Not even going to try to pretend that I understand who is outplaying who, but ww thread is excellent!

I think I have a day off on the right day to watch this unfold. I so want to post something to every reply!

[Angry-Ball]

Could forward you on mine if you want? Spent a lot of time on it because of always needing it for something, and fairly certain it's well done.

/ although it's academically based

would be greatly appreciated hitchhiker as i have no experience of writing up cv's at all, working in the construction industry for the last 25 years you just go by word of mouth and don't need cv's for anything.

will pm you my email

Anyone have a link to said doke's blog? Or the radio thing? Is it IPR?

It is on Brucies. Not on IPRankings or IPradio

Can someone post the details of O'Shea blog plus what Doke is alleged to have said. Well done to Nicky Heather by the way, Is he the guy with the scouser accent? Seems like the poker community has sprung off into some different tangents this last 6 months, should be interesting ahead

Well the house has had its first WSOP final table. WD to Nick Heather who scooped a 4th in the $1k NLH for a cool $150k. Great old lift for all of us!

Despite Doke and Parky taking a little pop at us on Doke's new radio show, we're all getting on great and morale is high (I gave a listen to the show and it's absolutely fucking SHITE).
I can see where Doke's bitterness is coming from, as he has tried desperately to get into a house with some Irish players but the general verdict seemed to be that people would rather grate their own nobs with a cheese grater, than share a house with that unbearable freak.
While my rant may seem a little out of the left field, he has been needling me non-stop for the last three months. I have been biting my tongue for long enough. Every time I pull the spineless coward up on it, he runs back into his little corner and apologizes, before plucking up the courage to repeat the process.
I'm going to offer this coward a poker challenge on the next IPR show I do and see whether he has any balls but my feeling is he will just took tail and run again. Lol at his pop at us in his latest blog, he might have to edit it (after Nick's 4th). Again like he did in another blog where he wrote some dribble about me that he took down before most people saw, as I threatened to expose the lies he has been spreading about himself in an effort to elevate his reputation above that of the lower stakes grinder that he is.
I'd like to offer him a side-bet for as much money as he would like - his WSOP picks against our house, which he seems to think are performing so badly. First PLO tomorrow should be fun, when the WSOP really starts for me.

Posted 2 days ago that the clutch went on my car. They just rang me there and said that the clutch was all fixed (I don't really know what was wrong with it yet) but that they need a code for the radio, as they had to take the battery out, and this disconnects the radio, and for some older cars they need a code to get the radio back in action (00 ford fiesta). So my question is why would they need to take out the battery?

[toHex]

think its pretty common to disconnect the battery when doing any work on a car. probably to protect the ECU from posible damage/surge etc?

[bp_me]

So my question is why would they need to take out the battery?

Pretty much SOP.

Also it may have been blocking access to something.

SO:
there you are now, at your desk, with your thesaurus open a flask of tea and an egg sandwich, listening to the Gyles podcast on newstalk.
All the while desperately trying to come up with an opinion on world football well above your basic level of understanding of the game.

See you know the game is more like chess that draughts, only problem is life gave you a chess board with a few pieces missing (the 4 horsey wans and a couple of the tower yokes)

You're fooling no-one but yourself with this charade sonny boy

Wanna be one of the boys this world cup?
Wanna show what you know?

can see a lot of problems with this if you are watching the game at home
1:
you could beat the crap out of the wife or kids for not getting another can from the fridge fast enough.
2:
you could end up thrown in the middle of the living room floor very early in the evening while the wifes guests that she invited earlier walk around you and the rumour goes out that you have a drink problem.
3:
you could run out of drink by the end of the first game.

3. Its next to impossible to run out of drink during the World Cup!

Thank god its not Japan and South Korea timetables. Drinking at 7:15am is a tad depressing.

further journeys into the land of thread whoring

I met a wise man the other day and he said:

"captain I have 3 things to tell you

1. if they are not with us they are against us

2. however if they are not against us it does not necessarily mean they are with us"

as i pondered this conundrum and formulated a question as to how this could be he said:

"and 3. I cannot believe this is not butter"

he paused, held aloft his warm can of smithwicks, stared at it, rubbed his chin in a thoughtful manner and took another sip.

It was then I realized that he was not a wise man at all, he was a homeless loon, I was drunk and it was time to go home.

[Flushdraw]

So i got the letter from the job today to say that i'm out the door on the 2nd of July. I'm not unhappy as i've always planned to move full time up to Letterkenny, and seeing as there's no work around, i'd rather leave now with a few quid in my pocket than leave with nothing at a later date.

I've been battling with HR over the last few weeks about my package because they are paying me based on a 24 hour week, and i wanted it based on a 40 hour week. Seemingly because i requested it, there's nothing i can do. I used to work shift and in the past 6 months, shift allowance got taken off me when my hours were changed to 9-5 so my package should have been based on a flat 24 hour week.

So I met last week, and they gave me my package details. I noticed something wrong but i listened to eveything she had to say and we signed forms etc. I told her that i wasn't happy and they said that the best they can do was maybe base my package on my pay plus shift allowance before i got changed to 9-5.

The job being the retards that they are, had already done my package based on my pay including shift allowance so it's an extra €2500 or so that i shouldnt have been entitled to. I met them today and they told me that i can't get shift allowance on my package, but they'l wipe the slate clean of €1400 i owe the company from being overpaid. Seeing as my package did mistakenly include shift allowance, i told her i'd take it and i was sent on my merry way.

We will meet up 1 more time in my last week before i leave, and they'll go over the pay details 1 more time to make sure they haven't made any mistakes (lol) and then that's me gone.

My question is, and fk morals btw because my job has none....will this money be mine once i receive the check, or can they come looking for it? I'm not going to come clean about it, and i'm not sure what i'll do should they notice it themselves, but if i get away with it, where do i stand if they spot the mistake further down the line?

[CHDad]

You won't get into heaven FD

[Ste05]

Morals smorals, get the money and say nothing. Once it's in your bank (NB, the cheque has to clear, if they cancel it before it clears, you have to go back to them) if they want it back, they can ask, you can refuse and then it's up to them to pursue you how ever they see fit (they can take you to court if they want, but they'd be mad to for what will be less then the solicitor & barrister fees). They'll prob just do nothing.

If you will be wanting a good reference from them in the future though, you could just give it back should they notice...

[Solskjaer]

Tony
From my experience with packages, your lump should be based off your aggregated earnings so I'm confused with all this shift allowance talk, unless they mean they can't add a sift allowance on top of your lump. )fair nuff) My guess is they didn't overpay you at all and this is your aggragted entitlement. Where is Olly where you need him.

it doesn't work by aggregate earnings. I requested to go part time less than 12 months so as far as they're concerned, that's how my package is based. If they requested me to go part time it would be different. I checked all avenues and it seems they are right.

They defo overpaid me, because my weekly pay they based the whole package on included an extra 15% which is what my shift allowance was previously

Now please stop telling people we swapped percentages or people will start thinking I'll swap with anyone. Your attempt to rewrite history is nothing short of pathetic.
