Phase One of Dundalk ski, casino and all-weather tourism complex got the green light.
Ski facilty to be biggest in Europe.
Casino to follow if gambling laws adjusted.
Fuck cloud computing or Green energy. We should try to become the Vegas of Europe.

'HEARTBROKEN Imogen Thomas told yesterday how she was cruelly betrayed by her married footballer lover - the latest superstar to hide his cheating in the courts. Her eyes red from crying, she said: "I can't work because of the fuss so I don't know how I'll pay the mortgage" - As reported by The Sunday Mirror.
'She was spotted near her London home yesterday weeping before holding her head in her hands and crumpling to the pavement. The agony showed as she made a phone call just hours before a meeting with publicist Max Clifford. Friends said former Miss Wales Imogen is now considering telling her story so she can move on with her life. Mr Clifford said she could earn £250,000 if she tells all and the footballer's identity is made public' - As reported by Monday's Daily Mirror.Last edited by ArmaniJeans; 18-04-11, 15:57.

The Dublin ones could advertise internationally as a 'casino square mile' and have medium buy-in events that take place simultaneously in all 4 casinos in a sort of festival of poker.
Then do some poker-rate-deals with some of the hotels, organise a minibus to travel in a circle like a sort of vegas monorail etc.
Probably yet another of my plans with major flaws.Last edited by ArmaniJeans; 18-04-11, 16:07.

So had a look the other day into travelling to south america. woke up today.kinda bored, browsing the internet. sure why not. One way flight to Mexico City booked. Off in October until god knows when. Gonna travel down towards panama, then according to the internet its best not to do the 80 mile trek through the jungle into colombia in case you bump into cartel drug smuggling runs and get chopped up. So fly to equador float on down through peru, chile argenitina etc taking int he sights and all. good times today i must admit

Originally posted by Downtown View PostSuperStroke putter grip arrived today. Looking forward to giving it a spin.
QQ I meant to ask you when you mentioned you had ordered it.
Would the length of shaft(insert joke here) required when buying a putter be relative to a persons height, or are there other factors to consider?
Any other tips when buying a putter?
I have a few quid on Amazon for ages now I got for my birthday and have them earmarked for a putter, and advice would be welcome, tyty.We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

Alot of the top pros seems to favour a short putter, this allows the arms to fall freely and just swing.
Think any standard size putter would be fine for you Danny.
The grip I ordered is easy to install and can be put on any putter. Ill fill you in here on how I find it.
The idea is that the thickness of the grip relaxes the muscles and loosens grip pressure. Hopefully eliminating pulls and hooks due to excessive hand movement. I guess we'll see!

Interesting day in the office today We in the poker industry are living in exciting times!
Don't think this upheaval is going to be good for televised poker at all, at least in terms of stuff recorded in the US, pity as there is some good stuff out there at the minute.Last edited by ionapaul; 18-04-11, 20:30.

thanks
The closest thing I can find is that he illustrated an edition of Patricia Lynch's the Turfcutters Donkey
So I was looking around trying to find out what you are after when I stumbled across this extraordinary fact that J B Yeats was the first person to win an Olympic Medal for Ireland!

May have posted this before but...
Was working in a busy shop in Dublin years ago
Serving this woman whom I recognised off the arts shows on the telly
"where are you from" she asks in the condescending manner that can only be achieved by a female no-mark 20's-early 30's arty type
"eeehhh?" I replied
"where are you from" she asks once more
Sligo
"oooh, Yeats county" smirk
whaaat?
"Sligo is called Yeats county... etc" condescending manner that can only be achieved by a female no-mark 20's-early 30's arty type (as if any Sligo person does not know of Yeats)
"aaaahhhh; Always preferred Jack meself"
she stormed out while the Woman behind her pissed herself laughing (herself a 30's Dublin arty type off de telly)
and said something along the lines of
"yer right yer right, Jack was a genius, the brother was a spoofer"
