Who is the coffee master on here? and he looking for part time work in a coffee shop?

[Strewelpeter]

Anyone got contacts or decent info on how or where to find a TEFL job in preferably Spain but anywhere nice considered?

The girl looking for it has an Arts Degree and a recognised TEFL qualification.

[Strewelpeter]

no, the UK government will block him

Are you sure they would be able to? Brown is playing the 'Camerons opposition to me makes me more qualified for the job' card. Sitting outside the € and with a realistic view of it might make him a popular compromise with the rest of the world.

there is absolutely no way any candidate can become head of the IMF without their own government's backing

imo

Peer Steinbruck could be an interesting alterative to Lagarde

Most of this is very unfunny, but the the last question he asks is gold. I guess you have to watch the whole thing for the last bit to be funny too.

I guess that's me, but I don't get the question...

Tony this just shows you how brainwashed we Irish are. Only from an Irish perspective can a pm who fucked his own economy seem like a reasonable shout for head of the IMF.

Not this time... well 95% not, enjoy the trip.

I'm ridiculously nervous about it, I have my rabid Munster colleague here telling me how stupid that is that its the most one sided final ever, English Rugby at an all time low, lump on at 1.5 etc.
He's just hoping we win and go on the piss before the Magners Final.

[Raoul Duke III]

[RasTa]

you mean 'the lad who googles Peer Steinbruck'?

Chatting with a mate, his PhD is IMF related, here is his thoughts.

Christine Lagarde: definitely a front runner. The French have had a
firm grip on the IMF job for decades now. The fact that she's a woman
and has a good track record in finance adds to her appeal.

Kemal Dervis: apparently the European directors have decided they're
not going to vote for a non-European. Dervis would be first in if they
decide change their mind.

Mario Draghi: very strong candidate. Maybe next in line after Lagarde.

Axel Weber: i'd be shocked if he got it. He's pissed off everyone. He
can't be trusted in public.

Josef Ackermann: I don't know what he's doing at 9/1. They've never
appointed someone straight out of a bank in 65 years.

Lorenxo Bini Smaghi: Can't be trusted. Hated by many.

Trevor Manuel: Dark horse. He's South African and a good compromise
candidate who hasn't pissed anyone off.

Drop me a text if you're around town for a drink some day - been ages.

I might throw a few euro on a few of the outsiders seeing as Lagarde
is not good value anymore.

if this doesnt get you in a good mood nothing will

Anyway, according to the FT; Tharman and the Indian dude (Ahluwalia) are the two favoured Asian candidates. Both are 40/1 with PP (Hills have them at 8s and 5s respectively) and worthy of a small wager, I'd favour Tharman as the other guy is 67 years old. Obviously the whole 'European thing' works against them so I wouldn't consider putting down any serious money. I think I will have a pony on Tharman for the laugh.

Lagarde is clearly unbackable at 4/7 even though she is a worthy favourite imo.

They have priced Draghi at 5/1 which is a joke as he shouldn't even be in the market (next ECB boss).

They have priced Dervis at 4/1. I think he has no chance, not because he's not credible but because he's Turkish. It could potentially blow up the entire Greek rescue package.

I think they have only priced up Bini Smaghi because he's been in the Irish Times recently. Brown has no chance for political reasons. El Erani won't run.

Trevor Manuel is interesting (did great job in SA) but an African will hardly get the required voting numbers.

So the value against the favourite for me would be 'the German candidate'. The question is if that is Weber (8s), Ackermann (9s) or Steinbruck (NQ). Can't see Weber being favoured by Merkel after his recent hissy fit and subsequent resignation. Why would Ackermann leave Deutsche?

If we get a decent price against Steinbruck, then I would advise playing.

[Trippie]

Asked yesterday but will ask again. Is there anyone looking for a Queens of the Stone Age ticket for the gig tonight. Have one willing to let go for cost price. om me if interested

[Emmet]

just remembered there were a load of FC Porto fans in Coppers last night too, I used to work with a heap of Brazilians so have some (extremely limited) Portuguese.

They got really awkward when I told them to hurry up, that they were lazy bastards, and that we were in a hurry.

On the plus side, they let me skip them in the queue for the bar.

[thedini]

Lol.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has told a Twitter follower: "I'll put u asleep within 10 seconds" after being provoked on the social networking site.

[Raoul Duke III]

for Leinster fans; this looks pretty handy

I assume it doesn't include your ticket

It's €10 including juice no? How do you do a P2P on Irish Eyes?

[The Situation]

Need a little interest in this years apprentice. Anyone want to take the lads in a €50 evs match bet against the girls who I'll take??

Only Jim on the lads side is worth a go, the rest seem useless.
Not sure about the Gavin guy (still to watch ep3) but I can't see any of the other men making it.

What odds on Super Jim vs The Field?

[TheJiggaman]

oh right, sorry ya, it is €10 including the reg fee I think.

hmmmm... it's on "Cashier" on irisheyespoker.com where you can then click "transfers"

Nope sorry sir not there for me. You must have to set it up? Sorry man I'm sure you'll get someone

Yeah Gavin is a strong candidate. The baldy dude isn't terrible.

Wouldn't be interested in jim vs field, hard to price up as woman are so unexposed. They could all be useless for all I know.

[Lord Sir Banter]

Yeah Gavin is a strong candidate.

lol. Good try.

The baldy dude isn't terrible.

Glen? He's a sap, no chance of winning.

Wouldn't be interested in jim vs field, hard to price up as woman are so unexposed. They could all be useless for all I know.

Only Jim is worth a go on the male side. Dunno about Tom but I wouldn't be overly confident, the remaining three are tools.

[TheJiggaman]

Nope sorry sir not there for me. You must have to set it up? Sorry man I'm sure you'll get someone

no problem, thanks anyway!

[RichieM]

Different slant to it this year with them needing to set up a company afterwards. As a result everyone with a HR, Communications or novelty corporate title is sunk imo as they just wont adjust to the small companies. Haven't looked to deep into the backgrounds but the young bald guy who came up with the idea for the useless app and the scouse lad look like they have potentail.

Jim is tough to pin down as he is clearly just an excellent debater with that particulairly annoying Northern Irish ability to avoid ever taking any blame or answering a question. I think ultimatly this will piss sugar off and I imagine already ruined him with most of his team. I think he will get loads of boardroom time as a result and eventually this will get him fired regardless of preformance.

Every series there is someone who gets the boot with "your team mates seem to not like you and even though I think you have great potential I dont want to take the risk that you will rub me up the wrong way" or some alternative wording and get fired. He will run deep but I would expect to see him fall in the final 5 or so.

[The Situation]

Only Jim is worth a go on the male side. Dunno about Tom but I wouldn't be overly confident, the remaining three are tools.

Yeah but some folk on the twitters and the like think he's untouchable already so he's a pretty strong horse to have in your stable plus 4 others who could improve over the weeks.


I'll leave it open anyway and hope one of jim's fanboys accept.

[The C Kid]

I think the inventor, Tom, could be a dark horse. He's got decent track record and think Sugar would be more keen to take a punt in this format than previously. He's been ok so far, hasn't done anything retarded which is what it's all about the first six weeks.

[RichieM]

Is Tom the guy with the glasses?

If joe puts McFadden on the wing I'll feel a lot better. Luke just isn't right.

Im very distracted these days. Ive resigned from the job here on monday but I have a 3 month notice period and I'm trying to encourage them to let me go after 4 or 6 weeks. Life is going to be so fucking painful if they don't play ball.

[Keane]

On all known form Leinster should cover the handicap with ease.
I've been proved wrong by how good their defence is and how good they are at the brakdown.
Leinster are playing like a test side atm.

In saying all that 10 of the last 11 finals have been 1 score games and the other wasn't much more, there have ben 3 times I can think of where teams needed to cover more than 1 score to beat the handicap, none of them did. Yet all 3 won.

I dont think this will be close to the walk over that everyone is expecting. Few guys with half knocks going into what is sure to be a physical match up. If Strauss takes a bad bang and is sidlined than the replacement Hooker is not up to scratch and good buy line out and hello seriously under presure scrum. i hope to be surprised but I cant see this being a run away in any shape but a tight, physical battle that will keep the scores down.

[Raoul Duke III]

scenario 2; we get early scores and cream them

[RichieM]

That certainly is possible also, as I said hope to be proven wrong and I think that either way Leinster will come out on top. Scenario 2 will also give me much more entertainment value rather than a slug fest

you would think so but I enjoyed the Leicster game as much as any 35-30 game, more actually. Titanic stuff.

The scrum is gonna be a battle anyway I guarentee you that, Mike Ross and Tonga'uiha had a great battle when they last met in the premiership, we know how good Courtney Laws is in the 2nd row and their back row is decent too. I'm not Myler's biggest fan and think that Leinster have the advantage in the half back department and Smidt will go with Reddan at 9 for quick ball for the 10,12,13 axis to click in.

It's important S.O'B and Heaslip carry ball at their 9/10 channel as thats where the breaks in the Saints defensive line can appear.

If I was betting on the outcome it would be to back both teams to win by 1-6 points. Because its a final mistakes will happen and I hope Leinster win because they've played the best rugby in Europe this season.
