How much would a taxi cost roughly?

The only other way I know is getting the Luas to town, walking to Connelly and getting the Maynooth train from there, but I think that would take ages and the weather could be terrible...

[carlop]

word of warning to any of you who plan to go to el clasico on November 28th, well it's been moved to the 29th A MONDAY.

That's a serious trek.

Not sure if there's any buses either to shorten the journey!

[Keane]

It would make it easier if I knew where there was a dart station in Sandyford as I could just take that to Connolly.

Can I get the Luas to anywhere near Connolly or do I need to get off at Stephen's Green?

Luas line to Sandyford stops at Stephen's green, about a 15 min walk to Connolly, or 10 to Tara/Pearse.

Give this a shot - looks promising

The Red Line Luas goes into Connolly.

[Teddie]

Luas to town and then the 37 dpending on where you are going in Castleknock.

Last stop on the Sandyford line is Stephen's Green - jump off there and walk around to Dawson Street (2 minute walk) and get the 37 bus to Castleknock

Coolmine/Clonsilla type area.

Think it would be the 37 I want alright, that's what I was told anyway - that goes from outside that Ulster bank near Trinity right?

Better option than going to Connolly for the train?

[RoadSweeper]

Air coach to OConnell st and 38 to castleknock?

Think this is the option I'll go for since I sort of know it, at least I've used both services independantly before.

I figure it would amount to an hour or so travel time? A bit more maybe?

Yeah struggling with the flights at the mo. Any ideas? 500 on expedia. Ryanair sold out.

Had a look around there. If you go with this, you will have to email entraction and request a day 1b start . It also means a bit of hanging around in airport terminals, but its a cheap way.

Wed nov 17th all flights with ryanair

dublin to leeds/brad--depart 08.05am arrive 09.05am
leeds/brad to malta--depart 16.00pm arrive 20.30pm

Sunday nov 21st

malta to leeds/brad-- depart 20.10pm arrive 22.45pm

as its so late, have to wait till early next morning for next connection

Monday nov 22nd
leeds/brad to dublin--depart 06.45am arrive 07.40am

The cost of the dublin leeds/brad return flight is €58 total, + 10 administration fee.
The cost of the leeds/brad malta return flight is £84 stl (€100) + 10 admin fee.

So thats less than 200 euro. You can book a cheap room near luton airport for about £40 if you wanna put your head down on the sunday night instead of waiting in the airport overnite.

Hope that helps.

Nearly missed it as I was trading the Boston v Miami game. Don't trade many games as I don't have enough knowledge of the NBA. Just a few that I think the odds will fluctuate nicely plus a few other conditions. I should probably put more effort into it and if anything I'm a little too cautious in terms of game selection and getting out of the market.

Every season I've watched has been really entertaining. Yeah, you always get the needling between the coaches. It must be hard to see the guy you're going to fight every day and interact with them. Must be even harder for the fighters living in the house. That'd do my head in.

I must catch up on the last few series.

For some reason I always presumed that the richest person in our time to be the richest of all time. Perhaps it is because some people complain about the wealth of the richest in the world.

Turns out that the richest person alive would is only about 40th richest of all time (Bill gates peeked at 20th richest when he was estimated to have 100 billion in 2007 but has slightly more than half of that as per Forbes 2010).

Top ten richest of all time with bios

Richest ever list (2008)

A note about the list: since it is based on the proportion of peak wealth to the national GDP in the country the individual lived in at the time they were alive

Is this an odd way to do it? Would inflation adjusted make more sense or have a similar result?


Number 10 seems like quite a character...

The two men manipulated his steamship company's stock in his absence and took it over. The letter read "Gentlemen: you have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for the law is too slow. I'll ruin you. Yours truly, Cornelius Vanderbilt." True to his words, two years later Vanderbilt forced them out of business by running a competing business.

he disowned all of his sons other than William (see above), believing that only William was ruthless enough in business to be capable of maintaining his empire.

[Mellor]

I used to watch it religiously when it first came out. Haven't watched it lately though. The Leben Koscheck series was my fav.

That was the original series,

Forrest Griffin ,Stephan Bonnar, Mike Swick, Josh Koscheck, Diego Sanchez, Kenny Florian, Chris Leben, epic cast, most had a title shot at one point.

the finale is still prob one of the best MMA fights out there. Defo the biggest for the sport.

This is my first season watching it properly. Pretty entertaining, lots of interesting characters in the house.

The dynamic between GSP and Koscheck with them due to fight soon is pretty good too...

This seson has been one of the better ones, 8, 9 were good, and 1, 2 and 3

Kos and GSP is a little one sided, check out Matt Huges and Mat Sera, or shamrock and tito


Koschek is coming off really bad this series, I used to like the guy, and was up for him (even though GSP will kill him), but know think he's a dick and hope he gets bashed.

[Emmet]

Raoully Roaully. Who is this guy contradicting you?

OPINION: Economist Morgan Kelly is too pessimistic: Ireland is moving towards “self-help” status and that is what we should promote, writes DONAL O'MAHONY

YES, WE are all bond market vigilantes now. The gyrations of Irish government bond yields are fast becoming a national obsession, with talking heads dominating all media outlets in a manner that leaves the dogs in the street straining to get a decent bark in. Market opinions are many and varied, ranging from the Room-101 musings of ivory-towered inhabitants to the breathless whisperings of the shoe-shine brigade.

There is plenty to opinionate about. Irish bond yields have catapulted higher over the past month, the benchmark 10 year rising from 6 per cent to circa 9 per cent currently, the highest since 1995. Spreads against benchmark German bunds have surged to 6.5 per cent, levels unseen since the mid-1980s, a period during which currency concerns were embedded in all risk perceptions surrounding the Irish market.

Now, currency fears have been replaced by credit fears, epitomised by the spike in Irish sovereign credit default swap spreads to 6.2 per cent, this market thus ascribing a 51 per cent default probability over the next five years.

Investors are evidently reappraising Ireland’s willingness and/or ability to service its obligations, beset as it is by higher banking and fiscal consolidation costs, renewed political instability and, not least, destructive media commentary both at home and abroad.

Bearish commentary has focused in part on the increased burden of fiscal adjustment (€15 billion versus €7 billion) now required during the 2011-14 consolidation period. However, such adjustments owe nothing to the (in-line) budgetary out-turn of the past 12 months, and everything to the more conservative assumptions for Irish growth prospects over the forecast period. In normal times, this combination of conservative fiscal assumptions and front-loading of budgetary adjustments would be deemed credible by bond market players, and rewarded accordingly.

Unfortunately, current circumstances are far from normal. One untold story of the past several weeks has been the calamitous fallout in Irish bank debt markets engendered by the proposed default of €2.4 billion in subordinated bonds issued by Anglo Irish Bank.

LIABILITY MANAGEMENT exercises on subordinated debt have been a feature of the bank recapitalisation story (at home and abroad) over the past 18 months, but all being conducted without the compulsion of investor participation, such that issuers (the Irish included) might still be seen to be honouring their liabilities in full.

Now, with the enforced “burden sharing” for Anglo subordinated bond holders, unintended consequences have engulfed the Irish debt markets. The ratings agencies quickly assumed the loss of “systemic support” for similar categories of subordinated debt issued by both Bank of Ireland and AIB and, in awarding them “junk bond” status, triggered a self-feeding spiral of higher debt yields.

Contagion spread rapidly to the senior bank and sovereign debt markets, while German chancellor Angela Merkel’s subsequent “bail-in” proposal for a post-2013 sovereign debt restructuring mechanism only added fuel to the fire of an Irish debt-spiral. The appalling vista this morning is of a recapitalised Bank of Ireland, trying to make its way in the world to support Irish economic recovery, but now with the millstone of 10 per cent (guaranteed), or 13 per cent (unguaranteed) funding costs weighing heavily around its neck.

How depressingly ironic, therefore, to read Morgan Kelly’s recent contention on these pages that “what is driving our bond yields to record levels is . . . the bank bailout”, the Irish authorities having missed September’s opportunity to default on €55 billion of maturing guaranteed bank debt in order to resolve the banking crisis “by sharing costs with the bondholders”.

Those who have wondered aloud about the outcome of a laboratory experiment to assess the impact of an orchestrated default in the Irish financial system now have their answer. Those who advocate bond defaults, but then seek alternative explanations for rising bond yields, betray breathtaking ignorance of bond market dynamics.

THE ARTICLE was equally breathtaking for its thinly veiled attempt to conscript a “powerful political constituency” of 200,000 would-be defaultees to engage in a “Mortgage War”, on the basis that “you too were mauled by the Celtic Tiger after being conned into taking out an unaffordable mortgage”.

It is apparent that the author believes strongly in his own powers of persuasion, those expectations for “mass mortgage defaults” guiding his apocalyptic forecast of additional €42 billion taxpayer losses at Bank of Ireland and AIB. His expectation for AIB losses appears particularly heroic, covering the vast bulk of AIB’s €27 billion mortgage book.

Most breathtaking of all, however, is the hubris displayed in second-guessing the “stress-test” findings of the independent financial regulator regarding Irish bank balance sheets. One can only guess at the superior font of knowledge out of which the author sups, as his €42 billion loan loss forecasts are without substantiation, and therefore appear more designed to scarify the readership than to make a genuine attempt to inform.

To be sure, delinquency rates are rising in the Irish mortgage book, but levels remain relatively low (4.6 per cent of the total at last count) and the banks now have Matthew Elderfield’s blessing for “taking a responsible, reasonable approach of forbearance by allowing customers to reschedule”.

With the labour market finally stabilising, there are clear grounds for optimism that ultimate mortgage-related losses will fall within the realms of the regulator’s “stress-test” assumptions. On that basis, the surviving and recapitalised Irish banks will have been bestowed with a more than sufficient buffer for the residual loan impairment risks ahead.

If the “Mortgage War” article serves any purpose, it is to highlight yet again the destructive forces wreaked by the politics of anger in this country. The author may protest his innocence in this regard, as will his legion of acolytes, but the upshot of such diatribes is to provide further cheap fodder to the Financial Times headliners and internet bloggers who are apt to display a schadenfreudian delight at Ireland’s current misfortunes. Widespread media recycling of such material at a time of heightened overseas investor anxiety towards the Irish story simply reinforces the pervasive bearish sentiment, and liquidation, that is now playing out in our markets.

TRUE TO ITS nihilistic endeavour, the “Mortgage War” article offers no solution of the author’s own to the nation’s current predicaments. For the author, Ireland’s economic and fiscal sovereignty is beyond repair, such that henceforth “we can only rely on the kindness of strangers”. Thankfully, the economic prognosis begs to differ, with Ireland’s “twin-deficit” vulnerabilities fast receding as the external sector rebalances.

The corollary is that Ireland is moving increasingly towards “self-help” status, whereby the ongoing borrowing requirements of the public sector can, in principle, be absorbed by the accumulated surpluses of the private sector. Of course, practice can differ from principle in this regard; hence the need for more enlightened self-interest in the ways in which we disburse the investments of the pension fund and insurance industries, the National Pensions Reserve Fund, and indeed the domestic banks themselves.

In delivering his supportive Rehn-check on the Irish situation this week, the EU economic and monetary affairs commissioner proffered the old Finnish proverb that “better not paint the devil to the wall unless you can wash it off from there”, meaning that exaggerating one’s problems can exacerbate those problems.

In this respect, it is the kindness of one particular EU stranger that is now exhorting us to eschew the “self-destruct” path for a “self-help” alternative.

Citizens, politicians, academics and media, please note.

Anybody watch The Ultimate Fighter?

Good show imo...

This is my first season watching it properly. Pretty entertaining, lots of interesting characters in the house.

The dynamic between GSP and Koscheck with them due to fight soon is pretty good too...

Yeah it's a pretty good series so far. Started off with a bang but the last couple of episodes have been a bit below par imo. If you've missed any, they are all up on youtube. Koschek is a wanker of the highest order and GSP destroyed him once, and i'd say he's itching to do it twice. GSP is always one step ahead in the mind games too, although it's funny watching Koschek think he's winning them

Kos and GSP is a little one sided, check out Matt Huges and Mat Sera, or shamrock and tito

Koschek is coming off really bad this series, I used to like the guy, and was up for him (even though GSP will kill him), but know think he's a dick and hope he gets bashed.

Hmmm seemed to have missed the whole series with Tito/Shamrock so might have to youtube and watch the series. Is it on any MMA with full episodes or is youtube the best option?

Did you really like him? I hated him from day one for his retarded antics in the house and his attitude and looking forward to seeing GSP crush him. He defo hasn't done himself any favours in the house and it seems to be rubbing off on most of his team, as half of them are cocks

[Raoul Duke III]

I have to restart the laptop if i want to hook the other monitor up. Anyone experienced it before and is there anyway of sorting it? Task manager doesn't help. Cheers

labour and fg in college want to have a budget talk a day or two after it (just an excuse to bash ff imo) looks like they're going to have high profile people in (for them ). any recommendations on high profile ecomomists that would come in for something like that?

[Raoul Duke III]

ah wait, here's Donal's track record:

Ireland will soon find itself with two of the most strongly capitalised banks in Europe (AIB and Bank of Ireland).

that's from April this year . I think Donal might just squirm a little if he was reminded of this claptrap.

so's this:

This realisation is already playing out in Irish bank funding markets, where credit spreads are now tightening appreciably against European peers.

Irish banks are now totally shut out of funding markets and depend solely on the ECB for liquidity. They're dead ducks.

hmmmm, stockbroker talking head talking shite. This has never happened before in the history of financial markets. Ever.

summary; put not your trust in false Gods

Is it windows 7 yeah? Depending on grahics card drivers etc, you should be able to switch to a single monitor display from the nvidia or ati or intel tray/control centre for example.

Otherwise type display in the start menu and you can go to "connect to an external monitor" or "display" and reset the properties you need to.

Everyone picks Johnson.Wasnt that impresses with him v wilkinson and his record is just ok.
Brookens has fought in main event fights in WEC and only loss in 2 and half years is to the best fighter in the world Jose Aldo.
Plus his second round match the other day was a class performance.
