gave up on the sleeping idea...

Will just have to be a wreck tomorrow/today/whatever

Same as, 5 a side at 6pm and I'll prob be shattered come then

[CHDad]

There is no money in sleeping.

[Icarus152]

We're all going to die so I wouldn't worry too much.

There is no money in sleeping.

There's no money in staying awake if you play like me

My best work is always at night.

Bizarre feeling watching your alarm clock start ringing and realising you are usually asleep a solid 6/7 hours at this stage.

Productive night all the same..

[Icarus152]

Good night to all and to all a good night.

mono tone flops are ruining my night

[Raoul Duke III]

3 seats is 12/1 though. 4 seats 22's

sorry, yes. I read it wrong.

2 seats 7/1
3 seats 12/1

probably something like 150 @ 7s and maybe a saver of 50 @12s

[Raoul Duke III]

Can't see this at all. I do believe they will survive as a party, and will recover in 10 or so years time. Can't see them winning a single seat this time. 8/13 not exciting me though, care to bet on more than zero, at evens?

give me 6/4 and we have a bet

got paid today and FML (relatively speaking of course) the column on the right shouldn't be the same as the column on the left, it's just wrong

thanks to RDIII for limiting the impact this month, although I did just throw it all on Chelsea tonight. gotta ride the rush man!

[Raoul Duke III]

Looks interesting Raoul. Although i was reading about the FF and FG internal polls for Dublin SE and according to those polls Gormley doesn't have a chance. Think it was one FG (Lucinda not bringing in her running mate who's apparently a bit of a non-entity), two LAB, and one FF (Andrews was polling about 16-18% of the votes).

ah yeah, probably

god knows, he doesn't deserve re-election. Green voters are funny beasts though and DSE is a funny constituency.

I haven't placed this bet yet btw, I just think it's an interesting market. Going to do some more reading up on it today.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

...

[Raoul Duke III]

Those internal polls were about two weeks old, so could easily be out of date at this stage what with everything that is happening.

next opinion poll will be very interesting indeed

obviously the main focus will be on FF and whether Martin can get them off the floor. No doubt, Ireland being what it is, there'll be a Munster bounce for them anyway.

in other news

application forms completed and sent, medicals completed and sent, and last of the documentation sent off at the weekend for the Australian visas. all i have to do now is wait untill they ask for another bust of stuff and hopefully the end result will be that this time 12mths i will be sitting on bondi beach with cocktails while the rest of ye will be here sinking in this cespit that is the Irish economy.

SPOILER

obviously if i get refused the visa i will have to come back here and eat humble pie

[Emmet]

Vastly overestimated my ability to work on no sleep.

Nap time coming soon!

[Bless You]

Am in the middle of this process myself (for Canada)
Really sweating the medical stuff.
Should I just omit certain details or will that come back to bite me?
Don't know if my GP will be cool not declaring the recent unpleasantness.

[ArmaniJeans]

i follow the irish,hong kong and 49's lottos,altogether thats 19 draws a week.at the moment 28 hasnt come out in the 1st 6 numbers in the irish lotto for 28 draws,and 29 draws for no.35.in the hong kong lotto,no.11 hasnt come out for 27 draws.in the 49's,21 hasnt come out for 34 draws.
the way i do it is,start off with a small bet and increase it by 25% everytime it doesnt come out,but i dont start betting on a number until it has gone 25 draws without appearing.it can be dangerous though,i currently only have enough in my account to place one more bet on no.21,luckily i have the funds at the moment to top up the account to place further bets if need be.you need to be prepared to go 40+ draws without a no. coming out,and its quite possible a number could go 50+ draws without coming out.

from t'other place obviously.

imo, don't omit it. i doubt that is the kind of stuff they are looking for/worried about (but as i said this is just my personal opinion). If you have private health insurance, make sure to start the new policy over there before you close the one here to ensure a seamless transition, so they take on your full history.

I like it. Quick maths shows that if he keeps up with increasing his bet by 25% and his number comes out on the 51st draw, once he has €280,256 in his account then his last bet pays €56,052 x 6/1 (i think thats the odds) for €280,260 so that's a nice sweat for €4 imo

Receptionist just comes into the office asking us to donate enough to string together €20 for 12 cupcakes. Whaaaaaaaa?

Apparently she got a random call from someone from some breast cancer charity saying he is baking them as part of his latest fundraiser and having a heart of gold she dutifully goes aroud the office getting the €20 together. Seems a fairly obvious scam to me and best situation we are going to end up with those little queen cakes that are 12 for €1.50 in Tescoes or something. Worst situation we are going to get done out of €20 without a crumb. They think I'm too cynical.

Money has been organised now anyway so we'll see.

[DeadParrot]

when I went to L’Ecrivain it was fantastic to be fair

Arsenal hoping to sign Alex Chamberlain today. Means we'll have a Theo Walcott on both wings now and both taken from the same club. The other guy Lallana looks a bit of a catch too

Don't know if my GP will be cool not declaring the recent unpleasantness.

there is only 2 places in ireland that the australian immigration acepts medicals from for visa applications, a private clinic in cork and the mater private in dublin.
the personal grooping for missus angry-ball, 3 little angry-balls and myself, plus x-rays for the 2 adults and the eldest child, set me back the bones of a thousand euros last monday daylight robbery considering the whole process from start to finish took less than 2 1/2 hours which included a dinner break in the middle.

anyhow back to your question, i didn't leave out anything i just quickly brushed over my injuries, 2 broken hips when i was young they were pinned and the pins have been removed,broke my ankle of a motor bike which is in complete shit after it, and also fucked up my back of the motorbike. so when he asked me about my injuries i just harped on about my hip and ommitted to mention anymore about my ankle. after that everything went smoothly apart from weighing 120kg, obviously i informed him that his scales were wrong but alas to no avail. medical was very straight forward and very standard, i wouldn't advocate not telling them things as the embassy might ask for your medical records from the hospital and could open up a can of worms, just be selective as to what you highlight, obviously with your recent medical history it will be a little more complicated but from what i can remember you got the green light, so how much more can they ask for.

[RasTa]

I only put €50 down

meant to ask
what was the verdict on that french place? Bringing the missus out for a nice meal tonight or tuesday
I know you sent your folks there Rasta, what about RD?

Folks were there last night and said it was lovely. They are more eat to be full people though so it's hard getting any in-depth analysis of a meal.

They spent their last 5mins arguging that they hadn't used their €71 worth of food that was listed on the voucher

Anyone looking for some $$$ on stars? Looking for about €330 on Boyles. PM if interested

Barcelona hotels - any recommendations?

Bringing the wife so some place nice but not too expensive. Once its clean and safe I'll be happy. 3 day trip and would like it central enough.

What are the other dos and don't re Barcelona? Never been.

Thanks.

[aodea]

i see Stars launched new 50/50 games. half of a stt gets money back then say its a 5dollar game they get 0.16 for every 100 chips. Playing a few now for the crack. super aggro way to go after first few levels i think?

Thanks.

By day Barcelona is nice, its a dump at night time. Pickpocketing is rife, I got slapped by a prostitute for telling her to fuck off when she tried to pickpocket my mate. She turned über Ghettto.

Also another African hooker gropped me one night, and asked the usual 'do you want sex' to which I politely declined. Her reply was 'ok what is wrong with your cock?

OK BBV business advisors at the ready. I'm pretty much bored with being a scientician especially as it now requires me to reside in Cork for half the week.
I'm wondering am I mad to be thinking of giving the likes of this a go?:

http://www.daft.ie/searchcommercial.daft?id=62725

I'm a super-coffee snob, and worked in Bewley's for 4 years during college and did all the barista training and all that jazz. Whats the deal with it being rent free for a couple of years? Would you have to sign a million year lease? On the business side of things, GF has a business degree and is nearly an accountant so could probably handle a lot of that stuff....

Talk to me...

Ashtown is in the heart of Negative Equity Land, not going to be much if any disposable income out that way for a loooooong time. Have a walk around the neighbourhood and see what you think.
