      I was looking at a bunch of places in Rathmines/Ranalagh last week - a good few had "no minimum lease" iirc.

        Nice I havn't eaten elk but I imagine it would be lovely as I am a big fan of venison on the rare occasion I find it on a menu.
        not to sure what happened but when I was young it was all the rage and even remember my uncle farmed some deer back iin the late 90 or so. Used to see it quite a bit in scotland in burger form strangely enough

          why? you hardly think they see Fiji as direct competition

          they're just doing the right thing, difficult and all as that is to appreciate

                  So, despite the points bonus, this year will see the lowest participation rate in Higher Maths in the history of the Leaving Certificate Exams. I don't know, I think we need to completely re - imagine education policy in the country. It needs to be an awful lot more utilitarian from Primary school right up to the way post graduate research is funded.

                    Was there for 3 weeks a couple of years ago. Tallinn is a really beautiful city. Go to the square where you have a wide range of restaurants, pubs etc. While you can take in all the Russian history, sights, buildings etc it did feel at the end that the scandinavian influence from being so close to Finland is most prevalent to where the country is going.

                      I agree

                      let's start with re-imagining the Geography syllabus:

                        For most people unless they're planning on doing a course that requires HL Maths it doesn't make sense to do the subject. Easier to just get an A1 with some rote learning.

                                  I was thinking evens was a good price if I could get it.

                                  Obv "assuming fit and well" is part of the issue...

                                    I would have thought the line would be maybe 16 or thereabouts

                                            I think our higher maths course is fantastic. It prepares anyone who wants to go into a course reliant on maths much better than the UK equivilants. I studied in Edinburgh and the broad base I had gave me a big advantage over the other people on my course.

                                            The way it is taught up to junior level could be a problem but one of my mates is a maths teacher and I was stunned when she told me about "discovery learning" an example of which was kids not learnig the times tables and instead discovering them somehow.

                                            Ideas like this need to be thrown out quickly as maths unlike other subjects is much more a mindset that needs a foundation from early days. It is impossible to block learn for a A1 like so many other leaving cert subjects and this is why people favour doing other subjects for points. Apparently block learning entire text books and a set of notes is easier than learing some basic maths. For some this is of course true but for most it is as a result of poor teaching from a young age. Maths unlike most subjects requires what went before to build on. Without a good grasp of algebra from juniour cert most of the leaving cert course is a write off.

                                            I helped my sister who was considering doing pass maths and mainly concentrated on the algebra side. Once it was straight in her head it was easy enough to whip through the other questions. In short the maths course for the leaving cert is one of the only ones that is up to the standard it should be. Perhaps forcing everyone to use Maths and A language as points scorers woudl balance this out and put a stop to people taking 9 subjects - 3 compullsorays at pass and 6 points scorers and than finding out that HE and geography in no way prepeare you for dentisitry

                                                                    I can see Carroll getting a lot of injuries over the course of his career tbh. He always seemed to pick up niggly knocks when he was a Newcastle player, frequently missing 2-3 games quite often.

                                                                    Wait and see who Liverpool bring in imo. If they bring in one or two quality wingers lump the loot on it. If not flip a coin to decide tbh.

I've re-imagined my feelings toward loliverpool and my previous feelings of hilarity are replaced by a real fear they might score more than 10 goals with a fully fit Andy Carroll on board. I've re-re-imagined since and now I think they'll fail to get top 4. Re-Imagine, embrace the word (subject to Kayroo grammar correction)

The redesigned maths course looks a lot easier (at a glance) than the old one was. Anecdotally 1st year students I was taking for maths tutorials had difficulties with some pretty basic stuff (though my sample size is small).

                                                                                                                        B) You do not require a valid licence to get insurance. The stipulation is that you must have held a valid licence at some point.
